Neon Genesis Evangelion Quotes

[Misato's on the phone with Ritsuko]

Misato Katsuragi: So, I said, I'll take care of Shinji. I've already got permission from the brass. Hey, it's not like I'm going to put the moves on him.

Ritsuko Akagi: [Yelling into Misato's ear] Of course you're not! How could you even think of such a thing? You're always like that, shame on you!

Misato Katsuragi: She just can't take a joke.

Ritsuko Akagi: So, how was Rei today?

[Gendou does not answer]

Ritsuko Akagi: You DID see her at the hospital this afternoon, didn't you?

Gendô Ikari: She will be ready to work again in twenty days. By then, we'll be ready to reactivate Unit 00 from cryo-stasis.

Ritsuko Akagi: It's so hard on these poor children.

Ritsuko Akagi: With no regard to what they might want?

Toji Suzuhara: Oh yeah? Well here's your change!

[He undoes his trousers and exposes himself to Asuka]

Rei Ayanami: [to Shinji] You're the jerk who was staring at my panties!

Asuka Langley Soryu: Hey, you were the one who was flashing them!

Rei Ayanami: Why are you defending him? Are you riding his baloney pony?

Asuka Langley Soryu: [sweatdrops] WHAT? We're just really good childhood friends!

Makoto Hyûga: You look pretty worn to the bone, Major Katsuragi.

Misato Katsuragi: I have reasons for being worn. Private ones.

Ritsuko Akagi: Kaji's bone?

Misato Katsuragi: SHUT YOUR FACE!

[EVA-02 will not start because Shinji is in the cockpit with Asuka]

Asuka Langley Sôryû: It's mental static! I told you, if you HAVE to think, think in German!

Shinji Ikari: Are you asleep yet, Mr. Kaji?

Ryôji Kaji: No, not yet.

Shinji Ikari: What kind of person is my father?

Ryôji Kaji: Well, that question is a surprise. I thought you were going to talk about Katsuragi.

Shinji Ikari: It seems you're always with him.

Ryôji Kaji: The deputy commander is the one with him all the time. Have you been asking around about your father?

Shinji Ikari: I haven't been with him for a long time...

Ryôji Kaji: So, you don't know.

Shinji Ikari: But I have learned many things about my father recently. About his work, my mother...

Ryôji Kaji: No, you're wrong. You just think you understood. Well, that's why people try to know each other. That's why life is interesting.

Shinji Ikari: So, you can't really understand Misato either?

Ryôji Kaji: The Kanji we use for the word "she" a woman far away. To us men, women will always appear to be on the shore across. It means there is a river deeper and wider than the ocean that divides men and women.

Shinji Ikari: I can't understand grown-ups.

Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Sôryû: [answer their apartment door wearing matching dancing outfits, part of training to work as a synchronized pair. Speak in unison] It's Misato's idea! She's got us eating, brushing, and sleeping together!

Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Sôryû: *It's not like that!*

Asuka Langley Sôryû: It's time to get up, you dork!

[pulls off blanket]

Asuka Langley Sôryû: Ach! You stupid pervert! I didn't need to get *that* up!

Shinji Ikari: I can't help it! It's morning!

Asuka Langley Soryu: It's about time you got up, idiot!

Shinji Ikari: [yawning] Oh, it's you Asuka.

Asuka Langley Soryu: What the hell does that mean? Cant' you appreciate that I went to the trouble of waking you up PERSONALLY? I don't hear any words of appreciation for your oldest childhood friend.

Shinji Ikari: Thanks. Now let me sleep a little more.

Asuka Langley Soryu: Hurry up!

Shinji Ikari: Jeez, you're such a pain in the ass. Is that what happens when you start your period?

Asuka Langley Soryu: WHAT? What did you say?

[she slaps him]

Shinji Ikari: [naked] Misato! There's a...

Misato Katsuragi: Oh, him? His name's pen pen. He's just another lodger.
