"My father is a schmuck," said Shinji. "A mensch he isn't."
Distressed, Rei held her hands to her breast and closed her eyes. "Oy, I'm verklempt."
"Such a thing about your father, you shouldn't say," Asuka declared, waving her finger in Shinji's face.
Misato gazed straight out of the page at the reader. "Don't look at me, I'm still a shiksa!" she protested.
"Misato, bubeleh," Ritsuko said, sticking her head in-frame. "The rabbi's here."
Everyone turned to look at Gendo. "Well, if you understand that a Rabbi is not a minister in the conventional sense, but rather a person who has devoted his life to study of certain precepts, and who dispenses judgements in accordence with his understanding of those precepts, then yes, I can be considered a Rabbi."
"He does even have that Kabbalah tree of life painted on the cealing of his office," Ritsuko pointed out helpfully. "The Kabbalah started as a subsect of Judeism."
"You," growled Misato, "Are NOT helping here."
"And your Still a schmuck, Dad""I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."
