SCENE:  Terminal Dogma - Gendo and Rei before Lilith
-----------------------------------

Gendo:
Adam and I are now as one... For this is the only way to be with Yui again.
The forbidden joining of Adam and Lilith.

(Rei's arm falls off)

There's no time... Your AT Field can no longer hold your shape.
Let's begin, Rei.
Release your AT Field, the barrier of your heart.
Complement your imperfect heart, leave your useless body...
Merge all souls into one.
And then, take me to Yui's side.

(Gendo places his hand on Rei's left breast and begins to merge with her)

(Rei cringes as waves of pleasure course through her body, a small gasp escapes her lips.)

Ikari...!

What!?

No!... Not the Lance of Longinus!?

At long last our hopes are to be realized.

SEELE 04:
The original Lance of Longinus has returned as well.

With indiscriminate death and prayers, we return to our original state.

And let all souls find peace.
Now, let the sacrament begin!

SCENE:  NERV Command Center
-----------------------------------

Makoto:

Shigeru:
Altitude 12,000 meters! ...and rising!

Fuyutsuki:
SEELE bastards...  Do they plan to use EVA-01 as the well of souls!? ¹

(Eva series release EVA-01... Shinji in entry plug with marks on palms)

To restore the Tree of Life!

SEELE 01:
Our servants, the Eva series...

(Keel appears) Their existence has all been for this one moment.

(Eva series move to the positions of the Sephroticum and shine in circles around the cross of EVA-01)

SCENE:  NERV Command Center)
-----------------------------------

Shigeru (off screen):
The Eva series have opened up their S2 systems!

Makoto (off screen):
Dimensional values inverting!  They're going negative!
Measurement impossible... Numerical expression invalid!

Fuyutsuki:
An anti-AT Field...

(Eva series form into the Sephiroticum (Tree of Life))

Maya:
All the data are just like 15 years ago!
Then... this really is... The prelude to Third Impact!

SCENE:  Outside NERV

S2 system level critical!

Background:
Abort operations!  All units pull back at once!

We... We can't maintain molecular attraction any longer!

JSSDF Commander:
Mission... failed...

(A massive explosion envelopes the Geofront)

SCENE:  NERV Command Center shaking from the force of the explosion
-----------------------------------

Shigeru:
Direct impact!  Surface layers melting!

Makoto:
Second wave excavating the headquarters periphery!  It's exposing the outer hull!

Background:
Main JSSDF force annihilated!

Fuyutsuki:
They're just physical shock waves!
Set the absorbers to maximum level - It should hold!

With the Purification of the Red Earth...
That bespeaks time eternal...

SEELE 11:
First, return the Geofront...

Keel:
To its true form.

(Pull-back shot of the Earth and Lilith's Egg)

Fuyutsuki (off screen):
The egg of Lilith... the genesis of human life... the Black Moon...
We have no desire to return to that empty shell,
(on screen) But even that depends on the will of Lilith.

SCENE:  Terminal Dogma
-----------------------------------

Gendo:
It seems to have begun...
Rei, take me to Yui's side.

(Rei's abdomen tightens around Gendo's hand)

Gendo: What!?

(Rei absorbs Adam's embryo along with Gendo's right arm, and rejects Gendo)

Rei:
I'm not your doll.

Gendo:
Why!?

Rei:
Because I'm not you.

(Rei's arm reforms)

Gendo (strained):
Rei...!
Please!
Wait... Rei!

Rei:
No.  Ikari is calling me.

Gendo:
Rei!

(Rei ascends to Lilith)

Rei:
I'm home...

(Screen text:  Welcome back.)

Rei...

Shigeru:
Unidentified high-energy source approaching rapidly from Terminal Dogma!

Makoto:
AT Field verified!  Analysis pattern blue!!

Maya:
It's not... an Angel!?

Makoto:
No!  It's... a person!?  It's human!

(Lilith-Rei rises through the Command Center... Lilith-Rei's hand passes through Maya, who shrieks in terror)

(Shinji inside the suspended EVA-01)

Shinji:
Damn... Damn... Damn... Damn!

