Kaworu. What happened last time I cooperated with your wises? You tell me.

[evangelic]

It was necessary then. You're at liberty to do as you please, now.

[extradite]

You must miss that, being able to push my hand so much. It must be terrible for you right now.

[evangelic]

I miss being able to speak with you as often as before. It's terrible, only in that divide.

But I've become a tender memory for you. I apologize, but certain laws prevent me from permanently leaving here.

[extradite]

You don't have to. I'm... sorry. This is going wrong. This is going wrong again.

I didn't call for that. I called - I wanted to - ...you're all right. That's what I wanted to know. To happen.

[evangelic]

I'm alright. You don't need to worry about me, Shinji-kun.

Although, I'd like to spend some time with you again, once you're ready.

[extradite]

...with. Me.

[ (Exactly) a beat. ]

Why? That is... doing what?

[evangelic]

Anything you'd like. Have you been able to visit the fair?

[extradite]

Kaworu. [ Oh so slowly. ] People are dying. It wouldn't be polite to go to a fair when people are dying.

[evangelic]

The Lilin are frail -- it's an often occurrence. You shouldn't hesitate because of it.

[extradite]

...you don't care, do you. If anyone dies - it's the same to you. You wouldn't even notice.

[evangelic]

More than that, I'd like to create pleasant memories with you. Is that wrong?

[extradite]

[ To himself, now, as if he'd never gone interrupted: ]

And you're selfish. I didn't think you could be... but you are. You're very - you're selfish.

[evangelic]

[A pause, long enough for him to finish and an extended beat after.]

I'll be waiting for you.

[extradite]

...you're not a puppy. Don't act like a wounded puppy. Act like a - be a man.

[evangelic]

You've already mentioned something like that.

[extradite]

[ Paaaaaause. ]

I don't know why. I'm not expecting you to. I wouldn't like you if you did. But... maybe then... maybe then, I'd have a reason not to like you that isn't, 'you lied to me'. Something rational. Sensible. Something other people would agree with.

That's... important. Liking the things other people like. Not liking the things they dislike. Not disliking someone everyone likes. That's why, you're... difficult. Everyone likes you. Everyone you meet. Everyone you talk to. Even Asuka, I bet, if you hadn't said - if it hadn't come up that - I can't dislike you without going up against... everyone.
