[A familiar drawl surfaces on the network later in the afternoon. There's a little bit of interference however, because some even more familiar cursing can be heard at the start of the clip]
Daggum-blasted, shoddy hunk of crowbait...!

[Regardless, have a little salute! She's in a good mood today.]
Happy Fourth, Jake. What's up, cowpoke? [AND AS FOR SOMETHING ACTUALLY USEFUL...] You're probably gonna get more than decent information out of Ripley's victims. I wouldn't be any help, I never met her in my life, but it gives me a reason not to go gambling any time soon.

[He gives her a bit of a grin.] Nothin' too strenuous, just kickin' back on my day off, havin' me a little moonshine and lookin' forward to that fireworks display that one guy's plannin' all by himself.
I got as much as I could from miss Re-l but I figgered there'd be more people than just her. So that's why I sent out the all call to the network.
... heh. All this gamblin' talk is remindin' me of a Johnny Cash song.

You actually have moonshine? [That gets her laughing in a good-natured sort of way.] Yeah, didn't that... cape-guy say he'd do that?
I know it happened to Edgeworth. You know him, right?
Aww, Jake, you got a Johnny Cash soul?

Yeah, I know 'im. Better send him a line soon. Thanks, Ro.
Johnny's my man. He's been one of my favorites since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

An' it's not like I'm drunk or nothin'. Just a little whiskey to unwind.

Unfortunately I do not have any information on...this Miss Riley Ripley, otherwise I would gladly assist. But you're assisting Miss Re-l with Augustus Boyce, the former...Doctor?
Pardon me for asking...I've heard a great deal of the celebrations of Independence that go on..[He's English, how could he not?]But I couldn't help but notice...You're an American, if I'm not mistaken. Are you from Texas?

Well ain't that just a shame.
Yep, that's me. Been helpin' her track 'im down. He's been a mighty slippery outlaw to get ahold of, let me tell you.
[Jake gives a bit of a chuckle at his last question.] Naw, I ain't from Texas. Was born and raised in California, but my family's from deep in the heart of Texas.

I'm sorry. The asylum business has been keeping my hands tied, unfortunately.
[He's still tracking one patient in particular. She'd been spotted recently, but she was so ordinary that it could've been a mistake.]
I can imagine. Please do look after her...Miss Re-l, I mean.
I apologize for jumping to conclusions but your accent is remarkably Texan for someone who originated from California...How interesting.
[A family trait?]
I'm from London, myself.

[Dr. Seward can't see it over the NV, but Jake nods.] You bet I will. Mighty fine gal, she is. Reckon we could use more like her 'round these parts anyhow.
[His voice sounds slightly more amused, now.] As I said, family's from deep in the heart of Texas. My pa moved to California with my ma, and took the drawl with 'em. Been exposed to it since I was just a lil' shaver.
I figgered that much out, from yer voice.
