Shutdown Over, Senators Still Cash In

Mako

Shinji! The government's back open!

Shinji

Does... does that mean our flight's not cancelled?

Mako

Wait... there's something about senators being able to sue for half a million...

Shinji

What? For what?

Mako

For subpoenas. Their phone records. They can sue the government.

Shinji

At least when I was piloting Eva, the corruption was honest corruption...

Mako

Want to go back to simpler times? I could electrocute some politicians for you.

Shinji

Please don't. We'd just have to pay their lawsuits too.
