	322	ASUKA:“It makes me sick.”
	323	ASUKA:“Like hell I'll bathe in water that Misato and stupid Shinji used.”	Dr. Nick: Two episodes later, Asuka reaches her rock bottom in a bath tub.
	324		UrsusArctos: Asuka's yelling at the light reflecting off the water - images that are associated in NGE with motherhood, birth, and Rei, the association with the latter being made explicit in the next episode. She is symbolically breaking down and confessing to the thing that she hates most.
	325	ASUKA:“Like hell I'll use a washer that Misato and stupid Shinji used to wash their underwear.”
	326
	327	ASUKA:“Like hell I'll sit on a toilet that Misato and stupid Shinji used.”
	328
	329	ASUKA:“Like hell I'll breathe the same air as Misato and stupid Shinji.”
	330
	331	ASUKA:“I hate Misato! I hate Shinji! And I hate the First Child even more!”
	332
	333	ASUKA:“I hate Dad! I hate Mom!”
	334
	335	ASUKA:“But I hate myself the most!”
	336
	337	ASUKA:“I hate this! I can't stand it anymore!”	Dr. Nick: A directing triumph by anime standards: somehow the well-known perverts at Gainax managed not to kneecap this scene (and Ritsuko's nude scene in the next episode) with fan service. There's probably no stronger indicator that in-universe things are going off the rails, badly.
	338	ASUKA:“Why do I have to...”
	339	ASUKA:“Why me?!”

	056	IBUKI:“She's at negative twelve point eight on the synch index”
	057	IBUKI:“just barely above the activation level.” RITSUKO:“That's terrible. She's dropped off even more than yesterday.”
	058A	MISATO:“Asuka isn't feeling well today. She's on her second day.” RITSUKO:“The synch rate isn't affected by superficial physical conditions.”
	058B	RITSUKO:“The problem lies more in the subconscious.”	Mr. Tines: The systematic program of undermining is well advanced.
	059	RITSUKO (MONO):“We may have no choice but to change the core of Unit 02.” RITSUKO:“Asuka”	Dr. Nick: Poor Kensuke. Ritsuko is charliebrowning him without him even knowing it.
	060	RITSUKO (OFF):“you can come up.”
	061	ANNOUNCEMENT:“Repair work on Power Grid 8 is scheduled to begin at 1800 today.”
	062	RITSUKO (OFF):“Asuka's pride is in pieces.”
	063	MISATO:“It's not surprising, considering how she lost. Or rather, the fact she thinks she lost to Shinji looms larger.” ANNOUNCEMENT:“The regular meeting concerning the disposal issue of Command Center 1 will be held on schedule.”
	064	MISATO:“Maybe the three of us living together has reached the limit.” ANNOUNCEMENT:“General Affairs managers, please come to Conference Room 2.”
	065	RITSUKO:“Threshold exceeded? Is this the end of your merry game of house?”
	066	MISATO:“I don't want to hear that from someone who keeps a cat to keep loneliness at bay.”	Mr. Tines: Cats are at least easier to manage than teenagers
	067
	068	MISATO:“I'm sorry, I guess I'm on edge.”
