- Ryôji Kaji: Shinji, the only thing I can do is stand here and water. But you, you have something you can do. That only you can do. Nobody is forcing you. Think for yourself and make that decision by yourself. Think about what you have to do now. Think about no longer having any regrets.
- Gendô Ikari: So, you're running away again. You disappoint me. I assume we will never meet again.
- Shinji Ikari: Yes. That's my intent.
