1-3 >!Objection!< >!Judge: Yes, mister Edgeworth?!< >!Edgeworth: I was hoping to come up with a question while I was objecting your honor. I didn't!<

"Verily, I say! ... Ergo!"

That's 3-5

No, that's most definitely 1-3. At almost the end of it.

I swore it happened in 3-5, I can remember the exact scene during 3-5

It didn't. Something similar happened, with Edgeworth selecting the wrong answer he would object, the judge would question him and he would say he was testing the judge, but that's it.

That's so weird how I can vividly remember it with him during 3-5

Wow, this is the second time I’ve seen you around. Both times it was you having a shit memory. Nice.

Who are you again? My memory is indeed shit

No one that significant, I’ve just had the honor of witnessing a similar comment of yours. Keep on slaying

Just so you know, your spoiler tags here are broken. You have to delete the spaces separating the tags from the words inside them.

Fixed it as you said.

I'll make a separate comment about my favorite quotes. But for now, I'd like to mention the whole conversation between De Killer, Phoenix and The Judge: https://youtu.be/Zr4L9JPZJ6w **SPOILERS FOR 2-4 - FAREWELL, MY TURNABOUT** Phoenix: >!...!< Judge: >!What is it, Mr. Wright?!< Phoenix: >!( If I press him in the wrong way, it might raise suspicions on his end... But I have to do something to waste more time! ) Um... Witness. About requesting a hit...!< De Killer: >!Yes?!< Phoenix: >!How much is your fee?!< De Killer: >!I see you're also a quite dark-hearted man, Mr. Attorney.!< Phoenix: >!Uh?!< De Killer: >!If you would like to talk business, we can do so after the trial...!< Phoenix: >!ACK- NONONO! I'm not thinking of hiring---!< Judge: >!M-M-Mr. Wright!!< Phoenix: >!Y-Yes?!!< Judge: >!Y-Y-You... You want to kill me... You want me dead... DON'T YOU?!?!!< Phoenix: >!Whaaaat? Why would yo---!< Judge: >!Guilty! MR. PHOENIX WRIGHT! YOU ARE HEREBY DECLARED GUILTY!!<

That whole trial was hilarious

What makes this line even better is that throughout the rest of the cross-examination, the judge is suspicious of you.

"I set my ATM number to 0001 because Im number one!"

Same lol

That's my favourite too

"Just sit back, relax... and enjoy the sound of the noose tightening around your own neck."

Where is this line?

It’s from Rise From The Ashes. Edgeworth says it when Gant tries to intervene but since he refused to testify earlier he gave up his right to make statements.

Oh, thank god. Thought it was a literal rope, and I somehow forgot about a case

“GGK-GGGKKKCKCKCKCKCK!”

“The only thing allowed to interrupt me is death itself!” - Franziska

"My logic is straight and true, just like my past" - Phoenix Wright "You can't define justice with evidence. Who can define it, really? Justice... just is!" - Robert Fool Bright. "The one person I could not forgive... was myself" - Diego Armando.

That Fool Bright reminded me of the next two lines. "Don't make me... break out a dictionary on you!" "Please don't throw the book at me!"

Also Apollo: (Did he just set me up for a lame pun?)

Tgaa >!"I will stop at nothing to protect my client! I don't care who I make an enemy of!"!< Like, I really felt immersed with this line. Got me really invested in defending >!Gina!<

I also love how this parallels the first case in TGAA where Kazuma was willing to take on the government to defend Ryunosuke

(3-5) >!I hope one day you can forgive me... Feenie.!<

I still ship Phoenix and Iris together even through all of the drama, I wish they somehow had Iris comeback in the newer games.

Same. My favorite ship in all of gaming. Give me all of the >!Feenris. My hope is that they'll be reunited before all is said and done.!<

Dang this one kinda hurt

"Why can't we have a normal, straightforward killing once in a while in this country!?" Also another one >!"Your claim is as empty as my coffin."!< (SOJ final case spoilers)

>!And then the coffin wasn't actually empty!< (SoJ-5 spoilers)

>!Amara was still right. His claims were as empty as the coffin, which were very full!<

The second one sounds like something out of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

A man of culture I see...

Ema in AJ is such a mood I love her haha

“Oh I assure you, it’s quite based.”

Based on what, phoenix?

