Ant-Man

[from trailer]

Hank Pym:
Scott, I've been watching you for a while, now. You're different. Now, don't let anyone tell you that you have nothing to offer.

[from trailer]

Hank Pym:
[to Scott] Second chances don't come around all that often. I suggest you take a really close look at it. This is your chance to earn that look in your daughter's eyes, to become the hero that she already thinks you are.

[from trailer]

Hank Pym:
[to Scott] It's not about saving our world. It's about saving THEIRS. [Scott looks at his daughter]

[from trailer]

Hank Pym:
Scott, I need you to be the Ant-Man.

Scott Lang:
One question... Is it too late to change the name?

Darren Cross:
[at a function] Imagine a soldier the size of an insect, the ultimate secret weapon...

Hank Pym:
[to Hope] You give godlike powers to everyone, it's gonna be chaos!

Hope Van Dyne:
So how do we stop him?

Hank Pym:
I know a guy...

Scott Lang:
My days of breaking into places and stealing sh*t are over! What do you need me to do?

Hank Pym:
...I want you to break into a place and steal some sh*t.

Scott Lang:
...makes sense.

Yellowjacket:
You think you can stop the future? You're just a thief!

Scott Lang:
No, I'm the Ant-Man!... I know, it wasn't my idea.

Hope Van Dyne:
[to Scott] The suit has power, and you have to learn how to control it... and these are your greatest allies. [Scott meets an ant]

Darren Cross:
You tried to hide your suit from me, now, it's gonna blow up in your face, and destroy everyone you care about.

Scott Lang:
Pick on someone your own size!

Cassie Lang:
Daddy, is that you?

Scott Lang:
Hi, peanut!

Scott Lang:
Sorry I'm late, I was saving the world. You know how it is.

[Scott shrinks himself]

Hank Pym:
The world sure seems different from down here, doesn't it, Scott?

Scott Lang:
Who said that?

Hank Pym:
It's a trial by fire, Scott... or in this case, water. [the bathtub fills with water, and Scott jumps out]

Hank Pym:
Guess you're tougher than you thought.

Yellowjacket:
I am going to disintegrate you! [plays the Siri track "Disintegration" and attacks Lang]

Scott Lang:
[Surrounded by police] Wait I didn't steal anything! I was returning something I stole!

Cassie Lang:
Mommy, is daddy a bad man? I heard some grown-ups talking. They said he was bad.

Maggie Lang:
No, he's not bad. Daddy just gets confused sometimes, you know?

Cassie Lang:
Are you trying to find my daddy?

Paxton:
Uh, yeah I am, sweetheart. I just want your daddy to be safe.

Cassie Lang:
Hope you don't catch him.

Scott Lang:
I think we should call the Avengers.

Sam Wilson:
I know a guy.

Scott Lang:
[Demonstrating his Ant-Man suit to his crew for the first time] Now, look. This is gonna get weird, all right? It's pretty freaky, but it's safe. There's no reason to be scared.

Luis:
Oh, no no. Daddy don't get scared.

Scott Lang:
Really?

Luis:
Yeah.

Scott Lang:
Good. [Closes his helmet and pushes the button that shrinks him]

Kurt:
[Gasps, jumps out of chair] This is the work of gypsies!

Dave:
That's witchcraft!

Luis:
[Keeping his cool] That's amazing. That's like some David Copperfield sh*t!

Dave:
That's wizardry!

Kurt:
Sorcery!

Luis:
How'd you do that, bro?

Scott Lang:
Don't freak out, look at your shoulder.

Luis:
[Looks at his shoulder, starts screaming, and runs out of the room] Get if off! Get it off!

Scott Lang:
I thought Daddy didn't get scared!

Scott Lang:
[after going through the key hole successfully] Nailed it!

Gale:
[seeing the blown up ant] That is one messed up looking dog.

Cassie Lang:
Are you a monster?

Yellowjacket:
Do I look like a monster?

Cassie Lang:
[freaks out] I want my daddy!

Yellowjacket:
I want him too.

Scott Lang:
I love you, Cassie. [sabotages the Yellowjacket regulator in a kamikaze move]

Dale:
Baskin-Robbins always find out.

Dave:
Baskin-Robbins don't play!

Scott Lang:
We're trapped, now what do we do?

