Max:And?

Max:What did you want?

M:We're here to defend you!

Max:I'm Maximillion Galactica, you know?

M:Right!

Max:The very big star at the Berry Big Circus.

Max:The ringmaster was m*rder*d.

Max:It was after a group rehearsal.

:Around : PM.

:The police presence was gorgeous.

:Just so you know, it wasn't me, honey.

M:Yeah! It wasn't you, right?

PW:But why were you arrested?

Max:Who can say?

Max:Probably because I was the last to see him before he was m*rder*d.

PW:Is that so?

Max:Well, we were having a chat about my salary.

Max:I'm the one drawing all the crowds to the circus.

Max:I figured I should be compensated likewise...

Max:But he left before we were done.

RB:Sorry, Max. Do you mind waiting for me here?

Max:Heading out this late?

RB:I'll be right back.

Max:And he left, never to return...

PW:I wonder what the ringmaster had to do.

Max:Beats me.

Max:Anyway, you're an attorney?

Max:Get me out of here already!

M:Sure, leave it to us, Max—

PW:Give me some time to think.

PW:We'll come again, Max.

M:What was that all about, Nick?

M:Playing hard to get and all!

PW:Well, eat up.

PW:I can't defend someone I don't fully trust.

M:What the heck?

M:You're saying you can't trust Max?

PW:Anyway, just eat up.

PW:Frankly, it's all really fishy.

PW:I mean, he's an anything-goes magician.

M:Say what? You're...

M:You're an anything-goes attorney!

PW:I don't wanna hear that from an anything-goes spirit medium.

PW:First, we investigate.

M:Hmph!

M:Investigate?

M:Hey, aren't you Regina, the animal trainer?

Reg:Yep!

Reg:I'm Regina!

Reg:An attorney?

M:Yeah, we're here to investigate yesterday's incident!

Reg:Incident?

Reg:Oh, the one where my daddy died?

Bo:Daddy?

Reg:I don't really know much about it.

Reg:After last night's practice, I was playing with Regent in this tent.

Reg:Sorry.

M:No, we're the ones who should be sorry.

M:We didn't know he was your father...

Reg:Huh? Why should you be sorry?

Reg:I'm perfectly all right!

Reg:I mean, my daddy became a star in the sky!

PW:A star?

Reg:He taught me that everyone becomes a star in the sky after they die.

Reg:Leon's also up there, so Daddy shouldn't be lonely!

PW:A lion...

Reg:Right?

M:It's pretty cold out, huh?

PW:Yeah, the snow's still piled up.

PW:So this is the crime scene.

DG:Huh? It's you two!

M:Ah, Detective Gumshoe!

PW:Hello—

DG:Don't tell me, you pals...

M:Yeah!

M:We're defending Max, pal!

DG:I knew it, pal...

PW:Could you tell us about the case?

DG:Sheesh, are you the only attorney in the world?!

PW:I could say the same about you and detectives.

DG:It was last night, around : PM.

DG:In this courtyard, facing the lodging house.

DG:The victim was k*lled on the spot by a blow to the noggin...

PW:What's this wooden box?

DG:We're trying to find that out now.

DG:It was really heavy, and it was locked.

DG:Also, we found this at the crime scene...

M:That's Max's hat!

DG:Indeed! A one-of-a-kind magician's silk hat!

DG:Finding it lying here settled the case.

M:Don't jump to conclusions!

DG:Of course, that's not all.

PW:This photograph only shows the victim's footprints!

M:It's true. Then how did the culprit...

PW:He m*rder*d the victim without leaving footprints behind.

DG:Only one man in this world is capable of such a feat...

DG:Yes, it's Max Galactica, the great magician!

DG:After all, he can fly!

DG:That's it, pal.

PW:The k*ller flew?

Entrance,Sign:Public Entrance

M:Nick, now we've gotta find others who can fly!

PW:Is that how it works?

G:Huh? The magician did it, obviously.

G:Acting like he owned the place...

G:It's gotta be Max.

G:He ridiculed my act, calling it dated.

G:What a jerk!

K:Max did it.

K:Why do I think that? Because he broke all my plates.

M:Everyone here hates Max, huh?

PW:Well, it's understandable,

PW:given his condescending attitude.

Max:Get me out of here already!

M:But he wouldn't commit m*rder.

PW:No...

BW:Wh-Where's the ring?

M:Excuse us!

M:You're Ben, the ventriloquist, right?

M:We'd like to talk to you about last night—

M:Er, we're defending Max.

BW:H-Hate Max.

BW:My head hurts...

PW:Are you all right?

BW:B-Busy...

M:U-Uh...

Moe:Hey, missy.

Moe:Nice outfit you have there.

Moe:Yeah, outfits really aren't meant to make you fit in.

Moe:My sides!

M:Outfits... fit in...

Moe:You guys are such a bore.

Moe:I can't stand people like you. You've just got Togo!

M:Got Togo...

Moe:I'm Moe, the clown.

Moe:I've spent twenty years in the Berry Big Circus as the most popular kids' attraction.

M:Twenty years?

Moe:The ringmaster and I started this circus together.

Moe:He was a reliable man,

Moe:and everyone loved him.

Moe:How did things come to this?

Moe:Damn that Max!

Moe:I swear I'll make him pay!

M:But we don't know for sure that he did it—

Moe:Nope! It was definitely him!

Moe:Yesterday, he even smacked Ben in the head with an empty bottle.

M:The ventriloquist?

PW:Come to think of it, he did say his head hurt.

Moe:And he said that I was "amusing, in a way."

Moe:What do you mean, "in a way"?

Moe:Quit Messi-ing around!

M:Messi-ing around...