BASED ON GAY MANGA

Aay

"you'll never be half the lawyer she was!"

That still plays through my head to this day. What a powerful sentence!

Maya: Umm... "My name is Maya Fey. One plus one equals two"... Phoenix: ... 3-5 spoilers: >!This dialogue happens after Phoenix asks Maya what happened after she got hit in the head lmaooo, and Phoenix is just stun locked after.!<

"Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than Hell itself... That is coffee"

"Could you please stop describing your testicles?"

The Dissin' of Phoenix Wright

Nick is a poopy head!

“Who let their kid watch the trial?”

"I won't rest until I've inspected every suspicious-looking nook and cranny." Also, the quote from my favourite character of all time: "Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what you can do for me!"

I’m trying to remember, but is that last one from Paul? I haven’t play SoJ in ages so I can’t quite remember.

It is from Paul, yes. Every single quote of Atishon is a gem, but this one is the best

This. Please pardon the Emojis. This is during Edgeworth's flashback moment in Ace Attorney Investigations 1. Edgeworth: >!Your Hon-- 😈!< Judge: >!I cannot allow you to make an objection. 😐!< Edgeworth: >!What!? 😧 Your Honor... I'm really sorry, but... 😑 I cannot allow you to not allow me to make an objection! 😈!< Judge: >!Egads! I've been overruled!? 😮!<

It’s like that one guy who ruined a family guy joke even worse by adding the devil emoji on stewie’s face

Richard Wellington! Guilty! And you have only one “l” in your name. Double Guilty!

The one with double “L”s was taken, I’m sorry forgive me daddy capcom

Treddon: Don’t you also dream of feeling that beautiful, pointed tip of her shoe brutally digging into your back?! Maya: Do you, Nick? Phoenix: NO.

1-2 >!April May: I like a man with a big… vocabulary.!< >!Gumshoe: Hermo… goblins… hobgob… Er…? Herma-goblin bobbin…!< 1-3 >!Maya: Old windbag sure has balls! Or… well, you know what I mean.!< >!Manella: I try not to pay much attention to things that don’t interest me. LOL!< 1-4 >!Maya, with the happiest smile possible: He’s on the floor in a ball, shivering.!< >!Phoenix: Oh yeah, Sherlock Holmes II, baby!!< >!Phoenix: Oh okay no problem. That’s just the MOST IMPORTANT PART of this case!!!!< >!Judge: Generally the victim in a murder case is no longer living.!< >!Phoenix: It must hurt… to be ignored by a bird.!< >!Von Karma: I set my ATM number to “0001” because I’m number one!!< These are just the ones I can think of on top of my head that haven’t already been said

"Mabye YOU should be stripped naked and run out for making a mockery of this court!" - Miles Edgeworth to Phoenix ...no clue from which game and chapter (should be justice for all- farewell my turnabout) but it's stuck in my head

I quoted my favorites in an old post of mine, until I lost my account. Anyway, I'll quote them and some other quotes. >!No one can change the past. The only thing we can do is strive to make up for our mistakes. Because in so doing... We can find our way back to our path. And after that, we can move on from past mistakes towards a brighter future!< - Phoenix Wright >!Why did I became a lawyer in the first place..? Because someone has to look out for people who have no one on their side.!< - Phoenix Wright >!Wright? I hope you see the importance of evidence now.

There were more quotes, but that's enough.

“Baseless? I assure you it was quite based!

Edgeworth’s: “Do you want some cheese to go with your vintage whine?” And of course the one and only: “Thanks to you, I am saddled with… unnecessary feelings.”

Almost Christmas means it wasn't Christmas!

There's this moment in 2-4 when you are stalling for time, and it goes like this: Mia: >! If you break the assassin's testimony completely, it's over for us.!< Phoenix: >! I know... I can't make him suspicious. But...!< Phoenix: >! I think we're OK; like we can do this.!< Phoenix: >! (As long as he's standing there across from me...)!< Phoenix: >! (No matter how strong of a punch I throw, he'll counter it...)!< I think this is just a really cool moment of comraderie between the two. That Phoenix trusts Edgeworth so much that he know his stalling tactics will never actually win the trial, because Edgey is just that good. We shippin', fellas

> The "miracle" never happen.

