Shinji Ikari quotes from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Shinji Ikari

I knew it! I’m not needed after all.

Shinji Ikari

I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away!

Shinji Ikari

Unfamiliar ceiling.

Shinji Ikari

It’s so desolate, the city seems so lonely.

Shinji Ikari

Position target in the center, pull the switch.

Shinji Ikari

Why am I piloting this thing again? Even though my fathers not here. Even though I was beaten.

Shinji Ikari

I’m the one who deserved to be hit! Not you! I’m a coward! I’m dishonest! I’m sneaky! And a wimp!

Shinji Ikari

What's wrong with running away from reality if it sucks?!

Shinji Ikari

You betrayed me! You betrayed the trust I placed in you! You betrayed me just like my father did!

Shinji

[after masturbating over Asuka's comatose body] I'm so fucked up.

Shinji Ikari

NERV?

Misato Katsuragi

Uh huh. It’s a secret organization controlled by the U.N.

Shinji Ikari

And that’s where my father works?

Misato Katsuragi

Well yeah. You do know what he does, don’t you?

Shinji Ikari

All my teachers told was that it was important to the future of mankind.

Shinji Ikari

NERV, my father's agency. Am I going to be working for him? Uh, what am I saying? He wouldn’t have sent me a letter unless he needed me for something.

Misato Katsuragi

Hmm, sounds like you don’t get along with your dad. Uh, you sound just like me.

Shinji Ikari

Oh! Awesome! It’s a real Geofront!

Misato Katsuragi

That’s right! This is our secret underground base, NERV central. This city is the key to rebuilding our world. A fortress for all mankind!

Ritsuko Akagi

So is this the boy?

Misato Katsuragi

Right, according to the Marduk report He’s the Third Child.

Ritsuko Akagi

Hmm, pleased to meet you.

Shinji Ikari

Uh, sure

Misato Katsuragi

I’m afraid that’s he’s just like his father. The gruff and unfriendly part that is.

Shinji Ikari

It’s a face! A giant robot!

Ritsuko Akagi

You won't find this in there.

Shinji Ikari

What?

Ritsuko Akagi

This is man's ultimate fighting machine the synthetic life form know as Evangelion, Unit 1. Built here in secret, it is mankind’s last hope.

Shinji Ikari

Is this my father's work?

Gendo Ikari

Correct. It’s been a while.

Shinji Ikari

Father…

Gendo Ikari

We’re moving out.

Misato Katsuragi

Moving out!? But Unit 0 is still in cryostasis! Huh! Wait a minute! You’re going to use Unit 1!?

Ritsuko Akagi

There’s no other way.

Misato Katsuragi

No wait. Rei can’t do it yet can she? We don’t have a pilot!

Ritsuko Akagi

We just received one.

Misato Katsuragi

You’re serious?

Ritsuko Akagi

Shinji Ikari, you will pilot it.

Misato Katsuragi

But even Rei Ayanami took 7 months to synchronize with her Eva. It’s impossible for him to do it! He just got here!

Ritsuko Akagi

He just has to sit in the seat. We don’t expect more than that.

Misato Katsuragi

B…. but.

Ritsuko Akagi

Listen, defeating that Angel is our ultimate priority, if we have someone that has a chance of synchronizing with an Eva then we’ve got to risk it. You do understand that, don’t you Captain Katsuragi?

Misato Katsuragi

Yes ma'am.
