Good day. This is Miles Edgeworth.

These past days have been chaotic, and as such it has been easy to lose track of time; however, it must be remembered that in spite of everything that has happened we have received no indication that the jump will not go forward as scheduled. It will occur in five days. Please bear this impending deadline in mind; there will be more reminders as we approach the event, but be sure that you are prepared.

I manage a service, in which I recommend that all individuals on board to take part. It is a "buddy system," in which you are assigned someone to check to ensure that you have made it safely to the jump. For more details, please inquire here.

Additionally, if any are interested in joining the security force, please speak with me; I should be glad to direct you the right way.

[A slight pause. He's searching frantically for distraction, but this isn't enough - so he adds more.]

What languages does everyone speak? I should like to find a conversational partner; my skills are becoming rusty.

[And:]

I should also like someone with whom I might be able to discuss certain aspects of physics.

[And then another pause, and then quietly:]

Quite.

GOING SPACE CRAZY IS NOT THE WAY

[unparental]

Buzzed. "And it's all because".

DRINK YOUR MILK. STAY IN SCHOOL.

[jurisimpudent]

Because of what?

[unparental]

Ahem.

[ REPEAT AFTER ME MEANS WHAT? ]

[jurisimpudent]

...And it is all...because. I cannot say, Ms. Sommers, that I much approve of ending a sentence in a conjunction.

[unparental]

Ahem.

[ (gyay) etc. ]

[jurisimpudent]

I completed the sentence. If you can call that a sentence.

[unparental]

You can correct MTV's grammar when we're done, I promise.

Okay, next up: "this is how we do it".

[jurisimpudent]

This isn't a language at all, is it.

[unparental]

You said you trusted me.

[jurisimpudent]

...I do.

[unparental]

Then come on. Have a little bit of fun with me, and after-- you can talk law at dinner without me poking you to stop speaking Latin until dessert.

[jurisimpudent]

So it definitely isn't real language.

[unparental]

It's a language I speak you don't... if you loosely define language.

[jurisimpudent]

...Right. So what is emteevee?

[unparental]

Don't make me ahem again.

[jurisimpudent]

Fine. What was it?

[unparental]

"I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because this is how we do it."

[jurisimpudent]

...What does that even mean?

[unparental]

Questions after the repeat after me portion of tonight's event.

[jurisimpudent]

"I'm...somewhat buzzed and it is because this is how we do this."

[unparental]

Ahem.

[jurisimpudent]

What!

[unparental]

If I promise to do something you want to do after, can I bribe you into fun?

[jurisimpudent]

I was - I repeated it! I did it, just then!

[unparental]

You said 'somewhat', I can probably figure out how to play it back.
