(And now to finish this. Supposedly, there's no guarantee whether or not a subject will remember having been hypnotized, but suggestions to remember or forget can significantly alter the odds. It seems as though in this case, it might almost be a guarantee...)
And that is all that will escape your memory... about your experience... since donning the headphones. ...Everything else that has happened... will be crisp and clear... and you'll find it easy... to describe and discuss it... with whomever you choose... once you've emerged from this state. ...Every thought, feeling, perception, belief, and impulse... that you've had since the headphones were placed on you... until the time you return to normal alertness... will easily be remembered... except the one piece you forgot... and when the related fact is returned to you... you will also remember that part... just as clearly.
[Edgeworth allows a moment to let that sink in, then continues.]
In a moment... I intend to turn off the headphones. ...When I do so... you will begin to awaken... as though from a long, refreshing nap. ...After that... I shall remove the headphones... and you will begin to grow aware of your surroundings. ...Finally, I will snap my fingers... and you'll immediately become alert... with clear memories of most of this experience... except the one detail you forgot... and you'll remember what doubt and objectivity and questions are... and how to use them.
(Quite frankly, given her behavior during this session, those last details seem rather necessary to spell out.)
[Those final instructions having been given, Edgeworth turns the walkie-talkie off, waits a few seconds, then turns the headphones off. After waiting several seconds more, the prosecutor carefully removes the inactive headphones from Kay's ears. He then carefully sets both objects back in their respective chargers, where they originally found them. Once he's satisfied, he returns to where he was standing before and snaps his fingers.]
