*knock, knock*
Edgeworth:
Come in.
Gumshoe:
I've brought Bonnie Hare, sir!
Edgeworth:
Thank you, Detective. That will be all.
Bonnie:
Um... W-what is the next plan?
Phoenix:
We've twice tried to tell him to stop, but both times, we've failed to deter him. Then, we came upon one other drastic tactic.
Bonnie:
And that is...?
Phoenix:
It's the kind of plan where we find you another boyfriend, and so he'll have to give you up! Of course, you'll just pretend you have a boyfriend.
Gumshoe:
Doesn't sound as drastic as you said...
Phoenix:
No, no. It will be a big shock to Leon if he hears Bonnie has a boyfriend. He might even get angry and swing a fist at the person playing the boyfriend.
Gumshoe:
Now that you mention it, pal, that could happen. Ah, I get it! So you want me to play the role of Bunny's boyfriend? If things get dangerous, I'll fight with Leon and protect her!
Phoenix:
Pairing you up with Bonnie... might not work, Detective.
Gumshoe:
What do you mean by that, pal?
Edgeworth:
You and Bonnie don't match at all. That's what he means.
Phoenix:
E-Edgeworth, being that blunt about it could hurt his feelings... Well, it's true they don't really go well together, but it's best to leave each to his own, right?
Gumshoe:
...Mmgh. Your words of support aren't supporting at all, pal.
Edgeworth:
I've already selected someone else to play the role as Bonnie's boyfriend. He should be arriving shortly...
Gumshoe:
Y-you're...!
Godot:
Ha...! I'm not the type to be half-hearted if I've just been exposed. We'll need someone who's experienced the bitter and sweet depths of life... carefully roasted to deep, black perfection.
Phoenix:
P-Prosecutor Godot! You're actually going to take on this role?
Godot:
Don't be stupid. Once a man says "yes", there's no need to ask again... Trite.
Edgeworth:
Bonnie, this is Mr. Goto. He will be playing as your boyfriend for this round.
Bonnie:
Mr. Goto?
Phoenix:
Geez, not again, Edgeworth. At least get the name right.
Edgeworth:
If it's him, he should be able to confront with Leon Lionhart head on. At that moment, he'll try to convince him to never approach her again. It'll be the ideal scenario if he does leave. However, if by any chance he instead starts a fit in sorrow...
Godot:
Ha... then I'll treat him to a cup of coffee... the best blend, of course. A steaming hot Godot Blend #107... all over his head.
Phoenix:
I think that's a little much...
Edgeworth:
Furthermore, Bonnie will be present this time.
Bonnie:
Eh? M-me too?
Phoenix:
When he sees you with a boyfriend, it'll leave a stronger impression. It's why he has to see you two together.
Bonnie:
But, I... um...
Gumshoe:
It'll be fine, pal! Even on the off-chance that his inner beast awakens, I'll jump in and save you!
Bonnie:
Oh, but... um...
Edgeworth:
In any case, Bonnie will be sitting in for this day. Is that alright with you?
Bonnie:
Um, I... well... o-okay.
Phoenix:
(Well, she sure seems a bit shaken up... Perhaps, she's scared to meet with the man himself? ...No, somehow it doesn't feel like that either... Just what is it?)
4:34
Godot:
*gulp*
...Bah. It's the same disgusting sour taste... Hey, you want a cup?
Bonnie:
Oh, uh... but if it's sour...
Godot:
Life isn't all about bitterness. If we're to grow up, we have to take in the sweetness and sourness of it too... Same with coffee.
Bonnie:
Uh... sure...
Phoenix:
As usual, I have no idea what he's talking about.
Gumshoe:
In other words, Prosecutor Godot is too relaxed, pal!
Phoenix:
Forget that. Bonnie looks really nervous... like how she was earlier. She keeps looking around.
Gumshoe:
She must be worried about meet with that guy himself, pal. It'd be strange if she wasn't.
Phoenix:
Yeah, but... I still feel we're missing something.
Gumshoe:
What's that?
Phoenix:
That sister of Leon. She might barge in again and spoil everything.
Edgeworth:
But, there's no way she will appear this time around.
Phoenix:
Huh? How do you know?
Edgeworth:
That's because there is a very good reason she can't... probably.
Phoenix:
A reason why she can't show up... and that is?
Edgeworth:
That is all. It seems our awaited visitor has arrived...
Receptionist:
Welcome, Master Lionhart.
Leon:
...Hoh? Now this is unusual. I hadn't expected to meet you here... Bonnie.
Bonnie:
Ah! L-Leon!
Leon:
Have you come to see me? I'd welcome you then, but... it doesn't look like that's the case.
