Ayanami! Are you all right? Ayanami! …Don’t ever say that! Just don’t say that you have nothing else! Just don’t say that! And don’t say goodbye when you leave for a mission, it’s just too sad. [sobs quietly]
[starting up Eva Unit 02]LCL Einlass. Anfang der Bewegung, bestätigt. Anfang des Nervenanschlusses, bestätigt. Anfang nächster die Herzmonitor, bestätigt. Synchro-start, nun!["Input LCL. Start sequence: nerve connection, confirmed; heart monitor, confirmed. Start synchronisation!"]
[A message displays indicating that synchronisation has failed.]
You are extremely afraid of any kind of initial contact aren’t you? Are you that afraid of other people? I know that by keeping others at a distance you avoid a betrayal of your trust, for while you may not be hurt that way, you mustn’t forget that you must endure the loneliness. Man cannot erase this sadness, because all men are fundamentally alone.
Okay. You know pain is something man must endure in his heart, and since the heart feels pain so easily some believe life is pain. You are delicate like glass, especially your heart.
So much has happened since I came here. Before this I lived with my teacher. It was calm and boring in those days. I wasn’t really doing anything, but I was fine with that. There was really nothing I had to do.
The Eva series was born from Adam, born from man's antithesis. And yet the Lilim will utilize that which they hate most in order to survive. I do not understand.
Your Evas and I are composed of the same matter. Born from Adam, I can synchronize with it easily as long as there is no dominate soul. And Unit 02’s soul is now hiding itself. Thus Eva 02 is mine!
Yes; at least, this is what you Lilim call this thing. This is the light of my soul, a sacred territory in which no one may intrude. Aren’t you Lilim even aware yet, that your so-called A.T. Field is merely that wall that encloses every mind that exists?
Adam, that from which we came. Must one who was born from Adam return to Adam, even though it would destroy man? But wait… This isn’t… Lilith?! I see! I understand now! The Lilim, Lilith!
It is my destiny to live forever, though my survival will bring final destruction to the human race. However, it is possible for me to be killed, and whether I live or die makes no great difference. In truth, death may be the only absolute freedom there is.

What are you.. Kaworu, I don't understand what you are talking about, Kaworu..
This is my wish: please, destroy me. Otherwise, you will be destroyed. Only one life-form can be chosen to evade the destruction and seize the future! And you are not the existence which should die. You need the future; it is what you live for! Thank you Shinji, my life was meaningful because of you.
Kaworu said he loved me. I’ve never heard such kindness before. He was like me. And he was like Ayanami. I liked him, too. Kaworu should have survived. He was much better than I am. Kaworu should have survived, not me! He deserved to live.
No. The one who deserves to survive is the one who has the will to make it happen. He wished for death. He ignored his will to survive and chose to die for a false hope. Your survival is not a mistake, Shinji.
