Cellphone

The cellphone is an option that only appears in the beginning of Escaping the Prison in a fork. If the players choose the cellphone, the "Lawyered Up/Lame Ending" will start.

Role
The Cellphone is one of six items that Henry can choose from in the first choice screen in Escaping the Prison, and one of only 3 out of these 6 objects that actually work for him. It arrives in a large cake at the start of the game.

When chosen, Henry will use the phone to call Felix White. This leads to a court case that can, if done properly, result in the "Lawyered Up" ending.

Henry's cell phone contacts are divided in more than 7 categories: Family, Friends, Co-Workers, Attorneys, Morticians, Babysitters, and Banks. Other than lawyers, it is unknown who the other people are, but it indicates that Henry might have a family and something to do with babies. It is also possible that this is not Henry's phone, but a phone from the CCC who sent him the mysterious package with a cake.

Transcript
Judge Hubert Brown: Witness, please continue your testimony.

Winston Davis: Okay. I was riding alongside My Partner but generally spotted a bag on the side of the road. Got out and eventually decided to throw the bag in with the others. We didn't know there was someone hiding in there-

Felix White: Objection! So the defendant crawled into that bag in order to break into the bank. Is that correct?

Vladimir VonBraun: Is it not obvious?

Felix White: Is it really that obvious? I have proof that the defendant didn't hide in that bag.

Judge Hubert Brown: Well then, what are you waiting for? Present this evidence already.

 [Evidence screen pops up] 

[If any option except the Disguising bag is chosen]

Felix White: Take that!

Judge Hubert Brown: What is this?

Felix White: It's evidence.

Judge Hubert Brown: And..how exactly does this prove anything?

Felix White: Well I was just kidding let me-

Judge Hubert Brown: Enough! This is no time for jokes! I have no reason to further prolong this trial. I find the defendant Henry Stickmin...

 Guilty 

[Fail screen pops up.(What kind of third-rate lawyer did you hire?)]

[If the Disguising bag is chosen]

Felix White: Take that!

Judge Hubert Brown: Is..Is this the bag the defendant hid in?

Felix White: Yes, but there's one thing that's been bothering me. If the defendant really was hiding in this bag then, how did he tie the knot from the outside of the bag!

Vladimir VonBraun: What?

Felix White: If he was inside the bag it would be impossible for him to tie that knot on the outside.

Judge Hubert Brown: Then...How did he do it?!

Felix White: It's simple. He didn't.

Vladimir VonBraun: Hwah?! What are you saying?

Felix White: I'm saying my client wasn't hiding in that bag at all! He was stuffed in there! By this very witness!

Winston Davis: Whaaaa?

Felix White: As you can see by this doctor's analysis the defendant had taken quite the beating. While he was in the bag, he was unconscious!

Vladimir VonBraun: Huh! This is absurd!

Felix White: The witness was attempting to dispose of the body. He left the defendant in the bag knowing he'd drive by on the way back to the bank. When the witness and the partner passed the bag, he convinced his partner to throw the bag in with the others.

Judge Hubert Brown: But-but why would he do that?

Felix White: Why, to dispose of the body of course. There were millions of bags of money in that bank and the witness knew it would take a long time before the victim was found. But unfortunately for the witness, his victim woke up and tried to escape from his tomb. He was arrested on the spot and the witness thought everything was over. But it's coming back to haunt him now.

Winston Davis: You ca-you-ca-i-ca-no it ca-...THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TO MEEEEE!!!!!!

Judge Hubert Brown: Well, that certainly was an interesting trial. However I am now ready to deliver my verdict. I find the defendant Henry Stickmin-

Trivia