Godot:
I don't dislike those who quickly catch on. I'd also be happy if you would leave too.
Leon:
It's too bad I can't do that. Why are you sitting here... right beside her? That's my seat, Mr. Mask.
Godot:
Ha...! No matter who he is, every man wears a mask on his face... or over his heart. Even you bear one to keep the beast in, don't you?
Leon:
...Heh. You're a pretty interesting fellow. I think we can get along. I'll treat you sometime.
Phoenix:
It looks like they're doing pretty well...
Leon:
So, just who is this masked man... Bonnie?
Bonnie:
Uh, um...
Leon:
You're not going to tell me that he's your boyfriend, are you?
Bonnie:
Ah...
Godot:
And what if she does?
Leon:
I'm asking Bonnie. You shut up and drink your coffee.
Godot:
There are times when a man has to open his mouth. To drink coffee, or when he has to explain the situation instead of his quiet girlfriend.
Leon:
Ho... so I was right. Then tell me your name.
Godot:
My name is Godot... Bonnie's boyfriend.
Leon:
Don't tell me things I didn't ask you.
Godot:
Oh, excuse me... But sometimes, a man bears more to his name. Don't you feel the same way... first son of the Lionhart Gang?
Leon:
So you know of me, do you?
Godot:
Yeah. Pretty well. The hungry lion who's always chasing my kitten around.
Leon:
"My kitten"...?
Godot:
As her boyfriend, I reserve the right to call her that... just as I can call bad coffee "bad".
Leon:
I'm honestly surprised... that Bonnie actually has a boyfriend.
Bonnie:
Uh...
Leon:
This is the first that I've heard of it. She didn't even tell my sister.
Godot:
You know why she'd keep quiet, don't you? Women are like coffee... they're better quiet. It's enough if they just occasionally talk to you.
Leon:
Hmph. Looking at you is like looking at myself... and I've had enough of it
Godot:
Kindred spirits? If you're gonna quit, then go ahead and save me the trouble.
Leon:
That's up to Bonnie to decide. May I ask her myself?
Godot:
Fine. Do what you need to, only until I finish my coffee. But, I'll only take one bad cup of coffee. That's one of my rules. I won't wait for long...
Leon:
Bonnie, is this man really your boyfriend?
Bonnie:
Ah... um...
Leon:
Which is it, Bonnie? Do you really love this man!? Do you love this masked man more than me!?
Bonnie:
Um, I...!
Phoenix:
Suddenly, I've got a bad feeling about this... Will it really be alright?
Leon:
Answer me, Bonnie! Is this man really your boyfriend!? Do you truly love this masked man more than me!? Which is it, dammit!?
Bonnie:
Eek!
*splash*
Gumshoe:
Ah! Prosecutor Godot just splashed coffee on him, pal!!
Phoenix:
We're doomed.
Leon:
You bastard... What the hell are you doing!?
Godot:
An agitated man who only knows how to howl deserves to wake up to a cup to the face. That's one of my rules.
Leon:
...Interesting. Thanks to that, it's fully awake now... the beast that lurks within!
Gumshoe:
This is bad, pal! He's gone outside the bounds!
Phoenix:
W-we have to stop them!
Bonnie:
Hold it!
Leon:
B-Bonnie?
Bonnie:
P-please hold it right there. I-I... I... I...!
Leon:
Bonnie...
Godot:
Young lady...
Phoenix:
W-what is she going to say?
Bonnie:
Ooh... I... um... I'm sorry!!
Leon:
Hey, Bonnie! Wait!
Phoenix:
Hey! Bonnie just ran off!
Edgeworth:
After her, Wright!
Phoenix:
Right! Let's go!
Gumshoe:
I'm coming too, pal!
12:18
Phoenix:
*pant, pant, pant*
...How about you, Detective Gumshoe!?
Gumshoe:
No good, pal! I can't find her anywhere!
Phoenix:
In any case, I'll go back to the restaurant for now and meet up with Edgeworth to let him know. You keep searching for her without me!
Gumshoe:
You got it, pal!
Phoenix:
(Bonnie... why did you just run off?)
12:52
Phoenix:
It's no good, Edgeworth! As I thought, she's nowhere to be found... but at least Detective Gumshoe's still searching.
Dyna:
Don't screw with me, numbskull!
Phoenix:
I'M SORRY!! ...Wait. Huh!? Dyna Lionhart! Why is she here!?
Dyna:
Hey! You, the jerk in the mask! Who said you could play as Bonnie's boyfriend!?
Godot:
Ha. When being scolded by a woman, just quietly sip your coffee... Well, this is a surprise.
