Top 50 Quotes From Shinseiki Evangelion

Asuka: Hurry up!
Shinji: Jeez, you're such a pain in the ass. Is that what happens when you start your period?
Asuka: WHAT? What did you say?
[she slaps him]

[EVA-02 will not start because Shinji is in the cockpit with Asuka]
Asuka: It's mental static! I told you, if you HAVE to think, think in German!

Ritsuko: What did you say?
Misato: You heard me! I said I'll be taking Shinji home to live at my place okay? It's already been approved. And don't worry I'm not gonna be making any passes at him.
Ritsuko: Of course you're not! How could you think of such a thing! You've got no shame at all!
Misato: Some people don't have any sense of humor... .

Misato: Miracles are only worth a damn when you make them happen yourself.

Rei: Man fears the darkness, and so he scrapes away at the edges of it with fire.

Rei: Mountains. Heavy are the mountains. But that changes with the passage of time. Sky. Blue sky. What your eyes can't see. What your eyes can see. The sun. One, only one. Water. It is agreeable. Commander Ikari. Flowers. So many the same. So many without purpose. Sky. Sky of red. Red the color, the color I hate. Liquid flows, it drips, ripples, and pours. Blood, scent of blood, woman who does not bleed. From the red soil the humans come. Humans made by man and woman. City, a human creation. Eva, a human creation as well. What are humans? Are they creations of God? Humans, that which is created by humans. This is that which is mine. My life, my heart. I am a vessel for my thoughts. The entry plug, the throne of the soul. Who is this? This is me. Who am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? I am I. This object that is, is myself, that which forms is me. This is the self that can be seen, and yet this is not like that which is myself. A strange feeling. My body feels as if it is melting. I can no longer see myself. My form, my shape fades from view. Awareness dawns of someone who is not me. Who is here? There? Beyond me, here? Shinji? This person I know, Major Katsuragi. Dr. Akagi. People, my classmates. The pilot of Unit Two. Commander Ikari? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

Kaworu: Humans constantly feel pain in their hearts. Because the heart is so sensitive to pain, humans also feel that to live is to suffer. You're so delicate, like glass, especially your heart.
Shinji: Me?
Kaworu: Yes, and you have my regard for it.
Shinji: Regard?
Kaworu: In other words, I love you.

Makoto: You look pretty worn to the bone, Major Katsuragi.
Misato: I have reasons for being worn. Private ones.
Ritsuko: Kaji's bone?
Misato: SHUT YOUR FACE!

Kaworu: This is mankind's fate. The thread of human hope is spun with the flax of sorrow.

Shinji: I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away.

[last lines]
Shinji: Kaworu-kun said that he loved me. It was... it was the first time someone told me they loved me. He was like me, and Ayanami. I loved him. Kaworu-kun was the one who should have survived. He was a much better person than I am. Kaworu-kun should have been the one to survive.
Misato: You're wrong. Only those who have the will to live get to survive. He wished to die. He abandoned his will to live, clinging instead to a false hope. You did nothing wrong, Shinji-kun.
Misato: You're cold, Misato-san.

[Toji is right in front of Asuka as the wind lifts her dress up; she slaps him]
Tôji: Ow! What was that for?
Asuka: That's the viewing fee! In fact, I think I'm charging a very fair price!
Tôji: Oh? Well, don't worry, here's your change!
[He pulls down his pants and undershorts in retaliation]
Asuka: Ach!
[She slaps him again]

Shinji: Don't leave me.
Misato: Don't ignore me.
Asuka: Don't kill me.

Asuka: It's about time you got up, idiot!
Shinji: [yawning] Oh, it's you Asuka.
Asuka: What the hell do you mean by that? Can't you appreciate that I came to wake you up PERSONALLY? I don't hear any words of appreciation for your oldest childhood friend!
Shinji: Thanks. Now let me sleep a little more.
Asuka: It's time to get up, you dork!
[pulls off blanket]
Asuka: Ah! You stupid pervert, I didn't mean to get THAT up!
Shinji: I can't help it! It's morning! I gotta take a whizz or something...
Asuka: Hey, don't point it at me!

