Manga messed up the translation in many ways, but Asuka's final line
is consistent with the translation Bochan sent them/is on EvaOtaku.
There was much talk about how to get the line right without narrowing
the nuances of it down. "How disgusting." was what was settled upon as
it retained the vagueness that was in the original.

Actually, that is about the only thing Manga got right with that goddamn DVD.
