Kaji Bashing: He's not THAT great
Scene 009: Misato bashing
Misato: I'm sure that Ritsuko despises me. This is pretty indecent.
Ryoji: Those who are hooked on sexual desires are more real as humans. We can be deceitful.
Misato: To our intelligence agency, Commander Ikari and Ritsuko, or me?
Ryoji: No, me.
Misato: It's the others ... am I right? You aren't interested in others but you feel lonely. You're like my father.
Ryoji: A Cigarette. You still smoke?
Misato: I smoke only after things like this. Now, only you know about it.
Ryoji: I feel honored.
Misato: And how's instrumentality going? Adam could wipe out mankind. Why is it being kept there?
Ryoji: Did you come to see me because you want to know that?
Misato: That's one of the reasons.
Ryoji: It would be an honor to be used as my lady's cat's-paw, but I can't tell you.
Misato: I just need you to know what I want. What are NERV and Commander Ikari really planning?
Ryoji: I'd like to know that myself.
Misato: Wait, don't dodge my questions by doing that… Hey- no! Don't put strange things in there… I don't believe this. What is this?
Ryoji: A present; the first in eight years… perhaps the last.
[A long silence passes over the speaker of the agent's receiver - the action for the moment settling in a comfortable valley.]
[The agent adjusts his headset and reaches again for his cigarette. He takes another drag and leans back in his chair.]
[The late night hours are taking their toll on him and his partner. They should be due for a shift change at any time soon, but their supply of coffee is running low.]
[Suddenly, they are both stirred awake by a noise from the receiver.]
FEEEEP-P-P-PHHHHH!!!
Misato: Oh my god!
Kaji: I'm sorry! I was so relaxed!
SMACK!
[Both agents crack up and start guffawing histerrically.]
