Forgive me - I'm...not certain that I quite comprehend several of those fundraising options.

I can clarify some of them if you want, Mr. Edgeworth.

Indeed. What is this..."Pin-Up Calendar"? Do you mean a wall calendar?

That's right!

Ah. I've not heard that term used before. Very well. And a "Date Auction"?

Well, it'd be called a pin-up calendar because it has pin-ups, I guess?

A date auction... well, it's what it sounds like, I suppose. You auction off the chance to go on a date with someone-- have dinner with them, or spend the day with them. Something like that. [ Pause, remembering Re-l's misgivings-- ] Er, it's with the complete consent of the person being auctioned off, obviously, and the understanding that they can't be coerced into doing anything they don't want to.

Er. I don't know if that's a very...good idea.

You think so too, huh?

It sounds rather akin to prostitution.

Well, it's not like we'd be holding anyone at gunpoint to force them to do it...

Indeed, no, but nor are such illegal activities forced at gunpoint.

I guess I can count you as a "no" for the date auction, then?

It's not a matter of...I do not think it appropriate for anyone to engage in such acts.

I understand how you feel, Mr. Edgeworth, but it's not meant to be all that serious. People can pool money together to 'save' a friend, for example; or people could auction out a service instead of a date, like... baking cookies!

If it's any consolation, ummm, I'm sure Miss Mayer would outbid anyone else for you! [ THIS IS COMFORTING, RIGHT??? ]
