Maya: Looks like Detective Gumshoe isn't here.
Chief: Something wrong, miss? Hmm? Turning yourself in? Okay, what did you do? Shoplifting? Larceny? Public indecency...?
Maya: N-no! None of those things! We're looking for Detective Gumshoe... is he around?
Chief: Gumshoe? Oh yeah. He's in a meeting right now. I don't think he'll be out any time soon.
(Y/N): Ah. Darn.
Maya: Okay, we'll come back.
Chief: You do that. Oh, and go straight home and stay out of trouble. No more shoplifting, you got that?

Maya: I wish I could wear a suit too...!

Phoenix: I see. So that's your reason for staying an assistant.
(Y/N): Well, yeah. I want to be able to help anyone, anytime. Did you think the paycheck was what drew me to the job?
Phoenix: ...
(Y/N): (Whoops. Shouldn't have said that!) A-anyway...
