Ant-Man (2015) and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) Best Quotes

Dale: You really stuck it to those billionaire SOBs. And the more I read about what you did, and stuff, I’m like, “Wow, I know this guy? I’m in charge of this guy?” Yeesh!
Scott Lang: Well, I’m very happy in this job. And I’m, I really just appreciate the opportunities, and…
Dale: Yeah. Yeah. Well, you’re fired of course. I mean, I can’t really keep you on.
Scott Lang: Wait, what? Fired?

Scott Lang: 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’d be totally off the books, off the records, but if you want to grab one of those Mango Fruit Blasts on your way out the door, I’ll just pretend I didn’t see it.

Luis: Hey, Scotty, what’s up? I thought you were supposed to be at work?
Scott Lang: I was, I got fired.
Luis: Damn! They find out who you are?
Scott Lang: Yep.
Luis: Baskin Robbins always finds out, bro.
Dave: Baskin Robbins don’t play.

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 burglar.
Dave: You mean you’re a pussy?
Scott Lang: Yeah.

Hope van Dyne: Good morning, Hank.
Dr. Hank Pym: Hope. Would it kill you to call me dad?

Mitchell Carson: Long time no see, Dr. Pym. How’s retirement?
Dr. Hank Pym: How’s your face?

Darren Cross: When I took over this company for Dr. Pym, I immediately started researching a particle that could change the distance between atoms while increasing density and strength. Why this revolutionary idea remained buried beneath the dust and cobwebs of Hank’s research, I couldn’t tell you. But just imagine. A soldier the size of an insect. The ultimate secret weapon. An Ant-Man. That’s what they called you. Right, Hank?

Darren Cross: You seem a bit shocked.
Dr. Hank Pym: Darren, there’s a reason that I buried these secrets.
Darren Cross: So you finally admit it. We could’ve done this together, Hank. But you ruined that. That’s why you’re the past and I’m the future.
Dr. Hank Pym: Don’t do this.

Hope van Dyne: We have to make our move, Hank.
Dr. Hank Pym: How close is he?
Hope van Dyne: He still can’t shrink a live subject. Just give me the suit and let me finish this once and for all.
Dr. Hank Pym: No.
Hope van Dyne: I have Cross’s complete trust.
Dr. Hank Pym: It’s too dangerous.
Hope van Dyne: We don’t have a choice.
Dr. Hank Pym: Well, that’s not entirely true.
Hope van Dyne: I think I found a guy.
Dr. Hank Pym: Who?

Cassie Lang: [to Scott] Mommy’s so happy you’re here, she choked on her drink.

Paxton: You don’t know the first thing about being a father.
Scott Lang: Maggie, I tell you this as a friend, and as the first love of my life, your fiancé is an a**-hat.
Maggie Lang: He’s not an a**-hat.
Paxton: Hey, watch your language. Okay?
Scott Lang: Oh, what language. I said hat.

Scott Lang: [referring to Cassie] I’ve missed so much time and I want to be a part of her life. What do I do?
Maggie Lang: Get an apartment. Get a job, pay child support. And then we will talk about visitation, I promise. You’re her hero, Scott. Just be the person that she already thinks you are.

Frank: Unfortunately we can’t just do whatever we want. Would be nice though, right? But there are laws.
Darren Cross: What laws? Of man? The laws of nature transcend the laws of man, and I’ve transcended the laws of nature.

Darren Cross: Gratitude can be forgiveness. I spent years carrying around my anger for Hank Pym. I devoted my genius to him. I could’ve worked anywhere. I chose my mentor poorly. You didn’t even have a choice. He never believed in you. It’s a shame what we had to do, but he forced us to do it, didn’t he? But we shouldn’t be angry, we should be grateful. Because his failures as a mentor, as a father, forced us to spread our wings.
Hope van Dyne: You’re a success, Darren. You deserve everything coming your way.

Scott Lang: I want to know about that tip.
Luis: Ooh, baby, it’s on!
Dave: Hot dog!
Luis: It’s so on right now!
Dave: Look who grew a pair!

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, 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, “Yoh, man. This guy’s got a big-a** safe just sitting in the basement, just chilling.” Of course Ernesto comes to me, because 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, “No, dog. All she said is that it’s like super legit, and whatever’s in it has got to 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: You know what I’ saying.

