- Queen of the Sargasso Sea: Where we live, men have started building dikes. Every night my husband tears them down again. I don't even remember what it's like to have a good sleep.
- Little Mermaid's elder sister: The other day I got caught in some fishermen's net. Of course, I had to drown them. I couldn't allow them to touch me, could I?

- King of All Seas: They think we look like fish!

- Captain: You look very pale. You shouldn't have sailed with us. That's not for women. If I told you what my divers have seen in the ocean, you would certainly be horrified. Giant snakes with two heads. And many octopusses that break a man's bones and suck out his blood!
