Shinji Ikari quotes from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Shinji Ikari

Why did you send for me?

Gendo Ikari

You know why I sent for you.

Shinji Ikari

So you’re asking me to take this thing and go out there and fight?!

Gendo Ikari

Correct.

Shinji Ikari

How could you do this to me!? I thought you didn’t want me! Why! Why did you have to call me now father?!

Gendo Ikari

Because I have a use for you.

Shinji Ikari

But why? Why me?

Gendo Ikari

Because there is no one else who can.

Shinji Ikari

No I can’t! I’ve never even seen anything like this before! There’s no way I can do this!

Gendo Ikari

You will be instructed.

Shinji Ikari

But still! There’s no way! I can’t pilot that thing!

Gendo Ikari

If you’re going to do it, do it now! If not then leave!

Ritsuko Akagi

Shinji we don’t have much time!

Misato Katsuragi

Get inside.

Shinji Ikari

This is all wrong. I came all this way! Uh why did I come!?

Misato Katsuragi

Why Shinji? Exactly why did you come here? You mustn’t run away, you must confront your father, and you must confront yourself!

Shinji Ikari

I know that! But… I just…. Can’t!

Misato Katsuragi

He’ll be living alone?

That’s right. His room will be on the 6th block beyond this one. Is that alight?

Shinji Ikari

Yes sir.

Misato Katsuragi

Shinji, are you sure about that?

Shinji Ikari

Living alone is fine with me. I’m alone anyway.

Misato Katsuragi

Hey, come in.

Shinji Ikari

Uh, I don’t want to intrude.

Misato Katsuragi

Shinji, this is your home now.

Shinji Ikari

I’m… I’m home.

Misato Katsuragi

Welcome home.

Misato Katsuragi

Um, as you can see the place is just a little bit messy but uh go ahead and make yourself comfortable.

Shinji Ikari

This is a little messy?!

Misato Katsuragi

Oh, sorry could you put the food in the fridge please?

Shinji Ikari

Uh, yes mam. Ice, snacks and 50 gallons of beer! What kind of life does she lead?

Misato Katsuragi

This is your home so feel free to take advantage of everything that’s here, except of course of me that is.

Shinji Ikari

Uh, yes mam

Misato Katsuragi

Ugh, yes, yes, yes. Is that all you can say?! It’s getting one my nerve! You’re a boy act like one!

Shinji Ikari

Yes mam!

Misato Katsuragi

Hmm, I guess that’s just the way you are. Why don’t you take a bath? Yeah! Wash away your troubles. Bathing cleans the mind and soul.

Shinji Ikari

Wah! M-m-m-Miss Misato!

Misato Katsuragi

What?

Shinji Ikari

A Pe… A P-Peh… Uh P-P…. ...huh!?

Misato Katsuragi

Oh, yup! He's one of those new warm water penguins. [Pen-Pen enters his cold apartment after looking at Shinji]

Shinji Ikari

That was... That was a wha-w-what!?

Misato Katsuragi

His name's Pen-Pen. He's your other roommate. [takes beer can] Ummm… Why don't you cover up?

Shinji Ikari

Uh? [notices that he's naked] Oh!

Misato Katsuragi

I guess I should be nicer but... he’s probably already made up his mind about me.

Shinji Ikari

Misato Katsuragi, she’s not a bad person.

Bathing cleans the mind and soul.

Shinji Ikari

But bad memories always seem to find me in the bath. Like my father, and that girl Rei.

Sorry newcomer, but I had to clobber you. I had to pop you one to work off my own anger.

Kensuke Aida

He’s mean huh? His little sister was injured the last time you and your robot fought a battle. Well that’s his excuse anyway.

Shinji Ikari

I didn’t have a choice! They made me pilot the stupid thing!

Misato Katsuragi

Why did you ignore my orders!?

Shinji Ikari

I apologize.

Misato Katsuragi

I’m the one who’s in charge of your operations aren’t I?

Shinji Ikari

Yes.

Misato Katsuragi

You do know you’re supposed to obey my orders, understand?

Shinji Ikari

Yes.

Misato Katsuragi

I’m warning you! Do not do it again!