(Lilith-Rei appears)

Shinji:
Ayanami...?  Rei...!?

(Shinji screams as Lilith-Rei focuses on EVA-01 and cups it in her hands)

Shinji: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! AHHHH!!!

SCENE:  SEELE monoliths

All (chanting):
Evangelion Unit 01's pilot...
Complement humankind with your imperfect ego.

Keel:
The moment of the Third Retribution has come.

(Eva series form into pattern)

SCENE:  NERV Command Center
-----------------------------------

Shigeru:
The Eva series' AT Fields are resonating!

Makoto:
And amplifying further!

Fuyutsuki:
Has the assimilation with Rei begun?

(Eva series take Rei's laughing faces... Shinji/EVA-01 scream and EVA-01's core is exposed... Shinji clutches futilely at the controls)

Shinji: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! ASUKA!!! AHHHHHH!!!

Shigeru:
Psychograph signal down!

Makoto:
Destrado² materializing!

Fuyutsuki:
Surely the pilot's ego can't take much more...

SCENE:  Shinji, curled into a ball within Eva-01's entry plug
-----------------------------------

Shinji (whimpering):
No... No... No... No... No... No...!

Kaworu (off screen):
Do you want it to stop?

(Lilith-Kaworu appears)

Shinji:
Is that where you've been?  Kaworu?

(Shinji resigns himself to Kaworu's outstretched hands... The Lance of Longinus approaches EVA-01's core)

SCENE:  NERV Command Center
-----------------------------------

Shigeru:
Solenoid graph inverting!  ego barrier weakening!

Makoto:
AT Field shifting to pattern red!

Fuyutsuki:
The Fruit of Life possessed by Angels,
And the Fruit of Wisdom possessed by humans...

(The Lance penetrates the core and merges with EVA-01 into the Tree of Life)

Fuyutsuki (off screen):
Having obtained them both, EVA-01 has become like a God.
And now it has been restored to the propagule of souls... the Tree of Life.
Will it become the Ark to save humankind from the nothingness of Third Impact?
Or the demon that destroys us all?
Our future lies in the hands of Ikari's son.

Maya (clutching at Shigeru's sleeve):
Did... Did we do the right thing?

Shigeru:
How should I know!?

(Lilith-Kaworu transforms into Lilith-Rei with hands cupped around EVA-01)

Yui (voice):
This Rei is your heart... Your very hopes and dreams...

Rei (voice):
What do you wish for?

SCENE:  Inside Shinji's Mind
(In a park - Shinji as a child)
-----------------------------------

Shinji (voice):
I see... It's just like when I started the cello.
I thought that if I came here, I could find something...

Child A:
Come on, Shinji!

Child B:
Let's build a castle!

Child-Shinji (smiling):
Okay.

Child A:
Oh, here comes Mama!

Child B:
We have to go home now!

Child A:
Bye-bye!

Child A and B (laughing):
Mama... Mama!

(Shinji builds a pyramid (NERV headquarters) alone, and then destroys it... Crying, he starts to build again)

(Random thought sequence - inside Shinji's mind)

Asuka:
Jeeez!  I get so pissed off whenever I look at you!

Shinji:
Because I'm like you...?

Child-Asuka (crying):
Mama!

Asuka (sleep-talking):
Ma... ma...

Shinji (staring at Misato's cross):
Mama...?

Misato (voice):
I wasn't able to become Shinji's mother after all...

(Kaji's and Misato's college apartment)

Misato:
Mmmm, let's do it.

Kaji:
Again?  Aren't you supposed to meet your friend at school today?

Misato:
Hmm?  Oh yeah, Ritsuko.  It's okay, we still have time...

Kaji:
We've been cooped up here for a week now...

Misato:
Yeah, but I think I'm getting the hang of it... so come on...

(The lovemaking begins and continues in the background)

Misato:
I probably just did this to prove that I existed.

Asuka:
How idiotic!  It's just two lonely adults comforting each other.

Ritsuko (precisely):
We want to feel needed, even if it's only physical.

