  • Hank Pym: I took on a young protégé called Darren Cross.

    Scott Lang: Darren Cross. He's a big deal.

He was brilliant, but as we became close he began to suspect that I wasn't telling him everything. He heard rumors about what was called the Pym Particles, and he became obsessed with recreating my formula. But I wouldn't help him so he conspired against me and he voted me out of my own company.

    Hank Pym: The board's chairman is my daughter, Hope. She was the deciding vote.

    [cut to Luis whistling]

  • Darren Cross: All those years ago, you picked me. What did you see in me?

  • [first lines]

    Hank Pym: Stark!

    Howard Stark: He doesn't seem happy. Hello, Hank. You're supposed to be in Moscow.

    Hank Pym: I took a detour... Through your defense lab.

    [slams a vial of Pym particles on table]

    Peggy Carter: Tell me that isn't what I think it is.

    Hank Pym: That depends if you think it's a poor attempt to replicate my work. Even for this group, that takes nerve.

    Mitchell Carson: You were instructed to go to Russia. May I remind you, Dr. Pym, that you're a soldier...

    Hank Pym: I'm a scientist.

    Howard Stark: Then act like one. The Pym Particle is the most revolutionary science ever developed. Help us put it to good work.

    Hank Pym: I let you turned me into your errand boy, and now you try to steal my research?

    Mitchell Carson: If only you'd protected Janet with such ferocity, Dr. Pym.

    Hank Pym: Ah...

    [Pym slams Carson's head into a desk]

    Peggy Carter: Easy, Hank!

    Hank Pym: You mention my wife again, and I'll show you ferocity.

    Howard Stark: [as Carson stares at him] Don't look at me. You said it.

  • Hank Pym: I formally tender my resignation.

    Howard Stark: We won't accept it... formally. Hank, we need you. The Pym Particle is a miracle. Please, don't let your past determine the future.

    Scott Lang: Wait, his name is 247?

    Hank Pym: He doesn't have a name, he has a number, Scott. Do you have any idea how many ants there are?

  • Hank Pym: Do not screw with the regulator. If that regulator is compromised you would go sub-atomic.

    Scott Lang: What does that mean?

    Hank Pym: It means that you would enter a quantum realm.

    Scott Lang: What does that mean?

    Hank Pym: It means that you would enter a reality where all concepts of time and space become irrelevant as you shrink for all eternity. Everything that you know, and love, gone forever.

    Scott Lang: Cool. Yeah. I'm... If it ain't broke...

  • Luis: Thank you for the coffee ma'am. It's not too often that you rob a place, and then get welcomed back. Because we just robbed you!

    Hope Van Dyne: You know that he was arrested for stealing a smoothie machine, right?

    Luis: Two smoothie machines.

  • Kurt: The Ant-Man is in the building.

  • Luis: We're the good guys right?

    Scott Lang: Yeah, we're the good guys.

    Luis: Feels kinda, kinda weird, y'know.

    Scott Lang: Yeah. But we're not done yet...

  • [last lines]

    Luis: Yeah, this dude sounds like a bad-ass, man. Like he comes up to him and he says, y'know: I'm looking for this dude who's mo' unseen, who's flashing this fresh tat, who's got, like, bomb moves, right? Who you got? She's like: Well, we got everything nowadays. We got a guy who jumps, we got a guy who swings, we got a guy who crawls up the walls, you gotta be more specific. And he's like: I'm looking for a guy who shrinks. And I'm like: Daaamn! I got all nervous, 'cause I keep mad secrets for you, bro. So I asked Ignacio: Did bad-ass tell the stupid fine writer chick, to tell you, to tell me, because I'm tight with that man that he's looking for him?

    Scott Lang: And? What'd he say?

    Luis: He said yes.

  • Scott Lang: We need a fake security guard on the inside, somebody else to hack into the power supply, and a getaway guy.

    Hank Pym: No, no, no, not those three wombats!

  • Scott Lang: Scott Lang: Hank, didn't you say this was some old warehouse? Its not! You son of a bitch!

  • [First Lines]

    Young Pym: [walks into a S.H.I.E.L.D. Office in 1989, where Howard Stark, Peggy Carter, and Mitchell Carson are sitting] Stark!

    Howard Stark: [mutters] He doesn't seem happy. Hello, Hank! You're supposed to be in Moscow.

    Young Pym: I took a detour...

    [slams a remade Pym Particle on the table]

    Young Pym: ... through your defense lab.

