71	->"Are you fucking insane?"
72	->They pause. Gendo raises an eyebrow.
73	->"He's got a point," Misato says, "Sohryu Doctrine for Evangelion engagement kind of suggests we need him trained. He knows about the Evas, but we never put him in a plug."
74	->"Unfortunately, Unit 01 is combat ready," Rei responds, "Unit 00, while operation ready, is an inferior model until new parts arrive."
75	->"We don't have time," Ritsuko says, hands in the air, "Look, we can just have Shinji sit in the plug, and it'll do the rest! We train him when it's over!"
76	->"That's fucking retarded," Shinji yells back, turning from Akagi to his father, "I'm not trained! I got beaten up in school every day until I graduated! You want to put me in a giant robot and have it step on me, why?"
77	->"We have no other choice."
78	->Slapping his hand over his face, Shinji lets out a litany of curses. Rei watches, taking in the new, filthy words for future reference.

80	->The screen beside the main diagnostic display flickers. Shinji's face appears, mid scream.
81	->"-and stomp you until you can be FUCKING MAILED! Are you INSANE?"
82	->"Calm down, pilot," Misato says, folding her arms, her gray uniform already showing signs of wrinkles from being worn way too many days in a row, "Just work with the plan and we'll be fine."
83	->"Fine? Your plan had me drugged and tossed into a giant robot! This ISN'T A PLAN! This is a BAD IDEA!"
84	->"You'll be fine," Misato explains, "Just do what we tell you to and you'll be fine."
85	->"Miss Katsuragi, in all honesty I'm not a kid. I know bullshit when I hear it, and that requires a steam shovel. If a girl who's trained to do this since you grew her in a fucking test tube had trouble with that, how exactly is the Commander's son, who proudly states for the record that he cries like a girl when he has to get his tooth drilled, going to do any better?"
86	->Misato turns towards the command deck. Gendo shrugs.
87	->"Okay," she sighs, "Do you have...well, we need you to pilot. Seriously. I'm Sub Commander of NERV, after all. Anything I can do to reassure you?"
88	->"So we're negotiating NOW?"
89	->"Yep."
90	->"Okay, fine. Here's what I want-"
91	->"Angel is approaching Shogoki!"
92	->Shinji turns to his side, eyes snapping wide open before the screen blinks out. Locks release around the purple giant, the Evangelion dropping from the lift and onto its stomach just as the bright pink blast flies right by where it was, ripping into the raised elevator carriage.
93	->"Crap," Shinji mutters, gripping the controls, "Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap!"

96	->'''Shinji''': Um, Asuka, how do you know how to pilot one of these things? You didn't this morning!\
97	'''Asuka''': And I've had a whole morning to learn. Relax, Third, I know this beautiful beast inside and out. They've got some awesome learning gear around here. I've already had the full basic piloting and technical course zapped into my head.\
98	''[...]''\
99	'''Shinji''': Wait, I don't know anything about how to drive one of these things!\
100	'''Asuka''': And you didn't know anything about how to pilot an Evangelion when you tore apart the third Angel. Since when has not knowing anything slowed you down?
