Scene 17

Asuka's title: "Just trust me; I know."

Shinji's title: "So, this is what it feels like to travel around in circles."

[The sun has begun setting and our heroes are still following Pen-Pen through the desert]

Shinji: So, this is what it feels like to travel around in circles.

Asuka: Yeah. We've passed that same sand dune, like, five times already.

Shinji: How can you be so sure? They all look exactly the same.

Asuka: Just trust me; I know.

Shinji: You've been saying "just trust me" a lot lately.

Asuka: Yeah, well, you know.

Shinji: Hey, where'd Pen-Pen go?

[Asuka and Shinji look around to notice that Pen-Pen is no longer in sight.]

Asuka: Well, isn't this just great…not like it will change much anyway.

Shinji: They could at least give us a warning before they leave, though…I mean, at least Rei did that.

Asuka: Don't get me started on wonder girl, Shinji. Which reminds me, this whole stank of rotting flesh is really starting to get on my nerves. Not to mention I'm hungry; can we get something to eat?

Shinji: You know, Asuka, it never ceases to amaze me how you can so easily switch a topic like rotting flesh to something like getting something to eat with such nonchalance.

Asuka: Well, that's what the end of the world does to you, I guess.

Shinji: But where are we going to get some food?

Asuka: Hmm…how about over there? [Asuka points to a garden that has just appeared in the distance]

Shinji: Yeah, that'll work.

Next Scene:

Asuka's title: "It's been pretty crappy, but whatever."

Shinji's title: "But I'm probably too stupid to actually remember that."
