	Title2	EYECATCH B:“EPISODE #24': The Beginning and the End, or 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door'”	UrsusArctos: Although the 2001 Cowboy Bebop movie refers to the same legendary Bob Dylan song and is probably better known among western fans, NGE beat it to the punch by a solid five years. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is downright Oedipal in its themes and deals with the paradox of fearing and welcoming death at the same time, as explained on this site, which makes the reference perfect for this episode. "The Beginning and the End" refers to how Kaworu in his original body (Adam) and in his Lilin form serves as both the First and the Last Angel.
	119	??:“Nerv, the organization formed to be Seele's executive branch...” ??:“It was created in order to put our script into practice.” ??:“But now, it has become an organization in the possession of one individual.”
	120	??:“Precisely, we must take it back.”
	121	??:“Before the promised day.”
	122	KEEL:“Nerv and the Eva series must be in their true forms.”
	123	KEEL:“Ikari, you will bear the responsibility of your malfeasance towards Seele.”
	124	IKARI:“The time that has been given to us runs short.”
	125	IKARI:“But the Lance of Longinus that stood in the way of our desire is no more.”
	126
	127	IKARI:“Soon, the final Angel will appear. If we destroy it, our wish will come true.”	UrsusArctos: The glimpse of Adam fused to Gendo's hand was added to the Director's Cut edition.
	128A	IKARI:“Just a little longer, Yui.”
	128B
	128C	REI:“Why am I here?”
	128D
	128E	REI:“Why am I alive again?”	dzzthink: Very interesting statement, suggesting that Rei is aware that she was created again from Nerv's cloning devices but is confused about her existence. This clone even questions her loyalty to Gendo in this scene, as even she is unsure about 'for who' is she being brought back alive for.
	128F
	128G	REI:“For what?”
	128H		dzzthink: Rei is associated with the moon in this shot, much like in the end credits.
	128I	REI:“And for whom?”
	128J
	128K	REI:“The Fifth Child...”
	128L	REI:“That boy...”
	128M	REI:“I feel as if he's the same as me. Why?”	UrsusArctos: She's still working out what Kaworu meant, but when she does...ooh, boy.

	131	MISATO:“I'm glad we're on the outskirts of the city,”
	132	MISATO:“because it kept you safe from all that.”
	133	MISATO:“But there's no guarantee that will be the case next time.”
	134	MISATO:“So, the Horaki family will be taking care of you starting tomorrow.”
	135	MISATO:“This will be goodbye for a while, Pen Pen.”
