M:Stage show! All right!

LB:Nah, after that.

LB:Apparently, the Nickel Samurai has a confession to make.

PW:A confession?

Sign:Matt Engarde's Manager — Adrian Andrews

En:Have them clean up those dishes.

AA:Right away.

En:I'll get some shut-eye until the show.

En:Wake me up when it's time.

AA:Understood.

M:You don't know anything about the Nickel Samurai's confession, Mr. Powers?

WP:No, all I've heard is that

WP:he'll hold the press conference in disguise.

PW:That'll make for a weird press conference.

PA:Your attention please.

PA:The Nickel Samurai's Celebratory Stage Show

PA:will not be held tonight, due to unforeseen circumstances.

M:What? Why?

PW:Ow! Don't pinch me!

PA:We ask for everyone's cooperation at this time.

PA:Please do not leave the venue, and stay where you are.

PA:This is a special request from the police.

PW:Police?

PA:I repeat.

P:Did something happen?

PA:Please do not leave the venue, and stay where you are.

M:Let's go take a look.

???:Freeze!

???:Ratta-tat-tat-tat-tat...

M:A-An alien, Nick!

???:Didn't you hear the announcement?

???:It just told you to stay put!

PW:Th-That voice...

PW:No way...

PW:Ms. Oldbag?!

M:What are you doing here?

OB:Isn't it obvious?

OB:I'm a cute, mature member of security!

OB:Youth these days can't be bothered to listen to other people when they talk!

OB:Just the other day, there was a small footbridge with a sign next to it that said,

OB:"Beware, Bridge Out!"

OB:And along comes a snot-nosed little punk kid right up to the bridge.

OB:I tried to tell the boy the bridge was out and it was dangerous,

OB:but he said he'd be careful and only walk on the "in" part!

OB:I really let him have it then!

OB:I wanted to make it so he'd never cross another bridge in his life, and then...

WP:Leave this to me!

OB:Eat this!

OB:Ratta-tat-tat...

PW:Man...

PW:You just can't get through to her.

M:Well, yeah. She's an alien.

P:My! Really?

PA:Ms. Maya Fey. Ms. Maya Fey.

PA:You have a phone call at the front desk.

M:What could it be?

M:I'll go see!

:All right. See you later in the lobby.

G:Ms. Maya Fey, I take it?

M:Yes...

G:Allow me to guide you.

G:This way, please.

LB:I'm telling you...

LB:I get people the info they want!

LB:Which means that I have a right to know!

LB:Nope! We're still investigating, pal!

PW:Larry?

LB:Oh, Nick!

LB:Tell this cop I'm just doing my job, and I have rights...

DG:Hey, pal, help a guy out...

DG:This is a m*rder we're talking about!

PW:M-m*rder?

DG:Me and my big mouth!

PW:The stage show was canceled...

PW:Does that mean the victim was the Nickel Samurai?

DG:No, the Samurai's the accused again.

PW:Huh?

PW:Then, who was the victim?

DG:The Jammin' Ninja, pal!

LB:In other words, the guy playing him, Juan Corrida?

DG:That's right, pal.

DG:An action star whose popularity is on par with Matt Engarde, the Nickel Samurai.

DG:Well, basically, a rival.

LB:And rumor says Engarde was arrested earlier

LB:on suspicion of murdering Juan Corrida!

PW:What's with Samurai always getting arrested?

LB:And Matt Engarde is...

LB:A huge star, famous as "that guy who's as refreshing as the spring breeze"!

LB:This is the biggest scandal of the twentieth century!

PW:Like I said, the twentieth century ended a long time ago.

DG:Anyway, you're hindering the investigation.

DG:Head back to the lobby.

P:If Mystic Maya heard about this...

PW:Yeah.

PW:She'd definitely make me take this case.

LB:Oh, by the way, I was asked to give this to you.

PW:By whom?

LB:Uh, a bellboy at the hotel?

BB:Is this the attorney Mr. Phoenix Wright?

PW:Yes, and you are...

BB:I believe I have a valuable item of yours.

PW:Item?

M:Help, Nick!

P:Mystic Maya?

PW:What's the meaning of this?

BB:It's what you would call a kidnapping.

PW:Kid—

P:Kidnapping?!

PW:What do you want?

PW:How much do you want?

BB:I seek not money, but a certain verdict.

BB:A complete acquittal.

PW:What?

BB:I believe a m*rder has just occurred there.

BB:A young man named Matt Engarde has been arrested.

PW:How do you know that?

BB:He did not k*ll anyone.

BB:I can attest to that.

BB:The trial is in two days.

BB:At that trial, you will win a "not guilty" verdict.

BB:You have only one chance.

PW:An acquittal in one trial day?

BB:Yes, exactly.

BB:Oh, and since I am playing the role of kidnapper,

BB:I cannot pass up this chance to say,

BB:"And don't even think about calling the cops."

PW:Who the hell are you?

BB:My name is

BB:De k*ller.

PW:De k*ller?

LB:N-Nick...

ME:An attorney?

