Mamimi: Hey there Naota, I'm just reinforcing how creepy I am to the audience.
Naota: I thought you were doing a fine job hanging out at a grade school.  And pay no attention to the skull behind that headband!
Ninamori: Jealousy!
Haruko: Well, the x-rays are back and it looks like you have no brain.  I think now would be a great time for you to sign your medical release form.
Naota: Wait, what's the deal with Canti and Medical Mechanica and you in a nurses outfit? Is this show some kind of expose on the Japanese healthcare system or something?
Haruko: I doubt it. I think Gainex is trying to stay away from obtuse symbolism.  I think they learned their lesson. To wit:
Kamon: Eva! Abnormal advance of science!  Social structure!
Naota: I can see your point.
Mamimi: Man oh man, I am sooo addicted to this game where you burn buildings down, much in the same way buildings around town are being burnt down.
Haruko: Medical Mechanica is mysterious! Just thought I'd add.
Canti: Okay, I'll do an overwrought religious scene, but just this once.
Mamimi: Oh lord of flames, bless me!
Canti: Dang it, I said once!
Gaku: Hey, more burnt buildings.  This is like that fire that burned down Mamimi's school.  Hey, there she is over there with a lot of pent up rage.
Naota: Okay, I guess now is as good a time as any to run the Mamimi arson montage.
Haruko: Hi mysterious authority, just checking in.
Naota: Running a nicotine powered séance eh Mamimi? That's cool.  I especially like how it's at the place you were rescued by my brother.  The barbecue lighter horns are a nice touch.
Mamimi: Kiss me Canti! Bless me with your absolution! 
Naota: Okay, that's just no good.  I'm going to have to sprout another robot if it means putting an end to this.
Robot: RARR!
Canti: Pain!
Haruko: Pain as well!
Canti: Weakening...must...eat...Naota...
Naota: My god, it's full of stars...
Popeye theme: Duh nuh nuh nuh nuuuuuh!
Canti: Kablamo!
Robot: Ai-ai-ai-ai!
Naota: Boo-yeah, take that fears and neuroses! 
Haruko: Ugh, we could have done without that cockpit exit method though.
Mamimi: Eww.
