I was briefly skimming over the transcription of the final case, when I noticed something about Larry, or as he now calls himself, Laurice (Hopefully I should be able to forget the court and magetama walkthroughs by the time I order TaT From PlayAsia ^___^). Doesn't he seem a bit... manic?

Spoiler: Just in case (3-5)
I mean, it's just how he goes from being sorry for himself and putting himself down, to trying to knock down Edgeys testimony...
Quote:
Butz: ...Hah... Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
[whip crack]
Butz: Hagaaah!
Von Karma: ...What is it now, witness?
Butz: It feels like... I've been waiting 25 years for this very day to come! Edgey! Today is the day I get to completely stupefy you!
Edgeworth: W-What...!?
Judge: What is the meaning of your outburst, witness!?
Butz: ...I hate to have to do this, but I have some definitive evidence.
Edgeworth: "Definitive"...?
Von Karma: "Evidence"...?
Butz: Iris did indeed come flying over the burning bridge! And I, Laurice Deauxnim... ...shall prove it!
Judge: I didn't expect to ask this again... But we shall be needing your testimony once again. Tell us anything you know concerning the defendant as depicted in this sketch... And show us your evidence that this nightmare was actually a reality!
Butz: ...OK. I hope you're ready, Edgey! Because I'm going to feed you a whopping serving of pain!

I'm just really unsure why. It could be grief of course, but it seems more than that. Has his inferiority complex suddenly made him want to beat Edgey?

What do you think?

I feel it's just Larry being up to his old self again. He did seem kinda crazy in the first game and in the third one, I think it just proves it even more.

Spoiler:
As for being mean towards Edgeworth, I think it's just from him feeling inferior to Phoenix and Edgeworth back in grade school. After all, they were the lawyer-ish, smart types (as far as I can remember) while Larry was always getting in trouble and stealing (Edggy's lunch money at least :edgy:). He probably wants to feel like, for once in a life, he's better than a friend that's shadowed him ever since his childhood.

No, I think they knew each other back when they were in Elementary school, back in fourth grade I believe.

I think what Kevintobing was pointing out was that Larry has gone over the top again. He's 25 years old at the time of GS3, so it figures that he was trying to say that he was waiting his whole lifetime for it. It's just him being his hyperbolic self. :larry:

I think that is part of it, Alkia. He'd certainly feel in the shadow of Edgey, especially since he left abruptly after the events of DL6. Not to mention the fact that thats exactly how he feels at the beginning of 3-5, small and worthless.

Still, even in AA he wasn't this mad. This is a different sort of behavior from him, because throughout his other appearences and even in the earlier parts of 3-5, he's got a kind dispositon underneath. He may be scatterbrained and silly, but he stands by his friends. But at this moment he seems to have lost it. He really must miss Elise tremendously.

According to various statements by Larry and Phoenix in AA and TaT, they've known each other since they were 1 years old.

Yeah... could we have a bit more info on your point of view? Only it's not really much of a post with just a statement with nothing backing it up.

While that might be true, he didn't meet Edgey until later, which was what Alkia was referencing. It's pretty obvious that Larry is exaggerating, they've only known each other for 15 to 19 years :3

I think they're building up to a confrontation all the way through 3:5 actually because Edgeworth is really pretty mean to him constantly and he's pretty irritating in return. I've only played it once so I haven't quite worked out what motivates that, exactly, but I did have the definite sense they were goading each other from the off.

I don't think so, they always say that "I've known you since we were both 23/25 years old", even Phoenix himself.

This is from Larry's profile on the court records page.

"Larry has been Phoenix's friend since grade school."

Same with Edgeworth but he only knew them for one year in school before he was adopted by Von Karma after his father was killed. There's also three pictures in case 1-4 with them in grade school.

I dunno, I can remember something to do with Nick and Larry being friends from a fairly young age, but they certainly only knew Edgey from school. XD But thats waay off track!

But yes, there's certainly an undercurrent of anger between the two. I mean, Edgey refuses to acknowlege their school days early on in the case. You can excuse Edgeys conduct slightly by saying that he's concentrating on the case, but that can't be the whole story. I guess he may be angry because Larry hasn't grown up.

But certainly Larry is shook up by Elise's death. We can see from his praise for her right at the start of the case that he liked her a lot. Not that many people ever had time for him. I guess theres lots of reasons why both Edgey and Larry are antagonistic to each other. (Gumshoe doesn't really help either, annoying Edgey and scaring Larry XD)
