23 Objection, Your Honor!
” Objection, Your Honor!”
(Sung to the tune of “Hakuna Matanta” from
Disney’s The Lion King)
[As 4 th graders, it’s recess time and Miles is excitedly rambling on about having just seen Gregory Edgeworth in action at the courthouse yesterday, much to his friends’ visible disinterest because they’re 9 – what do they care about courtrooms?]
[Little Miles gets all huffy and insists that seeing Daddy in action was The. Coolest. Thing. EVER and how when he’s all grown up, he’s gonna be a defense attorney just like him – and then he will also get the joy of pointing his finger and loudly shouting: “Objection, Your Honor!”]
[PHOENIX]
Objection, Your Honor!
Such a commanding phrase!
[EDGEWORTH]
Objection, Your Honor!
*stretches out his index and glares*
With a steely gaze!
[PHOENIX]
It means “Oh heck no!”
To the DA’s whole case!
[PHOENIX AND EDGEWORTH]
It’s the lawfully philosophy
Objection, Your Honor!
[PHOENIX]
Objection, Your Honor!
[LARRY]
*confused*
Objection, Your Honor?
[EDGEWORTH]
*boasting*
Indeed. To be my axiom!
[LARRY]
*scratches his head*
AXE-IM?
[PHOENIX]
*joking tone as he smirks at Edgeworth*
AXE him?! Tempting, but it’s still murder!
[EDGEWORTH]
*glares at Phoenix then turns back to Larry*
This war cry means I demand justice!
[PHOENIX]
That’s right. Take Edgeworth here…
*sings*
Even though he’s a Poindexter…
[EDGEWORTH]
*scowls*
A very proud Poindexterrrrrr!
[PHOENIX]
*snickers*
We know!
[EDGEWORTH]
*harrumphs*
Much obliged
[PHOENIX]
He found that the law held his ardor and zeal
Wanted to defend just like Daddy, Courtroom Man of Steel!
[EDGEWORTH]
Yes I’m studious, but for me law’s no bore
Yet when I speak of it, my friends start to snore!
[EDGEWORTH]
*grits his teeth as Phoenix and Larry make mock snoring sounds*
Thisclose to profanity!
[PHOENIX]
*dramatically puts back of hand to his forehead*
Oh, the humanity!
[EDGEWORTH]
So much inanity!
[PHOENIX]
We’re bored to insanity!
[EDGEWORTH]
Tried to be unaffected
[PHOENIX]
D’Aw! Didja feel rejected?
[EDGEWORTH]
*downcast*
I’d get so dejected…
[PHOENIX]
*puts a comforting arm around Edgeworth’s shoulders*
Sorry, Edgy! You’ll be more respected!
[EDGEWORTH]
*mumbles*
Thank you
[PHOENIX AND EDGEWORTH]

[Scene fades, until we’re now in present day, with the three old friends drunkenly singing in a bar, with Larry sandwiched between legal legends Phoenix Wright and his courtroom rival, Miles Edgeworth, an arm slung around each of their shoulders]
[OLDER LARRY]
It means “Oh hell no!”
To defense’s whole case!

[EDGEWORTH]
*points his index at the Ace Defense Attorney with a smug grin*
I say, “Objection!”

I say, “Your Honor!”
