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.

I... decline comment.

[He refuses to poke at Tony's fourth wall. It will only end in tears and sadness. :c]

Let my wolf pun go to waste, I see how it is.

[ don't be like mike topher. ]

Oh you meant like a wolf den.

[HE THOUGHT YOU MEANT DEN LIKE CAVE. SHHH SHHHH JENNA.]

...Wow. That actually was a great pun.

See? I keep telling people I'm funny.

Aww. I never thought you were unfunny.

Shot right through the heart, Topher. 'Not unfunny'? See if I ever share junk food with you, now.

It's still totally a compliment! If you squint.

I have good eyesight.

And I mean everything with only the best of intentions.

You're just lucky I'm a total pushover.

Or I'm just that charming.

Hey, Topher?

Uh-huh?

If I said I wanted to make out-- with you-- your response would be?

[ you SAID you were charming, topher. ]

[DEAD

SILENCE.

There might actually be crickets in the background of that.]

...did I kill you? I don't actually want to make out with you, if that helps.

Where did that even come from? [SO CONFUSED BY YOU, SPACE MOM.]

You said I got over it because you were charming. Horrified silence at the thought of physical contact-- just a hint, but less secure women might find that a little off putting.

I, um...

[HE'S NOT SURE WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE.]

Did you just put the psychology whammy on me?

I really, really did-- but in my defense, you mocked my bad jokes.

And I learned a valuable lesson about why I shouldn't do that today.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, there. Obviously the one about no land wars in Asia, but then there's the important, less popular half: never go in against a future therapist from a town where they have debutante balls when mind games are on the line.

Inconceivable.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[ TOPHER. TOPHER. SHE LOVES YOU lbr jenna wore out like four copies of that movie before dvds were even invented. ]

Maybe it doesn't, but you have to be impressed that I got that reference.
