Quotes 

• Scott Lang : [shrunk down to a child's size; runs into Pym's car after going undercover in a school] 

  Dr. Hank Pym : Hiya, champ, how was school today?

  Scott Lang : Aw, ha ha ha! Alright, get your jokes out now, can you fix the suit?

  Hope van Dyne : So cranky.

  Dr. Hank Pym : You want a juice box and some string cheese?

  Scott Lang : Do you really have that?

• Scott Lang : Hold on, you gave her wings?

  Dr. Hank Pym : And blasters.

  Scott Lang : Wings and blasters. So I take it you didn't have that tech available for me.

  Dr. Hank Pym : No, I did.

• Dr. Hank Pym : Relax. No one's gonna recognize us.

  Scott Lang : What, because of hats and sunglasses? It's not a disguise, Hank. We look like ourselves at a baseball game.

• Hope van Dyne : Oh, my God. You *didn't* destroy the suit?

  Dr. Hank Pym : WHAT?

  Scott Lang : Well, it was your life's work, Hank. I couldn't destroy that. Before I turned myself in, I shrunk it down and mailed it to Luis.

  Dr. Hank Pym : You sent my suit through the MAIL?

  Scott Lang : Hey, the postal service is very reliable, you know? They do tracking numbers now. Like UPS.

• Scott Lang : I had a dream. She was playing hide and seek with a little... girl. Cassie and I do it all the time. It doesn't mean anything.

  Hope van Dyne : But, was it Cassie in the dream?

  Scott Lang : No.

  Hope van Dyne : Where was she hiding?

  Scott Lang : What?

  Hope van Dyne : The little girl, where was she hiding. Was it in a wardrobe?.

  Scott Lang : No, in a tall dresser

  Dr. Hank Pym : You mean a wardrobe.

  Scott Lang : Is that what that's called?

• Dr. Hank Pym : Last night we powered up the tunnel for the first time. It overloaded, and it shut down. But for a split second, the doorway to the Quantum Realm was opened.

  Scott Lang : And?

  Hope van Dyne : And five minutes later, you called. Talking about Mom.

  Dr. Hank Pym : We think when you went down there, you may have entangled with her.

  Scott Lang : Hank, I would never do that. I respect you too much.

  Dr. Hank Pym : *Quantum* entanglement, Scott.

• Dr. Bill Foster : I was partners with Hank on a project called Goliath.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Excuse me? You were my partner?

  Dr. Bill Foster : The only thing more tiring than going big was putting up with Hank's bullshit.

  Scott Lang : Right... I don't know. How big did you get?

  Dr. Bill Foster : My record? 21 feet.

  Scott Lang : Not bad.

  Dr. Bill Foster : You?

  Scott Lang : I don't...

  Dr. Bill Foster : No, really. I'm curious.

  Scott Lang : 65 feet. Yeah.

  Dr. Bill Foster : Whoa! Huge.

  Scott Lang : 65.

  Hope van Dyne : If you two are finished comparing sizes... we need to figure a way to track down the lab.

• Dr. Hank Pym : Are you going to keep staring at each other until they start shooting at us?

• Dr. Hank Pym : Just tell me you weren't lying about the suit you took. Tell me you really destroyed it.

  Scott Lang : I did. I destroyed it. I swear.

  Dr. Hank Pym : I can't believe you destroyed my suit! That was my life's work.

• Dr. Hank Pym : So I'm a terrible partner? Foster, he hasn't had one good idea in his unremarkable career.

  Hope van Dyne : But his idea about the diffractors could work, right?

  Dr. Hank Pym : Fine, one decent idea. Except I eliminated the diffractors when I upgraded the suits.

  Scott Lang : So, if we had an old suit, we might be able to track down the lab?

  Dr. Hank Pym : Yes, but we don't.

  Scott Lang : What if we did?

  Hope van Dyne : What do you mean?

  Scott Lang : I mean... life's funny.

• Scott Lang : So, uh, how do we find the lab?

  Dr. Hank Pym : After we lost it the first time... I put on a new tracker... of sorts.

  Scott Lang : [a swarm of ants in the sky forms a giant directional arrow]  That'll work.

• Dr. Hank Pym : Janet, how is this possible?

  Hope van Dyne : It wasn't a message you put in Scott's head. It was an antenna.

  Scott Lang : Clever girl. I'm so proud of you.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Honey, tell us where you are. Tell us how to find you.

  Scott Lang : No, the probability fields are too complex. That's why I needed to talk to you. You have to follow my voice.

  Dr. Hank Pym : [realizing]  Of course!

  Hope van Dyne : Like tracing a call back to its source.

• Hope van Dyne : [seeing the Wasp suit materialize]  Scott?

  Ant-Man : What're you two just standing around for? We gotta go find that lab.

  Dr. Hank Pym : What about me?

  [an FBI jacket and cap materializes with a pair of sunglasses] 

  Dr. Hank Pym : Perfect.

• Hope van Dyne : Scott, what are you doing?

