      Naoko Akagi: Did you need me for something, Rei?

      Rei Ayanami: I lost my way, doctor.

      Naoko Akagi: Is that so? Well, do you want to come with me then?

      Rei Ayanami: No thanks.

      Naoko Akagi: But how will you get home all by yourself?

      Rei Ayanami: That's none of your business, old hag.

      Naoko Akagi: Old hag?

      Rei Ayanami: I can find my way home by myself, old hag.

      Naoko Akagi: Uh... you shouldn't call someone and old hag, Rei.

      Rei Ayanami: But you're an old hag, aren't you?

      Naoko Akagi: I'm getting mad. Commander Ikari will spank you for this, you little...

      Rei Ayanami: But the commander is the one who calls you that. He says "That old hag is annoying. That old hag is no use anymore."

    My head is gonna explode.
    There is a lot of informations in this episode than usual.

    It's like every sentence is important and we need to remember all of that.

    Still a good episode, but definitely a re-watch one.