Moe:Anyway, everyone hates him!

Moe:There's no doubt he did it!

M:I don't even feel like questioning people anymore.

PW:I've had my fill of people backbiting Max, too.

PW:Shall we look at the ringmaster's room?

M:The ringmaster's?

PW:On the night of the m*rder, Max met him there.

PW:We might find some clues.

M:Yeah!

M:Hey!

M:Nick, this is it.

Sign:Employment Contract

PW:It's an agreement concerning Max's salary.

M:He did say he negotiated with the ringmaster last night.

PW:Yeah.

PW:Looks like he wasn't lying.

M:See? I was right.

M:What's wrong?

PW:What's this?

Max:Gorgeous.

Max:Well, have you proven my innocence yet?

PW:Max...

PW:Last night, you met the ringmaster to negotiate your salary.

PW:That's what you said?

Max:Yeah.

Max:What's that?

PW:Your contract.

PW:Yes, your pay has gone up,

PW:but the date is from last week.

M:You lied to us?

PW:The most important thing for attorneys

PW:is a relationship of trust with their clients.

PW:We can fight to the end because we believe in them.

PW:I'm sorry, Max.

PW:But I cannot defend you.

PW:Goodbye.

Max:Hold on a darn second!

PW:Darn?

Max:Ah... Ah didn't do nothing!

M:Ah?

Max:Ah... Ah may be more spoiled than a hog in a hamburger mud pit.

Max:But a k*ller? That's insane!

PW:U-Uh, you are Max, aren't you?

Max:Aye.

Max:My real name is Billy Bob Johns.

M:You're a country bumpkin?

PW:You're way too shocked by this.

Max:Sorry for losin' my cool.

Max:Ah...

Max:No, I apologize, my honey.

PW:Then, Max,

PW:tell us once more about last night.

Max:In truth, the ringmaster admonished me.

Max:He told me not to fight with the others...

M:Oh, was this about hitting Ben?

Max:Yeah, that's right.

M:And making fun of Moe's bad puns?

Max:And that.

PW:Why do you fight with them?

PW:You're all part of the same circus.

Max:As an artist of the performing arts, I cannot stand them.

Max:They have no ambition.

Max:I trained for ten years to attain my current level of magic mastery.

Max:And last year, I finally won the Magician's Grand Prix.

Max:The audience that day was shocked and overjoyed by my magic...

Max:Applause rained down on the stage.

Max:And at that moment, I was so happy, I could have died.

Max:I felt like I'd lived my entire life for that one moment.

Max:Artists should polish their skills and try to take the big stage by storm!

Max:But those guys are stuck in their comfort zones,

Max:performing their stale acts.

Max:No sign of progress.

Max:It's not like they're incapable of improving! I know they can do it!

M:So that's what it was about.

Max:I know that they suspect me.

Max:But I didn't want you to find out.

Max:Max...

Max:P-Please! Don't abandon me!

M:Nick...

PW:I'm sorry, too.

PW:Would you let me defend you?

Max:Thank ya so much!

Max:Y'all sure are nice folks!

M:The Billy in you is leaking out again.

PW:Yeah.

PW:Looks like someone lives here.

M:H-Heavy...

M:Huh?

PW:What is it?

M:Is this Max?

PW:It is.

PW:A ring?

SignD,Sign:From Trilo to Regina

PW:"From Trilo to Regina"?

M:Huh? It's Regina's?

M:Where could she be?

PW:Let's go check the big top.

Tri:Wait right there, you two!

Tri:Why the hell do you have that ring?

M:Wh-What's with that boy?

Tri:I'm Trilo, a tenor singer from hell.

M:T-Tenor singer?

PW:Take a good look.

PW:It's ventriloquism.

Tri:I-I'll sing you a tune.

Tri:Oh, I will give you a gentle kiss

Tri:on your beautiful eyeball.

M:Wow, sweet melody!

PW:The lyrics, not so much.

Tri:Anyway, give back the ring!

M:Oh, this is yours?

Tri:Yeah.

Tri:Isn't that right, Ben?

Tri:Why don't you say something?

PW:Maya, let's just give it back.

M:Right.

Tri:Damn that monkey. The next time I see him will be his last.

Tri:Oh, yeah.

Tri:You said you were defending Max?

M:Yes, that's right.

Tri:I'll let you in on something good.

Tri:He definitely did it!

Tri:We saw him heading to the crime scene!

Tri:It was after last night's rehearsal.

Tri:I was waiting for Regina by that entrance the whole time.

Tri:That's when he walked past.

Tri:And Max was the only one I saw.

Tri:Right?

Ben:M-Maybe? I don't...

Tri:Be clear, dude!

M:No way. Max...

Tri:Like they say, there's no doubt about it.

PW:But your story has a contradiction.

Tri:C-Contradiction?

PW:If you were there last night, watching the entire time,

PW:you should have seen one more person pass.

Tri:Wh-Who?

PW:The ringmaster.

PW:To reach the crime scene, the victim would have passed by, too.

PW:And there's no doubt about that.

M:I see!

PW:You probably looked away when Money stole that ring.

PW:In other words, there's a chance that someone

PW:other than Max went to the crime scene.

PW:The possibility definitely exists!

PW:Your eyewitness account alone isn't enough to declare Max guilty!

Tri:Damn it!

PW:Well, thank you for your valuable testimony.

Tri:Wait.

Tri:Don't think you've won yet.

Tri:After all, there's an eyewitness who saw something crazier!

Tri:I can't wait for tomorrow's trial.

M:Nick,

M:what could that crazy something be?

PW:No clue.

PW:But I'm going to believe in the great magician, Max Galactica!
