This one I'm not 100% on but I think the kid is saying, "Nanda kono sa wa?" = "This difference, what is it?" (I think the kid is jealous because he is young but not in the way Joe is.) Like I said, I'm not sure about this translation. |

Oh, honey, you gotta think like a woman. I think there's an additional meaning here on top of what you guys have already explained. Or maybe I'm just more blunt. 
"The difference, what is it?"
That's easy. He's asking what the difference is between the size of the fish and JOE, if you know what (and where) I mean. Rhetorically. That is, there is no difference. And that's a big fish!
I think there's also a backwards crack at Ken, since the kid looks like a little Ken. (Get it? A little Ken?)
We'd better hide this from Amy...

LOL! I thought of the fish symbolism but quickly forgot it as I concentrated on the language instead. But you are right, you have to look at the whole picture and I think the kid is Ken who is expressing his thoughts about his inadequacies (and I don't mean just the size of his danseeki). Basically it is Ken wondering out loud why Joe has more "sex appeal" than he does.
On a technical side of things... men can use 'wa' at the end of a sentence to emphasis one's thoughts (basically it is the same as using 'yo' at the end of the sentence).