Scott Lang: Well they weren’t kidding. This safe is serious.
Luis: How serious we talking, Scotty?
Scott Lang: It’s a Carbondale. It’s from 1910, made from the same steel as the Titanic.
Luis: Wow. Can you crack it?
Scott Lang: Well, here’s the thing. It doesn’t do so well in the cold. Remember what that iceberg did?
Luis: Yeah, man, it killed DiCaprio.
Dave: It killed everybody.
Kurt: But not kill the old lady. She still throw the jewel into the oceans.

Dr. Hank Pym: [after Scott wears the suit and shrinks] The world sure seems different from down here, doesn’t it, Scott?
Scott Lang: What? Who said that? Luis! Luis, down here!
Dr. Hank Pym: [as Luis is about to take a shower] It’s a trial by fire, Scott. Or in this case, water.
Dr. Hank Pym: [as Scott falls out of the bathtub] Guess you’re tougher than you thought.

Cop on Speaker: Put it down on the ground! You are under arrest!
Scott Lang: No, I didn’t steal anything! I was returning something I stole.

Scott Lang: Sir, I’m sorry I stole the suit. I don’t even want to know why you have it.
Dr. Hank Pym: Maggie was right about you.
Scott Lang: How do you know about…?
Dr. Hank Pym: The way she’s trying to keep you away from Cassie. The moment things get hard, you turn right back to crime.

Dr. Hank Pym: 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.
Dr. Hank Pym: No, I don’t expect you to. But you don’t have many options right now. Quite frankly, neither do I. Why do you think I let you steal that suit in the first place?
Scott Lang: What?

Dr. Hank Pym: [to Scott] 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.

Cassie Lang: Is daddy a bad man? I heard some grownups say he’s bad.
Maggie Lang: No. Daddy just gets confused sometimes, you know?

Dr. Hank Pym: Scott, these are my associates.
Scott Lang: Huh? You got a camera on an ant? Yeah, sure, why not? Where’s the car?
Dr. Hank Pym: No car. We’ve got wings. Incoming!

Scott Lang: [referring to the winged ant] Oh, this is easy. I’m getting the hang of this. Yank up to go up. It’s like a horse.
Dr. Hank Pym: You’re throwing 247 off balance.
Scott Lang: Wait, his name is 247?
Dr. Hank Pym: He doesn’t have a name, he has a number Scott. Do you have any idea how many ants there are? Maybe it’s 248.

Scott Lang: What happens if I throw up in this helmet?
Dr. Hank Pym: It’s my helmet, Scott. Do not throw up.

Scott Lang: Hello. Who are you? Have you been standing there watching me sleep this whole time?
Hope van Dyne: Yes.
Scott Lang: Why?
Hope van Dyne: Because the last time you were here you stole something.

Dr. Hank Pym: I assume that you’ve already met my daughter Hope.
Scott Lang: I did. She’s great.
Dr. Hank Pym: She doesn’t think that we need you.
Hope van Dyne: We don’t. We can do this ourselves.
Dr. Hank Pym: I go to all this effort to let you steal my suit, and then Hope has you arrested.
Hope van Dyne: Okay, we can try this, and when he fails, I’ll do it myself.

Dr. Hank Pym: I was very impressed with how you managed to get past my security system. Freezing that metal was particularly clever.
Scott Lang: Were you watching me?
Dr. Hank Pym: Scott, I’ve been watching you for a while, ever since you robbed Vista Corp. Oh, excuse me, burgled Vista Corp.

Scott Lang: [referring to the ants] How do you make them do that?
Dr. Hank Pym: Ants can lift objects fifty times their weight. They build, farm, they cooperate with each other.
Scott Lang: Right. But how do you make them do that?
Dr. Hank Pym: I use electromagnetic waves to stimulate their olfactory nerve center. I speak to them. I can go anywhere, hear anything, and see everything.
Hope van Dyne: And still know absolutely nothing.

Scott Lang: Dr. Pym?
Dr. Hank Pym: You don’t need to raise your hand, Scott.
Scott Lang: Sorry, I just have one question. Who are you? Who is she? What the hell’s going on and can I go back to jail now?
Dr. Hank Pym: Come with me.