Misato:
I feel wanted, and that makes me happy.

Asuka:
It's just an easy way for you feel that you're worth something.

Shinji (disgusted = thinking):
This is Misato?  She does... this?

Misato:
Yes, this is also me... The melting into one another's hearts...
The me that Shinji doesn't know.
Reality does involve pain, but you just have to accept it.

Asuka:
Aaahh... I wonder if I'll act like Misato when I grow up?

(Shinji and Asuka in Misato's apartment)

Asuka:
Say... wanna kiss?..

Misato:
You mustn't!

Asuka:
Or are you afraid?

Misato:
It's not something kids should do.

Asuka:
Okay, here goes...

Asuka:
You don't understand anything!  Stay away from me!

Shinji:
(Hand twitching) ... I do understand.

Asuka:
No you don't, you IDIOT!
(Asuka kicks Shinji - Shinji's hand convulses)
You really think you understand me!?  You think that you can help me?
That is so ARROGANT!  You couldn't possibly understand me!!

Shinji:
How can I understand... If you don't say anything?
You don't say anything... You don't talk to me...
How can I understand you?  It's IMPOSSIBLE!!

Rei:
Ikari, did you try to understand?

Shinji (sulking):
I tried...

(blue image of Shinji in Asuka's sickroom from 'Air')

Asuka:
Idiot!  I 'know' about your jerk-off fantasies of me.
Do it again like usual...  I'll even stand here and watch.

(Rei, Asuka and Shinji inside an empty train - Asuka standing over Shinji)

Asuka:
If you can't be all mine, then I don't need you!

Shinji:
Then, be nice to me...

Asuka/Misato/Rei:
We are nice to you.

Shinji:
LIARS!!  You're all just hiding behind a smile!
You just want to keep things ambiguous!

Rei:
Because the truth hurts us all... Because it's very, very distressing.

Shinji:
But ambiguity only makes me insecure.³

Rei:
That's just an excuse...

Shinji:
But it makes me afraid...  Afraid that I won't be needed again someday.
It makes me uneasy!  It worries me!  Let me hear your voice!
Interact with me!!
Care about me!!!

(Shinji and Asuka in Misato's apartment - Asuka sitting dejectedly at table)

Shinji:
I want to help you in some way... and to be with you forever.

Asuka:
Then, don't do anything.
Don't come near me anymore... Because all you ever do is hurt me.

Shinji:
Asuka, help me!  You're... you're the only one that can!

Asuka:
Liar...
(Shinji cringes)
To you, anybody will do!
(Asuka gets up from table and backs Shinji up against the wall)
You're afraid of Misato and the First... and of your mother and father, too!

Shinji: Asuka...

Asuka(cont'd):
You're only using me as an escape - because that's the easiest way not to get hurt!

Shinji:
Asuka, help me!

Asuka:
Because that's the easiest way not to get hurt!

Shinji (desperately):
Please, help me!

Asuka (angrily):
You've never really liked anyone!

(Asuka shoves Shinji, who crumples to the floor, taking the coffee pot with him)

Asuka (angrily):
You're all you have!  But you've never even learned to like yourself!!
(staring disdainfully down at Shinji lying helplessly amidst the spilt coffee)
How pathetic...

Shinji (weakly - getting to his feet):
Help me... Somebody... Somebody help me...
Help me... Help me... Me... Help ME!!
(throws the table aside)
Don't leave me alone!  Don't abandon me!  Don't kill me!
(picks up a chair and throws it at Asuka's feet)

Asuka (coldly):
... No...

(Shinji strangles Asuka - Komm Susser Tod (Come Sweet Death) begins to play)

SCENE:  Third Impact
(Psychological scene - Flashing, random shots: crayon drawings of death, fish in a bucket under the sun, a dog lying dead on a street, fish head in a jar...)
(Flashing screen text: "Evangelism", "Dead Sea Scrolls", "Shito", Various episode titles from the TV series, etc.)
-----------------------------------

Shinji:
Nobody understands me.

Rei:
You didn't understand anything.

