What do you think you're doing, boy?
Prince Ashitaka
Stay your hand. The girl's life is now mine.
[San viciously bites Ashitaka's arm, but he feels no pain from her bite] [mockingly]
I'm sure she'll make a lovely wife for you.
There's a demon inside of you. It's inside both of you.
[San's bite reveals the curse, causing her to recoil in horror and the mob around them to gasp in shock]
Look, everyone! This is what hatred looks like! This is what it does when it catches hold of you! It's eating me alive, and very soon now it will kill me! Fear and anger only make it grow faster!
[annoyed]
I'm getting a little bored of this curse of yours, Ashitaka. Let me just cut the damn thing OFF!
[Eboshi tries to cut off Ashitaka's arm, but he dodges her and hits her hard in the stomach with the handle of his sword, knocking her unconscious. He then does the same thing to San knocking her unconscious and breaking up the fight]
