Part 110: Episode 4, Final Day, Trial: Polly Tells All

Music: Telling the Truth


Sound: Gallery


Sound: Gavel x 3

O-order! Order!

Uh... well, what do you think, Mr. von Karma?
Sound: Whack


Sound: Damage 2



Wait a second!




Sound: Desk Slam

I have a right to do as you suggested!

Mmph...

...



!
Sound: Light Bulb

Of course, should you go through with this...



Nick... this is crazy!


Sound: Fwa-Shing 2



Not really, but what choice do we have?

Let the parrot take the stand.

I will cross-examine her, Your Honor.

!
Sound: Light Bulb



(von Karma's rigged every person's testimony, every piece of evidence...)

(Except the parrot! She's my last chance!)

(At least... I think so.)

quote:

Maybe we should try and back out of this nonsense while we still can?

(You know, come to think of it...)

Music: Silence

(This is a really stupid idea.)

Tsk tsk tsk...

I've heard of desperate mean grasping at straws...

But this is the first time I've heard of men grasping at macaws! Hah!

(Think! von Karma is a perfectionist in all things.)

(He's probably rigged every piece of evidence and all the testimonies...)

(If I can't do the unexpected I've no chance of winning!)

Your Honor. I've thought about this proposal...


Sound: Desk Slam

And I'm going to do it. I'm going to cross-examine the parrot!

!
Sound: Shock 2

Ridiculous!
Sound: Shock 2

From here, we continue the same as if we had pressed on with this crazy idea from the beginning.


Sound: Gavel



Now there's an iconic line for you.



Music: Trial



:ughh: I'm so embarassed right now.

That's... quite a bird.

Please tell us your name?



I'm not doing it, I'm not making new talking-head icons for the damn parrot.

Name!
Sound: Gavel

"..."

The witness is ignoring me.



Music: Silence

Ahem. Very well, witness...

Who is your owner? Please, er... testify for us.




Sound: Testimony 2

Music: Questioning - Moderato

"..."



"..."

Music: Silence



Well I hope you're all very satisfied with yourselves.

Hmm...



Very well, begin your cross-examination.

Right...



...

I... I don't know! What do we do, Maya?
Sound: Whoops

Hmm...




Sound: Testimony 2

Music: Questioning - Moderato

W-well...



We need to show the judge that her owner is Mr. Yogi!



Uh, press and pray I guess?

"Hello! Hello!" *squawk*




Sound: Desk Slam



I want you to testify!

:stare: :allears:



R-right!

Uh... What do I say?



That's neat, these are all ones we actually had to stumble across during the investigation. The first one directly led to the DL-6 connection and is the obvious choice, though.

(As I recall... two days ago...)





*squawk*

"Don't forget DL-6!" *squawk*
Sound: Realization



(If I can get Polly to say that here...!)



Um, Polly? Have we forgotten something?

"..."

"..."

Music: Silence


Sound: Realization

...!
Sound: Light Bulb



Forgot! Something we forgot!
Sound: Whack

"Hello! Hello!" *squawk*


Sound: Stab

:lol: :roflolmao: It's not ridiculous enough that we put a parrot on the stand, but Karma actually coached the parrot to ignore our question and make us look even crazier for this stunt. Love it.

(This is ridiculous! Why won't she say it!?)


Sound: Realization

(Wait...)

(Don't tell me von Karma expected this!)

(He couldn't have retrained the parrot... could he!?)



Music: Questioning - Moderato



We're brought back to our cross, and the second "line" of the parrot's "testimony".

"..."




Sound: Desk Slam



"..."



Not much going on with that one.



quote:

It's not really different, but it's kind of funny to see the scene for presenting evidence incorrectly when the line of testimony is just a parrot doing its "..." thing. I suppose I'll present the attorney's badge, for old time's sake.




Sound: Desk Slam

Your Honor! That statement contradicts this evidence!

...?

It does? I don't see anything contradictory...

Huh? Really?
Sound: Realization

Objection overruled.

Try to think before you make accusations, Mr. Wright!
Sound: Damage 2

(Whoops! That didn't go so well.)

...And another!




Sound: Desk Slam

The witness's statement is clearly faulty, Your Honor!

...

I'm sorry, but I can see nothing faulty.

Unfortunately, I will have to penalize you, Mr. Wright.
Sound: Damage 2

(Ugh. I must be on the wrong track?)

...Again!



This evidence clearly reveals the contradiction in that statement, Your Honor!

How exactly are that evidence and the statement just now related...?

They aren't, are they...

Not at all.

Mr. Wright, please think the facts over before making accusations.

(I don't think that won me any points with the judge...)

At this point I had a couple repeats and ran out of tries. The guilty scene is still the same as before, even though we've basically proven Edgeworth didn't do it already, but them's the breaks I guess.



I guess everything is in this one prompt that we found. I figured out how the name ties into this guy's identity like 11 updates ago, so let's get the joke answer out of the way next.



Huh? The safe? Why?
Sound: Light Bulb



Polly! What was the number to the safe in the shack?

"1228... 1228..."
Sound: Realization

...

My, what a reckless parrot.

Well, Mr. Wright?



Wait, does it? I mean, yes, of course it does!



I don't like it when Phoenix is in triumph pose and I don't understand why.

Music: Silence

Hah! Ridiculous!



Ohhh I just got it I think!

quote:

If we're not sure (or, like me, you want to explore other options), we can back off on our question and say the topic doesn't have anything to do with anything.

Uh, well, I guess it doesn't really have anything to do with that, no.

Hmm...

Please only ask questions pertaining to the matter at hand.

Very well, witness. Continue your testimony.

We're brought back to the parrot's second "line" to continue our "cross".


Sound: Fwa-Shing 2

Show us your proof!



Here comes the evidence prompt...



There we go, attorney's badge it is!





Admittedly, I didn't think you had anything to show us.



(Uh oh... I think that was the wrong thing to show them.)



Music: Questioning - Moderato

The witness may continue her testimony...



And we're dumped back to the cross, where we have to press again to get back to where we were. No penalties at least - apparently having to cross-examine a parrot is punishment enough. So I ask you, what evidence links the safe combination to Yanni Yogi's identity?