Shinji:
I thought it was supposed to be a world without unpleasantness... without uncertainity.

Rei:
Because you thought that everyone else was like you.

Shinji:
Betrayed!  You've betrayed my feelings!!

Rei:
You've misunderstood from the start.  You simply assumed without asking.

Shinji:
Nobody wants me.  So, everybody just die.

Rei:
Then, what are those hands for?

Shinji:
Nobody cares whether I exist or not... Nothing will change.
So, everybody just die.

Rei:
Then, what is that heart for?

Shinji:
It'd be better if I wasn't here either.  So I should just die, too.

Rei:
Then, why are you here?

(Shinji as a child, crying with a large travel bag next to him)

Shinji:
Is it okay for me to be here?

(Screen text:  "Silence")

Shinji (screaming):
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

-----------------------------------
SCENE:  NERV Command Center
-----------------------------------

Makoto:
Pilot's response has infinitely approached zero!

Shigeru:
Eva series and Geofront passing through the E layer!  -And still rising!

(Shot of Black Moon rising)

MAGI announcement:
Current altitude 220,000 km.  Entering F layer.

Makoto:
All Eva units - still active!

Shigeru:
The Anti-AT Field from Lilith... it's expanding further!  It's materializing!

(The earth's surface under the Black Moon turns white spreading outwards and Lilith-Rei emerges, cupping the Black Moon in her hands)

Makoto:
Anti-AT Field critical limit exceeded!

Shigeru:
No...!  If this continues, individual life-forms will be unable to maintain their separate entities!

(Lilith-Rei spreads her wings)

Fuyutsuki:
The Chamber of Guf (Hall of Souls) has been unsealed...
Has the door to the world's beginning and end finally opened?

(Souls begin to gather around the Black Moon)

(Countless Reis begin to turn people into LCL)

Rei(s):
The world is overflowing with sadness.
People are surrounded by emptiness... And loneliness has filled their hearts.

(In the Command Center, Makoto is dissolved into LCL by a smiling apparition of Misato... Shigeru dissolves while cowering under the console trying to escape from multiple Reis)

Fuyutsuki (smiling at Yui floating above him like an angel):
Ikari, did you finally meet Yui, too?  (dissolves into LCL)

Maya (hands trembling over keyboard):
AT Fields... Everyone's AT Fields are disappearing.
Is this the answer?  Is this what I was searching for?
(Ritsuko appears- quickly types on Maya's laptop)
(gasp) Dr. Akagi...!?

Ritsuko:
Maya...

Maya:
Ritsuko!  Ritsuko!  Ritsuko!  Ritsuko!  Ahh!

(Maya dissolves into LCL - as her dismembered hand flies across the screen, the words "I need you." are visible on the PC display)

SCENE:  SEELE monoliths vanish one after another
-----------------------------------

SEELE 01:
The beginning and the end are as one.
Good... Everything is as it should be...

(Keel appears... and then dissolves into LCL, leaving behind the mechanical remains of his lower body)

SCENE:  Gendo lying on floor in Terminal Dogma
-----------------------------------

Gendo:
I've been waiting for this moment for so long... To finally be with you again, Yui.
When I'm with Shinji, I only hurt him.  So, it's better that I do nothing.

Yui:
So, you were afraid of Shinji.

Gendo:
I don't believe that I can be loved by others... I'm not worthy of love.

Kaworu:
You're just running away.  You simply reject the world before you get hurt.

Yui:
Afraid of the shapeless, invisible barriers that separate people...

Rei:
You just closed your heart to others.

Gendo:
So, this is my retribution.  Forgive me... Shinji.

(Demon-like EVA-01 bites Gendo in half... Rei II picks up Gendo's fallen glasses. The three clones of Rei stand together.)

(Eva series impale their cores on the Lance replicas with gasps of ecstasy... Countless crosses spring up as a red wave speeds across the earth's surface... Souls flow from the Earth to the Black Moon and then into Lilith-Rei's hands... An eye appears in Lilith-Rei's forehead into which the EVA-01/Lance cross plunges itself and disappears...)