Shinji Ikari

Yes.

Misato Katsuragi

Hey! Are you even listening to anything I’m even saying?!

Shinji Ikari

Yes.

Misato Katsuragi

Oh no you don’t! You’re not gnna get out of this by just saying “yes” to everything I say!

Shinji Ikari

I know Ms. Misato. We won didn’t we? Isn’t that enough?

Misato Katsuragi

Urgh! You know it may seem easy going along with whatever anyone else wants, but if you get into an Eva with that attitude it’ll kill you!

Shinji Ikari

You know I just don’t care anymore.

Misato Katsuragi

It’d be nice if I could say you’ve got the right attitude. But if you think you’re going to get any praise out of me, you’re wrong Shinji!

Shinji Ikari

Ugh, that’s not the point. Anyway I’m the only one who could pilot it. I’ll just have to do.

Kensuke Aida

I really envy you. I mean you live with such a beautiful woman and you get to pilot the Evangelion. Oh man! I wish I could get inside that lovely cockpit just once!

Shinji Ikari

You really shouldn’t you know? Your mother would probably be worried.

Kensuke Aida

Huh? Oh, don’t worry about my mother. I don’t have one of those.

Shinji Ikari

Oh.

Kensuke Aida

I’m no different from you.

Misato Katsuragi

Long time no see

Shinji Ikari

Yeah.

Misato Katsuragi

Do you feel any better after wandering around for 2 days?

Shinji Ikari

I don’t know.

Misato Katsuragi

The Eva is on standby will you pilot it? Or wont you?

Shinji Ikari

You’re not going to scold me for running away? Of course you’re not I’m not relation to you am I? If I say that I won’t pilot Unit 1, what are you going to do?

Misato Katsuragi

I suppose that Rei would do it. You wont pilot it?

Shinji Ikari

It seems a little bit unrealistic for you to force everything on her. Don’t worry I’ll pilot it.

Misato Katsuragi

But you don’t want to do it.

Shinji Ikari

Of course not. It’s not something that comes to me naturally. But Ayanami and you and Mrs. Ritsuko…

Misato Katsuragi

Stop that line of crap! This has nothing to do with any of us! If you don’t like it get out of here! Just forget all about Eva and us and go back where you came from! We don’t need someone with that attitude piloting! Ugh!

Ikari look, I’m sorry about hitting you twice. Please, you gotta hit me back!

Shinji Ikari

Uh! I can’t do that!

You gotta unless I won't be satisfied!

Kensuke Aida

He’s a pretty embarrassing guy isn’t he? But if it’ll put an end to this dispute why don’t you go ahead and hit him!?

Shinji Ikari

But I…

Hurry up! You don’t have much time do you!?

Shinji Ikari

Okay… but only once.

Right! Come on! …. Hey wait! Don’t hold back.

Hey, big shot! What are you staring at so intently?"

Shinji Ikari

Um, nothing!

Kensuke Aida

He's ogling Rei!

Shinji Ikari

I… I… I am not!

Kensuke Aida

Ah, come on! We saw you looking!

Yeah, at Rei's mammaries! Rei's silky thighs!

Kensuke Aida

Yeah!

Her calves! Her...

[in unison]...naughty bits!

Shinji Ikari

Uh, look it’s nothing like that!

Kensuke Aida

Then just what were you looking at?

Can’t fool us Shinji.

Shinji Ikari

I was just wondering why she’s always alone.

Huh? Uh, come to think of it she hasn’t had any friends since she started here in the 7th Grade.

Kensuke Aida

There’s just something about her that makes her hard to talk to. Like she’s in her own world.

She’s probably just got a lousy personality.

Kensuke Aida

You two are both Eva pilots right? You ought of know her better than any of us Shinji. You know what I mean?

Yeah. That’s right.

Shinji Ikari

I suppose, but we don’t talk.

Shinji Ikari

I just find it strange I know so little about her even though were both Eva pilots.

Ritsuko Akagi

She’s a nice girl. But she’s like your father, she’s not very adept at…

Shinji Ikari

She’s not very adept at what?

Ritsuko Akagi

Living I guess.
