Long shot from the back of the aircraft.
A news program is being shown on the monitor.
The man sits down.
MAN (BACK):“(Once he has seated himself) So the revised budget for the sample collection passed without difficulty.”

MAN (BACK):“And their argument had been that no further Angels would appear. I have another piece of good news. Except for the U.S., all council members have approved the budget for Unit-06. Well, it's probably only a matter of time before the U.S. approves.”
UrsusArctos: To the disappointment of mecha fans everywhere, Eva-06 and Eva-08 (mentioned two shots below) had to wait until a whole new continuity to appear. That aside, the scheming that goes on between these two is couched in indirect talk and subtleties.
Dr. Nick: Definite shades of early installment weirdness in this scene, even though we're already in episode 7.
