Yeah, he did. That won't be a problem though.

Payne Next question! -Payne You went to the victim's apartment on the day of the murder, did you not? -Butz Gulp! -Payne Well, did you, or did you not?

-Butz Heh? Heh heh. Well, maybe I did, and maybe I didn't! -Phoenix (Uh oh. He went.) -Phoenix (What do I do?)

* -Phoenix * (I know! I'll send him * a signal...) * * -Phoenix * (TELL THE TRUTH) * * -Butz * Er... Yeah! Yeah! * I was there! I went! * * -Judge * Order!

* -Judge * Well, Mr. Butz? * * -Butz * Dude, chill! * * -Butz * She wasn't home, man... * So, like, I didn't see her. * * -Payne * *OBJECTION!* * * -Payne * Your Honor, the defendant * is lying.

* -Judge * Lying? * -Payne * The prosecution would like * to call a witness who can * prove Mr. Butz is lying.

-Judge Well, that simplifies matters. Who is your witness? -Payne The man who found the victim's body. -Payne Just before making the gruesome discovery...

Payne He saw the defendant fleeing the scene of the crime! -Judge Order! Order in the court! -Judge Mr. Payne, the prosecution may call its witness. -Payne Yes, Your Honor. -Phoenix (This is bad...)

Payne On the day of the murder, my witness was selling newspapers at the victim's building. -Payne Please bring Mr. Frank Sahwit to the stand!

-Payne Mr. Sahwit, you sell newspaper subscriptions, is this correct? -Sahwit Oh, oh yes! Newspapers, yes! -Judge Mr. Sahwit, you may proceed with your testimony. -Judge Please tell the court what you saw on the day of the murder.

WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Witness's Account -- (1) -Sahwit I was going door-to-door, selling subscriptions when I saw a man fleeing an apartment. (2) -Sahwit I thought he must be in a hurry because he left the door half-open behind him.

(3) -Sahwit Thinking it strange, I looked inside the apartment. (4) -Sahwit Then I saw her lying there... A woman... not moving... dead! (5) -Sahwit I quailed in fright and found myself unable to go inside.

6) -Sahwit I thought to call the police immediately! (7) -Sahwit However, the phone in her apartment wasn't working. (8) -Sahwit I went to a nearby park and found a public phone.

(9) -Sahwit I remember the time exactly: It was 1:00 PM. (10) -Sahwit The man who ran was, without a doubt, the defendant sitting right over there.

-Judge Hmm... -Phoenix (Larry! Why didn't you tell the truth?) -Phoenix (I can't defend you against a testimony like that!) -Judge Incidentally, why wasn't the phone in the victim's apartment working?

-Payne Your Honor, at the time of the murder, there was a blackout in the building. -Judge Aren't phones supposed to work during a blackout? -Payne Yes, Your Honor... -Payne However, some cordless phones do not function normally.

-Payne The phone that Mr. Sahwit used was one of those. -Payne Your Honor... -Payne I have a record of the blackout, for your perusal. Blackout Record added to the Court Record.

-Judge Now, Mr. Wright... -Phoenix Yes! Er... yes, Your Honor? -Judge You may begin your cross-examination. -Phoenix C-Cross-examination, Your Honor?

-Mia Alright, Wright, this is it. The real deal! -Phoenix Uh... what exactly am I supposed to do? -Mia Why, you expose the lies in the testimony the witness just gave! -Phoenix Lies! What?! He was lying!?

-Mia Your client is innocent, right? -Mia Then that witness must have lied in his testimony! -Mia Or is your client really... guilty? -Phoenix !!! How do I prove he's not?

-Mia You hold the key! It's in the evidence! -Mia Compare the witness's testimony to the evidence at hand. -Mia There's bound to be a contradiction in there!

-Mia First find contradictions between the Court Record and the witness's testimony. -Mia Then, once you've found the contradicting evidence... present it and rub it in the witness's face! -Phoenix Um... okay. -Mia Touch the Court Record button and point out contradictions in the testimony!

Now with Cross Examination, should I comment everything possible or everything necessary?

-Phoenix *OBJECTION!* -Phoenix You found the body at 1:00 PM. You're sure? -Sahwit Yes. It was 1:00 PM, for certain. -Phoenix Frankly, I find that hard to believe!

>FRANKly

-Phoenix Your statement directly contradicts the autopsy report. -Phoenix The autopsy notes the time of death at sometime after 4PM. -Phoenix There was nobody to... er... no "body" to find at 1:00 PM! -Phoenix How do you explain this three-hour gap?

-Sahwit !!! -Sahwit Oh, that! Oh, er... -Payne *OBJECTION!* -Payne This is trivial! The witness merely forgot the time! -Judge After his testimony, I find that hard to believe.

