Scene 11

Gendo and Rei are sitting at a small, knee-high table. They face each other, sitting cross-legged on the floor. Their faces are, as usual, completely blank.
"Are you ready, Rei?" Gendo asks.
"Yes, commander."
Between them are two small glasses and a bottle, filled with a clear liquid and marked with Cyrillic letters. Gendo takes the bottle and fills the glasses. Then, in one swift motion, they both swallow the contents.
After putting her glass down, Rei takes the bottle and pours up another round. It disappears as quickly as the first one.
This continues for a while, Rei and Gendo taking turns in refilling the glasses, both keeping their impervious facial expression.
Gendo pours up the nineteenth round. Rei reaches for her glass, but misses with about half a foot. The momentum brings her out of balance, and she falls over and disappears behind the table, one hand still sticking up. Incoherent mumbling can be heard, but is soon replaced by a drunken giggle.
Gendo, seemingly ignorant of Rei's condition, finishes his glass. Then he smirks, and slowly collapses backwards.
Misato and Ritsuko are watching the spectacle through a surveillance camera.
"And they do things like this four times a year?" Misato asks.
"Yepp."
"Why?"
"To see which one can keep up the 'I'm a stone cold bitch'-attitude the longest. Last time they were sticking needles under their toenails."
"Oh."