Scott Lang: So, what do you want from me?
Dr. Hank Pym: Scott, I believe that everyone deserves a shot at redemption. Do you?
Scott Lang: I do.
Dr. 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?
Scott Lang: Absolutely. My days of breaking into places and stealing s**t are done. What do you want me to do?
Dr. Hank Pym: I want you to break into a place and steal some s**t.

Cassie Lang: Are you trying to find my daddy?
Paxton: Yeah, I am, sweetheart. I just want your daddy to be safe.
Cassie Lang: Hope you don’t catch him.

Scott Lang: I think our first move should be calling the Avengers.
Dr. Hank Pym: I’ve spent half my life trying to keep this technology out of the hands of a Stark. I’m sure as hell not going to hand-deliver it to one now. This is not some cute technology like the Iron Man suit. This could change the texture of reality. Besides they’re probably too busy dropping cities out of the sky.

Scott Lang: Okay, then why don’t you just send the ants?
Dr. Hank Pym: Scott, they are ants. Ants, they can do a lot of things, but they still need a leader. Somebody that can infiltrate a place that’s designed to prevent infiltration.
Scott Lang: Hank, I’m a thief. Alright? I’m a good thief. But this is insane.

Hope van Dyne: He is a criminal. I’m your daughter.
Dr. Hank Pym: No!
Scott Lang: She’s right, Hank. I’m not your guy. Why don’t you wear the suit?
Dr. Hank Pym: You think I don’t want to? I can’t. I spent years wearing it. It took a toll on me. You’re our only option.

Dr. Hank Pym: Before Hope lost her mother, she used to look at me like I was the greatest man in the world. And now she looks at me and it’s just disappointment. It’s too late for me, but not for you. This is your chance. The chance to earn that look in your daughter’s eyes, to become the hero that she already thinks you are. It’s not about saving our world, it’s about saving theirs.
Scott Lang: Damn, that was a good speech.
Dr. Hank Pym: Scott, I need you to be the Ant-Man.

Hope van Dyne: When you’re small energy is compressed so you have the force of a two hundred pound man behind a fist a hundredth 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.
Hope van Dyne: [as Scott hits her hand] Terrible.

Dr. Hank Pym: [after Hope punches Scott in the face] She’s been looking forward to this.
Scott Lang: No kidding.
Dr. Hank Pym: Hope trained in martial arts at a difficult time.
Hope van Dyne: Oh, by difficult time, he means when my mother died.
Dr. 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. Alright, princess, let’s get back to work.
Scott Lang: Were you going for the hand?

Dr. Hank Pym: Do not screw with the regulator. If that regulator is compromised you would go sub-atomic.
Scott Lang: What does that mean?
Dr. Hank Pym: It means that you would enter a quantum realm.
Scott Lang: What does that mean?
Dr. 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. If it ain’t broke.

Dr. Hank Pym: [to Scott] You’ve learned about the suit, but you’ve yet to learn about your greatest allies. The ants. Loyal, brave, and your partners on this job.

Scott Lang: [as he gets into Hope’s car] You got to 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.

Hope van Dyne: You know, I thought, with all that’s at stake, just maybe we might have a chance at 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’ve realized that by now. I mean, that’s why I’m in the suit and you’re not. He’d rather lose than fight than lose you.

Dr. Hank Pym: 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: You were trying to bring her back.
Dr. 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 this sooner?
Dr. Hank Pym: I was trying to protect you. I lost your mother. I didn’t mean to lose you too.

Scott Lang: [to Pym and Hope] This is awesome. It’s awesome, you know? You guys are breaking down walls, you’re healing. It’s important.
Scott Lang: I ruined the moment didn’t I?
Dr. Hank Pym: Yes, you did, yes.
Scott Lang: I’m going to make some tea.

Dr. Hank Pym: The final phase of your training will be a stealth incursion.
Scott Lang: It’s freezing! You couldn’t make a suit with a flannel lining?

Scott Lang: [as we see the warehouse is the new Avengers base] Guys, we might have a problem. Hank, didn’t you say this was some old warehouse? It’s not! You son of a b**ch!

Dr. Hank Pym: [over ear piece] Abort, Scott! Abort now.
Scott Lang: It’s okay, he can’t see me.
Sam Wilson: I can see you.
Scott Lang: He can see me.