Hank Pym:
Do you think that's a toy tank on my key-ring?

Hank Pym:
You've come for more toys for the boys?

Howard Stark:
I came for the suit.

Scott Lang:
[to Hank and Hope] Don't worry, he can't see me.

Sam Wilson:
I can see you!

Scott Lang:
He can see me... [scales up, and unlatches helmet] Hi, I'm Scott.

Hope Van Dyne:
[shocked] Did he just say "Hi, I'm Scott."?

Hank Pym:
Scott?

Scott Lang:
Yeah?

Hank Pym:
You're full of sh*t.

Scott Lang:
Oh yeah.

Scott Lang:
[raises hand] Excuse me, Dr. Pym?

Hank Pym:
You don't have to raise your hand Scott.

Scott Lang:
[lowers hand] Okay. I just have one question... Who are you, who is she, what the hell is going on here, and can I go back to jail now?

[post-credits scene]

[Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers are in a garage with the Winter Soldier whose metal arm is trapped in a vice]

Sam Wilson:
This would've been a lot easier a week ago.

Steve Rogers:
If we call Tony...

Sam Wilson:
He won't believe us.

Steve Rogers:
Even if he did...

Sam Wilson:
Who knows if the accords will let him help?

Steve Rogers:
We're on our own.

Sam Wilson:
Maybe not. I know a guy.

Hank Pym:
I took on a young prot?g? called Darren Cross.

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

Hank Pym:
But before he was a big deal he was my assistant. I thought I saw something in him, a son I never had perhaps. 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.

Scott Lang:
How could he do that?

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

Scott Lang:
I think our first move should be calling the Avengers.

Hank Pym:
I spent thirty years protecting that technology from a Stark, I sure as hell don't intend to give it to another! This isn't cute technology like the Iron Man suit! This could change the techs of reality! Besides, they must already have their hands busy throwing cities out of the sky...

[Hank tells Hope the truth about her mother's death and she comes to terms with it, then Scott interrupts]

Scott Lang:
This is awesome. It's awesome. You know, you guys are breaking down walls, you're healing, it's important.

[Hank and Hope stare at Scott]

Scott Lang:
I ruined the moment, didn't I?

Hank Pym:
Yes, you did, yes.

Scott Lang:
[Smiles and points at the kitchen] I'm gonna make some tea.

Luis:
You know what? I was thinking of a tactic. Like when I go undercover. Like a whistling. You know what I am saying? To like blend in.

Scott Lang:
No. Do not whistle. No whistling. It is not The Andy Griffith Show. No whistling. [cut to Luis whistling]

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

Hank Pym:
I saw myself.

Darren Cross:
Then why did you push me away?

Hank Pym:
Because I saw too much of myself.

Scott Lang:
Hey, how's your girl, man?

Luis:
Ah, she left me.

Scott Lang:
Oh.

Luis:
And my mom died too. And my dad got deported. [Scott just stares in awkward silence]

Luis:
[Suddenly enthused] But I got the van!

Luis:
How serious are we talkin' Scotty?

Scott Lang:
[Looking at a safe] It's a Carbondale. It's from 1910, made from thr same steel as the Titanic.

Luis:
Wow. Can you crack it?

Scott Lang:
Well, here's the thing, it doesn't do so well with cold. Remember what that iceberg did?

Luis:
Yeah man, it killed DiCaprio.

Dave:
Killed everyone.

Kurt:
Did not kill the old lady. She still throw the jewel into the oceans.

[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.

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

Howard Stark:
[to Carson] He just kicked your ass full-size, you really wanna find out what it's like when you can't see him coming?

Hope Van Dyne:
This bozo here got caught stealing a smoothie machine.

Luis:
Two... smoothie machines.

Hank Pym:
[Hank walks in on Scott and Hope kissing] When did this happen?

Hope Van Dyne:
Nothing's happening.

Scott Lang:
Whoa, hold on. Something's kind of happening.

Hank Pym:
Well if that's the case, shoot me again.

Frank:
Long time no see, Dr. Pym. How's retirement?

Hank Pym:
How's your face?

Hank Pym:
You're throwing 247 off balance.

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.

[1989:
Hank Pym storms S.H.I.E.L.D's board room in the Triskelion]

Hank:
Stark.

