One of the monitors replaces Shinji with Fuyutsuki.
Ikari:“Go wake up Rei.”
Fuyutsuki:“Can we use her?”
Ikari:“She isn't dead.”
Fuyutsuki:“Understood.”
The display changes once again.
thewayneiac: (“She isn't dead.”) Well, that gets my vote for the most cold-hearted line of dialog in the entire series.
tv33: This says a lot about Gendo. Even someone he at least likes more than his average puppet is expendable if it mean getting one step closer to his goal; everything is secondary to its completion.
HeWhoPostsStuff: Or maybe he says it like that in order to make Shinji feel even more sorry for Rei, to further persuade him to take her place and pilot EVA-01?
Reichu: Good ol' psychological manipulation, eh?
HeWhoPostsStuff: Or, as everyone else seems to think, maybe he is really just a gigantic SOB. :D But I figured I'd attempt a guess at a more practical reason as to why he'd talk about Rei like that, especially after his having dramatically saved her from the overheated entry plug not long before…
