The "I don't want to pilot Eva/Why do I pilot Eva?" First time everyone is telling him not to. Something for another thread though.
Dat Piano scene!!! Feel the same way, was like "whoa Shinji got good really fast" but the fact he has been shown to be a pretty accomplished musician previously, and the scene just looks awesome that I'll let it slide he learned piano skills in moments that took my many many years.
Oh sorry, forgot about those -
Misato: "Don't do anything (anymore)."
Asuka: "It's got nothing to do with you."
Sakura: "Anything but boarding the EVA, please!"
Gendo: "Pilot the EVA."
ReiQ: "I don't know."
Shinji's overloading, because everyone keeps telling him contradicting things. Rei's "I don't know," was her answer in their previous conversation (as Shinji was simultaneously trying to fill in the awkward silence and attempt to get a semblance of information).
Shinji: "A lot's changed... in the NERV HQ. Why is Misato-san not fighting against Angels but the NERV HQ? What on Earth is father trying to do here? What happened to everyone? Hey, Ayanami, do you have any idea?"
ReiQ: "I don't know."
Shinji: "I see... yeah, that's right. Ayanami, when did you return from Unit01?"
ReiQ: "..."
Shinji: "There aren't even rooms here / This doesn't look like a room... I'd say 'that's just like Ayanami,' but there's not even a school - what do you do here?"
ReiQ: "I wait for orders."
Shinji: "There aren't even books here! Don't you read books?"
ReiQ: "Books? Would 'Ayanami Rei' do that?"
Shinji: "Yeah, you read a lot, don't you? There were lots of books in your room and stuff."
ReiQ: "Is that so."
Shinji: [didn't catch everything, but probably something about him helping her look for some Eva-related {?} books and that she "likes them, right?"]
ReiQ: " 'Like'? "
Shinji: "Yeah, well, at least I think so."
ReiQ: "What is 'like'?"
End of scene.
