BECAUSE I NEED THIS
"There's no such thing as an innocent person. We've all got a blemish or two in our hearts."
"Then how do you explain the tire tracks, genius?!"
"Now, are you guys going to get out of my crime scene or are things going to have to get rough?"
"The passage of time is but a fleeting moment," and a lady is young forever.
"Hey guys! Guys! Case closed! Get the car ready, and I mean the special one for this young lady."
"Enough with the smugness. Out with it already."
"Argh! Is there no one in this country that obeys the law?!"
"Heh, I'm not a cop of this land. So I'm not bound to the laws of this country."
"See! So since you don't have any, shut up!"
"Don't jerk me around! This is an Interpol case, so keep your paws off my suspect!"
".........You sure are stubborn as a rock."
"It means you'll never really know how angry I can get."
"Shih-na, let's go. Time to return to our den."
"That smug, haughty attitude of yours... You really rub me the wrong way, you know that? ...Hmph. Well, no matter. I've figured you out already anyway."
"There's only one language I'll understand: the language of evidence!"
"You don't need to apologize, Shih-na. As your boss, your mistakes are my mistakes... ...so allow me to apologize for you. .........I'm sorry."
"I may have just been shot. ...but I'll show you just how dangerous a wounded wolf can be!"
"Heh, wolves don't lie."
"Hmph... I guess I should. The more the merrier, especially when it's the peanut gallery."
"Oh...? What are you up to now, pretty boy?"
"Hah! Do you really think a criminal would tell us the honest truth?"
"Well?! Don't you dare make this wolf wait for his food!"
"I have no sympathy for someone who would try to pass the guilt onto a dead man!"
"The reason I came back... is to that I could sink my fangs into your wrinkly, old neck!"
"You underestimated me, a descendant of the founder of detainment philosophy, Lang Zi. Four thousand years of deeply entrenched connections and networks around the world... ...have really paid off."
"The people of Zheng Fa have been waiting to see your face, Mr. Alba. I'll tell everyone back home we'll be there soon. You should be happy."
"Alba! It doesn't matter where you run off to, you'll never escape me! Someday, I'll have the satisfaction of sinking my fangs into you. You'll see! And all of Interpol will be behind me, working to see to it that that day comes!"

Lang: Lang Zi says: "A wolf who aims to hunt for two rabbits at once..."
Edgeworth: I believe the idiom you require is, "He who runs after two hares will catch neither."
Lang: Heh. A REAL wolf can catch both.
Edgeworth: I see. So what you are trying to say, seeing as how I am currently handling two cases?
Lang: Heh... Suit yourself. But don't say I didn't warn you.
MIB: No matter how hard you try, you'll never be a necessity in our Shifu's investigation!
Edgeworth: Is that a fact? But no matter how good he is, he is bound to overlook something.
MIB: ! If you insult our Shifu, then prepare to be punished!
Franziska: Oh? And how exactly would you punish us?
MIB: Every investigator under Shifu's command will work to disrupt your investigation!
Edgeworth: (... Vindictive much?)
Lang: Hey... You're a real cutie, aren't you? Yeah! That's a good boy!
Badd: ... That's the police dog Gumshoe's been taking care of... I think its name is... Missile.
Franziska: What a fitting name for a police dog that dashes out in front and attacks.
Edgeworth: (That action alone isn't exactly what's going to solve the case for us, you know.)
Lang: Lang Zi says: "Until the root of the tongue dries, one never knows the whole truth."
Lang: Lang Zi says: "Capable of miracles beyond comprehension, a mysterious creature is a man."
Edgeworth: (...Rather than man, it's Agent Lang's quotes that are getting increasingly incomprehensible.)
Edgeworth: How is the investigation proceeding on your end...?
MIB: ... Lang Zi says... .........That's top secret.
Franziska: If you're going to attempt to imitate your superior, at least do it well!
Edgeworth: (I don't suppose he believes in the accidental leakage of information.)
Edgeworth: (present Prosecutor's badge)
Lang: Lang Zi says: "There is no value in trusting those who bear this mark." Let me fill you in on what I hate the most in this world. People who go around showing off that Badge! Sorry, but that's one opinion I'm never going to budge on.
Edgeworth: (present useless evidence) Agent Lang, I'd like to ask your opinion on this piece of evidence.
Lang: Are you joking? You're asking for MY opinion?!
Edgeworth: Our mutual goal is to search for the truth, in which case, wouldn't cooperation be best?
Lang: Lang Zi says: "Only cooperate with those you can trust." Sorry, but I'm not one to place my trust in you prosecutor scum so easily.
Edgeworth: (I'll take that as a "no".)