  Dr. Hank Pym : Scott, get away from that!

  Hope van Dyne : Scott, you can't...

  Scott Lang : I'm sorry, I don't know how much time I have. I need to fix the algorithm. Trust me, after thirty years down here... I've thought about it a lot.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Janet?

  Scott Lang : [affectionately cupping his face]  Hi, honey.

  [turning to Hope] 

  Scott Lang : Oh, Jelly Bean.

  Hope van Dyne : Mom?

  Scott Lang : It's not the reunion I'd imagined. It's all so rushed. You two have done such great work. You just need a little... nudge.

  [the quantum tunnel powers up] 

• Dr. Hank Pym : I'm tracking your signal using subatomic frequencies between .2 and .9.

  Scott Lang : I'd narrow it to four and six.

  Dr. Hank Pym : That's too tight. We could miss you.

  Scott Lang : Look at us squabbling again.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Fine. All right, between three and seven.

  Scott Lang : Our first fight in decades, and it's over just like that.

  [the system locks on] 

  Scott Lang : Bullseye.

  Hope van Dyne : Source lock.

  Dr. Hank Pym : It's you.

  Hope van Dyne : [laughing in triumph]  We got it!

  Scott Lang : You have to meet me at these exact coordinates. In the wasteland, beyond the quantum void. It's very dangerous, especially on the human mind, so be careful. Time and space work very differently down here. You have two hours. After that, the probability fields will shift, and it'll be another century before they align like this again.

  Hope van Dyne : We'll find you.

  Scott Lang : I know you will, Jelly Bean.

  [suddenly "waking up"] 

  Scott Lang : Nope. Nothing. I got nothing. No sign of Janet. Perfect.

  [looking around] 

  Scott Lang : How did we get up here?

  [realizing they're holding hands, he looks suspiciously at Hank] 

• Dr. Bill Foster : Calm down, Hank.

  Dr. Hank Pym : [strained]  So help me God... the pills.

  Hope van Dyne : It's his heart! He needs his pills. Please, Dr. Foster. They're in the tin. Please. He could die! For Chr... come on!

  Scott Lang : Help him!

  Hope van Dyne : Dad, just hang on, all right? Just keep breathing. Stay calm.

  Scott Lang : Help him, man! Come on!

  Hope van Dyne : The Altoid tin!

  Ava : [Foster grabs the tin]  Wait!

  Scott Lang : [as Foster opens it, giant ants spring out; one cuts their restraints]  Thanks, guys.

• Hope van Dyne : We think she might have put some kind of a message in your head. Hopefully, a location. And opening the tunnel triggered it.

  Scott Lang : Your mom put a message in my head? Come on. That's insane.

  Dr. Hank Pym : No, Scott. Insane is going to Germany without telling us and fighting the Avengers.

• Luis : Wow, Dr. Pym. Like, who would've thought that, once again, in your hour of need, that you would turn to us? You know?

  Dr. Hank Pym : Not me.

• Dr. Hank Pym : [in FBI custody]  All right, what's our plan?

  Hope van Dyne : [taking a hidden shrinking device out of her boot]  To shrink that wall.

  Dr. Hank Pym : It looks load-bearing. The ceiling could collapse.

  Hope van Dyne : Then we run like hell.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Now, I estimate fifteen to twenty agents on the floor.

  Hope van Dyne : Roughly five times that in the building at large.

  Dr. Hank Pym : They're all heavily armed.

  Hope van Dyne : Not great odds.

  Dr. Hank Pym : You got any better ideas?

  Hope van Dyne : Nope. And I'm not giving up on mom.

  Dr. Hank Pym : She'd be so proud of you.

• Agent Burleigh : Agent Woo will see you in an hour.

  Dr. Hank Pym : An hour? We don't have an hour.

  Agent Burleigh : Oh, you got somewhere else to be?

  Dr. Hank Pym : [as Burleigh leaves, Hope spits out a concealed hairpin]  Oh, now, that's my girl.

• Hope van Dyne : What do you want?

  Sonny Burch : Relationships are built on trust, Hope. And I want our relationship to have a strong foundation.

  Hope van Dyne : Our relationship?

  Sonny Burch : My business landscape has been shifting, Hope. Hell, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra don't even exist anymore, but now, Hank, Pym... Hank Pym is a real opportunity.

  Hope van Dyne : Do you have a point?

  Sonny Burch : Oh, you think that I don't know what you've been building with all this? Quantum technology. Now, you can forget nanotech, forget AI, forget cryptocurrency. Quantum energy is the future. It's the next gold rush.

  Hope van Dyne : Is that so?

  Sonny Burch : I want in, Hope. So, as a gesture of good will, I have taken the liberty of arranging some buyers for your lab. Starting bid, $1 billion.

  Hope van Dyne : Thank you, Sonny, really. But my father and I have something slightly more pressing than starting a business. So I'll just take the component as arranged.

  Sonny Burch : My buyers don't take no for an answer. So we are either in business together, or we aren't in business together.

  Hope van Dyne : Then I guess we aren't.

