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.
Leighton: I can't help but notice the character design fluctuations even occuring between scenes. I mean compare this scene to 086. Her nose has seemed to have dropped down / her face is longer.
NemZ: That nose looks like a pair of sinus cavity holes. Did it spite your face, Misato?
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.
