Larry: Ah, finally found it! I thought my stand went somewhere. *shiver* Whew, thinking about it, it's gotten kinda chilly. And wasn't that toilet further away? Ah, well. The great Larry Butz isn't going to let this little cold hold him back! Besides, I've got just the thing for Mabel at the fair... Hehehehehe. Hm? What the, the moon's out. And it was so dark just a moment ago.
*fwoo*
Huh? ...Oh, it's just the wind. Still, it feels kinda creepy now. Plus, it's pretty late already and there's still tomorrow, so I guess I'd better get back home!
*voom*
Wah! W-what was that!? W-what's that sound!? I-is someone there? ...Aah!
???: *huff*... *huff*...
Larry: Eeek! M-Mr. Alien...?
???: Yes... that's right. We are messengers from outer space.
Larry: Th-they're really heeere!! Ah! M-my stand, i-i-it's flying! A, a UFO... A UFO took my stand... Gaaaah!
*bonk*
1:57
Edgeworth: It's some rather pleasant weather today.
Kay: It's gotten pretty warm, huh? Mr. Edgeworth, are you taking the day off today?
Edgeworth: I don't have anything particular planned today. For once in a while, I can take it easy.
*rumble, rumble*
Edgeworth: Hm? That noise... I've got a bad feeling about it. Kay, please lock the door.
Kay: Oh, sure.
*bamf*
Kay: Ah!
Larry: Edgeyyyy!! Help meee!!
Edgeworth: Too late...
Kay: Oh, it's Larry... Whoa!
Larry: Kay, darling, you're looking just as cute today! Wait, this isn't the time for that! Edgey, listen to me! An alien just stole my stand!
Edgeworth: An alien? Hmph, what nonsense are you going on about now?
Larry: Really, I mean it! Come on, just listen!
Edgeworth: I would if you'd stop making that sour face.
Larry: It's 'cause of what happened that I'm making one! Just hear me out, okay!?
Edgeworth: Whether or not I hear your out, I can already tell by your face that you've been caught up in some odd trouble again.
Larry: That's what I'm saying! You get it, right? At last, I've really been attacked by an alien!
Kay: A-alien... *whisper* (I hope Larry's just feeling a little sick and not anything worse...)
Edgeworth: It's alright, Kay. In any case, I'll listen to his story.
Larry: You'll really hear me out, best buddy!? I knew friends were the best people in life!
Edgeworth: Fine, fine, just start talking! I may not have much time to spend with you.
Larry: Oh, really? Okay, I'll talk... For the upcoming fair, I figured I'd bring my Samurai Dog stand, so I set it up yesterday night.
Kay: Fair? Ah, you mean the one at Gourd Lake Park, right?
Larry: Yeah. I bet lots of people will be showing up if I set up my stand there. But then, that so important cart was snatched away by an alien!
Edgeworth: Alien, alien, you've been saying that nonsense for a while now. There's no such thing as an alien.
Larry: No, there is! There was! The UFO was there too!
Kay: Larry, you saw a UFO!? Wow! Was it really cool!? ...Uh, but now isn't the time for that, heh heh.
Edgeworth: Whether by alien or UFO, in any case, Larry's cart was stolen by someone.
Larry: That's what I'm saying! The culprit is an extraterrestrial lifeform!
Edgeworth: Good grief... How did you ever land yourself into this sort of trouble? You're ever the unlucky sap. 'If something smells, it's usually the Butz.' Nothing ever changes there, does it?
Larry: Whatever, just do something, anything! If I don't get that cart back, I'll get desperate! There'll be rumors all about me seeing aliens!
Edgeworth: Hmph... what a disappointment. It looks like my day off will have to wait.
4:58
Kay: Wow, Gourd Lake Park is already in that festive spirit! There are all sorts of carts and stalls out! Aah... but they look like they're still getting ready.
Gumshoe: It's a huge event, after all! Lots of people will be gathering here. Even us police are getting really pumped to get the security ready!
Edgeworth: Even though I didn't exactly call for you, Detective Gumshoe...
Gumshoe: That doesn't matter, sir! I'm your personal subordinate! But, finding a cart that was stolen by an alien? It's yet another troublesome case, huh.
Edgeworth: What's troublesome is this man here.
Larry: Me? Hehehe, aw shucks.
Edgeworth: That wasn't a compliment. Well? Was this place where your cart was stolen?
Larry: Yeah, I think it is. It was pretty dark and all, so I got lost on my way to and from the toilet.