    Peggy Carter: Tell me that isn't what I think it is.

    Young Pym: That depends if you think it's a poor attempt to replicate my work. Even for this group, that takes nerve.

    Mitchell Carson: You were instructed to go to Russia. May I remind you, Dr. Pym, that you're a soldier...

    Young Pym: I let you turn me into your errand boy, and now you try to steal my research?

    Mitchell Carson: If only you'd protected Janet with such ferocity, Dr. Pym.

    Young Pym: Ah...

    [slams Carson's face into his desk, bloodying his nose]

    Peggy Carter: [holds Pym back] Easy, Hank!

    Young Pym: [points at Carson] You mention my wife again, and I'll show you ferocity.

    Howard Stark: [to Carson after he looks at him] Don't look at me, you said it.

    Young Pym: I formally tender my resignation.

    Howard Stark: We don't except it. Formally. Hank, we need you. The Pym Particle is a miracle. Please. Don't let your past determine the future.

    Young Pym: As long as I am alive, nobody will ever get that formula.

    [leaves]

    Mitchell Carson: We shouldn't let him leave the building.

    Peggy Carter: You've already lied to him, now you want to go to war with him?

    Mitchell Carson: Yes! Our scientists haven't come close to replicating his work.

    Howard Stark: He just kicked your ***, full-size. You really want to find out what it's like when you can't see him coming? I've known Hank Pym for a long time, he's no security risk. Unless we make him one.

  • Luis: [Scott is just released from prison] Scotty! What's up, man? Dang, hey!

    Scott Lang: Ha ha! Hey, man!

    Luis: Hey, what's up with your eye?

    Scott Lang: Oh. Well, what do you think? Peachy. It's a going-away present.

    Luis: Oh, yeah. I still got my scar from a year ago!

    Scott Lang: Oh, yeah.

    Luis: Yeah. You know what? I'm still the only one who knocked him out.

    Scott Lang: Well, I definitely didn't.

  • Scott Lang: Welcome to Baskin-Robbins, would you like to try our Mango Fruit Blast?

  • Hope Van Dyne: [to Scott] When you're small, energy's compressed, so you have the force of a 200-pound man behind a fist a 100th of an inch wide. You're like a bullet. You punch too hard, you kill someone, too soft, it's a love tap. In other words, you have to know how to punch.

    Scott Lang: I was in prison for three years, I know how to punch.

    Hope Van Dyne: Show me.

    [Scott punches her hand]

    Hope Van Dyne: Terrible.

    Scott Lang: You wanna show me how to punch?

    [lifts his hand up]

    Scott Lang: Show me...

    Hope Van Dyne: [punches Scott in the face, knocking him down] That's how you punch.

  • Hope Van Dyne: [to Scott] Alright, princess. Let's get back to work.

  • Hank Pym: [Scott is about to steal tech from the Avengers Headquarters] He's gonna lose the suit.

    Hope Van Dyne: He's gonna lose his life.

  • Hank Pym: [watching Ant-Man on the monitor] Abort, Scott! Abort now!

    Scott Lang: It's okay. He can't see me.

    Scott Lang: He can see me.

  • Scott Lang: [serves a teenager customer at Baskin-Robbins] Welcome to Baskin-Robbins. Would you like to try our Mango Fruit Blast?

    Ice Cream Store Customer: Uh, no thanks. Um... I will have, I'll have a burger, please.

    Scott Lang: Oh, we don't, we don't make that.

    Ice Cream Store Customer: Pretzel. Hot pretzel, like mustard... do you have mustard dip?

    Scott Lang: It's ice cream! Baskin-Robbins.

    Ice Cream Store Customer: [becoming exasperated] I'll just do, like, whatever's hot and fresh.

    Scott Lang: Dude.

    Dale: [to Scott from his office] Can I see you in the back, chief? Pronto.

    Scott Lang: Sure thing, Dale. Darby, could you just, uh, take care of this idiot? Thanks.

  • Paxton: [after Scott escapes from prison] Where the heck did he go?

  • Darren Cross: What do you call the only man who can arm the most powerful weapon in the world?

    Hank Pym: The most powerful man in the world.

    Darren Cross: You proud of me yet?

  • Mitchell Carson: Here we go.

  • Hope Van Dyne: [to Cross as he's about to shoot Pym; has a gun pointed at Cross] Drop... your... gun.

  • Hank Pym: You need to be skillful, agile, and above all, you need to be fast. You should be able to shrink and grow on a dime. So your size always suits your needs.

