Practice threading for Distant Skies!

[jurisimpudent]

I'll not waste my breath pointing out the utter idiocy of your plans to join this game; such words are, to my way of thinking, trite by virtue of their inevitability. Yes, you - like nearly everyone else - have comparatively limited time. And, of course, you wish to play the martyr over this, agonize and complain, so that others will know just how busy and important you are. I'm not going to enable such self-indulgent behavior.

Rather, I'll merely tell you this: if you think you're so utterly and terribly busy, if you think that you've so little time, then don't waste it further with whining. Instead, make it count. I've no use for someone who will dither rather than be a productive member of society.

And on that day, you'll have to fear. You and all the rest like you.

[keepyouwaiting]

Ha...! I don't fear anything, and especially not any trained pup of Von Karma's.

Step into the court with me, little Edgeworth, and I'll give you the spanking you deserve.

[jurisimpudent]

More like you'll throw out your shoulder.

[keepyouwaiting]

[Does everything he says have to sound like innuendo?]

Undoubtedly, by the time I'm through with you.

[... yes.]

[jurisimpudent]

Of course, while you're otherwise occupied, I'll have won the case.

[keepyouwaiting]

Ah, how cute. The naive dreams of youth. Scented of fresh lemons, you see.

[jurisimpudent]

Hmph. Tell me, have you ever gone up against von Karma?

[keepyouwaiting]

Yes.

[jurisimpudent]

And what was the result?

[keepyouwaiting]

My client was found guilty.

[jurisimpudent]

Quite. And what of the other lawyers you know who went up against him? What happened?

[keepyouwaiting]

Do you think losing makes someone an inferior lawyer?

[jurisimpudent]

Without question.

[keepyouwaiting]

Of the times I lost to your mentor, there was little question several of them were guilty. Wouldn't it have been wrong of me to argue for their acquittals when that was the case?

[jurisimpudent]

It would have. And yet you did so anyway.

[keepyouwaiting]

And of the times I lost to your mentor, there were several clients of mine who I believed were innocent, without a shadow of a doubt. I should be expected to sit there and watch the prosecution rip those people apart without anyone to speak for them?

[jurisimpudent]

If you thought they were innocent, then you were a fool taken in by charlatans. I suppose that's better than being willfully obstructionist, at least.

[keepyouwaiting]

I happen to think an inferior lawyer charges in blindly swinging for victory and without regard for the truth.

[jurisimpudent]

[His voice is just a bit strained.]

The only truth I care about is the truth of what is to happen to criminals who think they can defy the law and get away with it.

[keepyouwaiting]

And what about innocent men charged with crimes they didn't commit? What about them?

[jurisimpudent]

There are no such men.

[keepyouwaiting]

So let me get this straight. You believe in the fairy tale of an infallible prosecutor, but not in the innocent accused?

[jurisimpudent]

Who's being naive now? No one is "innocent."

[keepyouwaiting]

You're implying that everyone is guilty of some crime and deserves to be charged for it?

[jurisimpudent]

Well done. Capable of comprehending basic sentence structure after all.