SCENE:  Inside Lilith-Rei - Shinji hears laughing voices and sees countless spirit-Reis flowing towards a red core
-----------------------------------

Shinji:
(gasp)Ayanami... Rei?

(Inside Shinji's mind - Flashing psychological scenes)

Random voices (Asuka, Misato, etc.):
I hate you.  I wouldn't be caught dead with you!  Don't get me wrong... Do you really think I could ever like you?  You have nothing to do with my life anymore.  Get away from me!  ... and don't call me anymore! Stubborn bastard...  Don't follow me around anymore.  Your type makes me sick!  I'm sorry...  (laughter)  We're nothing more than friends. Annoying bastard...  Why don't you learn to give up?  There's no way I'd ever go back to you.  I HATE YOU!  Go away!  (laughter)  It'd be better if you'd never been born.  Dammit, get away from me!  I hate you!
You're a pain in the ass!  (laughter)

(Asuka's voice) Wimp...

(Shinji, lying on his back)

Misato (over Shinji):
If it's that painful, you can stop.

Rei (over Shinji):
If you really don't like it, you can run away.

Misato (voice):
Do you want to be at ease?  To feel at peace?
Do you want to become one with me?
To have our bodies and souls... become one.

Asuka (voice):
But, if I have to be with you, I'd rather die!

(Empty theater - Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude (Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring) begins to play... Real-life scenes of urban Tokyo)

Shinji (voice):
Hey...

Misato (voice):
What?

Shinji (voice):
What are dreams?

Misato (voice):
Dreams?

Rei:
Yes, dreams.

(Packed theater)

(Screen text:  Do you feel good?)

(Three girls standing still in crowd)

Shinji (voice):
I don't understand... I don't really understand reality.

Rei (voice):
So, you can't understand the gap between other's reality and your own truth.

Shinji (voice):
I don't know where to find happiness.

Rei (voice):
So, you can only find happiness in your dreams.

(Crowded street- camera focuses on three individuals; dressed as Misato, Rei, and Asuka)

Shinji (voice):
Then, this isn't reality... Because no one is here.

Rei (voice):
Yes, it's a dream.

Shinji (voice):
So, I'm not here either.

Rei (voice):
You were trying to remake reality with convenient fantasies.

Shinji (voice):
Is that wrong?

Rei (voice):
You were using fabrications to escape from reality.

Shinji (voice):
Can't I dream alone?

Rei (voice):
That would not be a dream.  It would just be compensating for reality.

(Packed theater -> empty theater)

Shinji (voice):
Then... where is my dream?

Rei (voice):
It is the continuation of reality.

Shinji (voice):
Where is... my reality?

Rei (voice):
It is at the end of your dream.

(Flashing Japanese text and images)

SCENE:  Blood/LCL gushes from Lilith-Rei's neck as she leans backwards
Shinji and Rei merged together in the sea of LCL
-----------------------------------

Shinji:
Ayanami... where are we?

Rei:
This is the sea of LCL... The primordial soup of life.
A world without AT Fields... without your own shape.
An ambiguous world where it is impossible to tell where you end and other people start.
A fragile world where you exist everywhere, and thus exist nowhere.

Shinji:
Have I died?

Rei:
No, everything has just been joined into one.
This is the world you have been hoping for... your world.

Shinji (releasing Misato's cross from his left hand):
But... this isn't right.  I don't think this is right.

Rei:
If you wish once more for the existence of others, the barriers of the heart will separate everyone once more... And the fear of other people will begin again.

Shinji:
That's all right...
(disengages Rei from him and clasps her hand)
Thank you.

(Shinji and Rei, Shinji's head lying in Rei's lap)

Shinji:
I feel that there were only hateful things there.
So I'm sure it was okay to run away.
But there was nothing good in the place I ran to, either.
After all, I didn't exist there... which is the same as no one existing.

Kaworu:
Is it okay for AT Fields to hurt you and others once more?

Shinji:
I don't mind.  But, what are you two within my heart?

Rei:
Hope.  The hope that people might be able to understand one another.

