LAWYERS!!!/2id

{Open: the county courthouse.}

ZIPPY: Alright, kid. I busted you out of the clink, so watch yer step.

BADSTAR: Uh... okay. Anyway, thanks for getting me out. Seriously, a year sentence for kicking down a door?

ZIPPY: You'd be surprised how much that door was worth. It took several hundred buffalo just to make the grease that kept that door from creaking.

BADSTAR: Well, at least they did a good job making it. It didn't make a single noise when I kicked! ...Excluding the loud thump of course. Anyway, do I have a new case or what?

ZIPPY: Yep. We've got a good one, too. Says in this case file {holds up a folder} that we've got a murder on our hands.

BADSTAR: Murder? Oh, this could be easy! I've played every Ace Attorney game known to man!

ZIPPY: I don't think that's gonna help 'cuz I'm not growing boobs any time soon. Regardless, we've gotta start looking around. Where do you suggest we head?

BADSTAR: Well, the obvious place to head is where the victim was murdered. Who was this victim anyway?

ZIPPY: Her name was Agatha Lansbury, famed author. I know this because I read the case file. I don't, however, know anything about her, nor where she lives. ... We're kind of in a pickle.

{Pause.}

ZIPPY: You got a phone book on you?

{Cut: Ms. Lansbury's house. Books are scattered here and there, and a bookshelf is knocked down. White tape is underneath the bookshelf, as is a pool of blood.}

ZIPPY: Well, here we are. I guess we can plainly see how Ms. Lansbury was killed, eh?

BADSTAR: Yep. Looks like Lansbury was... POISONED!

ZIPPY: That's right, she was stabbed to death.

BADSTAR: That's not what I sa

ZIPPY: Anyhow, we need to look for clues. Look under things, over things, through things... whatever!

BADSTAR: Okay then! LETS-A GO

{Cut: Badstar's POV, which looks like the lower screen of Ace Attorney when you examine a crime scene. The little blue box lands on the books scattered around. Beeping noise.}

BADSTAR: What kind of books are those?

{Zippy takes Badstar's DS and stomps on it.}

ZIPPY: NO TIME FOR GAMES NOW

BADSTAR: Oh come on I

ZIPPY: Those are Ms. Lansbury's novels. Like... all of them.

BADSTAR: If Nancy Drew has taught me anything, we should check these books for clues!

ZIPPY: Alright, then.

{Zippy picks up a book.}

ZIPPY: ... Okay, this one's about cats solving mysteries.

{He picks up another book.}

ZIPPY: This one's also about cats and mysteries.

{He picks up a third book.}

ZIPPY: This one's- okay, this one isn't about cats. I was worried for a second!

{Zippy hands Badstar the book. It is titled, "Murder on the Thames".}

BADSTAR: Okay, lets see here... {Starts flipping through book}

ZIPPY: Yeah, it's a murder mystery. Incredibly boring.

BADSTAR: Looks like she had a thing for mystery novels.
