Hint 1: spoiler[This scene takes place in an american style restaurant.]

edit, and since the page has shifted, let me repost the quote:

Character A: In other words, nations collapse in either case. Even if you block one path to destruction, there comes another path to destruction.

Character B:That’s right I guess. Just as humans die, nations die in the end. The difference is whether they live a long or short time.


Hint 2: spoiler[The speaker (and those he's with) much later do in fact witness the collapse of their nation.]

Edit: just realized I messed up the tagging. Fixed. Sorry.

If anyone's curious, the answer was spoiler[Dusty Attenborough and Yang Wenli in Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Spiral Labyrinth, discussing the ramifications of the truth or falsehood of the supposed Bruce Ashby assassination plot.]

Hint 3 told me where it was from, but since I'm not all that familiar with the franchise I'd have been unable to name the speakers or context.

For rosebrook11's quote:

Addressee: spoiler[Lucy]
Context: spoiler[A rowdy day in the guild before Erza was introduced for the first time.]

IF right I pass.

I don't often pick up open turns, but since it's been nearly seven hours. . .

New quote, from the subs:

My friend [Character A] is dead. Remove the sexual harassment from [Character A] and there’s nothing left but a flea.”

Could this be spoiler[Hachikuji speaking to Araragi (character A) about how he decided to stop assaulting her? From Nisemonogatari]

Edit: almost forgot series name!

Eh... are you sure about that? Unless I'm somehow misreading his guess, it is correct.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/nisemonogatari/episode-6-karen-bee-part-6-589450

About 1:20 in is when the quote occurs.

In case I AM misreading his guess somehow, spoiler[That's Hachikuji from Nisemonogatari episode 6, speaking to Araragi, after he greeted her in a normal fashion instead of groping her.]

But I'm pretty certain tris8 got this.

Well, I did originally forget to add the series name. Maybe Key saw the guess without the series name?

No, when I saw that originally it said spoiler[Bakemonogatari]. I even checked it twice to make sure that I wasn't looking at it wrong. Perhaps Tris8 changed it while I was typing that response?

Regretfully I didn't quote the answer (as I normally do) so I can't prove this, but I am 100% certain that I am not wrong about this. However, since it does currently specify the correct series, then I'll go with it.
