boring conversation anyway literally a phone call bit
and as i said, it works because he has characterization, they didn’t pull it in his introductory scene

define this ‘kind’ of banter in such a way that it includes the first episode 7 quip, but not any of the other ones we’re fine with. my whole thesis is that irony, sarcasm, lampshading etc. are things that can be done well and people just don’t like when they don’t land :edgeworth-shrug: and who likes a joke when it isn’t funny? ascribing anything deeper to it doesn’t work when we can find dozens of beloved similar lines and occurrences with the chief difference being they work!