Kaworu:
And the words 'I love you'.

Shinji:
But that's just pretending - a self-intoxicating belief... like a prayer.
It can't possibly last forever.
Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me.
Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real.

SCENE:  Shinji rejects Human Instrumentality, Lilith-Rei collapses backwards and her wings vanish... EVA-01 breaks out from Lilith-Rei's eye and grows wings... The Black Moon divides into sections and explodes, showering Lilith-Rei with LCL which falls to Earth and spreads outward...)
-----------------------------------

Kaworu:
Reality is in an unfamiliar place, and dreams are within reality.

Rei:
And the truth is within your heart.

(Lilith-Rei's body begins to fall apart)

Kaworu:
For it is the hearts of people that create their appearance.

Rei:
And new images will change peoples' hearts and appearances.
Images... the power of imagination... The power to create your own future, and to make time flow.

Kaworu:
But people must act of their own free will, or nothing will change at all.

Rei:
So you must find your lost self on your own...
Even if you lose your own words, or become lost in others' words.

(EVA-01 grasps and splits the Lance of Longinus... The Lances impaling the Eva series burst and disappear)

Rei:
Anyone can return to human form as long as they can imagine themselves
in their own heart.

(The Eva series go silent and fall to Earth... Crosses rise into the heavens)

Yui (voice):
Don't worry.
All living things have the ability to return to their original form... and the heart to go on living.
Anywhere can be heaven as long as you have the will to live.
After all, you're alive... and you can find the chance to achieve happiness anywhere.

(Rei appears before the now silent EVA-01... EVA-01, the Lance, and millions of crosses continue to ascend into space)

Yui (voice):
As long as the Sun, the Moon and the Earth exist, everything will be all right.

SCENE:  Water drop- Yui caressing Shinji's cheek
-----------------------------------

Yui:
So, you'll be okay now?

Shinji:
I still don't know where to find happiness...
But I'll continue to think about whether it's good to be here... whether it was good to have been born.
But in the end, it's just realizing the obvious over and over again.
Because I am myself.

(Shinji emerges from the sea of LCL... Lilith-Rei's head splits)

Shinji:
But mother... what will you do?

(Flashback to 13 years ago - Fuyutsuki, Yui and infant-Shinji)

Fuyutsuki:
Humans create Evangelion to copy God... Is this our true goal?

Yui:
Yes.  Humans can only live on this planet, but Evangelion can live forever... together with the human soul that dwells within it.

(EVA-01 and the Lance of Longinus float in space)

Even after 5 billion years, when the Earth, the Moon, and even the Sun have disappeared, it will still exist as long as even one person still lives. It will be very lonely, but as long as that one person still lives...

Fuyutsuki:
It will be the eternal proof that humankind has existed...

Shinji:
Good-bye, mother.

-----------------------------------
TITLE SCREEN - THE END OF EVANGELION
ONE MORE FINAL: I need you.
-----------------------------------

SCENE:  Lilith-Rei's split head... Misato's cross nailed to post... Silent Eva series stand crucified in a LCL ocean... Waves of LCL gently lapping at the shore... Asuka and Shinji lie side by side on the beach... Shinji turns to see Rei standing over the LCL sea - then Rei vanishes... Shinji moves over Asuka begins to strangle her, but with a caress of his cheek, she stops him and he starts sobbing uncontrollably.
-----------------------------------

Asuka:
How disgusting.

(Screen text: Fin)

-blank screen-

Notes:

1- Literally, "as a medium"

2- Destrado:
    According to the theory advocated by E.Weiss, the energy of the self-destructive impulse.
    It is the antonym of Libido. Its meaning is different from the energy of "Instinct of Death",
    advocated by P. Federn, the master of Moltedor-Weiss.

3- Literally, "pushes me into a corner"

'Ego': The barrier of another or one's self.

"blank screen": In the original Japanese release of the film, after the screen text, 'Fin.' is shown, the screen goes completely black and no ending credits are shown.  Audiences waited in the cinema for around 5 minutes to make sure the film was really over.
