S1 E15Unfinished Business

Mountain. Heavy are the mountains, something that changes through the ages. Sky. Blue sky. Something visible, something invisible. Sun. Something unique. Water. Something agreeable. Commander Ikari. Flowers. Many of them alike, many of them useless. Sky. Red, red sky. Red color. Red color that I hate. Water flow. Blood. The smell of blood. A woman that does not bleed. Made from the red soil are humans. Made by Man and Woman are humans. Town. Something that humans made. Eva. Something that humans made. Humans are what? Something that God made. Humans are things which humans made. The things I possess are my life and mind. The vessel of a mind. Entry plug, the throne of a soul.

Who is this? This is me. Who am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I?

I am myself. This object is me, the figure which forms me. This is the me that is visible, though it feels as if this is not me.

Man survives by forgetting his memories, but there are some things a man should never forget. Yui taught me about the irreplaceable things. I come here to confirm that.

Then, here I go. Don't breathe, because it tickles. [They kiss until Shinji gasps for breath, then a disgusted Asuka runs off to gargle] Definitely not something to do to kill time!

LLeliel

Will you spend your life regurgitating and re-digesting those few pleasant moments?

If I trust their words, it’s enough to keep me alive.

LLeliel

Even though you’re deceiving yourself?

Everybody does it! That’s how everyone survives.

LLeliel

If you will not believe that you can change yourself, you will be unable to continue.

This world is filled with too much pain and suffering to keep going.

LLeliel

For example, you can’t swim?

Humans aren’t made to float!

LLeliel

That’s self-deception.

I don’t care what you want to call it!

LLeliel

You’ve been shutting your eyes to that which you wished to avoid.

[Flashes of painful moments]

No, I don’t want to hear this!

LLeliel

See? You’re running from reality again. No one can justify life by linking happy moments into a rosary. In particular, I cannot.

I’ve found something I can do to feel good. Something I want to do! What’s wrong with that?!

[crying after supposedly killing Toji] Miss Misato, I... I killed... It was my father... I begged him to stop, but...

Shinji, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

So you're running away again? You disappoint me. I doubt we'll ever meet again.

Yes. That's my intent.

RRyoji

Shinji, the only thing I can do is stand here and water. But you, you have something that you can do. That only you can do. Nobody is forcing you. Think for yourself, and make the decision by yourself. Think about what you ought to do now. You know, so you don't have any regrets.

[Shinji is hallucinating in Eva-01]

[naked, smiling at and motioning towards Shinji] Tell me Shinji. Do you want to become one with me? To be of one mind and body? It could be very, very nice. Ask me anytime, I'm ready.

[naked, smiling at and motioning towards Shinji] Hey Shinji, idiot. Don't you want to be one with me? To be of one mind and body? It would be really awesome. You oughta' appreciate your good fortune, come on.

[naked, smiling at and motioning towards Shinji] Do you want to become one with me? To be of one mind and body? It could be very pleasant. Shinji.

Do you want to become one with me?

To be of one mind and body and soul?

It could be very pleasant.

MAMisato, Asuka, and Rei

Relax and release your soul.

CKChairman Keel

Discovery may be joy, but knowledge is power.

I won't take a bath in the same water that Misato and stupid Shinji have used... And I won't use a washer that Misato and Shinji the dork have used, for washing underwear... And I don't want to use a toilet that's been used, not by the two of them... I don't even want to breathe the same air they do, not the two of them. I hate Misato, and I hate Shinji, and I hate that First Child bitch Rei! I hate my dad, I hate my mom! But mostly, most of all, I hate myself! I hate this! I can't stand it anymore! Why do I have to do this! Why me?!

[Voice-over overlaying repeated footage of a door opening, followed by the German words for phrases such as "insanity", "strangled", "No!", "death", "suicide", "hatred", and "shame"]

Please look at me, I'm begging you, mama! Just don't stop being my mother!

[Asuka's mother, Kyoko, repeatedly giggles as she holds a doll she believes is Asuka in her arms]

KSKyoko Soryu

Asuka? Come to heaven with me.

Mama? No, mama, please don't kill me! No, I'm not mama's doll, I'll think for myself and I'll live for myself!

[Voice-over overlaying a doll hanging from a noose]

KKyoko

Please, Asuka, die with me.

If that's what you want, I'll die with you, mama. Just don't stop being my mama! Mama! Mama!

KKyoko

Mama? Who are you?

[repeatedly, quoting previous episodes]

A1Asuka #1

I'm Asuka! Asuka Langley Soryu! Charmed, huh?

A2Asuka #2

What are you, stupid?

A3Asuka #3

And now's my chance!

A4Asuka #4

[ripping her blouse open] Look at me, dammit, look at me!

[A sound effect of glass breaking]

No, none of this is the real me!
