Howl: Sophie! You, you sabotaged me! Look! Look at what you've done to my hair! Look! 
Old Sophie: What a pretty color. 
Howl: It's hideous! You completely ruined my magic potions in the bathroom! 
Old Sophie: I just organized things, Howl. Nothing's ruined. 
Howl: Wrong! Wrong! I specifically ordered you not to get carried away! 
[tragically] 
Howl: Now I'm repulsive. 
[slumps into a chair] 
Howl: I can't live like this. 
[starts sobbing, head in hands] 
Old Sophie: Come on, it's not that bad. 
[Howl's hair changes color to purple, then black] 
Old Sophie: You should look at it now, its shade is even better. 
Howl: [inconsolable] I give up. I see not point in living if I can't be beautiful.
