"Katsuragi , it's me." "I'm sure you're listening to this message, especially after I caused you so much trouble." "Sorry." "Please tell Ritsuko I'm sorry too." "Oh , there's one more thing ." "I've been growing some watermelons." "I'd appreciate it if you could water them for me." "Shinji knows where they are." "Katsuragi , the truth is with you ." "Don't hesitate, move ahead !" "If I ever see you again ," "I'll say the words I couldn't say eight years ago." "Bye." "Another phone that will never ring ." "M isato is shutting herself up." "Asuka's not coming back, is she?" "She doesn't go to school , doesn't go home." "She does nothing but play video games." "Hikari?" "Hikari?" "I want to go to bed ." "I'm sorry." "I'm causing you a lot of trouble." "No, not at all ." "I lost." "I'll never pilot an Eva again ." "Now, it's not worth living ." "I hate this." "I hate everyone." "I hate everything ." "But most of all , I hate myself." "I don't find value in my life anymore." "I think you could do anything you want, and I wouldn't say a thing ." "You did your best, Asuka." "So, you haven't see her?" "Yeah , I think so too." "The cat has come to the end of her life." "Don't cry, G randma." "Yes, I'll come home as soon as I can ." "It's been three years since I visited my mom's grave." "I'll call you ." "Well , I'll talk to you later." "So, the cat died ." "It's impossible to recover the Lance of Longinus." "Why did you use it?" "Are you aware that we do not have enough of the Eva series yet?" "Destroying Angels is our top priority." "This is the fact we have to face." "Is that it?" "You should come up with a better excuse." "You're disrespectful to the committee these days." "Fuyutsuki , we're in the middle of deliberations." "I understand ." "There is an Angel approaching ." "Let us adjourn for now." "Your seat will be waiting for you ." "Will I kari betray SEELE?" "I'll be there in fifteen minutes." "Sortie Unit 00 through the 32nd ." "Deploy Unit 02 as backup." "Yes, the Commander will direct Unit 01 ." "I don't have the authority to release it." "Later." "The Angel is sighted ." "Unit 00 launched ." "Deploying to interception point." "Hold Unit 02 at its current position ." "No, launch it." "Commander?" "!" "Go ahead ." "It can be used as a decoy." "Yes, Sir." "Eva Unit 02, preparing for launch ." "I'm in this thing again ." "How irresolute I am ." "Send Unit 02 to Gate Eight." "As soon as a location is designated , we'll launch ." "I'm just a deadweight for you , right?" "Target's approaching and is past the Gora Final I nterception Line." "Whatever, doesn't matter." "Target is rotating in the air over Owakidani ." "Target's AT Field is active." "What were you doing?" "I'm sorry." "Status report!" "We're at a stalemate." "The pattern is periodically changing from Blue to Orange." "What does that mean?" "The MAG I are still working on the answer." "There is insufficient information for them to derive an answer." "The only thing we know is that this shape is not its only form ." "We'll have to wait and see." "Rei , you have to stay ready." "No, it's coming ." "Rei , fight back!" "No, it's too late!" "Target has made physical contact with Unit 00!" "What about Unit 00's AT Field?" "It's active, but it's being eroded !" "Is the Angel trying to make first contact with Unit 00?" "This is deadly!" "Unit 00's biological parts are corroding ." "Eva Unit 02 launch !" "Back Rei up and save her!" "Target is eroding Unit 00." "This could be fatal ." "Asuka, advance 300 meters, spread your AT Field to maximum , and fire the Palette G un into the target's rear." "You got it?" "Eva Unit 02, lift off!" "Go ahead !" "Asuka, what are you doing?" "Status?" "!" "Status?" "!" "Asuka!" "It won't go." "It just won't go." "She'll just be destroyed ." "Retrieve!" "Hurry!" "Who is this?" "Who is this?" "Myself in Eva?" "No, I sense someone other than myself." "Who are you?" "Angel?" "A man whom we call an Angel?" "Why don't we become one?" "No, I am me." "Not you ." "Okay, but it's too late." "Let me share my heart with you ." "Let me share this feeling with you ." "Doesn't this hurt?" "Doesn't your heart hurt?" "Pain?" "No, not pain ." "Loneliness?" "Yes, I'm lonely." "Loneliness?" "I don't understand it." "You don't want to be by yourself, correct?" "We are many, but you are alone." "You hate it, don't you?" "That is loneliness." "That is your soul ." "That is your soul filled with sorrow." "Is this a tear?" "Am I the one who is crying?" "Rei !" "Remove restraints from Unit 01 , and sortie it immediately." "Sortie it." "Yes, Sir!" "Am I so worthless to you?" "You didn't do this for me." "Spread your AT Field ." "Rescue Rei immediately." "Yes!" "I kari?" "!" "Does my soul want to become one with I kari?" "No!" "AT Field has been reversed !" "It will be corroded immediately." "Is she going to hold the Angel?" "Rei , abandon Unit 00!" "Evacuate!" "No, I can't do it." "I must stay to keep the AT Field in effect." "Therefore, I won't retreat." "Rei , are you going to kill yourself?" "The core will be destroyed !" "Critical pressure exceeded !" "The target is destroyed ." "This operation is officially over." "Go to First Stage Alert." "Roger!" "Changing to status yellow immediately." "What is Unit 00's status?" "The entry plug was not ejected ." "Rescue the pilot as soon as possible." "If she's still alive." "Doctor Akagi ..." "Keep this top secret." "Retrieve the plug and destroy all the parts." "Roger." "Let's go!" "Hurry up!" "We have destroyed the 1 6th Angel ." "There's only one left according to SEELE's Dead Sea Scrolls." "The promised day is near." "The way has been long and our losses are significant." "Right, we lost the Lance of Longinus, now we've lost Unit 00." "This is sufficient to remove I kari ." "I thought he'd be smart enough to understand our intentions in releasing Fuyutsuki ." "We have to find another pawn to use against I kari ." "One who knows the facts." "Shinji , can I come in?" "M isato, I don't have any tears." "I feel sadness, but the tears won't come." "Shinji ..." "This is all I can do for you right now." "No, don't!" "Cut it out, M isato!" "I'm sorry." "I'm sure he's feeling lonely." "Is he afraid of women?" "No, he's just afraid of affection in general ." "Pen Pen , come on ." "Okay, I just want anybody." "I'm the one who's lonely." "Yes, hello." "What did you say?" "!" "Shinji !" "Ayanami !" "I'm glad you're alive, Ayanami !" "My dad isn't here?" "Thank you for saving my life." "What?" "Well , you sacrificed Unit 00 to save me." "I see, so did I save you?" "Don't you remember?" "No, I don't know the facts." "Probably because I'm the third one." "Is this a tear?" "I'm seeing this for the first time, but it feels familiar." "Am I crying?" "Why am I crying?" "That's right, status quo for the First Child ." "No restrictions are necessary." "This applies to the Second and Third as well ." "Just watch them ." "But the fact that Rei's alive could cause trouble with Chairman Keel ." "I have given an alternative to SEELE's old men ." "Don't worry about it." "We'd like to carry this out calmly." "We do not want to disgrace you ." "I feel no disgrace." "What a strong woman ." "I can see why I kari wants to keep her next to him ." "But, the one who sent you here is none other than I kari himself." "He refused to let us question the pilot of Unit 00 and sent you as a substitute, Doctor Akagi ." "I'm Rei's substitute, am I?" "This is a part of the truth you wanted to know." "I have sent you the same thing thirty-six different ways, but most of those probably won't reach you ." "I suspect only this capsule will reach you ." "This is my everything ." "Do with it as you will ." "The pass code is our first memory." "Bye, take care." "I quit worrying about the phone that will never ring , because I have accepted your heart." "Are you sure about releasing Doctor Akagi?" "She isn't like Fuyutsuki ." "It will be beneficial to release her." "A woman of importance to the Eva project," "let her be of use to us for a while." "Correct, for the future of mankind ." "There were to be eight Evangelions constructed ." "So, there are four more to go." "The disappearance of Tokyo-3 is a good reason to proceed quickly with the project." "The promised day shall arrive on the day the Eva series is complete." "Yes, hello." "Listen ." "I've released your restraint." "You can come out now." "Ritsuko?" "It's no use without my password ." "I see." "Did Kaji do this?" "I will see the secret with my own eyes." "Okay, but with him too." "I agree." "This is just like Ayanami's room ." "This IS Rei Ayanami's room ." "It's where she grew up." "This is?" "This is?" "The light and water that define the depths of her mind come from impressions of this place." "Doctor Akagi , I didn't come just to see this." "I know, M isato." "An Eva?" "An Eva?" "But it was a failure." "It was discarded ten years ago." "An Eva graveyard ..." "It's just a trashcan ." "This is also where your mother disappeared ." "You may not remember it, but you were watching when your mother disappeared ." "Ritsuko!" "Is this the source of the dummy plug?" "Let me show you the truth ." "Rei Ayanami?" "I mpossible!" "Eva's dummy plug is..." "Right, this is the production factory for the core of the dummy plug ." "This is?" "These are all dummies." "They are also replacement parts for Rei ." "Man found God , and they tried to pick him up." "For that Man was punished !" "That was fifteen years ago, and the God they found disappeared ." "Then Man tried to resurrect God with his own hands, and created Adam ." "From Adam , Man created what resembles God , Himself." "That is Eva!" "So, are they human?" "Yes, they are human ." "We put supposedly mindless human souls in Eva." "All the souls were salvaged souls." "Rei is the only container that can hold the souls." "The souls are born only in Rei ." "The Room of G uaf is empty." "These are empty containers." "They have no souls." "So, I want to destroy them because I hate them ." "Do you know what the hell you're doing?" "!" "Yes, I do." "I'm destroying them ." "They're not men ." "They are things with human form ." "But I lost to these dolls!" "I couldn't win him !" "I could stand any humiliation for him ." "I don't care how wretched I become!" "But... buthe chose...hechose..." "I knew this, but..." "I'm an idiot!" "Both the mother and the daughter are idiots!" "Kill me if you want to." "I'd rather die." "That will not release you from agony." "The tragedy of the Eva Project is its people." "But I am one of them too." "The city is gone, his friends have left, and a boy smiles at the heartbroken Shinji ." "The boy's breeze-like, embracing smile enchants Shinji ." "However, a cruel destiny has been preordained ."
