Megumi Ogata: Shinji Ikari
Quotes
-
Shinji Ikari : I'm so fucked up.
-
Shinji Ikari : No-one understands me.
Rei Ayanami : You never understood anything.
Shinji Ikari : I thought this was supposed to be a world without pain and without uncertainty.
Rei Ayanami : That's because you thought that everyone else felt the same as you do.
Shinji Ikari : You betrayed me! You betrayed my feelings!
Rei Ayanami : You misunderstood from the very beginning. You just believed what you wanted to believe.
Shinji Ikari : Nobody wants me, so they can all just die.
Rei Ayanami : Then what is your hand for?
Shinji Ikari : Nobody cares whether I live or die. Nothing will change... so they can all just die...
Rei Ayanami : Then what is your heart for?
Shinji Ikari : It would be better if I never existed. I should just die too.
Rei Ayanami : Then why are you here?
Shinji Ikari : Is it OK for me to be here?
[the word "Silence" flashes on the screen and fades away]
Shinji Ikari : NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo!

Misato Katsuragi : You hate yourself, don't you? That's why you hurt others. Deep down you know you suffer more when you cause someone else pain... than if you just let yourself get hurt. But Shinji, that was your decision, so it makes it a valid choice. That's what you wanted. So, that makes it worthwhile. Stop lying to yourself and realize that you *do* have options. Then... accept the choices you've made.
Shinji Ikari : But you're not me! You don't know what I have to go through! You don't understand!
Misato Katsuragi : [enraged] So fucking what if I'm not you! That doesn't mean it's okay for you to give up! If you do, I'll *never* forgive you as long as I live!

Shinji Ikari : I wanna stay with you, Asuka... and I want to help you, but I don't know what to do.
Asuka Langly Soryu : Then don't do anything. Don't come near me. All you ever do is hurt me.
Shinji Ikari : Asuka, help me! Please! Asuka, you're the only person that can help me!
Asuka Langly Soryu : Liar.
Shinji Ikari : Asuka...
Asuka Langly Soryu : Anyone will do. You don't care who it is! You're afraid of Misato, and the First Child... you're afraid of your mother and father, too! So now you come running to me...
Shinji Ikari : No, I need you to help me...
Asuka Langly Soryu : [talking over Shinji] - because that's the easiest way to keep from getting hurt! You never even loved yourself! You're all you have and you never even learned to like yourself!
[pushes Shinji down]
Asuka Langly Soryu : Pathetic.
Shinji Ikari : [getting back up] Help me. Somebody... please, help me. Help me. Help me... somebody... please help me. Somebody, HELP ME! Don't leave me alone! Don't abandon me! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!
Asuka Langly Soryu : No.
[Shinji doesn't respond. Then, he suddenly reaches out and strangles Asuka]

Misato Katsuragi : The power's still on. There's still time. Shinji, listen to me... from now on, you're on your own. You'll have to make your own decisions. No one can do it for you.
Shinji Ikari : I... I can't. I'm no good. I can't pilot EVA if all I do is hurt and kill people. I thought I had no choice but to pilot EVA, but I was just lying to myself. I'm not worthy of piloting an EVA, because I don't understand anything. I'm incapable of doing anything good for anybody else! I did something terrible, though. I killed Kaworu! I'm a horrible person. I'm dishonest, and a coward. All I ever do is hurt people. So I'd rather do nothing at all!
Misato Katsuragi : I'm not gonna feel sorry for you. If you don't like feeling pain, then you can just sit here and let them kill you! Crying isn't going to solve anything either!
-
Misato Katsuragi : Giving up halfway is worse than never trying at all. Come on! Get up! MOVE IT!
Shinji Ikari : I want to die. Just leave me here.
Misato Katsuragi : Stop talking like a stubborn little brat! Like it or not, you're still alive. Get moving and DO something! You can die later!
-
Asuka Langly Soryu : You don't understand anything. You just stay away from me.
Shinji Ikari : I do understand.
Asuka Langly Soryu : You couldn't possibly - you jerk! You really think you can ever know me? You think you can even help me? Don't make me laugh! You're such a moron! You will never understand!
Shinji Ikari : How can I ever understand you if you won't say anything? You never talk to me, but you expect me to understand you! That's IMPOSSIBLE!
-
Shinji Ikari : Goodbye... Mother.
