MILES EDGEWORTH [spoken]:
We call Ms. Vasquez to the stand

DEE VASQUEZ [sung]:
My name is Dee Vasquez
I am a producer
For Global Studios

EDGEWORTH:
On the day of the murder
You were in the second studio...

VASQUEZ:
Yes, as everyone here knows
You will find that my alibi is airtight
We were trapped at the studio, you see
Mr. Monkey had fallen, and he was not cleared
Until a half an hour after three

Nobody left the studio
Though we did take one 15 minute break
That was at 2:30, we sat next to the van
Then Sal and I each had a T-bone steak
PHOENIX WRIGHT [desk slam, spoken]:
OBJECTION!

VASQUEZ:
Don't bang on your desk. It irritates me

PHOENIX:
Right, well...You say you ate a T-bone steak, but I say you did not! Recall the state of the scene beside the van where you claim to have had your lunch –

[sung]
You’d think a T-bone steak would have left a bone there
But your plates at the studio were bare!

VASQUEZ [spoken]:
Very clever, Mr. Wright. But what does that mean? What are you insinuating?

PHOENIX:
Insinuating? Well...

[sung]
Since we know you were not
Eating your lunch with Sal
I submit to the court, that you, Dee Vasquez
Killed Jack Hammer yourself!

EDGEWORTH [spoken]:
Wright!! What kind of stunt—
VASQUEZ:
What did I just say? Let him claim what he wants...Mr. Wright

[sung]
You say that I did it?

[spoken]
Very well

[sung]
Let us have a battle of wits!

First please consider
The Samurai Spear
Quite a large weapon, as you see
How could I, a woman of small stature
Use such a thing—

PHOENIX [spoken]:
I think you could—

VASQUEZ:
I am speaking!

PHOENIX:
Ngr...
VASQUEZ [sung]:
The victim was stabbed through the front
Of his costume, am I not right?
That means he saw me coming
The "Steel Samurai"
How on Earth could I win that fight?

PHOENIX [spoken]:
Well, actually...
I'd like to withdraw my previous claim
You couldn't use the spear as we can see

VASQUEZ [sung]:
I told you, I'm not guilty!

PHOENIX [spoken]:
I didn't say that

VASQUEZ:
What on earth do you mean?

PHOENIX:
The murder weapon...wasn't the spear!

[sung]
Just that morning in rehearsal
The spear had broken clean in two!
There was no time for a professional repair –
The costume it could not have pierced through!

EDGEWORTH [spoken]:
Wright! What are you—

VASQUEZ:
SILENCE!

[sung]
My testimony will be heard
Mr. Wright, if what you say is true
Then what, pray tell
What weapon do you think I used?

PHOENIX:
Take a look at this photo...
The weapon is right here!

JUDGE [spoken]:
The fence post? Why...there's a man impaled there!

PHOENIX [sung]:
Five years ago there was an accident here at the studio
Not a word of it was to be leaked to the outside
What happened there five years ago...
Has happened here again

VASQUEZ:
How interesting...If this is true
Then tell me how I could have moved
The body back to Studio 1 all the way from Studio 2
I only had fifteen minutes to change him and then move
How could I have done that, Wright?

PHOENIX:
It's simple—

[spoken]
And you know that it’s true

[sung]
There was no need for you to carry the body
Please recall your own testimony!
The studio van was parked off to the side
All you had to do was put the body in and drive!

VASQUEZ [spoken]:
Hm...You're more clever than I thought. Alright. You win. It was fun

PHOENIX:
I...win?