-Judge Mr. Sahwit... -Judge Why were you so certain that you found the body at 1:00 PM? -Sahwit I.. er... well, I... Gee, that's a really good question! -Mia Great job, Wright! Way to put him on the spot!

-Mia That's all you have to do: point out contradictions! -Mia Lies always beget more lies! -Mia See through one, and their whole story falls apart! -Sahwit Wait! I remember now!

-Judge Would you care to give your testimony again? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- The Time of Discovery --

(1) -Sahwit You see, when I found the body, I heard the time. (2) -Sahwit There was a voice saying the time... It was probably coming from the television. (3) -Sahwit Oh, but it was three hours off, wasn't it?

(4) -Sahwit I guess the victim must have been watching a video of a taped program! (5) -Sahwit That's why I thought it was 1:00 PM! (6) -Sahwit Terribly sorry about the misunderstanding...

-Judge Hmm... I see. You heard a voice saying the time on a taped program. -Judge Mr. Wright, you may cross- examine the witness. -Mia Wright! -Mia You know what to do! -Phoenix I've got this one.

-Phoenix *OBJECTION!* -Phoenix Hold it right there! -Phoenix The prosecution has said there was a blackout at the time of the discovery! -Phoenix And this record proves it! -Sahwit ...!

-Phoenix You couldn't have heard a television... or a video! -Sahwit Gah!!! -Sahwit I... well... urk! -Judge The defense has a point. -Judge Do you have an explanation for this, Mr. Sahwit?

-Sahwit No, I... I find it quite puzzling myself! Quite! -Sahwit ... -Sahwit Aah! -Sahwit W-wait! I remember now!

also frank sahwit = happy mask salesman im sorry, i just had to

-Judge Mr. Sahwit? -Judge The court would prefer to hear an accurate testimony from the very beginning. -Judge These constant corrections are harming your credibility. -Judge That, and you seem rather... distraught.

-Sahwit ...! -Sahwit M-my apologies, Your Honor! -Sahwit It... er, it must have been the shock of finding the body! -Judge Very well, Mr. Sahwit.

-Judge Let's hear your testimony once more please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITNESS TESTIMONY -- Hearing the Time --

(1) -Sahwit Actually, I didn't "hear" the time... I "saw" it! (2) -Sahwit There was a table clock in the apartment, wasn't there! (3) -Sahwit Yeah, the murder weapon! The killer used it to hit the victim!

what

(4) -Sahwit That must have been what I saw.

-Judge You saw a clock? I guess that would explain it. -Judge The defense may cross- examine the witness. -Phoenix Gladly.

-Phoenix *OBJECTION!* -Phoenix Wait just a moment! -Phoenix The murder weapon wasn't a clock. It was this statue! -Phoenix Now how is this supposed to be a clock?

"You have exceeded the line limit"

-Sahwit Whaa!? -Sahwit Y-you with your "objections," and your "evidence"... Just who do you think you are!? -Phoenix Just answer the question, Mr. Sahwit. -Sahwit Hey, I... I saw it there, okay! That's a clock!

-Payne Your Honor! If I may... -Judge Yes, Mr. Payne? -Payne As the witness stated, this statue is indeed a clock. -Payne The neck is a switch. You just tilt it, and it says the time out loud.

-Payne As it doesn't look like a clock, I submitted it as a statue. My apologies. -Judge I see. -Judge So the murder weapon was a table clock after all.

-Judge Well, Mr. Wright? -Judge It appears that the witness's testimony was correct. This is a clock. -Judge Do you have any problems with his testimony now?

* -Phoenix * Your Honor, there is * a gaping hole in the * witness's testimony! The only way he could have known the weapon was a clock is to hold it in his hand. -Phoenix Yet the witness testified that he never entered the apartment! -Phoenix Clearly, a contradiction!

-Judge Hmm... indeed! -Phoenix The witness knew it was a clock, because he...* -Phoenix * You're lying! * -Phoenix * You were inside the apartment * on the day of the murder! * -Sahwit * Oh yeah? Prove it! * Prove I went in there! * -Phoenix * I'll do better than that!

* I can prove you were the one * who killed her! -Phoenix You struck her with the clock, and the shock of the blow triggered the clock's voice! -Phoenix That was the sound you heard! -Judge Order in the court!

Dami's sad expression mii is the saddest thing I have ever seen

-Judge Intriguing. Please continue, Mr. Wright. -Phoenix Yes, Your Honor. -Phoenix Mr. Sahwit. -Phoenix The sound must have left quite an impression on you.

-Phoenix Understandable, since the murder weapon spoke just as you hit the victim! -Phoenix That voice was burned into your mind. -Phoenix That's why you were so certain about the time!

-Payne *OBJECTION!* -Payne W-w-what's the meaning of this? -Payne This is all baseless conjecture! -Phoenix Baseless...?

-Phoenix Just look at the witness's face! -Sahwit Ngh... grrrah! -Judge Would the witness care to elaborate? -Judge Did you strike the victim with the clock?

