Oh what the heck.

spoiler[Goto in Patlabor 2: The Movie reacting in anger and frustration(?) when the JASDF is accused of bombing a bridge or something. He could be saying that it is too late to avoid being blamed. Meh.]


That's pretty much on spot for someone who has not seen the movie. spoiler[It's actually too late to avoid the terrorist's plot, which he foresees.] He's basically angry at his superiors being idiots.
Your turn!

Hmph, not a bad result for something I basically pulled out of my arse . . .

I confess I'm running out of quotes. I've used up all of the good ones recently. Yeah, I did have a huge stack to choose from, but most of them were actually too easy and have since been discarded (with one exception). I have exactly five quotes left. Here is one of them:



I want to have good friends, and I want to be a good friend to other people. But I don't want a good master or to be a good servant.



That isn't the entire speech, but the rest of it is worded in such a way that it would make it too easy.

Been more than 28 hours without even a guess. Time for a hint, perhaps?

Hint #1: spoiler[The speaker is informing his enemy as to why he (the speaker) cannot make peace with him (the enemy). The enemy's rejection of democratic ideals and insistence that everyone must bow to himself does not sit well with the speaker, and he (the speaker) refuses to be part of a system that he (the speaker) has fought against.]

Does that imply that spoiler[the speaker is male]? Because I'm thinking of something, but if my assumption is correct, my guess wouldn't be.

Edit: Oh, man. I'm quite sure that I know the show, but I will have to wait for a hint on the speaker. I even know the context, I believe, I just don't remember who says it (and it's obviously not the female I was thinking of).

The speaker is indeed male, yes. That's why I had to word the hint like that, to make sure readers knew which person I was referring to at any one time.

Well, this sounds suspiciously like a trap, but as I have no guesses otherwise, I'll bite. spoiler[Yang Wenli speaking to Reinhard something in Legend of the Galactic Heroes]?

Well, I believe that the time is up.

The quote was said by Admiral Bucock in Legend of the Galactic Heroes, spoiler[right before his ship gets split in twain.]

Picking up where we left off:

"She strips down anywhere, any time she gets excited? As expected from a foreign exchange student."

Edit: Do you mean hint number 1, or are there 2 hints somewhere I dont know about?

The only thing that comes to mind... Dont think it's right but lets give it a go.

I can't verify this right now, but I'm pretty sure that is..
spoiler[The anime: Wagaya no Oinarisama.
Who said it: Misaki Sakura
To whom: Kou
Context: Misaki is referring to Kuugen Tenko. This is from the episode where the three go to the all-you-can-eat cake buffet. Kuugen gets so excited that her fox ears pop out. Kou covers Misaki's eyes and tries to come up with an explanation, which Misaki - as usual - completely misinterprets.]

Furudanuki is correct. Sorry, I did number the hint incorrectly.