  • Hank Pym: [after Hope trains and punches Scott in the face] She's been looking forward to this.

    Scott Lang: No kidding.

    Hank Pym: Hope trained in martial arts at a difficult time.

    Hope Van Dyne: Oh, by "difficult time," he means when my mother died.

    Hank Pym: We lost her in a plane crash.

    Hope Van Dyne: It's bad enough you won't tell me how she died, could you please stop telling me that lie? We're working here.

    [to Scott]

    Hope Van Dyne: Alright, princess, let's get back to work.

    Scott Lang: Were you going for the hand?

  • Hank Pym: You can stop this, Darren. It's not too late.

    Darren Cross: It's been too late for a long time now.

    [his HYDRA buyers turn their guns on Pym]

    Hope Van Dyne: Darren! What are you doing?

    Darren Cross: He wasn't any more capable of caring for you than he was for me.

    Hope Van Dyne: This is not who you are. It's the particles altering your brain chemistry.

    Darren Cross: [HYDRA is about to shoot Pym; lunges in front of them] Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait. You're right. I have to be the one to do it.

    [turns his gun on Pym]

    Hope Van Dyne: [elbows a HYDRA buyer and grabs his gun, pointing it at Cross as the HYDRA buyers turn their guns on her]

    Darren Cross: You picked the wrong side, Hope!

    Scott Lang: [smashes through his "prison" and knocks down all the HYDRA buyers]

  • Mitchell Carson: Long time no see, Dr. Pym. How's retirement?

    Hank Pym: How's your face?

  • Luis: Okay. I was at a wine tasting with my cousin Ernesto, which was mainly reds, and you know I don't love reds man, you know? But there was a rosé that saved the day, it was delightful. And he tells me about this girl Emily that we used to kick it with, it was actually the first pair of boobs that I ever touched.

    Scott Lang: It's the wrong details. It's wrong... It has nothing to do with the story. Go!

    Luis: So, uh, he tells me that she's working as a housekeeper now, right? And she's dating this dude Carlos who's a shot caller from across the bay and she tells him about the dude that she's cleaning for. Right? That he's, like, this big-shot CEO that is all retired now but he's loaded. And so, Carlos and Ernesto are on the same softball team and they get to talking, right? And here comes the good part. Carlos says: "Yo, man. This guy's got a big-ass safe just sitting in the basement, just chillin'." Of course Ernesto comes to me cause he knows I've got mad thieving skills. Of course I ask him: "Did Emily tell Carlos to tell you to get to me what kind of safe it was? And he says: "Nah, dog. All she said is that it's, like, super legit, and whatever's in it has gotta be good!

    Scott Lang: What?

    Kurt: Old man have safe.

    Luis: And he's gone for a week.

    Scott Lang: Alright. There's an old man, he's got a safe, and he's gone for a week. Let's just work with that.

    Luis: Y'know what I'm sayin'?

    Paxton: Of course sweetheart, it's your birthday.

    [Cassie pulls out a Hideous Rabbit]

    Hideous Rabbit: You're my bestest friend!

    Paxton: What is that thing?

    Cassie Lang: He's so ugly! I love him! Can I go show my friends?

  • Luis: Hey, if the job goes bad, you know I got your back, right?

    Scott Lang: Don't worry. It's not gonna happen.

    Luis: [snickering with Dave as Scott leaves] I love it when he gets cocky.

  • Hank Pym: [mid-credits scene] There's something I want to show you. I realized you can't destroy power. All you can do is make sure that it's in the right hands.

    [unveiling the Wasp suit]

    Hank Pym: This is an advanced prototype that your mother and I worked on together. She never got to use it. But now I realize that we were... we were working on it for you. Maybe it's time we finished it.

    Hope Van Dyne: [smiling to herself] It's about damn time.

  • Darren Cross: Did you think you could stop the future with a heist?

    Ant-Man: It was never just a heist!

  • Paxton: Get out of that van!

    Luis: What?

    Paxton: Get out of that van!

    Luis: It's too loud, there's a tank. I can't hear you!

  • Dave: Looks like Pym's getting arrested.

    Kurt: Scott, we have problem.

    Scott Lang: Problem? What's the problem?

    Kurt: [Dave gets out of the van] Dave! Dave, that's not part of plan!

    Hank Pym: [talking to Paxton and Gale] Listen to me. If I don't get into this building, people will die.

    Gale: That's awfully dramatic.

