Screenshots	Cut #	Description/Dialogue	Commentary
	069	ASUKA:“Why do I have to go through this just because I'm a woman?!”	Mr. Tines: Seen more than once : this parallels the Ritsuko washroom scene a few episodes ago
	070	ASUKA:“I don't even want kids!”
	071	ANNOUNCEMENT:“Route Loop 7 is currently closed due to an accident.”
	072
	073	ANNOUNCEMENT:“Please use the detour via Route 12.”
	074
	075		Dr. Nick: Time for UNITINU.
	076
	077
	078	REI:“The Eva won't move unless you open your heart.”	Dr. Nick: This scene is probably the most appreciated of the Director's Cut fixes: in the original on-air version, Asuka looked distractingly off-model.
	079	ASUKA:“Are you saying that my heart is closed?!”
	080	REI:“Yes, the Evas have souls.”
	081	ASUKA:“Those puppets?!”
	082	REI:“You should know that.”
	083	ASUKA:“Fancy you starting up a conversation! Maybe it'll snow tomorrow!”
	084
	085	ASUKA:“What?! Are you so happy that I can't pilot my Eva?! There's nothing to worry about! If another Angel attacks us, the great, invincible Shinji will take care of it for us! We don't have to do anything!”
	086	ASUKA:“All they need is Shinji!”
	087
	088	ASUKA:“First, I get Shinji's sympathy, and now, even from the mechanical puppet girl. I've really lost my edge.”
	089	REI:“I am not a puppet.”
	090	ASUKA:“Shut up! You do whatever you're told! You'd die if Commander Ikari told you to, wouldn't you?!”
	091	REI:“That's right.”
	092
	093	ASUKA:“You really ARE a puppet! I've always really hated you because you're so much like a puppet!”
	094		Dr. Nick: The famous interaction I mentioned. Rei, unsurprisingly, shows no emotion to Asuka's outburst, but I like to think her words stayed with Rei, even into version 3.0. UrsusArctos: Since Rei 3 says "I'm not a puppet" much like Rei 2 and demonstrates it unequivocally to Gendo, I guess your case is fairly solid.
	095
	096	ASUKA:“Everyone! I hate everyone!”
	097
	098
	099	KENSUKE:“Shinji didn't show up today either.”
	100	KENSUKE:“Though Ayanami's absence is normal.”
	101	HIKARI:“Asuka didn't come either. And Suzuhara's still in the hospital.”
	102	KENSUKE:“I guess school isn't much of a priority right now.”	Dr. Nick: And so we say goodbye to Hikari and Kensuke in the real world. There are some TV ending Instrumentality hijinks ahead, though. UrsusArctos: Goodbye to Kensuke, but not to Hikari.
	103
	104	ASUKA:“So, you're finally back to normal after losing like that!” MAN (OFF):“Signal from Eva Unit 02 showing no problems.” WOMAN (OFF):“VA connection and fusion are normal. Rate of proliferation is within expected limits.”
	105	ASUKA:“You're my puppet, so all you have to do is quietly do as I say!”	UrsusArctos: Was Kyoko aware of all this and get upset by it, further dropping Asuka's synch?
	106
	107	ASUKA:“Why does a weapon need a soul anyway?! It only gets in the way!”	Mr. Tines: You'll find out eventually, dear.
	108
	109	ASUKA:“Anyway, all you have to do is obey my orders.”
	110
	111
	112	ASUKA:“This is so stupid.” AOBA (OFF):“All hands, battle stations, level one! Prepare for anti-air combat!”