Scott Lang: [to Sam] Hi. I’m Scott.
Hope van Dyne: [to Pym back in the lab] Did he just say “Hi I’m Scott?”
Sam Wilson: What are you doing here?
Scott Lang: First off, I’m a big fan.
Sam Wilson: Appreciate it. So who the hell are you?
Scott Lang: I’m Ant-Man.
Sam Wilson: Ant-Man?
Scott Lang: What, you haven’t heard of me? No, you wouldn’t have heard of me.

Sam Wilson: [after losing the fight with Scott] It’s really important to me that Cap never finds out about this.

Dr. Hank Pym: Well done.
Scott Lang: Wait a minute. Did you just compliment me? He did, didn’t he?
Hope van Dyne: Kind of sounded like he did.
Dr. Hank Pym: I was good, wasn’t I?
Scott Lang: Hey, how about the fact that I fought an Avenger, and didn’t die?
Dr. Hank Pym: Now let’s not dwell on the past. We got to finish our planning.
Hope van Dyne: Don’t mind him. You did good.

Dr. Hank Pym: Darren. How the hell did you get in here?
Darren Cross: You left the front door open, Hank. It’s official. You’re old.

Darren Cross: What did you see in me?
Dr. Hank Pym: I don’t know what you mean.
Darren Cross: All those years ago, you picked me. What did you see?
Dr. Hank Pym: I saw myself.
Darren Cross: Then why did you push me away?
Dr. Hank Pym: Because I saw too much of myself.

Scott Lang: So we expand our team. What do we need? A fake security guard on the inside to depressurize the water system, somebody else to hack into the power supply and kill the laser grid, and a getaway guy.
Dr. Hank Pym: No, no. No, no, no. Not those three wombats. No way.

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: [to Scott] You know that he was arrested for stealing a smoothie machine, right?
Luis: Two smoothie machines.
Hope van Dyne: Are you sure they can handle this?
Luis: Oh we can handle it, we’re professionals.
Dr. 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-a** house, didn’t we?
Dr. Hank Pym: I let you.
Dave: Well, one could say that I let you let me.

Scott Lang: Look, it’s okay. They can handle this.
Luis: Yeah, we can handle it.
Scott Lang: You got their credentials?
Hope van Dyne: He’s in the system.
Luis: I’m in the system?
Dave: The system.
Luis: The system?
Dr. Hank Pym: Yeah. We’re doomed.

Scott Lang: [referring to the Ant-Man suit] Now look, this is going to get weird, alright? It’s pretty freaky but it’s safe. There’s no reason to be scared.
Luis: Aw, no, no. Daddy don’t get scared.
Scott Lang: Really?
Luis: Yeah.
Scott Lang: Good.

Kurt: [as Scott shrinks himself] This is the work of the gypsies.
Dave: That’s witchcraft.
Luis: Oh, that’s amazing. That’s like some David Copperfield s**t.
Dave: That’s some kind of wizardry.
Kurt: Sorcery!
Luis: How did you do that, bro?
Scott Lang: Don’t freak out. Look at your shoulder.
Luis: Ahh! Ahh! Get off! Get off! Ahh!
Scott Lang: I thought daddy didn’t get scared?

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

Hope van Dyne: We’re all doing this for reasons much bigger than any one of us. I’m just glad that you might have a slight chance of maybe pulling this off.
Scott Lang: Hey. Thank you, you know, for that pep talk.
Hope van Dyne: You know, the honest truth is I actually went from despising you to almost liking you.
Scott Lang: You really should write poetry.

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. And you are very beautiful, ma’am.
Dr. 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.

Dave: Got a Crown Vic right outside over there.
Kurt: This is problem?
Dave: Considering the Crown Vic’s the most commonly used car for under-cover cops, man. Yes, this is a problem.

Scott Lang: [to the ants] Assume formation. Alright you cute little crazies, let’s fry these servers. Let’s go get them, buddy!

Darren Cross: You tried to hide your technology from me, and now it’s going to blow up in your face.
Darren Cross: [Pym punches him in the face] Wow. Wow! I mean, I saw the punch coming a mile away but I just figured it’d be all pathetic and weak.
Dr. 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.