    Paxton: [their squad car peels out, siren blaring] Are you kidding me?

    Kurt: Problem solved.

  • Sam Wilson: [after losing a fight to Scott] It's really important to me that Cap never finds out about this.

  • Hank Pym: That was completely irresponsible and dangerous! You jeopardized everything!

    Hope Van Dyne: [Scott sets the signal decoy on the counter] You got it.

    Hank Pym: Well done.

    Scott Lang: Wait a minute. Did you just compliment me? He did, didn't he?

    Hope Van Dyne: Kinda sounded like he did.

    Hank Pym: I was good, wasn't I?

    Scott Lang: Hey, how about the fact that I fought an Avenger and didn't die?

  • Hank Pym: The final phase of your training will be a stealth incursion.

    Ant-Man: It's freezing! You couldn't make a suit with a flannel lining?

  • Hank Pym: Your mother convinced me to let her join me on my... missions. They called her the Wasp. She was born to it. And there's not a day that goes by that I don't regret having said yes. It was 1987. Separatists had hijacked a Soviet missile silo in Kursk and launched an ICBM at the United States. The only way to the internal mechanics was through solid titanium. I knew I had to shrink between the molecules to disarm the missile. But my regulator has sustained too much damage. Your mother, she didn't hesitate. She turned off her regulator and went subatomic to deactivate the bomb. And she was gone. Your mom died a hero. And I spent the next ten years trying to learn all I could about the quantum realm.

    Hope Van Dyne: [crying] You were trying to bring her back.

    Hank Pym: But all I learned was we know nothing.

    Hope Van Dyne: It's not your fault. She made her choice. But why didn't you tell me that sooner?

    Hank Pym: I was trying to protect you. I lost your mother. I didn't mean to lose you, too.

  • Scott Lang: Sir, I'm sorry I stole the suit. I don't even wanna know why you have it.

    Hank Pym: Maggie was right about you.

    Scott Lang: How do you know about...

    Hank Pym: No wonder she's trying to keep you away from Cassie. The moment things get hard, you turn right back to crime. The way I see it, you have a choice. You can either spend the rest of your life in prison, or go back to your cell and await further instructions.

    Scott Lang: I don't understand.

    Hank Pym: No, I don't expect you to. But you don't have many options right now, and quite frankly, neither do I. Why do you think I let you steal that suit in the first place?

    Scott Lang: What?

    [flashback showing Hank setting things in motion]

    Hank Pym: Second chances don't come around all that much. So next time you think you might see one, I suggest you take a real close look at it.

  • Scott Lang: [after his boss learns about his criminal record] Dale, look, it wasn't a violent crime. I mean, I'm a good worker.

    Dale: No, it wasn't a violent crime. It was a cool crime. I'll tell you what, though. This will be totally off the books, off the records, but, uh, if you want to grab one of those, uh, Mango Fruit Blasts on your way out the door, I'll just pretend I didn't see it.

  • Scott Lang: [in a prison fight] You didn't even move.

    Peachy: Nah.

    Scott Lang: Okay, what if I come in on the left side, right? Just down here. You see this right here?

    [he slugs Peachy in the face; wiping blood from his lip, Peachy grins]

    Peachy: I'm gonna miss you, Scott.

    Scott Lang: I'm gonna miss you, too, Peachy. Man, you guys got the weirdest goodbye rituals.

  • Scott Lang: Thanks for the hook-up, too. I needed a place to stay.

    Luis: You wait 'till you see this couch. You're gonna be really happy. You're gonna be on your feet in no time. Watch.

    Scott Lang: I hope so.

    Luis: Yeah. And I gotta introduce you to some people. Some really skilled people.

    Scott Lang: Not interested.

    Luis: Yeah, right.

    Scott Lang: No, I'm serious, man. I'm not going back. I got a daughter to take care of.

    Luis: You know that jobs don't come easy for ex-cons, right?

    Scott Lang: Look, man, I got a master's in electrical engineering, all right? I'm gonna be fine.

    [cut to him working at Baskin Robbins]

  • Luis: That's Kurt. He was Folsom for five years. He's a wizard on that laptop.

    Kurt: Nice meet you.

    Scott Lang: Yeah, nice to meet you, too. Who are you?

    Dave: Dave. Nice work on the Vista job.

    Kurt: Vista job, yes. No, no. I have heard of this robbery.

    Scott Lang: Well, technically, I didn't rob them. Robbery involves threat. I hate violence. I burgled them. I'm a cat buglar.

