[Too much embarrassment...

Phoenix scratches at his head uncertainly.]

I sure hope there weren't any valuable clues in there! But we can't turn back now. We'll have to find something else in this environment that could help us.

[gerte]

We haven't checked the ocean yet, fool. [ Meaning they probably should. So much for that castle. ]

Perhaps it might be time for a swim. Personally, I can't wait to get rid of the sand stuck in my hair.

[bewrightback]

[Phoenix looks skeptically towards the water.]

I don't know. I want to wash all this sand off as much as anyone... but is it really the best choice?

[gerte]

No, it's not. That much should be obvious, fool.

[ Her whip flies across the beach and aims directly for Phoenix's head. ]

[bewrightback]

Ack!

[It's a direct hit! Phoenix winces and rubs at his head as he tries to regain his bearings.]

Th-then... what do we do?

[gerte]

Do you see that whale in the distance?

We'll strike it down. Surely, that will accomplish more for us. [ That poor whale....what did it ever do to you Franziska! ]

[bewrightback]

[...]

...You want to fight... a whale?

[...I don't feel as surprised as I thought I should.]

[gerte]

Of course.

Do you have a problem with that? Or do you think we can't do it?

[ Franziska's not turning back..welp. She seems confident they can beat it? This is going to end badly either way. ]

[bewrightback]

To be honest? ...I'm not very confident about our chances...

[gerte]

And you call yourself a man? [ Unacceptable! ]

Fool! You better be thankful that I'm around. My whip is the only thing we need take that whale down.

[bewrightback]

B-but... man or not, I'm petty sure an entire whale's out of anyone's class! C-can't we find another way? [But it sounds like her whip's really determined...]

[gerte]

Do you see another way?

For one thing, I don't. If defeating the whale is the key out then so be it! [ SHE WILL KILL IT!! Franziska, you're a prosecutor not a whale killer. Chill. ]

[bewrightback]

Well... no, I don't. If you really think that's the only way... [He figures he should at least tag along play lifeguard should things go awry.]

[gerte]

Yes, I think so. Let's get to it, fool.

[ Without further delay Franziska gets ready to whip the whale as much as she can. A familiar whipping noise can be heard nearby. Hopefully Phoenix is far away from whip range. ]

[bewrightback]

R-right!

[He's staying out of whip range alright! And really he's mostly trying to only stay close enough to try to pull her back if things get dicey.]

[gerte]

[ Bro, the whale isn't budging a bit. Franziska isn't giving up her whipping assault. Slowly but surely, she's getting tired.

It doesn't take very long for her to stop completely. ]

That whale has some nerve! Resisting my attacks.

I propose that we feed you to it, Phoenix Wright.

[ Another bad idea, geez. ]

[bewrightback]

...You're not serious, right?! How would that even work to begin with?!

[gerte]

I'm quite serious.

You would make an excellent bait! All we have to do is devise a plan so that it'll consume you immediately.

[bewrightback]

Objection! I- I'm all for helping you, but that's crossing a line! ...There has to be another way!

[gerte]

Hmph, you aren't willing to go along with my perfect plan.

So what did you have in mind then? Tell me fool.

[bewrightback]

[More like a perfect sacrifice!]

Well... um... I don't know...

Maybe... we could try to circle around it! And get up on its back? Maybe that will help us find a better solution!

[gerte]

That's a foolish idea.

You can try it if you wish. How do you intend to circle it without it noticing you ?

[ IT'S TOTALLY GOING TO NOTICE! ]

[bewrightback]

Um... by being careful? I mean, it at least feels like a better idea than just letting it eat me!

[gerte]

Then try it. I'll be here to watch you fail foolishly.

Well, go on then Phoenix Wright. Do what you wish.

[bewrightback]

Right! Well, wish me luck?

[Phoenix hesitantly enters the water and tries to swim around the whale.

...Except that the whale has opened its mouth and started sucking in the water in front of it. Phoenix frantically tries to paddle against this new current! But it's not looking good.]
