— This is all my fault. Bringing you along to watch me was a mistake. How often have I warned you about humans? Their very breath is polluted. Come, you must eat. Can't you hear me, Brunhilde?
— I want ham!
— H-Ham?! What on earth have you been doing? Answer me, Brunhilde!
— My name's not Brunhilde. It's Ponyo.
— P — Po — Ponyo?
— Ponyo loves Sousuke. I want to be human!
— Human? How could you love such disgusting creatures? They rob the sea of life. I was human myself... once. I finally escaped that awful heritage...
— I want hands! I don't like this! I want legs like Sousuke!
