%% * ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': '''''"Objection!"''''' Justified as they ''are'' all lawyers.

If the catchphrase is usually said by one character, it's a BorrowedCatchphrase. If it's something one person said once, then someone else said later, it's an IronicEcho or MeaningfulEcho. If the catchphrase is directed at the same person in each instance, that person is a PhraseCatcher. If someone else's pet phrase or verbal tic 'infects' another character, it's GotMeDoingIt. If it only lasts for one instalment, that's an EpisodeTagline. Such phrases can count as SharedFamilyQuirks if predominantly used by family members.

If the catchphrase is usually said by one character, it's a BorrowedCatchphrase. If it's something one person said once, then someone else said later, it's an IronicEcho or MeaningfulEcho. If the catchphrase is directed at the same person in each instance, that person is a PhraseCatcher. If someone else's pet phrase or verbal tic 'infects' another character, it's GotMeDoingIt. If it only lasts for one instalment, that's an EpisodeTagline.
