	042	Misato inside the trailer (the driver in the front seat), in her underwear. Misato:“"Air conditioning has just got to be humanity's greatest treasure. It's a real triumph of science."” Ritsuko puts the receiver of a car phone down. Ritsuko:“"Shinji-kun has recovered consciousness."” Misato's face turns serious.	Shin-seiki: (041~048) I think this scene provides an interesting contrast between Misato and Ritsuko: Misato lets the heat get to her and responds by peeling off some of her clothes (something she seems inclined to do at the drop of a hat), while Ritsuko keeps her lab coat on and yet retains her cool, calm demeanor. Reichu: To me, there seems to be some kind of hidden significance to Misato's line that I can't quite put a finger on yet… Maybe I'm just thinking about this too much. Keisuke-kun: How when Man finds something that bothers him he does two things: He learns more about it, then tries to get rid of it. HeWhoPostsStuff: Perhaps because it's one of the few inventions man has which pretty much defies one of the "inconquerable" forces of nature, namely weather and temperature? Something like that… Reichu: That seems to be what ADV was going for in their translation of the line, anyhow. ("Air conditioning has just got to be mankind's greatest treasure. It's the triumph of science over nature.")
