Heartwarming moments from the 2012 film.
- While defending Edgeworth near the end, the case takes a turn that makes it look like a not guilty verdict will be impossible. In the midst of freaking out, trying to get his head together, Phoenix still assures Edgeworth "Don't worry! As your defense attorney, I'll believe in you until the end." It's especially sweet when compared to the Robert Hammond scene, where he flat-out ignores any possibility that Yogi was innocent.
- After winning Edgeworth's trial, Phoenix says that he thinks he'll take Yogi as his next client. High time Yanni Yogi had a good defense attorney.
- In the scene after Edgeworth's trial is over, we just see Phoenix, Edgeworth, and Maya quietly sitting in the empty court room. Maya worries that her mother did get the channeling of Edgeworth's father wrong, but Edgeworth assures her that Misty did everything perfectly. His father's spirit was the one who lied. Phoenix then adds that since the last thing Gregory Edgeworth saw before dying was Miles point the gun, he no doubt lied to protect him.
- The last scene before the credits roll is Maya, Edgeworth, Phoenix and Larry out in the street, when Maya asks a question: Who was the real culprit of the classroom trial?. Fans of the games would know, but Larry stole Edgeworth's money to pay for something he wanted at the time in the movie. The end conversation is hilarious and heartwarming in that even if they're all 24 years old, when in each other's company they can act like kids.Larry: Well, I was a thousand yen short, and I really wanted it at the time...Maya: What?Edgeworth: What?!Phoenix: Are you serious?! You stole it?! Why did I study Law then!?Larry: Oh come on, Nick...it was 15 years ago...isn't there a Statue of Literation or something on that?Phoenix: Come on, my foot! *starts chasing Larry around* When's the Statute of Limitations on our friendship?!
- The scene that plays during the credits, where Edgeworth and Phoenix meet for their next trial. As they look at each other before going into the courtroom, Edgeworth gives a small smile, which Phoenix returns. Aw!