PW:Yes.

ME:Hold on a sec.

ME:I'll ask my agency boss, okay?

ME:Too bad. They said no.

ME:I'm sorry, but they're apparently hiring a big-shot lawyer.

ME:At least tell me about the incident—

ME:Oh, wait.

ME:Let me ask my agency boss.

PW:Uh, that's not...

ME:Sorry, but for an interview, you have to contact my agen—

PW:Mr. Engarde!

PW:Please!

PW:Let me defend you!

ME:What's wrong?

ME:Why the scary face?

PW:I beg you!

PW:If I can't defend you, De k*ller will...

ME:What did you just say?

ME:De k*ller?

PW:Y-Yes...

ME:Understood.

ME:Please defend me in court.

PW:R-Really?

ME:I expect a verdict as refreshing as the spring breeze.

PW:Thank you!

P:Thank you very much!

ME:Well, take a seat.

PW:Mr. Engarde, I'd like to ask you something first.

PW:Did you k*ll Juan Corrida?

ME:Mr. Wright,

ME:I get told I'm too c*ck, and people often misunderstand me.

ME:But Juan and I had a healthy rivalry.

ME:I haven't k*lled anyone.

ME:It's true.

PW:Do I have your word?

ME:Please believe me.

ME:I'm really upset by this...

ME:I'm supposed to be a hero, but I let him die.

PW:Very well.

PW:I'll place my trust in you.

ME:Great. The trial's tomorrow, right?

ME:I'm counting on you.

PW:Good to work with you.

PW:Oh, by the way...

PW:I heard you called a press conference for after the stage show last night.

PW:I mean,

PW:something about the Nickel Samurai making a confession.

ME:I don't know anything about that.

ME:I let my manager handle all that stuff.

PW:Oh, is that so?

P:Will everything be all right, Nick?

PW:Well, at least we were able to get Engarde as a client.

PW:Now I just have to prove him not guilty in court tomorrow!

P:Okay.

AA:I'm Adrian Andrews, Matt Engarde's manager.

PW:Oh, hello.

PW:I heard you were the one who found Juan Corrida's body last night?

AA:That's right.

PW:Uh, where was that?

AA:His dressing room.

PW:But aren't you Engarde's manager?

PW:Why were you in Corrida's room?

AA:It was almost time for the stage show to begin,

AA:so I went to check on him, just in case.

AA:Engarde couldn't have performed alone.

PW:R-Right.

P:Ms. Andrews must be a real go-getter.

OB:Ratta-tat-tat-tat-tat.

OB:Oldbag!

PW:It's the "oba the hill" granny...

OB:Come with me a second.

PW:What do you want?

OB:I suppose you zeroed in on her, too.

OB:That woman is a real go-getter.

PW:What about Adrian?

OB:She's a real scoundrel!

OB:Under Engarde's orders,

OB:she approached my dear Juan and led him astray using her vile wiles!

OB:Look.

PW:His partner is his rival's manager, AA?"

PW:AA...

PW:Adrian Andrews?

P:Excuse me, Nick,

P:what are "vile wiles"?

PW:Uh, let's put that aside for now.

OB:Engarde set up a scandal to make his rival lose face.

OB:They toyed with poor old Juan...

PW:Uh, Ms. Oldbag...

PW:You liked Juan Corrida?

OB:Jammin' Ninja!

DG:You're defending Engarde?

PW:Well, yes.

P:It's a kingdom of bears!

DG:Apparently, his fans sent these.

PW:He liked bears?

AA:In the past, he holed up in the mountains for three years, fighting bears.

AA:Evidently, it strengthened his body and soul.

P:He must have been strong.

PW:Was the corpse found here?

DG:That's right, pal.

DG:A knife was stabbed in his chest.

AA:I hear Engarde's fingerprints were on the m*rder weapon.

DG:The final autopsy report isn't out yet,

DG:but yes, that's what led to the arrest.

DG:Besides, we also have eyewitness testimony.

DG:Frankly, you have no chance this time, pal.

PW:There's a witness?

Fran:At last you reveal your true nature, Mr. Phoenix Wright!

PW:F-Franziska von Karma?

Fran:So you are the type to steal information from detectives!

Fran:How dishonorable!

Fran:All your fault!

Fran:This time, victory is mine!

Fran:I swear on my family name!

fran:Also, Adrian Andrews.

AA:Y-Yes?

AA:Sure.

PW:Your camera?

LB:Sure you didn't steal it and sell it on the spur of the moment?

PW:I don't know.

LB:Now is the time to confess.

PW:Don't seriously suspect your friend!

LB:And I'd photographed a big scoop, too!

P:Here, drink up while it's still hot.

LB:Oh, Pearls! Thank you!

PW:Present?

PW:Did you sh**t Prosecutor von Karma?

BB:Relax. She won't die from that.

BB:But she won't be able to stand in court for a while.

PW:Why, you...

BB:It was simply cover fire.

BB:Now, go get that "not guilty" verdict.

PW:Hey!

P:Will the prosecutor with the whip be all right?
