Shinji’s Fiancée Storms Gendo’s Office

Gendo

The complaints about your performance are becoming tiresome.

Shinji

(His fingers are tapping... that's never good...)

Gendo

Without angels to fight, you've become directionless. A waste of potential.

Gendo

Perhaps I was wrong to ever rely on you.

Shinji

(He's right... I'm nothing without Eva...)

Mako

That's enough! How dare you speak to him like that!

Gendo

Who are you to interrupt—

Shinji

M-Makoto! What are you doing here?

Shinji

She's... she's my fiancée!

Gendo

(This... this girl is...?)

Gendo

Explain this immediately! How long has this... relationship been going on?

Mako

Since I caught your precious Asuka tormenting him after training.

Mako

Someone had to show Shinji he deserves kindness.

Shinji

(She's the only one who sees me as more than a pilot...)

Mako

That night we shared everything... including my truth about who I really am.

Gendo

(This girl is... this is beyond unacceptable...)

Shinji

She's real with me! Not like Asuka's cruelty or Kaworu's lies!

Shinji

Makoto loves me for who I am!

Gendo

Then you're no son of mine. You're fired from NERV effective immediately.

Gendo

Leave this facility and never return.

Mako

That's the best news we've heard all day. Come Shinji, I got a place just for us.

Gendo

(Seventeen million views in twelve hours?)

Gendo

The boy has gone completely rogue.

Mako

Keep filming, Shinji. This is gold.

Mako

Let's show the world what NERV really thinks of its heroes.

Shinji

My dad fired me because of who I love. Let that bastard fry in the comment section.

Gendo

Damn it all! I should have never brought that sensitive cur into NERV. At this rate the shareholders will fire me.

Mako

Serves you right you bigoted bitter old man.

Shinji

Father we can end this right here.

Shinji

If you pay for the wedding then I'll retract what I said.

Gendo

(He's... he's actually shaking me down. I'm so proud.) You cheeky bastard...

Mako

Come on, Shinji. Let's go plan our wedding.

Mako

After all your dad's gonna pay.

Gendo

The venue alone costs more than my annual salary. This is extortion.

Mako

You want to get buried again on Bluesky? Run them duckets boy.

Shinji

(She's really pushing him... what if he snaps again?)

Gendo

This is madness! A charity donation on top of everything else?

Mako

The Trevor Project saves lives. Unlike your organization that nearly ended humanity.

Gendo

(She knows about SEELE... about everything. I have no choice.) Fuck it, consider it done. (My daughter in law takes no crap eh?)

Shinji

Makoto... you actually made my father surrender completely.

Mako

Sign the check, commander. And maybe... just maybe... we'll invite you to the reception Father in law.
