After Misato’s lines, there is a pause before Ritsuko starts to speak off-screen.
MISATO:“Yes, sir.”
---short pause ---
RITSUKO (OFF):“You’ve come up with yet another...”
FreakyFilmFan4ever: This is either a graphic match technique being used to transition between scenes, or Misato is finishing recounting her discussion with Gendo to Ritsuko. I'm inclined to think the former is true every time I watch it.
The camera tracks back after Ritsuko starts to speak
Ritsuko is behind Misato on the escalator, looking exasperated.
RITSUKO (ON):“...reckless plan, I see. Operations Chief Katsuragi-san”
Translator's Note: Operations Chief (sakusen buchou 作戦部長) is highlighted in the original.
