Funny: Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
Take moments covering more than just this game over to the main Ace Attorney page, please.
The fourth case shows that Edgeworth liked to do glaring contests when he was younger. He has two, one versus a bailiff and another versus his own reflection. He loses the former, but wins the latter. How did he get his reflection to blink before he did? Nobody knows.
There's a difference between staring and glaring; all you have to do to win a staring contest is not blink, but the point of glaring is to cow your opponent into submission. That's right, Edgeworth cowed his own reflection into submission. Try figuring that one out.
And, to be fair, the bailiff was asleep. Edgeworth doesn't realize this immediately, though.
You get to cross examine, of all people, the Judge:
Edgeworth: "Objection! Your honor...!
The Judge: "I cannot allow you to make an objection."
Edgeworth: "Wh-what? I'm sorry, Your Honor, but I cannot allow you to not allow me to make an objection."
The Judge: "Egads! I've been overruled?!
Larry's second testimony in case 5, as it's essentially a non-stop stream of Edgeworth and everyone else present ripping into him.
Pretty much anything between Edgeworth and Larry, honestly - the entire conversation about why Larry was on the roof and Santa Claus being an unlawful trespasser — and to boot, that the ides of March would be in a matter of hours, and Santa only comes in December was hilarious.
Anything in case 5 that has Edgeworth interact with the Steel Samurai mythos. Especially his reaction to Larry being the Steel Samurai. Imagine Nixon-like jowls.
If you present the autograph to Larry, Edgeworth gives this gem:
Edgeworth: Larry. I have one question for you, and depending on how you answer, I may let you live.
And who didn't crack a smile when they examined the pool to find Larry popping out of the water?
Three words...
Edgeworth:Objection! Go away!
Case 4 has Edgeworth with a scene where he makes asks Detective Tyrell Badd a simple, off-handed question that causes him to bug his eyes out in a glare and reach into his tattered coat as if he's going to pull out a gun. Edgeworth himself believes the Detective is about to do just that... but all he does is pull out a mirror and proceed to scratch his beard while admiring his reflection.
Kay Faraday blows her nose in Edgeworth's cravat.
"Um... Well... Uh... How should I put this... It's hideous."
("Hmm. Maybe that was a bit too direct.")
Calisto Yew says something to get on Franziska's nerves, and Franziska readies her whip:
Edgeworth: Franziska, choose who you whip carefully or we could end up getting sued— (Is instantaneously whipped) — Oww!
Franziska: There. I have chosen carefully, as you have asked.
(Calisto breaks into hysterical laughter, which for once is actually appropriate.)
Poor Edgeworth. Wendy Oldbag had been his tormentor and creepy stalker for so long...they just HAD to include her undershirt as a piece of evidence. Of course, Franziska takes it the wrong way and think he's just being a pervert, while he's just as squicked as the rest of us. It was still damn hilarious, though. Also, this quote from Lang:
Lang: Aren't childhood friends the best?...For punching.
Case 4 when you examine the hot dog selection on the vending machine:
Edgeworth: "When you're in hot water, you might need a hot dog."................Hmm...It looks like this slogan was decided through a public contest. And the winner was... Prosecutor Winston Payne...?
Franziska: Hmph. What a pathetic slogan. No presence at all! Now, if it were up to me, it would read... "If you leave matters in a von Karma's hands, everyone in court will be found guilty dogs!"
Edgeworth: .............
OBJECTION!
Franziska: Overruled!
The entire vending machine, really. Inspecting the "Defendant's Milk" leads Fran and Miles into a debate as to whether the milk is freshly milked by defendants or from defendants.
Case 5 has a particularly priceless moment while examining the belongings of Disc One Final Boss Shih-na/Yew.
Edgeworth: "Let's examine her shoes."
Lang: "Hey Mr. Prosecutor. You know what they say about men who look at a woman's shoes?"
Shih-na: "Ahah! How scandalous!"
Case 5, when someone objects, and everybody wonders who it was:
forensics guy: It was meeeeeeeee!
The scene where Lang gives a gift to one of his men, saying that it's a present for his younger brother's wife's young brother's birthday! While Lang's 'pack' are going on about what great guy their shifu is, Edgeworth has these thoughts.
(...I should probably leave them to their "alone time.")
