Hehe - it's not hard to do :P
In the Story Board Collection from the Evangelion movie boxset (Japan)
there is an alternate line listed for the final dialogue of the film,
The End of Evangelion, spoken by Asuka. The line says, "I'll be damned
if I'm to be killed by the likes of you." (which, in my opinion, worked
okay [Asuka's asserting herself... again :P] - but I like the nuances of
"Kimouchi warui." better).

Eva-lore says Asuka's VA refused to say the line. Anno asked her what
she thought Asuka should say, and thus "Kimouchi warui." came to be.
Asuka says the same line again in the revised episode 22 (although, in
the context of her period (= "I feel sick.").

This line would seem to coincide with one of the alternate endings
scripted for the film.

I believe I scanned that storyboard page a while ago...
*checking*
Ah, here it is:

The highlighted portion is the line. Which clearly doesn't say "Kimouchi
warui." (it starts with Anata) :P