Shinji: Are you asleep yet, Mr. Kaji?
Ryôji: No, not yet.
Shinji: What kind of person is my father?
Ryôji: Well, that question is a surprise. I thought you were going to talk about Katsuragi.
Shinji: It seems you're always with him.
Ryôji: The deputy commander is the one with him all the time. Have you been asking around about your father?
Shinji: I haven't been with him for a long time...
Ryôji: So, you don't know.
Shinji: But I have learned many things about my father recently. About his work, my mother...
Ryôji: No, you're wrong. You just think you understood. Well, that's why people try to know each other. That's why life is interesting.
Shinji: So, you can't really understand Misato either?
Ryôji: The Kanji we use for the word "she" a woman far away. To us men, women will always appear to be on the shore across. It means there is a river deeper and wider than the ocean that divides men and women.
Shinji: I can't understand grown-ups.

Rei: Mountain. Heavy are the mountains, something that changes through the ages. Sky. Blue sky. Something visible, something invisible. Sun. Something unique. Water. Something comfortable. Commander Ikari. Flowers. So many of them alike, so many of them useless. Sky. Red, red sky. Red color. Red is the color that I hate. Flowing water. 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. A strange feeling. My body seems as if it is melting. I cannot see myself. My figure is fading away. I am aware of someone else. Who is there before me? Ikari-kun. I know this person. Major Katsuragi. Dr. Akagi. People, my classmates. The pilot of Unit Two. Commander Ikari. Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

[Kaworu: Presto, 'Ode of Joy.']
Kaworu: Singing is great. Singing enriches the soul. It's the crowning achievement of the civilization that the Lilim created. Don't you feel the same? Ikari Shinji-kun?

Shinji: No one can justify their existence by linking their happiest moments into a kind of rosary. In particular, I cannot.

Misato: If Unit-01's signal disapears and another change occurs...
Makoto: I know. We set this place to self-destruct, right? It'll be better than letting them set off the Third Impact.
Misato: I'm sorry.
Makoto: It's okay, as long as I'm with you.
Misato: Thank you.

Shinji: [naked] M... M... Mis... Misato!
Misato: What?
Shinji: A p-p... A pe... pe... A p... A p... Huh?
Misato: Oh, him? He's one of those new warm water penguins.
Shinji: That was... what?
Misato: His name's Pen-Pen. He's your other roommate.
[takes a sip of beer]
Misato: Um... why don't you cover up?

Asuka: It's time to get up, you dork!
[pulls off blanket]
Asuka: Ach! You stupid pervert! I didn't need to get *that* up!
Shinji: I can't help it! It's morning!

Asuka: [threatening Shinji through the dividing wall between her room and his] This is the unbreakable Wall of Jericho, Third Child.
Shinji: What...?
Asuka: Take one step over this wall and you'll be a dead man!

Naoko: Did you need me for something, Rei?
Rei: I lost my way, doctor.
Naoko: Is that so? Well, do you want to come with me then?
Rei: No thanks.
Naoko: But how will you get home all by yourself?
Rei: That's none of your business, old hag.
Naoko: Old hag?
Rei: I can find my way home by myself, old hag.
Naoko: Uh... you shouldn't call someone and old hag, Rei.
Rei: But you're an old hag, aren't you?
Naoko: I'm getting mad. Commander Ikari will spank you for this, you little...
Rei: But the commander is the one who calls you that. He says "That old hag is annoying. That old hag is no use anymore."

[Shinji rescues Rei from her battered Eva]
Shinji: Ayanami! Are you all right? Ayanami! Don't say... Don't say that you have nothing else. Don't say goodbye when you leave on a mission. It's too sad.
[Shinji weeps]
Rei: Why are you crying? I'm sorry; I don't know what to do of feel at a time like this.
Shinji: Why don't you try smiling?
[Rei thinks of Gendo smiling, and smiles herself]

Gendo: You disappoint me.

Ryoji: People who know what pain is are kinder to others because of it. That's not the same thing as being weak.

Shinji: [naked] Misato! There's a...
Misato: Oh, him? His name's pen pen. He's just another lodger.
Misato: So uh... heh heh heh... why don't you cover up?

Gendô: So, you're running away again. You disappoint me. I assume we will never meet again.
Shinji: Yes. That's my intent.

