Shinji: Uhm, where is Asuka?
Misato: She's gone already. She really mean to avoid me.
Shinji: Why?
Misato: Shin-chan, it seems women's hearts are still too hard to understand.
Shinji &Misato: Uhm... & By the way,
Misato: Go ahead.
Shinji: Is the rumor of Unit 4 being lost was true?
I heard there was an accident and Unit 4 was brown up.
Misato:That was true. Unit 4 is gone with the NERF 2nd Branch. During the
test of S2 Engine.
We are OK here. All three units are working OK. Both the pilots and
the staffs are excellent, too.
Shinji: But I heard Unit 3 is coming from U.S.. The activation test will
take place at Matsushiro, right?
Misato: Mmmm, I'll leave the house for about 4days, but don't warry since
Kaji will take care of you guys.
Shinji: But how about the test?
Misato: Since Ritsuko will be there too, there won't be any trouble.
Shinji: But how about the pilot?
Misato: Well, about that pilot...
Doorbell
Shinji: Huh? Coming!
Kensuke: Good morning, madam. Today, I came here to make a request to
Major Katsuragi.
Please make me the pilot for the Evangelion Unit 3.
Misato: What?
------------------
EPISODE 18: THE JUDGEMENT OF THE LIFE
------------------
Ritsuko: So, Shinji don't know about it yet?
Misato: I just can't find a chance to say that. I'm afraid since I can't
figure out what he is thinking about.
Ritsuko: Come on, you are the one who wanted to be his gurdian.
Misato: Yea, I know... So, when the pilot will be called?
Ritsuko: It's gonna be tommorow since there are some preparations to be made.
Misato: He may tell about it by himself.
Ritsuko: That's impossible. He was not happy enough to brag around.
The condition he made was to transfer his little sister to the
head quater's medical unit.
------------------
Kensuke: Misato is cold, really. Since I am most willing, why don't they use
me even as back up.
Touji: Huh? Oh yea.
Shinji: What's wrong. You left home much earlier than me but you are pretty
late.
Touji: Oh, no marital quarrel today?
Asuka: I just didn't want to see your faces! You Three Stooges!
------------------
Kensuke: Now for the lunch. Huh? Where is Touji?
Shinji: I can't see him anywhere.
Kensuke: Gone? Without eating lunch? That's impossible.
Shinji: Yes, he is acting weird recently.
------------------
Rei: Suzuhara-kun,
Touji: Huh? Oh, it's you, Ayanami. If you are looking for Shinji, he
isn't here.
You know about me. Souryu seems to know about it, too.
Rei: Yes.
Touji: Shinji is the only one who doesn't know.
It is really rare of you to warry about the others.
Rei: Really? I really can't understand.
Touji: You are warried about Shinji.
Rei: Really? May be that's true.
Touji: Yap.
------------------
Asuka: Hikari! Let's eat lunch.
------------------
Misato: Late for two hours, and at last, he is here.
He is the first guy to make me wait this long.
Ritsuko:When you were dating, you just left without waiting, right?
------------------
Teacher: Therefore, it was the incident generally known as the Second Impact.
I was living at Nebukawa at the time, but now, it is under the sea
because Antarctic's ice was melted and sea level has risen.
------------------
Touji: I'm sorry, new kid. I have to hit you. I have to hit you for the
sake of my satisfaciton.
------------------
Hikari: I'm sorry, Asuka. You are always with Ikari on the way home.
Asuka: Don't warry, I'm with Shinji as duty, and I'm not in the mood to see
his face, too.
About Suzuhara, right?
Hikari: Yes. Can you tell?
Asuka: It's so easy to see that. Only those Three Stooges cannot see.
Hikari: But Ikari-kun seems naive.
Asuka: That one is the dullest. Also an idiot. He does not know how to go
around with the others.
Hikari: Really.
Ayanami-san can be the girl Suzuhara likes.
Asuka: Suzuhara likes that teacher's pet?
Hikari: They were getting along well at lunch time.
Asuka: That girl knows how to get along with people ten thousandth as
well as Shinji.
Hikari: Really?
Asuka: Really!
May I ask a question?
Hikari: What?
Asuka: Why do you like that hot headed idiot?
Hikari: He is kind.
Asuka: What?
------------------
Woman(On TV): Oh, making up with you then was the mistake!
Man(On TV): Don't tell me that now...
Shinji: Well...
Asuka: Mr.Kaji takes long time to bath.
Shinji: Who will pilot the Unit 3?
Asuka: What? You haven't heard about it yet?
Shinji: Who?
Asuka: I don't know.
Ryouji: That was a good hot bath. Huh? Bickering again? Can't belive it.
Are you two are like this whenever Katsuragi is gone?
Asuka: No! I want to smile pretty since you are staying with me for tonight.
But not today. I cannot smile!
Ryouji: I understand. Let's sleep. Hitting the bed is the best solution
in the situation like this.
------------------
Shinji: Are you asleep already, Mr.Kaji?
Ryouji: No, not yet.
Shinji: What kind of person my father is?
Ryouji: Well, I'm surprised with that question. I thought you are going to
talk about Katsuragi.
Shinji: It seems you are always with him.
Ryouji: The dupty commander is the one with him all the time. Are you asking
around about your father?
Shinji: I wasn't with him for a long time...
Ryouji: So,you don't know.
Shinji: But I understood many things about my father recently. About his
job, about my mother. So,...
Ryouji: That is wrong. You just feel like you understood. Well, that is why
people try to know each other. That's why the life is interesting.
Shinji: Is that fit with your relationships with Misato, too?
Ryouji: Kanojo(she, girlfriend in Japanese) in Kanji means a woman far way.
For us, women existing on the shore across. It means there is a river
wider and deeper than ocean between men and women.
Shinji: I cannot understand the grown-ups.
