Ryouji: Shinji-kun? Shinji: Kaji-san. What are you doing in a place like this? Ryouji: That's my line. What are you doing, Shinji-kun? Shinji: I, I won't pilot EVA any more. Since I decided that... Ryouji: Uh-huh? Since my part-time job has gone public, I lost my position in the battle shift. Since then, I've been watering here. Shinji: At a time like this? Ryouji: Because it's a time like this. Though I'd rather be in Katusragi's breasts, I'd like to be here when I die. Shinji: Die? Ryouji: Right. They say that when an Angel comes into contact with Adam, which is sleeping underground here, all humanity will be annihilated. That will be Third Impact. It can only be stopped by Evangelion, which has the same power as an Angel. Shinji: Ayanami! Without a rifle! Rei: uhg! Ritsuko: Does she want to blow herself up? Gendou: Rei! Rei: AT field, full power! Shinji: Ugh, guhh. Makoto: Huh, Unit Zero! Misato: Rei! Ritsuko: What has she done....? Shinji: Hh, Huhh... Ryouji: Shinji-kun, I can do nothing but water here. But for you, I bet there is something which YOU can do and only you can do. Nobody is forcing you. Think for yourself and decide by yourself ... what you should do now. Well, I hope you have you no regrets. Male operator: Direct hit to the third foundation. Makoto: Final armor plate fused. Misato: It's no good. The main shaft is exposed. Ritsuko: Isn't Unit One ready yet? Male operator: Dummy plug refused. Male operator: It failed. No response. Gendou: Carry on. Once more, try it again from one-zero-eight. Shinji: Let me pilot it! Please, let me pilot Unit One! Father... Gendou: Why are you here? Shinji: Ngh, I, I am the pilot of Evangelion Unit One, Ikari Shinji!