Shinji: So, you're asking me to take this thing and go out there and fight?!
Gendo: Correct.
Shinji: How could you do this to me?! I thought you didn't want me! Why?! Why did you have to call me now, father?!
Gendo: Because I have a use for you.

[Shinji is moving in with Misato and putting away the groceries; Misato is in the other room, changing]
Shinji: [Notices Pen Pen's habitat] Hey, what's in the other refrigerator?
Misato: Oh, don't bother him! He's probably still sleeping!
Shinji: Still... sleeping?...

Asuka: It's about time you got up, idiot!
Shinji: [yawning] Oh, it's you Asuka.
Asuka: What the hell does that mean? Cant' you appreciate that I went to the trouble of waking you up PERSONALLY? I don't hear any words of appreciation for your oldest childhood friend.
Shinji: Thanks. Now let me sleep a little more.

Kaworu: You are delicate, like glass.

Misato: This is your home now, so make yourself comfortable. And take advantage of everything here, except me.

Rei: [naked, with Shinji on top of her] Would you get off?

Ryoji: [to Shinji] So, I understand you're living with Katsuragi.
Shinji: Uh, yeah...
Ryoji: So, is she still so... wild in bed?
Shinji: WHAAAAAT?

[Toji is right in front of Asuka as the wind lifts her dress up; she slaps him]
Toji: Ow! What was that for?
Asuka: That's the viewing fee! In fact, I think I'm charging a very fair price!
Toji: Oh? Well, don't worry, here's your change!
[He pulls down his pants and undershorts in retaliation]
Asuka: Ach!
[She slaps him again]

[Rei is explaining why she doesn't recall her having saved Shinji the day before]
Rei: I think... I am the third.

Ritsuko: So, how was Rei today?
[Gendou does not answer]
Ritsuko: You DID see her at the hospital this afternoon, didn't you?
Gendô: She will be ready to work again in twenty days. By then, we'll be ready to reactivate Unit 00 from cryo-stasis.
Ritsuko: It's so hard on these poor children.
Gendô: There is no one else who can pilot the Evas. As long as they survive, that is what I'll have them do.
Ritsuko: With no regard to what they might want?

[Shinji is moving in with Misato and putting away the groceries; Misato is in the other room, changing]
Shinji: [Notices Pen Pen's habitat] Hey, what's in the other refrigerator?
Misato: Oh, don't bother him! He's probably still sleeping!
Shinji: Still... sleeping?...

Shinji: It's time.
Kaworu: Time to go?
Shinji: Yeah. I have to go to bed.
Kaworu: With me?
Shinji: [stutters] No!

Misato: What good is your goddamned science? It can't even save one small life! Give me back my Shinji! Give him back!

Toji: [after Asuka slapped him] What was that for?
Asuka: Viewing fee. Cheap wasn't it?
Toji: Oh yeah? Well here's your change!
[He undoes his trousers and exposes himself to Asuka]

Kaworu: [to Shinji] You must seize the future. It is what you live for!

Ryôji: 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.

Misato: You fool. You were always such a fool.

[repeated line]
Asuka: What are you, stupid?

Ryoji: So, can I buy you a drink? Cup o' tea?
Shinji: Kaji, I'm a boy.

Rei: [to Shinji] You're the jerk who was staring at my panties!
Asuka: Hey, you were the one who was flashing them!
Rei: Why are you defending him? Are you riding his baloney pony?
Asuka: [sweatdrops] WHAT? We're just really good childhood friends!

Shinji: [answer their apartment door wearing matching dancing outfits, part of training to work as a synchronized pair. Speak in unison] It's Misato's idea! She's got us eating, brushing, and sleeping together!
Hikari: Oh no! You're living in sin!
Shinji: *It's not like that!*

[Unit-01 grips Kaworu in its left hand]
Shinji: Kaworu-kun, why?
Kaworu: Because it's my destiny to continue to live, even if it may result in the destruction of humanity. But I can also die here. Life and death are of equal value to me. Dying of your own will. That is the one and only absolute freedom there is.
Shinji: What? Kaworu-kun, I don't understand what you're saying! Kaworu-kun...
Kaworu: And, you are not a being who should die. Your people need the future. Thank you. I'm glad I met you.
[for a long, long moment, Shinji and the EVA hold still, as Kaworu looks up at them. Then, the fist closes with a loud crush]