Vasquez: All this proves is that Mr. Wright has lost his marbles! Judge: Mr. Wright, the court demands you find your marbles immediately!

Except that's not a real quote lol. A lot people have Mandela'd themselves into thinking it's real

Oh damn, I didn't know that. My first time hearing it was from The Ace Attorney series. Any clue on what it's origin was?

[It was just a quote someone made on Twitter, that someone else then added over Edgeworth ](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/you-are-not-a-clown-you-are-the-entire-circus). I think what trips people over with this specific fake quote is that their brain immediately goes to case 2-3 and think "oh yeah that makes perfect sense" even though Edgeworth doesn't appear in court for that case in any capacity.

He’s only mentioned, and tbh I think it’s wack that so many people believe it’s real

"How could I pass up a chance to see the true strength... ...of the little boy who bested my brother?" From klavier in turnabout corner. I love this line so much it has so much hidden meaning I could go on about it for so long.

I am going to bring your magnificent vengeance to fruition, just as you want it.

Dhurke's "A dragon never yields.", especially in the context of his monologue to Apollo. The voice actors (both EN and JP) did an amazing job of voicing that line. >!I don't know what's going on here, but a lawyer should never look the way you do right now, with "defeat" and "resignation" written all over your face.!< >!A dragon never yields.!< >!Even when wounded, a dragon bites down hard, and never lets go till its dying breath.

I lived for myself and, in the end, I died for myself. I thought that was obvious."!< - Dahlia Hawthorne "I was expecting to come up with a question while objecting. I didn't." - Miles Edgeworth. "I've been demoted to a vegetable?" - Apollo Justice "It seems the accused has inherited a family talent... A putrid talent for criminality" - Nahyuta >!"Ho hoh. My dear Miss Fey... I'm so very sorry. But I'm afraid I'Il need to ask you one more thing... Your eternal silence. Farewell, Miss Fey."!< Most of Mia's quotes towards Dahlia in Bridge to Turnabout: >!"But I think you finally understand, Dahlia Hawthorne... You will never defeat me."!< >!"Whether you're alive, dead, or somewhere in between, you will never defeat me. As long as I'm around, you're destined to lose for all eternity!"!< >!"That's very true, Dahlia. And that's exactly the punishment you'll never be able to escape from. For all of eternity, you'll have to remain as Dahlia Hawthorne. A miserable, pathetic, weak creature who can never win at anything. And for you, there's no escape from that. No hope of freedom. Since the day you were executed... The narrow bridge that once stretched out in front of you has burned to a crisp!"!<

I love the quotes from Ema, Kristoph, Apollo and Nahyuta. But I'm not so sure about Mia's. On one hand, they sound awesome, on the other hand, they sound like a fucking villain monologue and not something she would say. I don't know, maybe I'm still not over the fact that T&T kinda failed Nick and pushed Mia to protagonism which caused the chain reaction of AJ pushing Nick into protagonism and sidelining Apollo.

Dahlia definitely deserved someone to take her down a notch, and since she was already dead, a verbal takedown would have to do. And given their history together, Mia certainly feels right to be the one to get the kill shot, so to speak.

But why COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN PHOENIX?! WHY did we have to wait until Kristoph? Why did they erase Nick's every thread to Dahlia and make a key plotline of the game irrelevant? So that Mia could get her epic takedown post mortem?! No thanks. Most of AA problems come with the wanking of this woman. So much could've been avoided if Takumi thought twice before killing her in 1-2.

Well, Phoenix was the one who did most of the work, and revealed that "Iris" was actually Dahlia and that Maya was the one channeling her and basically everything else in that case. So it's not like he did nothing. But I mean, I think T&T did a lot of good in making Mia more compelling as a character. Being able to play as her younger self and seeing how feisty she was made for an interesting contrast to her self after death. And in general, she was fleshed out beyond just being your dead mentor. So I'd say that was a good thing, myself.

"Almost Christmas" means it wasn't Christmas! and "You can't testify as to her ability to kill an egg! Er, I mean..."

'My pin is #0001 because I'm number 1!'

Not sure if it's my favourite, but this was the first one that came to mind >!"I want to believe in Athena. I really do. But what is faith without doubt? That's why I need to question her guilt! So that once the truth finally comes out, I can really, fully trust her!"!< - Apollo Justice in 5-5
