Shin Seiki Evangelion - 8: Asuka Strikes!

Title:Shin Seiki Evangelion
Episode:8: Asuka Strikes!
Synopsis
Misato, Shinji, Toji and Kensuke travel to meet with a ship transporting EVA-02 and its pilot. The girl, named Soryu Asuka Langley, is half-Japanese, half-German and rather obnoxious towards boys, especially Shinji and his macho friend Toji. However, she is one hot and show-off EVA pilot and proves it when the escort fleet gets attacked by a marine-type Angel. Even as good as Asuka is, though, many ships are destroyed and the only way to save the rest of them and EVA-02 is a very risky maneuver devised by Misato. Meanwhile, Kyoji Kagi, one of NERV's high-ranking personnel and Misato's ex-boyfriend, meets with Gendo Ikari and gives him a sample fetus of what could very well be an Angel!...

Comments
This one seemed rather silly to me. A desperate, last-ditch plan is devised on the spur of the moment, yet everything works like a charm. At least it contained what has got to be the funniest line of the show so far!* One more question:

What was that fetus-like thing that Ryoji delivered to Gendo (and where did he get it)? I didn't write down exactly what he said, but did Gendo describe it as the "first human" (or something like that)? (see episode 27 of Shin Seiki Evangelion for an answer.)

*"It's overpriced, but no matter--here's your change!" --Toji