    Dave: You mean you're a pussy.

    Scott Lang: Yeah.

  • Hope Van Dyne: Good morning, Hank.

    Hank Pym: Hope. Would it kill you to call me "dad"?

  • Hank Pym: The process is highly volatile. If one isn't protected by a specialized helmet, it can affect the brain's chemistry. I don't think Darren realizes this, and, you know, he's not the most stable guy to begin with.

    Scott Lang: So, what do you want from me?

    Hank Pym: Scott, I believe that everyone deserves a shot at redemption. Do you?

    Scott Lang: I do.

    Hank Pym: If you can help me, I promise I can help you be with your daughter again. Now, are you ready to redeem yourself?

  • Hope Van Dyne: [Scott gets into her car's passenger seat] Oh, god.

    Scott Lang: You gotta lock your doors. I mean, really, there's some weird folks in this neighborhood.

    Hope Van Dyne: Do you think this is a joke? Do you have any idea what he's asking you to risk? You have a daughter.

    Scott Lang: I'm doing this for her.

    Hope Van Dyne: You know when my mother died, I didn't see him for two weeks.

    Scott Lang: He was in grief.

    Hope Van Dyne: Yeah, so was I, and I was seven. And he never came back. Not in any way that counted. He just sent me off to boarding school. You know, I thought, with all that's at stake, just maybe we might have a chance of making peace. But even now, he still wants to shut me out.

    Scott Lang: He doesn't want to shut you out. He trusts you.

    Hope Van Dyne: Then why are you here?

    Scott Lang: It proves that he loves you. Hope, look at me. I'm expendable. That's why I'm here. You must have realized that by now. I mean, it's why I'm in the suit and you're not. He'd rather lose this fight than lose you.

  • Scott Lang: Maggie, I tell you this as a friend, and as the first love of my life, your fiancé is an ass-hat.

    Maggie Lang: He's not an ass-hat.

    Paxton: Hey, watch your language. Okay?

    Scott Lang: Oh, what language? I said hat.

  • Hank Pym: Darren. How the hell did you get in here?

    Yellowjacket: You left the front door open, Hank. It's official. You're old.

  • Hope Van Dyne: Are you sure they can handle this?

    Luis: Oh we can handle it, we're professionals.

    Hank Pym: You'll forgive us if we're not instilled with confidence.

    Dave: Wait, everybody. Just kick back and relax a little bit, man. We know our business. We broke into this spooky-ass house, didn't we?

    Hank Pym: I let you.

    Dave: Well, one could say that I let you let me.

  • Hope Van Dyne: [Referring to a napping Luis, Dave and Kurt] I gave them each half a Xanax and Hank explained the science of the suit to them. Fell right asleep.

  • Scott Lang: Alright, just so we're clear, everyone here knows their role, right? Dave?

    Dave: Wheels on the ground.

    Scott Lang: Kurt?

    Kurt: Eyes in the sky.

    Scott Lang: Luis?

    Luis: Aw, man, you know it. You know what, I get to wear a uniform, that's what's up.

    Scott Lang: Luis.

    Luis: I'm sorry, I mean, I'm good, I'm good. I'm just excited, and plus you're girlfriend's really hot, so you know that makes me nervous too.

    [to Hope]

    Luis: And you are very beautiful, ma'am.

    Hank Pym: Oh, my lord.

    Scott Lang: She's not my...

    Luis: Hey, you know what? I was thinking of a tactic, like when I go undercover, like a whistling, you know I'm saying? To like, blend in.

    Scott Lang: No, don't whistle. No whistling. It's not the Andy Griffith Show. No whistling.

  • Yellowjacket: You tried to hide your technology from me, and now it's gonna blow up in your face.

    [Pym punches Cross in the face]

    Yellowjacket: Wow. Wow! I mean, I saw the punch coming a mile away but I just figured it'd be all pathetic and weak.

    Hank Pym: Well you figured wrong.

  • Paxton: Freeze!

    Dave: Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute! there was a black guy that looked exactly like me who attacked us and put us in the back of this disgusting van.

  • Scott Lang: Yeah, I don't know what you're doing grabbing me and kissing me like that. I was a little surprised myself. I have to get somewhere. I'll see you later, Hank. Really, Hope.

    Hank Pym: Scott.

    Scott Lang: Yeah?

    Hank Pym: You're full of shit.

    Scott Lang: Oh, yeah.
