Edgeworth: …

The entire courtroom went silent after Vasquez said that as Phoenix tried to find words to ask what the older woman meant by her losing and him winning.
Phoenix: Umm… So… what happens next?
Vasquez: ?
Phoenix: Don’t “?” me! Don’t you have anything to say!?
Vasquez: What would you like me to say?
Phoenix: Huh? “I lost”? Something like that!
Vasquez: I just said that.
Phoenix: W-wait, so you mean… Dee Vasquez! So, it was you? You killed Jack Hammer! …
Edgeworth: …
Judge: …
…
Vasquez: Who can say?
Phoenix: Huh?
Vasquez: Are you sure I did? Mr. Wright… We just engaged in a battle of wits. And that result of that battle? You proved the possibility that I murdered Hammer.
Phoenix: R-right!
Vasquez: But… that is only a possibility. Proof is another thing altogether. You lack decisive proof. Mr. Wright.
Phoenix: Wha… wha… wha… wha… WHAAAAAAAAAAT!?
He screamed out in shock as the entire gallery whispered again as the Judge slammed his gavel down, silencing everyone as he glanced down at Edgeworth.
Judge: Order! Mr. Edgeworth, your thoughts?
Edgeworth: Umm… uhh… mmmph. O-of course, it’s as the witness says! … Certainly, it does seem very likely she did it… but, uh, there’s no proof!
Phoenix: ‘...! Edgeworth’s isn’t sure!’
Vasquez: … Well? I came here as a witness today. If you've got no more questions, I’ll be leaving.
Phoenix: ‘Urk! What do I do now!?’ I… I’d like you to testify again!
Judge: Testify… again?
Vasquez: Know when to give up, Mr. Wright. Think about it. Even if I were to testify again, what’s the point? I can only say what I said before. The truth, Mr. Wright. I’ve already said all there is to say. What would happen if I said it again?
Phoenix: Uh…
Vasquez: You’d ask the same questions, get the same answers. A waste of time.
Phoenix: ‘Damn… damn! To come so far, only to fail…’
Judge: As it seems there are no further questions… I would like to end the cross-examination of the witness, Ms. Vasquez.
Edgeworth: Objection! …
Judge: Yes, Mr. Edgeworth?
Edgeworth: I was hoping to come up with a question while I was objecting, Your Honor… I didn’t.
Judge: I see… Very well.
Edgeworth: Objection! Your Honor! I request that the witness testify again!
Vasquez: You are the prosecutor, are you not? Why are you badgering me? I’m your witness!
Edgeworth: I… I just want to hear your testimony again.