Edgeworth: (present Notes on Coachen's Body)
Lang: Lang Zi says: "Inevitably, all who have evil in their hearts find themselves in Hell." But we haven't found all the pieces of the truth yet. I've come too far to go home before I see it all with my own two eyes.
Edgeworth: In that case, our goals are the same, so shouldn't we be cooperating with each other?
Lang: Tch. We're on two different pages, you and I. And I don't trust any living thing that calls itself a prosecutor, got it?
Edgeworth: (present DeMasque II's Note) Agent Lang, what do you think about this piece of evidence?
Lang: He may be the second, but he's just a peon imitating someone else. Just look at what happened to him, all because he was out for the national treasure. Lang Zi says: "One should always know one's place in life."
Edgeworth: (I guess Lang Zi had a lot to say in life, and on a lot of mundane topics as well...)
Edgeworth: (present Babahlese Ink, Counterfeit Bills, ) Agent Lang, I'd like for you to take a look at this piece of evidence.
Lang: If we follow the trail that this piece leads us down, we'll eventually get to the truth.
Edgeworth: In that case, then why don't we cooperate and help one another?
Lang: No can do. I can't just trust someone working as a prosecutor that easily.
Edgeworth: (present Cohdopian Paper Document) Agent Lang, about this piece of evidence...
Lang: That thing stinks to high heaven!
Edgeworth: Excuse me?
Lang: Like all wolves, I've got a good sense of smell. And there's one nasty funk coming from that document. It's the smell of some dirty scoundrels' greed.
Edgeworth: (...I wouldn't mind having his sense of smell if it helps in investigations this much.)
Edgeworth: (present Allebahstian Knife)
Lang: It's covered in blood. The sight of blood... brings out my wild side. What about you? Any special reaction to blood?
Edgeworth: No, not especially.
Lang: Tch. This is why you prosecutors are all worthless.
Edgeworth: (How does that have any bearing on how good or bad of a prosecutor someone is...?)
Gumshoe: You, Wolf-man and the secretary lady! Hold it! Objection! Pal!
Edgeworth: Detective Gumshoe...! Have you got the results of the handwriting analysis already?
Gumshoe: Yup, and that note... was definitely written by Mr. Coachen, sir!
Edgeworth: Hmm, just as I thought... Good work, Detective.
Lang: Hey, Mr. Prosecutor... How long do you intend to hold us up for?
Edgeworth: Hmph... Sorry to have made you wait, but I believe that now everyone is finally here.
Lang: ...Argh! .........Shih-na is my subordinate! If I don't stick up for her, how can I look her in the eyes and call myself her boss...?!
Shih-na: .........Lang, it's alright. I can take care of him.
Lang: Shih-na.
Shih-na: You've shielded me a lot as my boss... ...but it's time for me to prove my worth.
Lang: ...Alright. If you're OK with it, then you have my support.
Shih-na: During the first Babahlese fire, I assisted in putting out the fire.
Edgeworth: So you helped with the fire extinguishing effort?
Shih-na: I was in charge of the police on the Babahlese side, so I helped them with their work.
Edgeworth: Police doing the job of firemen... You really know how to work people.
Lang: She sure does. That's because she's one awesome woman who knows how to manage.
Kay: I guess so! She's always bringing you a business card or a scroll at just the right time!
Shih-na: To prepare everything before I'm ordered to... That is the definition of a secretary.
Lang: Shih-na... What's wrong with you...?
Shih-na: Phwwh... I'm sorry. It was so funny that I couldn't help but laugh.
Edgeworth: ..."Funny", you say?
Shih-na: Yes, that you would accuse me of being the Yatagarasu. ...The prosecutors of this country really are all so very strange.
Lang: ...Shih-na... Please... show me you're someone I can trust.
Shih-na: ......... Don't worry. This will be the deciding match. You'll see.
Lang: Shih-na! You're...!
Yew: Lang, I enjoyed our days together. You're an insanely strong, nice, kind-hearted... idiot of a man.
Lang: So, you were a spy all along? A mole sent by the smuggling ring I've been chasing after... Someone who had been feeding them intel on Interpol all this time?!
Yew: Ahah! Very good! Maybe you're not as big of an idiot as I thought!
Edgeworth: Y-You're the third member of the Yatagarasu?!
Badd: ...Yew. ...I've been looking for you for a long time. Seven long years, but I've finally got you...
Yew: Ahah! Why, Mr. Badd! Long time no see. What happened to us? We used to be such a great team.
Kay: If you were such a great team, then why did you kill my father seven years ago?!
Yew: Ha ha ha. Why indeed? It was nothing personal, really. He was just another person I had to kill.
Kay: ...! How can you say that...!?