Phoenix:
Hey, Edgeworth! Why is Dyna Lionhart here? You said so yourself that she couldn't show up!
Edgeworth:
The situation's changed. The only reason keeping her away has disappeared.
Phoenix:
The only reason...? So what is it?
Bonnie:
Hey! Listen to a woman when she's talking! Mr. Goto!
*ding*
Edgeworth:
It's exactly as I thought.
???#1:
Yo! Is this the place, Tray Bien!?
???#2:
Where the hell is Leon Lionhart!?
Phoenix:
W-what's with these guys?
Edgeworth:
It looks like the Hyena Gang.
Hyena#3:
Hey! Get out here, Leon Lionhart! You made a clown outta me last time!
Phoenix:
Eh? That guy... isn't he the one who bumped into the waitress before!?
Edgeworth:
It seems he's brought his fellow henchmen into the fray with him this time.
Hyena#3:
Hey, blondie! I got somethin' to ask ya!
Dyna:
Sh-shut up! You're in the way!
Hyena#3:
Whoa, there. You're quite the feisty girl, ain't ya? You know you're talking to the Hyenas!?
Phoenix:
This isn't good, Edgeworth! The Hyena and Lionhart gangs are in the middle of a gang war! If that girl, Dyna, is found out... they won't let her off that easily!
Edgeworth:
That is, if she really is the real Dynamite Lionhart.
Phoenix:
Huh? W-what do you mean?
Edgeworth:
You still don't get it, Wright? I've already got her real identity figured out.
Phoenix:
Her real... identity?
Edgeworth:
Think about it. Why would she so happen to show up at this particular time?
Phoenix:
At this particular time... after Bonnie ran off? So then...
Edgeworth:
This is the third time she's arrived to interrupt us. She only appeared under certain circumstances, no, she could only appear under those circumstances.
Phoenix:
You've been saying that since earlier...
Edgeworth:
That reason... is Bonnie Hare. She only comes when Bonnie isn't in our sights.
Phoenix:
When Bonnie isn't around...? Well, you do have a point.
Edgeworth:
Furthermore, she's fully aware of the plans we prepare in advance. Now why is that?
Phoenix:
That's because... Bonnie had told her about them...
Edgeworth:
Tsk, tsk, tsk. At this point, you should try a different train of thought. For example, what if she had been part of our meetings from the start?
Phoenix:
In that case...
*ding*
Phoenix:
...N-no way! You don't mean...!?
Edgeworth:
This time around, I had purposely mispronounced Mr. Godot's name up to now. As I had expected just earlier, she referred to him as "Mr. Goto".
Phoenix:
...Ah!
Edgeworth:
If you think about it that way, everything else falls into place. The timing of Dyna's appearances, the way she knew about our plans, the reason why she recognized Franziska, and the reason why she mistook Godot's name...
Phoenix:
So that means... the real identity of the blonde girl is...!
Hyena#3:
Talkin' big even when you don't know your place!? You're just askin' for it!
Dyna?:
Ah... ugh...
Godot:
Stop right there. Ganging up on a helpless young lady... is simply shameful.
Hyena#3:
Who the hell asked you, ya masked bastard!? If you tryin' to challenge the Hyena Gang... then you'll get beaten up with this woman! Aren't ya!?
Phoenix:
Anyway, we have to help them! She and Godot are in trouble!
Edgeworth:
Why hasn't Detective Gumshoe arrived yet!?
Phoenix:
We can't wait for him! We'll have to save them ourselves!
Edgeworth:
Nngh...! There's no choice, then!
Hyena#3:
Yo! I had enough! Jus' tear up this whole damn place! If you wanna blame someone, blame Leon Leonhart!
Leon:
Stop right there, you fiends!
Hyena#3:
L-Leon!
Leon:
Your opponent is me! Leave these civilians out of this! You damn Hyenas!
[I know hyenas aren't dogs, but I meant "dog" as in "lackey"]
Hyena#3:
So ya finally showed up, did ya!? We'll lynch ya!
Leon:
...How amusing. If you want some, come and get it! You've awakened it, you know... the beast that lurks within me!
Hyena#3:
T-take him down, guys!
Hyenas:
Grrraaaaaaahhh!!
*bonkity-boink*
Hyenas:
Aaaaaaah!!
Leon:
Heh. They were all bark and no bite.
Phoenix:
H-he took out all five... in an instant!
Hyena#3:
...I'b bery zawrry...
Leon:
Are you alright, miss?
Dyna?:
Uh... I...
Leon:
Having trouble standing, huh? Here, grab on.
Dyna?:
Th-thank you... Leon.
Leon:
...! This voice... it can't be! Are you... Bonnie?
