Misato Katsuragi quotes from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Misato Katsuragi

This city is a fortress designed to stand against the angels. This is Tokyo3, this is our city and it’s the city that you saved.

Misato Katsuragi

Shinji, can I come in? I forgot to tell you something. You did something very good and very noble today. You should be proud. Goodnight Shinji. Hang in there.

Misato Katsuragi

If getting into the Eva means nothing but pain to him, I don’t think he should pilot again. Ugh, otherwise he’ll be killed.

Misato Katsuragi

The hedgehog’s dilemma, the closer we become the more deeply we hurt. Now I understand. I finally understand he can’t let others know how he feels in any other way.

Misato Katsuragi

Nothing draws attention like evasive action.

Misato Katsuragi

Never underestimate the ability of the human animal to adapt to it’s environment.

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.

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

Man, air conditioning is the greatest thing. Man's triumph over nature.

Ritsuko Akagi

Shinji’s finally woken up!

Misato Katsuragi

And... how is he?

Ritsuko Akagi

Well his memory seems a bit muddled bu-

Misato Katsuragi

You don’t think it could be contamination do you!?

Ritsuko Akagi

I don’t think we should worry.

Misato Katsuragi

Really? ...You’re right he did have a pretty hectic day.

Ritsuko Akagi

Poor little kid his cerebellum must have taken a lot of stress.

Misato Katsuragi

Cerebellum? Don’t you mean his heart?

Misato Katsuragi

If Eva and this city both operate at their full potential we might make it through this.

Ritsuko Akagi

You’re such an optimist.

Misato Katsuragi

Hey, Sometimes you need a little wishful thinking to keep on living.

Ritsuko Akagi

I see your point. It’s nice to hear a positive attitude. I’ll see you later

Misato Katsuragi

Okay., see ya.

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.
