TITLE EPISODE: 2 THE BEAST ___________________________________________________________________________ Shinji: I'm not familiar with this ceiling. ___________________________________________________________________________ SEELE-01: So the angels have returned? This is all too sudden. SEELE member(yellow): It's just like 15 years ago. Disaster strikes without any warning. SEELE member(red): It can be said that this is a blessing. This means all our investments are not going to waste. SEELE member(blue): Don't be so sure. If it's useless, it's still a waste. SEELE member(yellow): Indeed. The existence of the angels is beginning to become public knowledge. We must get this information out of the public eye. NERV must control what information gets out, both properly and quickly. Gendo: We have already dealt with that matter. Rest assured. ___________________________________________________________________________ TV: The government has made an announcement about yesterday's special emergency declaration this morning, they say... TV: In this incident... TV: The United Nations Forces in Japan... Misato: I see they went with scenario B-22? Misato: Once again, the facts are left in the dark. Ritsuko: The public relations department was ecstatic. They were happy they finally had something to do. Misato: It's surprising how they're being so optimistic. Ritsuko: I don't know. They must really scared, right? Misato: They must be... ___________________________________________________________________________ SEELE-01(?): Well, that's certainly true. SEELE member(green): Still, Ikari...can't you manage NERV and the EVAs a little better? SEELE member(yellow): After the cost of repairs for the prototype and Unit-01, the country will fall into ruin! SEELE member(red): I heard that you gave that toy to your son. SEELE member(blue): People, time, and money...How much will you and your son spend together before you are content? SEELE member(red): And this is not your only job. The Human Instrumentality Project is of the utmost importance. SEELE member(yellow): Correct. That project is our only hope in this desperate situation. SEELE-01: Even though the angels have returned, that is no reason to fall behind schedule. We will think about the budget. SEELE member(???): Then, the committee will do the rest. SEELE member(yellow): Ikari, thank you for your hard work. SEELE-01: Ikari, you can't go back. Gendo: I know. Humanity doesn't have much time. ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: I've always thought that air conditioning is the treasure of mankind. The pinnacle of science. Ritsuko: Shinji seems to have woke up. Misato: So, what's his condition? Ritsuko: No physical trauma. However, his memory is a bit jumbled up. Misato: No way, has his mind been contaminated by the angel? Ritsuko: That is of no concern. Misato: It's no wonder. Everything all got thrown at him at once. Ritsuko: It's not a surprise. It was a considerable burden on his cranial nerves. Misato: His mind is one thing, but how about his heart...? ___________________________________________________________________________ Operator: All right, all right! Operator: Alright, keep it coming! Misato: When the EVAs and the city are fully operational, we might have a chance. Ritsuko: You think we'll defeat the angels? You're as optimistic as ever. Misato: Oh, wishful thinking is a necessity for a good life. Ritsuko: ...that's right. Your positive outlook is helpful sometimes. Misato: Bye. ___________________________________________________________________________ Announcement: Please contact Dr. Ugai of Internal Medicine Department 1, Dr. Ugai, and Dr. Azuma of Surgery Department 1 as soon as possible. Announcement: A medical conference regarding Incident B will be held as planned. All attendees, to Conference Room 2. ___________________________________________________________________________ Ritsuko: Are they really not living together? Fuyutsuki: It's natural for members of the Ikari family to live alone. Ritsuko: So, for them, it's unnatural to be together... ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: All by himself? NERV staff: Correct. His quarters will be in a room in Block 6 nearby. Is that acceptable? Shinji: Yes, sir. Misato: Are you sure that's okay, Shinji? Shinji: It's okay, I actually prefer being alone. It doesn't make any difference to me. Misato:... ___________________________________________________________________________ Ritsuko: What did you say?! Misato: I said, I've decided to have Shinji live at my place. I've already gotten permission from top brass. Don't worry, I won't try any funny business with him. Ritsuko: Of course you wouldn't! What the hell are you thinking when you say these things?! You always have to be like this... Misato: Some people need to learn to take a joke... ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Well, we gotta party in style tonight! Shinji: What party? Misato: A welcoming party of course, for my new roommate. ___________________________________________________________________________ Housewife A: So you've really decided to move? Housewife B: Yeah. We never really thought this place would really become a battlefield. Housewife A: My husband told me I should evacuate, even if it's just me and the children. Housewife B: Evacuate... They keep saying this is a fortress city, yet we can't even count on it to keep us safe. Housewife A: Remember yesterday's incident? I'm horrified just thinking about it. ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: If you don't mind, we'll take a little detour before we go home. Shinji: Where to? Misato: Someplace very special. ___________________________________________________________________________ Shinji: Kind of a lonesome city, isn't it... Misato: It's time. Shinji: Amazing! Buildings are sprouting from the ground like trees! Misato: This is the fortress city dedicated to the defeat of the angels...Tokyo-3. This is our city. Misato: And the city you protected... (eyecatch thing) NEON GENESIS EVANGELION ___________________________________________________________________________ NEON GENESIS EVANGELION EPISODE:2 THE BEAST Misato: I think your stuff is already here, Shinji. Honestly, I myself just moved here the other day. Come on in! Shinji: Um...I'm sorry to bother you. Misato: ...Shinji, this is your home. Shinji: I'm home... Misato: Welcome home. ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Well, it's a little messy, but don't worry about it. Shinji: This is...a little messy? Misato: Oh, sorry Shinji, could you please put the groceries we bought in the fridge? Shinji: Oh, sure... Shinji: Ice... snacks...and all this beer. I wonder what kind of life she's living. Shinji: Um, what about the refrigerator over there? Misato: Oh, don't worry about it. I don't like to disturb people while they're sleeping. Shinji: Sleeping? ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Let's eat! Shinji: Let's. Misato: *drunk sounds* This is what makes life worth living! Misato: Why don't you eat? It's instant, but it's still pretty good. Shinji: Well, I'm just not used to this kind of meal... Misato: What?! Are you a picky eater? Shinji: Oh, no, oh, it's not... um... Misato: This is fun, isn't it? Eating with someone else like this. Shinji: Oh, oh, yes... Misato: Well, let's go! Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Oh, sorry Shinji! Okay, now all the chores have been divided up fairly! Shinji: Yes... Misato: Well, this is your home from now on, so you don't need to be so on edge all the time. Shinji: Oh, oh, yes... Misato: Yes, yes, yes, is that all you say? Grow a spine! Show some grit! Be a man for once! Shinji: Yes... Misato: Well, you can always just take a bath and wash away your troubles! As I like to say, it's the washing machine of life! ___________________________________________________________________________ Pen Pen: Wacacacacacacaca! Shinji: Aaugh! M-M-M-Ms. Misato! Misato: What? Shinji: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah? Misato: Oh, him? It's a hot spring penguin, a type of bird. Pen Pen: Quack. Shinji: A what? Misato: His name is Pen Pen. Another roommate. Misato: Well, why don't you cover up? Shinji: Ough! Misato: Maybe I'm overdoing it. He might see right through me... ___________________________________________________________________________ Shinji: (Misato Katsuragi...She's not a bad person.) Misato (flashback): It's the washing machine of life! Shinji: (But there are lots of bad memories I think of when I'm in the bath...) Shinji: (Father... Rei Ayanami...) ___________________________________________________________________________ Ritsuko: How is Rei? Gendo: ... Ritsuko: You went in the afternoon to visit her, didn't you? In the hospital. Gendo: She'll recover in around 20 days. By then, we need to get Unit-00 up and running. Ritsuko: It must be hard on the children. Gendo: There is no one else who can move the EVA. They'll keep piloting them as long as I live. Ritsuko: Regardless of their thoughts, right? ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Yes, he's been through a lot...I don't know if he'll want to pilot again. ___________________________________________________________________________ Ritsuko: He is under your care, correct? Misato: I'm scared, I really don't know how to handle this... Ritsuko: Are you whining already? Weren't you being so dramtic about taking him in earlier? Misato: Shut it! Misato: (At that time, I just viewed Shinji as a means to an end...I'm just like Ritsuko...) Misato: (He defeated the angel...so shouldn't I be happy?) ___________________________________________________________________________ Shinji: (Another ceiling I don't know...of course, there's nothing familiar in this city...) Misato (flashback): This is your home. Shinji: (I wonder why I'm here...) ___________________________________________________________________________ Shigeru: Skull damage, severity unknown! Operator: Operational stability compromised! Misato: What's the situation?! Maya: Synchrograph inverting, neural pulse flow reversing! Ritsuko: Block the circuit flow, block it now! Maya: I can't! The shutdown signal is being rejected! It's not getting through! Misato: How about Shinji? Makoto: No biometrics, status unknown! Shigeru: Unit-01 completely silent! Ritsuko: Misato! Misato: Abort operation! Safety of the pilot is the top priority! Force the entry plug out! Maya: No, my commands aren't getting through! Misato: What do you mean? Operator: The EVA has reactivated! Maya: Impossible! Misato: It's gone... Ritsuko: ...berserk?! Fuyutsuki: We've won. Ritsuko: An A.T. Field?! Misato: As long as that A.T. field is there... Ritsuko: ...we can't lay a finger on the angel! Shigeru: Left arm restored! Misato: Amazing... Maya: Unit-01 has also raised an A.T. field. Phase space of the angel's A.T. field being neutralized! Ritsuko: No, it's corroding it... Misato: It just tore through that A.T. field like it was nothing... Misato: It's self destructing?! Misato: What happened to the EVA...? Ritsuko: That's the EVA's... Misato: ...true nature... Shigeru: Circuits reconnected. Operator: System back online, all graph readings nominal. Makoto: Pilot life signs confirmed. Ritsuko: Recover Unit-01, quickly! Misato: Pilot rescue is the top priority! Shinji: Aaaauuuugh! ___________________________________________________________________________ Misato: Shinji... I'm coming in. Misato: I forgot to tell you one thing. You've done something admirable, that people will commend you for. You should be proud. Misato: Good night, Shinji. Misato: Keep up the good work.
