	031	RITSUKO (OFF):“So, Rei, how does it feel to be piloting”
	032	RITSUKO (OFF):“Unit 01 for the first time?”
	33A	REI:“It smells like Ikari.”
	33B	TEXT:“First unit interchangeability test Subject Rei Ayanami”
	034	RITSUKO (OFF):“Her synch rate is almost the same”
	035	RITSUKO:“as with Unit 00.” IBUKI:“Unit 00 and 01's personal data patterns are very similar too, after all.”	Mr. Tines: As we saw with the game of twister, Rei and Shinji are indeed much alike on some fundamental level.
	036	RITSUKO:“That's exactly what makes this synchronization possible.”
	037A	IBUKI (OFF):“Error is plus or minus 0.03. Harmonics are normal.”
	037B	RITSUKO:“No interchangeability problems detected between Rei and Unit 01 .”
	038	RITSUKO (OFF):“Okay, the test is finished. Rei,”
	039	RITSUKO:“you can get out now.” REI:“Yes, Ma'am.”
	040A	TEXT:“87th unit link-up test Subject Asuka Langley Sohryu”
	040B	MAN (OFF):“Data bank for Unit 02 complete.” WOMAN (OFF):“Harmonics are all normal.”
	041A	ASUKA:“Of course!” MAN (OFF):“Pilot status normal.”
	041B	TEXT:“First unit interchangeability test Subject Shinji Ikari”
	042	RITSUKO (OFF):“What about Unit 00's” WOMAN (OFF):“Entry plug insertion complete.”
	043	RITSUKO (OFF):“personal data?” IBUKI (OFF):“Already reconfigured. Currently reconfirming.”
	044	RITSUKO:“Subject status?”
	045	HYUGA (OFF):“He appears a bit nervous, but no problems in his nerve patterns.” MISATO (OFF):“This is his first time in Unit 00.”
	046	MISATO (OFF):“It's another Eva, so it's only natural.”
	047	ASUKA:“He's so stupid. He should just take it easy and not worry about those things.” MISATO:“Shinji's just not that kind of person.” ASUKA:“I know, that's why he's stupid. Speaking of which, don't I need to be involved in their interchangeability test?” MISATO:“You don't want to pilot an Eva besides Unit 02 anyway, do you?” ASUKA:“Well, you've got that right.”	Mr. Tines: Asuka, of course, isn't like the other pilots; but gets directed away from asking awkward questions by having her ego fed.
	048	MISATO (MONO):“Eva Unit 02 definitely wouldn't be interchangeable.”
	049	IBUKI (OFF):“Entry has commenced.”
	050	IBUKI (OFF):“Initiating first connection.” RITSUKO (OFF):“Shinji, how do you feel in Unit 00's entry plug?” SHINJI:“It feels kind of odd.” IBUKI (OFF):“A sense of incongruity?” SHINJI:“No, it's just that...” WOMAN (OFF):“LCL electrolyzed.”
	051	SHINJI (OFF):“It smells like Ayanami.” ASUKA:“What does he mean, smell? Is he a pervert?”
	052	IBUKI (OFF):“Data received. Reconfirming. Pattern green.” RITSUKO (OFF):“Roger.” WOMAN (OFF):“Main power supply connection complete.” MAN (OFF):“All restraints are normal.”
	053	RITSUKO (OFF):“Now let's shift to the second stage of the interchangeability tests.”
	054A	IBUKI (OFF):“Unit 00 will enter into second contact.”
	54B-62B
	063	MISATO:“How is it?” RITSUKO:“As I thought, the synch rate is lower than that of Unit 01.”
	064	IBUKI (OFF):“Harmonics are all normal.” RITSUKO (OFF):“But these are still good readings.”
	065	RITSUKO (OFF):“This means we can implement that plan.”	Mr. Tines: The whole sequence has been leading to this next step in the conspiracy; of course the further down the chain of command from Gendo, the less the NERV staff is in the know about what's really going on.
	066	IBUKI:“The dummy system, you mean? I know you support it, but I'm not so...”
	067	RITSUKO:“I understand why you wouldn't approve, but we always need to be prepared”
	068	RITSUKO (OFF):“so that mankind can survive.” IBUKI:“I highly respect you, Ma'am, and I will do my duty, but I am not convinced about this project.”
	069	RITSUKO:“It's tough having a fastidious nature, as far as living among people goes.”
	070
	071	RITSUKO:“You'll understand that when you feel that you've been sullied.”
	072		Zusuchan: Pretty sure Maya's eying Ritsuko's breasts here for a moment. Also interesting she has reservations with the Dummy plugs even now-reservations that are probably well founded, based on the system's cruelty in ep.18. The exchange seems quite interesting too, but it feels like there's something I can't quite put my finger on. Oh, well.
	073
	074	WOMAN (OFF):“Initiating third connection.”
	075	HYUGA (OFF):“Self psycho-graph is stable.” ASUKA:“Hey, Shin, how do you like mommy's breast? Or is it more like inside her womb?” RITSUKO (OFF):“Asuka, it'll introduce data noise. Don't interfere.” ASUKA:“Okay, okay.”	Mr. Tines: Many a true word spoke in Asuka's jest; the subject of mothers having not been brought up before. dzzthink: Very interesting that Asuka mentions the mother's womb out of nowhere.
	076	ASUKA:“What's with them? They're all so quick to mollycoddle Shinji.”
