Kōzō : It's hot. Gendō: Yes.
Rei: Man fears the darkness, so they chip at its edges with fire.
Shinji: Angels are messengers from God, so why are we fighting angels?
Asuka: I'm the leader so just shut-up and follow me!
Japanese Title: 「静止した闇の中で」- ("Seishi Shita Yami no Naka de") - "In The Still Darkness"
This is the only episode where the pallet gun/rifle kills an Angel, since this Angel's AT field is extremely weak. Every other time a pallet gun has been used, the Angel's AT field has just deflected or nullified the pallet gun's shots.
The Ninth Angel is called Matarael, Angel of Rain. It rains acid out of its large eyeball. More information.
The title is an obvious reference to the 1951 sci-fi/horror film classic The Day the Earth Stood Still.
