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

Geez! Being beaten up must have really messed him up.
Oh shut up!
But he’s only 14 years old. Making him bear the burden of the future of mankind seems so cruel.
But we have to use 14 year old children to pilot the Eva’s.
I know. But..
So has he called or made contact? …Nothing?
Nnnuunn. Nothing. I don’t think he is going to come back this time.
What will you do?
Nothing. It’s better for him if he doesn't come back.
But why?
Because of what happened after the last battle.
Why did you ignore my orders!?
I apologize.
I’m the one who’s in charge of your operations aren’t I?
Yes.
You do know you’re supposed to obey my orders, understand?
Yes.
I’m warning you! Do not do it again!
Yes.
Hey! Are you even listening to anything I’m even saying?!
Yes.
Oh no you don’t! You’re not gnna get out of this by just saying “yes” to everything I say!
I know Ms. Misato. We won didn’t we? Isn’t that enough?
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!
You know I just don’t care anymore.
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!
Ugh, that’s not the point. Anyway I’m the only one who could pilot it. I’ll just have to do.
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.
Toji was real sorry about everything. His kid sister really tore him a new one. She said it was the robot that saved her life. That must be pretty embarrassing, getting yourself chewed out by a second grader. Right?
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!
You really shouldn’t you know? Your mother would probably be worried.
Huh? Oh, don’t worry about my mother. I don’t have one of those.
Oh.
I’m no different from you.
Only an idiot fights when he knows he can’t win. Balls have nothing to do with it.
Long time no see
Yeah.
Do you feel any better after wandering around for 2 days?
I don’t know.
The Eva is on standby will you pilot it? Or wont you?
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?
I suppose that Rei would do it. You wont pilot it?
It seems a little bit unrealistic for you to force everything on her. Don’t worry I’ll pilot it.
But you don’t want to do it.
Of course not. It’s not something that comes to me naturally. But Ayanami and you and Mrs. Ritsuko…
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!
Uh! I can’t do that!
You gotta unless I won't be satisfied!
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!?
But I…
Hurry up! You don’t have much time do you!?
Okay… but only once.
Right! Come on! …. Hey wait! Don’t hold back.
Of course if you’re leaving, we’ll have to leave this city sometime soon. But we can’t really blame you for that. I mean… We saw how much you suffered in the Eva. And anyway… if anyone does try to blame you… I’m gonna give 'em a wop on the head!
I’m the one who deserved to be hit! Not you! I’m a coward! I’m dishonest! I’m sneaky! And a wimp!
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.