  Sonny Burch : You can go. But I'm afraid your money's gonna have to remain. Let's call it compensation for my injured feelings.

  Hope van Dyne : Listen, Sonny. This is gonna be so much easier on everybody if you just give me that component.

  Sonny Burch : Darlin', the only thing you're taking from here is my heart, but it will mend in time.

  Hope van Dyne : Okay.

  Scott Lang : [watching the feed]  So, now what?

  Dr. Hank Pym : You'll see.

• Sonny Burch : You know, I have a... a special friend at the FBI. And I say special because, well, he tells me things that I didn't previously know. For example... your name isn't Susan. It's Hope van Dyne. And your unseen associate, that's your father, Hank Pym.

  Scott Lang : [watching a surveillance feed]  That's not good, Hank.

  Dr. Hank Pym : No shit.

• Dr. Hank Pym : Ava, I want to help you.

  Dr. Bill Foster : She doesn't need your help. I know how to save her.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Oh, really? How?

  Ava : Janet.

  Dr. Bill Foster : For the last thirty years, she's been down there absorbing quantum energy. We can extract that energy. We can use it to repair Ava's molecular structure...

  Dr. Hank Pym : Extract it?

  Dr. Bill Foster : Yes.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Are you insane? That would rip Janet apart.

  Dr. Bill Foster : You don't know that. I'm gonna fire up your tunnel. When Janet's location pops into Lang's head, he's gonna give it to me, or I'm gonna turn him over to the FBI.

  Scott Lang : What?

  Dr. Bill Foster : You are gonna stay here just in case I need your help.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Like hell I would help you!

  Ava : You'll do whatever I say.

  Dr. Hank Pym : You're gonna kill Janet!

  Ava : I'd be more worried about yourself, Hank.

• Hope van Dyne : The sooner we get the tunnel working, the sooner we can get this message out of his head.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Does Burch have it?

  Hope van Dyne : Yeah. Let's go.

  Scott Lang : What part? Who's Burch? Wait, what's happening?

• Dr. Hank Pym : I'm so sorry it took so long.

  Janet Van Dyne : No. No. You're here now. Let's go home.

• Hope van Dyne : Don't ever touch him again.

  Ava : Now, now, Hope, I think I'm being rather gentle with your father, all things considered

  Dr. Hank Pym : What the hell are you talking about?

  Dr. Bill Foster : [entering]  Another casualty of Hank Pym's ego.

  Dr. Hank Pym : Bill. What have you done?

  Ava : It's what you've done, Dr. Pym.

  Scott Lang : You're with her? Oh, man. I thought you were cool.

• Dr. Hank Pym : [mid-credits scene]  I used to be a respected scientist. I had my names on the sides of buildings. Now, I got this.

  Janet Van Dyne : Well, you wanted a smaller quantum tunnel. This is... smaller.

  Scott Lang : [accidentally honks the truck horn]  Oh. Sorry. My bad.

  Janet Van Dyne : Ah, I think it has flair.

  Scott Lang : All right. Control's online.

  Hope Van Dyne : The collection unit activates when you decouple it. It should automatically start absorbing quantum healing particles.

  Janet Van Dyne : Also, make sure you stay out of the tardigrade fields. They're cute, but they'll eat you. And don't get sucked into a time vortex. We won't be able to save you.

  Hope Van Dyne : Okay. Going subatomic in five, four, three, two, one.

  [Scott is sucked into the quantum realm tunnel] 

  Dr. Hank Pym : All right, Scott, this is a mic check.

  [brief silence] 

  Scott Lang : Mic check, one, two. One, two. How's everybody doing tonight in the quantum realm?

  Dr. Hank Pym : Scott, we read you.

  Scott Lang : I just wanna make sure.

  [opens the collection unit, which automatically absorbs healing particles] 

  Scott Lang : Okay. Healing particles secured for our new Ghost friend.

  Janet Van Dyne : Great. Preparing for re-entry in five, four, three...

  [radio static] 

  Scott Lang : Hello? Ha, ha. Very funny. Hank, quit screwing around. You told me yourself not to screw around.

  [the roof where they are stationed reveals that Hank, Hope, and Janet have turned to dust] 

  Scott Lang : Hank? Hope? Janet? Guys. Guys. Okay, seriously, don't joke around. Bring me up! Let's go! GUYS!

• [first lines] 

  Dr. Hank Pym : I still think about the night your mother and I had to leave you.

• Hope van Dyne : [fights Ghost in her Wasp suit, though Ghost disappears; over the comm]  Dad, are you seeing this?

  Dr. Hank Pym : [watching Hope on the monitor with Scott]  Hope, get out of there?

  Ava : [reappears and flips Wasp onto a table] 

  Scott Lang : I gotta do something!

  [goes to leave] 

  Dr. Hank Pym : Wait!

  [takes out a miniature Ant-Man suit for Scott] 

  Dr. Hank Pym : He's still a work in progress.

• Dr. Hank Pym : These are my ants, and ants don't give up.
