-->'''Gendo''': "I see."
-->'''Shinji''': "No, I really need to explain it. I need to quantify it. I f_ing hate you, Father. I f_ing hate you so much I can feel it starting all the way from my feet. I swear to God, when I get home I am getting in Unit 01 and I am going to make you beg for death."

* Chapter 5: WHUMPAWHUMPAWHUMPAWHUMPAThe fourth chapter is a very serious chapter where basically Shinji and Asuka (and Asuka's Step-Sister) talk about [[spoiler:Ariel, Asuka's daughter whose father is unknown, though it eventually is revealed that it's ''Kaworu,'' though not in the way you'd think.]] The seriousness is broken up with brief look at Rei Ayanami's "Penthouse Magazine Date With ''Kensuke. Aida.''"
** These parts are made even more hilarious since they essentially amount to little more than ''WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA WHUMPA.''
*** This is capped at the end with this:
--->Finally, shakily, he raises a hand, closing it into a fist and pointing his thumb up.'''
--->"Well, that settles it," he says, "There is a God."
