You seem to have forgotten with whom you are speaking.

My point exactly

I saw an opportunity to help you get along with your housemate

and took it

You've done the opposite of that. Things will only be worse now. And they were quite bad before.

Lighten up Edgeworth. It'll be good for them to see you as human

They don't respect me as-is. I don't think I can ever go back there now. I have been considering finding my own place to live, so that is fine; but I will not be able to retrieve my things.

I can retrieve them for you if you prefer.

[ although that means he and Light will be in the same vicinity again.... ]

[Hrnngh PHOENIX STOP RUINING EVERYTHING]

I'm not moving out. You're completely missing the point.

If I'm missing the point, then so are you.

The point is that it is difficult enough getting along with these teenagers. And you've made it so that I will never earn respect.

MY point is that you should take the word of someone who's lived with teenagers before.

Trucy doesn't count. There's never been any child better behaved than her, once you stop being troubled by her magic underwear. She could not be further from either of those two.

( You're not the one who had to bail her out of detention after pulling Mr. Hat out at school made someone cry. )

They're teenagers, Edgeworth, not suspects to scare into submission.

Frankly, I'd sooner be dealing with a murder suspect. You at least know what to expect. These two are utterly irrational.

[ finally he asks the burning question... ]

Why HAVEN'T you moved out?

[Hrngh. He gives a half-truth:]

Outside what I can afford at the moment.

... Really.

I'm putting money away to support others. I can't take on frivolous costs.

Then it might be a good investment to get along with your housemates before they vote to have you kicked off the island.

[ when the first thing a man's housemate does upon meeting his friend is to complain... ]

This is a peninsula, not an island; moreover, they've no say over my movements.

[That went over his head.]

[ you can practically hear the sigh in his first text: ] You know a TV isn't just for decoration.

Anyway that's my final word on it. Try to play nice before my tongue slips about the time you objected to something on the basis of it being objectionable. ;)

I don't think you want to start that war, Wright. I have more ammunition against you than you have against me.

[But he's troubled by the part he left out, and so finally he just admits it:]

I worry about the two of them.

[ leave it to Miles Edgeworth to show his concern by antagonizing said person. ]

How are they adjusting?

Badly. Yagami is restless and reckless. Violet shows a marked tendency towards depression and self-destruction. Neither of them have been away from their parents before, and it quite shows.

What about your other housemates? You can't be the only adult in the house.

One is a man-child and the other could not care less about the goings-on.