Edgeworth: Well then, Larry, could you explain in a little more detail what occurred?
6:02
*testimony*
Larry: Like I said, for the upcoming fair, I figured I'd bring out my Samurai Dog stand and set it up here. The day was coming up real soon, so I had to stay late into the night.
Gumshoe: You worked for that long, pal?
Larry: Yeah, I just stuck through it. It's all for Mabel's...
Kay: Mabel?
Larry: Aah, i-it's nothing, never mind.
Edgeworth: Don't hide anything! ...Well, I doubt it's of any importance. Then? What happened?
Larry: So I worked until I tired out and needed a break, and I went to the toilets in the park.
Kay: And on the way back, you got lost, huh? Where are the park's restrooms?
Gumshoe: Just one or two minutes away.
Kay: Eh? He got lost in that short of a distance?
Edgeworth: If it's Larry we're talking about, then it's very possible.
Larry: What the heck, man! How can you say that!? That hurts, you know! I even said earlier, it was dark and all these trees look the same, so it's hard to tell.
Gumshoe: Then, when you came back, the stand wasn't there anymore?
Larry: Yeah, uh wait, no. It was still there then. Yeah, it's how I knew where to get back to.
*ding*
Edgeworth: You returned to where you saw the stand?
Kay: So, when did the alien show up?
Larry: Right when I came back. Suddenly, I heard this weird, ghghghghgh, rumbling sound. When I turned to see what it was, the alien was already standing there!
*ding*
Edgeworth: A strange sound...?
Kay: What kind of alien was it!?
Larry: Uh, well... There was only a little backlighting, so I couldn't see it very clearly, just a shadow. It kinda had this black, slippery skin, and its eyes were freakishly big!
Gumshoe: Aah! I-I've seen that thing before too, pal! On TV!
Larry: And then, all of a sudden, my stand started floating and flew up into the sky! At that moment, I saw something glowing up there.
Gumshoe: W-was it sucked up by a UFO?
Edgeworth: UFOs don't exist.
Larry: Geez, Edgeworth, you're so hardheaded. By this time, if you don't have a grander cosmic sense, you're gonna be left behind an age.
Edgeworth: What "cosmic sense"? Are you suggesting such a transcendent lifeform with so much cosmic sense would steal a stand of hot dogs!?
Larry: Well, that's uh... one of those happenings beyond our control, right?
Edgeworth: Not to mention, if the thief rides in a UFO, retrieving it back would be impossible in the first place. No matter what, we can't do anything to fetch something that's been carried out to space. Now are you satisfied?
Larry: No, not really... But, I really did see it happen. Just like that... my stand went flying up toward the moon!
Kay: Toward the moon...? Oh, yeah, yesterday was a full moon, wasn't it?
Larry: Yeah, it was. My stand went flying toward that perfectly round moon. How the heck do you explain that!?
Edgeworth: Hmm... I don't have the answer to that yet. However, there must be some contradiction to it somewhere. What happened after that cart floated off?
Larry: Well... I didn't see that.
Edgeworth: You didn't see it?
Larry: After that, I kinda lost consciousness.
Gumshoe: It's only natural to faint after seeing an alien and its UFO.
Kay: The alien didn't do anything to you, did it?
Larry: Now that you mention it, my head's been hurting a bit since then.
Gumshoe: I saw that on TV before too! People who were captured by aliens all had their bodies planted with chips!
Kay: Then, Larry also had a chip planted in his head!? Hey, there's some kind of bulge on the back of his head...
*ding*
Edgeworth: The back of his head? Hmm... I see.
Larry: S-seriously!? Edgey, this is bad! I'm being manipulated! Hurry up and take it out!
Edgeworth: Settle down! Before we get to that, there's one thing I need to confirm.
Gumshoe: Did you pick up on something, sir?
Edgeworth: I'd like to check the weather report for last night.
Kay: Weather? Okay, I'll go check it!
Larry: But yesterday night was pretty clear. It wasn't raining, and you could see the stars.
Edgeworth: All the same, I'll need a copy of the official report. Detective Gumshoe, if there are any other witnesses, search them out.
Gumshoe: Yes, sir! I'll search 'em out, sir!
10:39
Kay: I've checked up on it! Mr. Edgeworth, the weather for this area last night was clear throughout. It was so clear that there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
Larry: See? Told ya.
Edgeworth: But that gives rise to a contradiction.
Kay: A contradiction? What kind of contradiction?
Edgeworth: That would be...
Gumshoe: Mr. Edgeworth, sir! I've found a suspicious man!
