Akihiko blinked. The sarcasm was lost on him, as well as the references. This was fairly clearly shown in his expression. He decided to state this confusion as plainly as possible.
"They don't combine," he said.
The male officer, Hashiyama, chuckled a little. "Major, I think you've confused them enough already."

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."Sakura breaks out into a huge grin. "I want to be the red ranger!"
She figures she'll play along.

The female agent straightened and spoke up.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up.""Hmmm..." She thinks. "Actually, I want to be the Purple Ranger." Purple's way better than Red, after all.

Akihiko looked around. All the candidates were assembled, one for each Evangelion. They'd be leaving now, he assumed. This was one of the rare times he didn't mind company. At least now there was a reason behind it.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up.""Oh ye of little faith," Akio fell forward melodramatically as though stabbed in the back, "Wait until you're in your latex power uniforms piloting the giant robots to protect us from the Evil Earth Destroying Aliens. Then you'll learn to believe uncle Akio."

Yoshida sighed, and whispered back. "If you say so, major..."
"Well, I think we should be leaving now," started Hashiyama. "We're already a bit pressed for time, the commander's not going to be too pleased."

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

"Ah, Takahashi-san," the officer started. "Please come with me, NERV requires your presence."
Akihiko was once again surprised to see the other girl present, the second girl who had taken his spot on the roof. This time, he remained silent, awaiting their departure.
The female officer took a deep breath before speaking to the other NERV officers. "Major Musashi, Higashiyama-san, I see you've found the other candidates."
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