Bonnie:
Ah!
Leon:
I knew it... it IS you!
Phoenix:
So you really did dress up as someone else, huh?
Bonnie:
D-did you already know?
Phoenix:
Uh, yeah... well, at least just earlier.
Leon:
Wait a sec! I still don't understand what's going on! Can someone tell me?
Phoenix:
Sure. I'll start from the beginning...
19:52
Leon:
I see... so that's what happened.
Phoenix:
But there's still something I don't understand. Why did you dress up like this?
[I didn't think he was talking around her, but that he was still talking to him]
Bonnie:
It's... uh...
Leon:
What is it? You can tell me.
Bonnie:
Th-the truth is... I was trying to defy my father!
Edgeworth:
What do you mean?
Godot:
A sheltered daughter defying her strict father... something like that.
Bonnie:
Yes. I, um... I've always kept my feelings holed up. I'd fight any selfish urges and keep quiet about them, so my father wouldn't be upset. That's why I ended up trying to fight back, just this one time..
Leon:
Bonnie...
Phoenix:
That's strange.
Edgeworth:
What is, Wright?
Phoenix:
Edgeworth, don't you find something odd about it?
Edgeworth:
What are you talking about?
Phoenix:
Bonnie tried to make trouble for her father by acting as someone else, right? If so, I feel like it contradicts something else.
Edgeworth:
A contradiction?
Bonnie:
Leon, I'm just this kind of woman. So please, don't keep following me any more. If you do, you'll just end up in trouble... And Dynamite too.
Leon:
Bonnie!
Bonnie:
Goodbye... Leon.
Phoenix:
Objection! Bonnie, you're lying!
Bonnie:
L-lying? But I... I'm not lying.
Phoenix:
I believe you were really trying to fight back against your strict father. But your claim that you only used Leon for that contradicts a certain piece of evidence!
Edgeworth:
What do you mean by that, Wright!?
Godot:
In that case, we should let him point it out... Trite, your evidence.
Phoenix:
Yes, of course... Take that!
Bonnie:
Ah!
Leon:
That's... a photo of me!
Phoenix:
The one who dropped this was Dyna Lionhart. If she really loved her brother so much, it wouldn't be strange that she'd bring a picture of him with her. However, the real owner of this photo is actually Bonnie, who disguised herself as Dyna!
Bonnie:
Th-that's...! I... er... uh...
Phoenix:
In that case, if Bonnie really wanted to defy her father, she wouldn't need to bring this photo with her!
Bonnie:
Ah...! Eeeh... Eeeeeeeeek!
Edgeworth:
Oh, so that's what you were talking about. Now I know what you mean, Wright.
Leon:
Hey! What are you talking about!?
Phoenix:
That is something that you should ask Bonnie, not me.
Bonnie:
But!
Edgeworth:
Tell the truth, your real feelings.
Phoenix:
Well, Bonnie? You should tell it to Leon.
Bonnie:
But if I do that, what will my father do to Leon...?
Leon:
Bonnie, you don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine! Please, tell me your true feelings.
Bonnie:
I... I understand. I... I... I really like you, Leon!
Leon:
Bonnie!
Bonnie:
When I first met you, I always thought you were so cool. You were totally different from me, free to roam and do whatever you want. But, if my father were to find out, it'd only make more trouble for you! So, when I heard that my father went to Mr. Edgeworth to discuss about you, he was going to keep you away from me. So that's why I dressed up as Dynamite and tried to get in their way! I'm so sorry!
Leon:
It's not your fault, but... because you did, you almost got in trouble.
Bonnie:
But, I had to do something or I'd be torn away from you! I couldn't let that happen! I tried my best even though I was scared. I tried so hard...
Leon:
Bonnie... heh, what do I do with you?
Godot:
This special blend... tastes a little too sweet all of a sudden.
Phoenix:
Whew... And with that, all the problems are resolved.
Edgeworth:
Nonsense. The most important problem has not been resolved yet, Wright.
Phoenix:
Huh? What now?
Edgeworth:
Even if she's finally spoken out, they are still the son of a gang leader and the daughter of the Chief Prosecutor. No matter what, there is absolutely no possibility that they can stay together.
Phoenix:
N-no way! That's...
Edgeworth:
Not to mention, she has already been scheduled to meet for an arranged marriage... as the Chief Prosecutor has stated.
Leon:
Hey, is that really true?
Bonnie:
Yes... actually, it was supposed to be today.
Edgeworth:
The SP will be come to pick her up here presently.
Phoenix:
No way!
Edgeworth:
Leon Lionhart.
Leon:
Urf... what?