Stark:
[Murmuring] He doesn't seem happy… [Normal] Hello, Hank, You're supposed to be in Moscow.

Hank:
I took a detour. [takes a Pym Particle vial and puts it on the desk] Through your defense lab.

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

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

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

Hank:
I'm a scientist.

Stark:
Then act like one, The Pym Particle is the most revolutionary science ever developed, help us put it to good use.

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

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

[Hank takes a moment to control himself before he slams Carson's head into the desk]

Carter:
[Intervening] Easy, Hank!

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

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

Hank:
I formally tender my resignation.

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.

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

[Hank turns around and leaves calmly]

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

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

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

Stark:
He just kicked your ass full-size. You really want to find out what it's like when you can't see him coming?

Scott:
Look, child-support is coming, alright? It's just hard finding a job when you have a record.

Paxton:
I'm sure you'll figure it out, but for now, I want you out of my house.

Scott:
No way! It's my daughter's birthday party.

Paxton:
It's at my house!

Scott:
So what? She's my kid.

Maggie:
Scott!

[Maggie walks down the hallway and shakes her head disapprovingly when she sees Scott]

Maggie:
You can't just show up here, you know that. Come on.

Scott:
It's a birthday party.

Maggie:
Yeah I know, but you can't just show up.

Scott:
She's my daughter, alright?

Paxton:
You don't know the first thing about being a father.

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

Maggie:
He's not an ass-hat.

Paxton:
Hey, watch your language, OK?

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

[After Scott puts on the Ant-Man suit and shrinks for the first time]

Hank:
[On comms] The world sure seems different from down here, doesn't it Scott?

Scott:
Who said that?

Hope:
You're gonna have to learn how to punch.

Scott:
You're gonna show me how to punch? [Holds up his hand as a target] Okay. Show me how to—

[Hope cuts him off with a punch to the face]

Hope:
That's how you punch.

Scott:
OW! Were you even aiming for my hand?

[A training montage where Scott learns about his new six-legged friends]

Hope:
Paratrechina longicornis, commonly known as crazy ants. They're lightning fast and can conduct electricity, which makes them useful to fry out enemy electronics.

Scott:
Aww, you're not so crazy. You're cute.

. . .

Hope:
Paraponera clavata.

Scott:
I know, bullet ants, right? Number one on the Schmidt Pain Index.

. . .

Hope:
Camponotus pennsylvanicus.

Hank:
Alternatively known as a carpenter ant. Ideal for ground and air transport.

Scott:
[With the carpenter ant he previously flew on] Wait a minute. I know this guy. I'm gonna call him Antony.

Hank:
That's good. That's very good, because this time you're really gonna have to learn how to control him.

[Approaching the "old Stark warehouse" he's supposed to burglarize]

Scott:
Uh, guys, we might have a problem. Hank, didn't you say this was some old warehouse?

[The "warehouse" comes into clearer view, with a large circle-A insignia on the roof denoting its role as the Avengers' base]

Scott:
It's not! YOU SON OF A B*TCH!!

Hope:
Scott, get out of there!

Hank:
Abort! Abort now!

Scott:
No, it's okay. Doesn't look like anyone's home.

Scott:
[Standing before Sam Wilson, shrunken] It's okay, he can't see me.

Sam:
I can see you.

Scott:
...He can see me.

Scott:
Paxton, turn around. Take me back.

Paxton:
I'm taking you back. To prison.

Scott:
There's something in that backyard that needs to be destroyed, in the bug-zapper. I-

[Paxton hits the brake with his foot and angrily turns to Scott]

Paxton:
You need to desist right now! Your delusions are out of hand!

[Yellowjacket appears in Cassie's room]

Cassie:
Are you a monster?

Yellowjacket:
Do I look like a monster?

Cassie:
…I want my daddy!

Yellowjacket:
[Menacingly] I know. I want your daddy too.

[Mid-credits scene; Hank brings Hope down to his lab]

Hank:
There’s something I want to show you. I realized you can’t destroy power, all you can do is to make sure that it’s in the right hands.

[Hank opens up a vault to reveal the prototype of the Wasp suit]

Hank:
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.

[Hope looks at the suit in shock then back to Hank]

Hank:
Maybe it’s time we finished it.

[Hope looks back at the suit and smiles]

Hope:
It’s about damn time.