Yew: I grow weary of this, and it's about time for everything to come to an end. And this time, I won't miss.
Edgeworth: Stop!
Badd: Yeeeeeeeeew!
[gunshot]
Edgeworth: Kay!
Lang: It's over, Shih-na.
Kay: Y...! Your leg...!
Edgeworth: Agent Lang!
Yew: Grrrnk!
Badd: You idiot...! What were you thinking, jumping in front of my gun like that...?! What are you risking your life for?!
Lang: I'm sorry, Detective Badd, but no matter what sort of past she may have had... ...or even if she is a spy, it doesn't change the fact that she is my subordinate. As long as she is, I can't allow any harm to come to her, not even from you!
Yew: You really are... an idiot, you know that?
Lang: Hah! That's fine with me. You should know by now that this is just how I am.
Lang: Hey, sis...
Franziska: Yes...?
Lang: I want you to conduct a full body search. Shih-na might have another weapon on her.
Franziska: Alright. Detective Gumshoe, your assistance, please.
Gumshoe: Sir!
MIB: Hold it! Shifu! We found Mr. Edgeworth, sir!
Officer: Shifu! This way!
Lang: Yo!
Edgeworth: Agent Lang... You're back on the scene rather quickly.
Lang: If I laid back and took a break, I'd lose the scent of my prey, Mr. Prosecutor.
Alba: Agent Lang! Why in the... Why have you returned?
Lang: Because I have to solve this case, no matter what.
Alba: Well, I'm sorry to inform you. Ah, and don't take this the wrong way; I don't suspect you personally... ...however, a member of Interpol was just found to be a thief, and so...
Lang: Grr...
Alba: Under these circumstances, I wish to put your investigation on hold. After all, I believe our own police can handle things from here. They are quite capable.
Lang: ..................
Lang: Lang Zi says: "The truth lies not at the exit, but rather, shines outside the maze itself." The truth is unexpectedly simple. So let me ask you this: who do you think was DeMasque II's killer? Hmph, I'll tell you who...
Edgeworth: Agent Lang, what I've learned from you just now is that you've lost sight of yourself.
Lang: Wh-What are you talking about?!
Edgeworth: By focusing too intently on that which is in front of us, we become blind to the truth. Don't tell me Lang Zi never said anything to that effect?
Lang: You prosecutor...! Who do you think you are, speaking about Lang Zi's proverbs like that?!
Lang: Lang Zi says: "Don't object and call a success what is beyond reasonability."
Lang: Lang Zi says: "Before aiming for the throat, chew the neck shield off first."
Lang: I think I'll give trusting you a try, Mr. Prosecutor... or rather, Mr. Edgeworth.
Edgeworth: !
Lang: I leave this critical battle up to you, Mr. Edgeworth!
Lang: Quercus Alba! You BASTARD!
Alba: Silence! Don't you ever address me with such a filthy word again.
Lang: Lang Zi says: "Ferocious love blooms with each new Spring."
Edgeworth: Agent Lang... A pleasant surprise to see you here.
Lang: It's been a long time since I set foot in a courthouse. But I wasn't going to miss... ...watching the guy who screwed up my country finally get what's coming to him. Well, that and something else. I want to see you in action in court.
Edgeworth: Is that so, Agent Lang?
Lang: We flushed out all of the counterfeit bills, so Zheng Fa is finally at peace again. And it's all thanks to you, so I just want to say... thanks.
Kay: Wow, I never thought I'd see the day ol' Wolfy says thanks to Mr. Edgeworth!
Edgeworth: I should be the one thanking you, Agent Lang. If you hadn't negated Mr. Alba's extraterritorial rights... ...I would have not been able to bring him to trial. I believe the victory belongs to the both of us in this case.
Lang: .....................Tch. A shared victory, huh? Look, don't get me wrong; I'll still never forgive you prosecutors... ...and I have zero interest in that "truth" thing you talk about in court. I've always done things my own way, and that's not about to change, you got that?
Edgeworth: Hmph, I see... Well, I believe you should follow your own creed when you do your job.
Lang: Yeah, and if there's ever someone your precious "truth" can't catch... ...feel free to sit around and cry about it all you want. But as for me, I'm going to get that person no matter what!
Edgeworth: Heh... Alright. It's about time to the trial to start. I will see you later.
Lang: I'll be watching your performance from the gallery. I'm looking forward to this.
"Then how do you explain the tire tracks, genius?!"
"Now, are you guys going to get out of my crime scene or are things going to have to get rough?"
"The passage of time is but a fleeting moment," and a lady is young forever.
"Hey guys! Guys! Case closed! Get the car ready, and I mean the special one for this young lady."
