	138		UrsusArctos: More CH-53s. It seems that Nerv has a pool of real-life helicopters to supplant those ridiculous VTOLs when the situation calls for it. (I certainly approve!)
	139	IBUKI (OFF):“This must be tough for Major Katsuragi.”	Dr. Nick: Even if most of the buildings swallowed are Evangelion support buildings, Leliel must have eaten quite a lot of people. But just like with the railway cannon Zonder in GaoGaiGar, this multikill goes totally unaddressed. (Horrible thought: Leliel is an absolute flattie, so the people in the sub-levels below its body are safe, but were any poor souls on escalators chopped in half? Were any elevators full of people accidentally lowered straight into its belly?)
	140	RITSUKO (OFF):“They reeled the umbilical cable back in,”
	141	RITSUKO (OFF):“but the other end was missing.” IBUKI (OFF):“Then...” RITSUKO (OFF):“There's not much energy in the internal batteries. But if Shinji doesn't just”
	142	RITSUKO (OFF):“flail around with the Eva, and can hang in there in life support mode,”
	143	RITSUKO:“then he can survive for sixteen hours.”
	144		Mr. Tines: Quite an unusual choice of interstitial, clouds like witches on broomsticks and a church.
	145	MAN (OFF):“Second Tank Platoon deployed.” WOMAN (OFF):“Roger. Hold your current positions and stand by.” MAN (OFF):“Sub laser circuit has been opened. Transmitting data now.”
	146	MAN (OFF):“Confirmed. New line transmitting data.”
	147	AOBA:“The UN forces have completely surrounded it.” MISATO:“What about the shadow?” HYUGA:“It hasn't moved. It stopped spreading once it reached a diameter of just over 600 meters. But are the ground troops going to be any use?” MISATO:“They think they're applying pressure on us.” ASUKA (OFF):“Good grief!”
	148	ASUKA:“Good grief! Taking matters into his own hands, ignoring the plan. Honestly, talk about getting what he deserved.”
	149	ASUKA (OFF):“Just because he got a little better score on yesterday's tests, he was going to show me how it's done?!”
	150	ASUKA:“What a big-headed idiot!”
	151	ASUKA:“What?”
	152	ASUKA:“Is my bad-mouthing of Shinji that much of a problem for you?!”	dzzthink: How the spotlights illuminate the characters in this scene, brings out an interesting shade and contrast that suits Asuka's conversation with Rei. It seems to suggest the dichotomy of their personalities and their hidden feelings. Asuka's arrogance does seem to be a front to hide her own insecurities as an Eva pilot, which Rei points out. As in the Bible: 'Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.' Luke 12:3
	153	REI:“Do you pilot Eva just for the praise of others?”
	154	ASUKA:“No! Not of others! I do it because I want to be able to praise myself!” MISATO (OFF):“Cut it out, you two!”	Mr. Tines: Asuka reveals herself to Rei, but nothing comes of it.
	155	MISATO:“That's right, he went out on his own.”
	156	MISATO:“So I'll just have to scold him when he comes back.”
