26 We All Have Dreams

“We All Have Dreams”
(Sung to the tune of “I’ve Got A Dream”
from Disney’s Rapunzel)

[It’s rec time at Central Prison and most of the prisoners are enjoying it in their own unique ways- some do exercise, some sneak off to place an order with the Supplier, and others trade stories about how Phoenix Wright got them arrested.]

[However, instead of enjoying the brief time out of his cell, Simon Blackquill spends it sitting on a bench off to the side with a cold, morose look on his face. But despite the Twisted Samurai’s intimidating appearance, Kristoph isn’t deterred from approaching the prosecutor with his usual grin.]

[“Hello, Prosecutor Blackquill. Lovely day, isn’t it?”]

[“What do you want, Toothpick?” Simon growls.]

[“Well, since you asked so nicely …You know your most recent trial where you
prosecuted that astronaut?”]

[“The one that resulted in the destruction of Courtroom Number Four and Tonate
getting thrown in here in record time…” Simon gestures over to Tonate standing on the other
side of the area, who responds with only a slow wave.“What about it?”]

[“I heard through the grapevine that you fought against Wright in court earlier today and gave
him quite the hard time. Care to go into specific details about how my arch
enemy squirmed and struggled?”]

[“I’m not in the mood.” Simon curtly responds, turning his back to the former defense attorney.]

[“Since when have you ever been the type not to relish in the misery of others?
Why, no one could stop you from telling us about how terrified Mr. Justice was back in April when you broke your shackles
after one of his bluffs; or in July, when Wright was traumatized by that writer’s…wardrobe malfunction.”
Kristoph chuckles. “ The latter was especially delightful to hear.”]

[“Since I’m going to be put to death tomorrow, the girl who I sacrificed my life to protect is under arrest
for a crime that she didn’t do, and that the Phantom is still on the loose.
My sacrifice and everything else I’ve done over the last seven years has all been in vain.” Simon sullenly states.]

[“Mr. Blackquill, as the man who ruined Wright’s reputation and stalked him for seven years,
I know that anything is possible. And do you know why?]

[“Because you had no hobbies, friends, or anything else of importance to lose?”
The Twisted Samurai wryly asks, earning him a scowl from Kristoph.]

[“No. It’s because anything is possible as long as you have a dream- something each and every one of us has.”]

[“Well then, Mr. Evidence-is-all-that-Matters, why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and explain yourself?”]

[“Oh, I will, Prosecutor Blackquill… in song.” Kristoph smirks.]

[“Oh, bugger…” Simon sighs with a roll of his eyes.]

{Kristoph}
I’m calm, collected, and smart,
My skills really set me apart,
Though my morality is quite questionable.
But despite my debatable flaws,
And my deep fascination with all laws,
I’ve always wished to be a Broadway singer.

Can’t you picture me onstage singing ditties,
Filling the audience with glee?
While I loved being a lawyer,
I’m also a musical enjoyer,
Because everyone has dreams, I agree.
(We all agree!)
(We all agree!)
As you can see, I’m not all that beastly.
And while with revenge I’m a schemer,
You can say that I’m a dreamer,
Because we all dream, I agree.

[While the prisoners are singing, Fulbright watches scene from a security monitor in the prison’s surveillance room as Tonate chimes in with his speech synthesizer.]

{Tonate}
I’M LANKY, SHORT, AND ALOOF,
WITH ISSUES THROUGH THE ROOF,
AND AN OBSESSION FOR ALL THINGS THAT GO BOOM!
BUT DESPITE MY BEADY EYES,
AND MY CREEPY, STOIC GUISE,
I WANT TO FILL THE DARK VOID IN MY HEART!

I YEARN TO FIND A GIRL I CAN CONNECT WITH,
SOMEONE WHO’S NOT DISTURBED BY MY HOBBIES.
THOUGH I KILLED A GIRL I LIKED,
I WON’T LET MY HEART GET PIKED,
BECAUSE EVERYONE DREAMS, I AGREE!
I AGREE,
(We all have dreams!)
I AGREE,
(We all have dreams!)
AND I BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY I’LL HAVE GLEE!
AND WHILE I MAY BE JAILED,
I DON’T BELIEVE THAT I’VE FAILED,
FOR EVERYONE DREAMS, I AGREE!

{Random Prisoners}
Sahwit wants to get out and be an animal groomer.
Atmey studies chemistry after dark.
Gant swims in the pool,
Gustavia’s candy will make you drool.
Means educates,
L’Belle ice-skates,
Wellington makes ceramic plates

{Kristoph}
And Tigre takes an interest in the stock market.

[The prisoners stop singing when they notice Elbird, who is disguised as a guard, walking towards the entrance to the prison.]

[“Excuse me, Mr. Guard.” Kristoph states as he and several other prisoners approach the disguised inmate. “What do you have to say regarding this matter?”]

[“Me?” Elbird asks with a look of confusion.]

[“YES. WHAT’S YOUR DREAM?” Ted types on his speech synthesizer with a stoic expression.]

[“Sorry, guys. I’ve got things to do. So if you’ll excuse me…”]

[Elbird tries to walk away, but is quickly stopped when the prisoners surround him and point makeshift shivs- except for Tonate, who pulls out a bomb made out of a bar of soap- at him.]

{Elbird}
I have a dream like yours, alright,
Though it’s got a lot more might,
And involves me winning a big fight.
Within the boxing ring,
After a lot of prep and training,
I’ll beat the heavyweight champ, aright!

{Blackquill}
Everyone has a dream,
(We agree!)
Everyone has a dream,
(We agree!)
Mine’s to hear the Phantom’s final scream.
After he’s convicted at his trial,
I’m sure my sensei’s ghost will smile.
We all have a dream, I agree.

{Everyone}
We all have dreams,
We agree!
We all have dreams,
We agree!
We’re not all that different, don’t you see?
We’re like familyyyyyyyy!

Call us evil, crazy, opportunistic,
And eerily idealistic,
But we’re proud to say we’ve all got dreams!
We agree,
We agree,
We agree,
We agree,
We agree,
We agree,
That deep, down inside we’ve all got dreeeeeeeeams!
Yeah!
