Act 1, Scene 1:
A street.
Enter Shinji.
Shinji
Many miles and many fleeting vistas I've seen
All in the course of a night and a day
And all in search of a something missing
From myself that I have never known.
Years I've spent, with the mind of despair
That I have never nor will ever find it.
Yet, as I let go another day,
The one that hath gone just four from this,
I receive a strange message, from away –
A calling from my loathsome father.
Just the one word that he wrote to me: "Come."
Had me arrested in a fit that drew
The little life that I had within me
To live the day; and destroy'd the very
Script that it came in did I: ripped and
Scribbled with red – ay, that single word,
And that single name which caused it razed,
One I find hideous torment to share:
Gendou Ikari! Gendou Ikari!
Yet, stranger still, was the message next day:
Another letter by another scribe,
Whom verily is just as much the strange.
Yet, its effect had me see my mind chang'd,
Tape up the former, and drove me here.
Here, the message says we shall find ourselves,
Yet I see not a soul in sight at hand.
Only this pay-phone can my hand see to
And my mind seek out the missing someone.
Dials phone
Verily, something is not just missing,
Rather something has gone amiss 'round here.
Say you – here – you come for me, so I wait;
Yet wait have I, and come I have not got.
Thunder within
Hark! What thunder ventures where clouds do not?
Enter Angel and VTOLs, at a distance
Mine eyes and ears have not turned from me
In the fashion that they do thus, before!
VTOLs attack the Angel, Angel flees, advancing
My body lies, too, says it shakes from th' ground
But best to bet that this may not be so! Fleeing
Enter Misato, in a car
What, ho! Come you for me or for my life?
Misato
I come, now we go!
Get in, be not slow!
Exeunt