-Sahwit I... I...! That... that day... I... I never! -Sahwit Look... I... the clock... I heard, no! I mean, I saw...Saw... nggg! -Sahwit Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

*Throws Toupee*

-Sahwit Shutupshutupshutup! I hate you! -Sahwit I-it was him, I tell you! I saw him! -Sahwit H-he killed her and he should burn! Burn! Give him death! -Judge Order! Order in the court I say!

-Payne Your Honor, a-a moment please! -Payne There isn't a shred of evidence supporting the defense's claims! -Judge Mr. Wright! -Phoenix Your Honor?

-Judge You claim the sound the witness heard came from the clock... -Judge Do you have any evidence? -Phoenix (The whole case is riding on this! I'd better think it through carefully!) -Phoenix Yes, Your Honor.

-Phoenix The sound Mr. Sahwit heard was definitely this clock. -Phoenix A fact which is clear if you simply...

* -Phoenix * Let's sound the clock * now, here in this court. * * -Phoenix * Your Honor, may I * have the clock?

-Phoenix I ask the court to listen very carefully... -Alarm clock ...*beep*... -Alarm clock [I think it's 8:25.] -Judge That certainly is a strange way to announce the time.

-Phoenix Well, he is "The Thinker," after all. -Judge So, we've heard the clock. What are your conclusions, Mr. Wright? -Phoenix Mr. Payne... can you tell me what time it is now? -Payne It's 11:25...

-Payne Ack! -Phoenix As you can see, this clock is exactly three hours slow! -Phoenix Precisely the discrepancy between what Mr. Sahwit heard and the actual time of death! -Phoenix So, Mr. Sahwit...

-Phoenix Try to talk your way out of this one! -Sahwit ... -Sahwit ...Hah! Hah hah! -Sahwit You forgot one thing! -Phoenix (Uh oh... what's he talking about...?)

-Sahwit While it may seem like that clock IS running three hours slow... -Sahwit It proves nothing! -Sahwit How do you know it was running three days slow on the day of the murder!? -Sahwit If you can't prove that, you don't have a case!

-Phoenix ...! -Phoenix (He's right! How am I going to prove that!?) -Phoenix (Dammit! I was so close!) -Judge Mr. Wright?

-Judge It seems you lack the critical evidence to support your claim. -Phoenix ...! -Phoenix Yes, Your Honor. -Judge This means I cannot let you indict the witness.

-Judge Unfortunately... -Judge This ends the cross-examination of Mr. Frank Sahwit. -Sahwit I come all the way down here to testify, and look what happens! -Sahwit They treat me like a criminal! A criminal!

-Sahwit You lawyers are all slime! -Phoenix (Grr! I almost had him!) -Phoenix (Sorry, Larry... I failed you.) -Phoenix (There's nothing I can do about it now...)

-Mia Not so fast, Mr. Sahwit! -Phoenix Mia! I mean, Chief! -Mia Listen up, Wright! -Mia Don't throw this one away, not like this! Think! -Phoenix But, Chief, it's over.

-Phoenix I can't prove the clock was slow the day of the murder! -Phoenix Nobody can prove that! -Mia Um... well, yes. -Mia But that doesn't mean you can't still win! Try thinking out of the box!

-Mia Don't waste time doubting the facts. Assume the clock was three hours slow and... -Mia Think through it! -Mia Ask yourself, "Why was the clock three hours slow"? -Mia Figure out the reason, and you'll have your proof!

-Mia Right, Wright? -Mia Can you think of a reason as to why the clock would be three hours slow?

* -Phoenix * ... * * -Phoenix * Wait! * * -Phoenix * Maybe I can prove it! * * -Mia * You must have evidence * somewhere that can * prove it, Wright!

* -Mia * Find it and let them have it! * * -Judge * Well, Mr. Wright?

-Judge You say the clock was already running slow on the day of the murder... -Judge Have you found evidence to support this claim? -Phoenix Of course. -Phoenix There is a piece of evidence in the Court Record that can prove my claim beyond a doubt!

-Sahwit Hah! Tough words! Let's see you pull this one off! -Judge Let's see this evidence that proves why the clock was running slow!

-Phoenix *TAKE THAT!* -Phoenix The victim had just returned home from abroad the day before the murder. -Phoenix As we all know, the time difference between here and Paris is nine hours! -Phoenix When it's 4:00 PM here, it's 1:00 AM the next day there.

-Phoenix The clock wasn't three hours slow, it was nine hours fast! -Phoenix The victim hadn't reset her clock since returning home! -Phoenix That's why the time you heard when you struck her dead in her apartment was wrong!

-Phoenix Proof enough for you, Mr. Sahwit? Or should I say... Mr. Did It! -Sahwit Ngh! ...! -Judge O-order! Order, I say!