Edgeworth:
You don't have any time left. You'd better make up your mind.
Leon:
Yeah... I can't do anything to stop the meeting. Heh... well, looks I don't have a choice.
Bonnie:
What? B-but...
Leon:
I don't have a choice... but to take you with me now!
Bonnie:
Ah! L-Leon!
Leon:
Come run away with me, Bonnie!
Bonnie:
Eh!?
Leon:
If I'm with you, I don't care what happens to me! I'll leave the rest of the gang to my sister! What do you say, Bonnie?
Bonnie:
Y... yes! I'll go with you! I'll stay with you through whatever comes our way!
Leon:
Alright! Then hang on tight!
Edgeworth:
...And they're gone.
Phoenix:
Yep. As they say, "and they lived happily ever after". Not bad.
Edgeworth:
Indeed. And now that she's freed herself from her father's control, she can finally choose to follow her own path. Perhaps it's for the best.
Phoenix:
Hey, by any chance, did you mean to stir up Leon by telling him about the meeting?
Edgeworth:
I have no idea what you mean by that.
Phoenix:
Ha. Even you might sometimes pull something like that. But... is this really alright with you?
Edgeworth:
Hmm? What is it?
Phoenix:
Well, the Chief Prosecutor asked you to get Leon away from Bonnie...
Edgeworth:
...Ah.
Phoenix:
(Now he gets it...)
Edgweorth:
Mmph... nnngh... Just how should I explain this to the Chief Prosecutor?
28:54
Edgeworth:
...Which is to say, even after I've gathered all of you for this, it ended up like this.
Maya:
Aw, but hey! At least they were happy in the end! Things are all right!
Godot:
And who knows... They've gone off somewhere and are enjoying life.
Phoenix:
But Franziska's the only one who's still huffy over it...
*whip*
Phoenix:
Owwww!
von Karma:
Phoenix Wright... and you, Miles. I expect to be well compensated for the shame I had to endure!
Edgeworth:
Mmph... I'll keep that in mind.
Phoenix:
*wobble*
...By the way, Edgeworth, how did things go with the Chief Prosecutor?
Edgeworth:
A-as I was telling him about what happened, he spewed foam from his mouth and collapsed to the floor in a faint.
Phoenix:
Ehh!?
Maya:
I guess it really came as a shock. Well, his only precious daughter eloped. There's no helping it.
Phoenix:
And I bet Edgeworth got a good scolding for it later...
von Karma:
You should look forward to your next month's salary assessment, Miles.
Edgeworth:
...! Kkkrrggh...
Gumshoe:
Mr. Edgeworth, sir! If you ever need someone to talk to, you can always come to me! I'll show you the places where you can eat cheap noodles, sir!
Edgeworth:
Urgh... Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.
Gumshoe:
But now that we're done, it means the end of your tag team, right, pal?
Phoenix:
Yeah. But who'd have thought I'd one day team up with Edgeworth?
Maya:
Huh? What are you talking about? It's too early to dissolve the team!
Gumshoe:
What do you mean, pal?
Phoenix:
Yeah. We already finished our job.
Maya:
Hm, hm, hm! You shouldn't underestimate such an excellent assistant like me! I already hauled in a bunch of clients for Team Edgewright!
Phoenix:
Huh?
Maya:
Hmm, first off, we'll look for a missing parrot!
Phoenix:
Huh??
Maya:
Then, we'll get to cleaning my room! Ah, wait! How about this? The Steel Samurai Hero Show! You'll wear suits of the Steel Samurai and the Evil Magistrate and clash in battle on the rooftop of a department store!
Edgeworth:
The Steel Samurai... you say?
Phoenix:
Uh, Maya? None of those things call specifically for the two of us!
Maya:
Now, now. Don't say it's pointless! I'm sure they'll be coming in droves to enlist you guys!
Godot:
Ha! That's right. Next time... you two can help me with my investigations.
Phoenix:
Whaaat!?
von Karma:
In that case... I wonder what I should request from you?
Edgeworth:
What? Even Franziska too!?
Maya:
Hey, what about you, Detective Gumshoe? You need anything?
Gumshoe:
Ah, yeah... well, I'm feeling pretty hungry, pal.
Maya:
Then these guys can treat you to dinner sometime!
Gumshoe:
Whoa! That's a GREAT idea, pal!
*ding*
Phoenix:
...Edgeworth, I guess this would be a good time to send them our regards.
Edgeworth:
Hmph. I too had the same idea.
Gumshoe:
Oh! It can't end without this!
Maya:
Okay! Then give it all you've got!
Edgeworth:
Very well...
Phoenix:
Here goes nothing...
Both:
Objection!!