Darren Cross: [to Pym] I always suspected you had a suit stored away somewhere, which begs the question, who is the new Ant-Man? Who is the man that my beloved mentor trusted even more than me? Scott Lang. The martyr, who took on the system and paid the price, losing his family and his only daughter in the process. Exactly your kind of guy, Hank. He escapes his jail cell without leaving any clue as to how, and then, he disappears magically, despite having no money to his name. And now he brings me the Ant-Man suit, the only thing that can rival my creation.

Darren Cross: What do you call the only man who can arm the most powerful weapon in the world?
Dr. Hank Pym: The most powerful man in the world.
Darren Cross: You proud of me yet?
Dr. Hank Pym: You can stop this, Darren. It’s not too late.
Darren Cross: It’s been too late for a long time now.

Luis: We’re the good guys, right?
Scott Lang: Yeah, we’re the good guys.
Luis: Feels kind of weird, you know?

Darren Cross: Did you think you could stop the future with a heist?
Scott Lang: It was never just a heist!

Darren Cross: I’m going to disintegrate you!
Cell Phone: [inside the briefcase they accidentality hit the cell phone] Playing “Disintegration” by The Cure.

Cassie Lang: Are you a monster?
Darren Cross: Do I look like a monster?
Cassie Lang: I want my daddy!
Darren Cross: I want your daddy too.

Scott Lang: [to Cross] Why don’t you pick on someone your own size?

Darren Cross: You know it would be much easier to hit you if you were bigger!
Scott Lang: Yeah, I agree.

Gale: [referring to the giant ant] That’s a messed-up looking dog.

Dr. Hank Pym: [after Scott comes back from the quantum realm] Scott, please. You don’t remember anything?
Scott Lang: Hank, I don’t.
Dr. Hank Pym: There must be something else. Well I suppose the human mind just can’t comprehend the experience, but you made it. You went in, and you got out, that’s amazing.

Dr. Hank Pym: [after he finds Hope and Scott kissing] When did this happen?
Hope van Dyne: Nothing’s happening.
Scott Lang: Woh. Hold on. Something’s kind of happening.
Dr. Hank Pym: Well if that’s the case, shoot me again.
Scott Lang: [to Hope] 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.
Dr. Hank Pym: Scott.
Scott Lang: Yeah?
Dr. Hank Pym: You’re full of s**t.
Scott Lang: Oh, yeah.

Scott Lang: Thank you, Paxton. I’m blown away. Thank you for everything you do for Cassie.
Paxton: Oh, well, that’s my pleasure. But no. No, this one, I did it for you.
Scott Lang: This is awkward.
Paxton: Yeah.
Cassie Lang: Yeah.

Scott Lang: Alright, here’s the deal. Just give me the facts.
Luis: Just the facts, only the facts.
Scott Lang: Breathe, focus, keep it simple.
Luis: No, no, no, no doubt. No doubt. Okay, so I’m at this art museum with my cousin Ignacio, right? And there was this like abstract expressionism exhibit. But you know me, I’m more like a Neo-Cubist kind of guy, right? But there was this one Rothko that was sublime, bro. Oh, my God.
Scott Lang: Luis.
Luis: Okay. Sorry, sorry. I’m just, you know, I just get excited and stuff.

Luis: But anyway. Anyway. When Ignacio tells me, “Yoh, I met this crazy fine writer chick at this spot last night. Like, fine, fine, crazy stupid fine.” And he goes up to the bartender and goes, “Look at the girl I’m with? You know what I’m saying? She’s crazy stupid fine, right?”
Luis: [flashback, bartender is Stan Lee] And the bartender’s all like, “Yeah, crazy stupid fine.”

Luis: So this writer chick tells Ignacio, “Yoh, I’m like a boss in the world of guerrilla journalism, and I got mad connects with the peeps behind the curtains. You know what I’m saying?” Ignacio’s like, “For real?” And she’s like, “Yeah. You know what? I can’t tell you who my contact is, because he works with the Avengers.”
Scott Lang: Oh, no.

Luis: [flashback, the girl meeting Sam Wilson] “Yoh, I’m looking for this dude who’s no one seen, who’s flashing this fresh tack, 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 got to be more specific.” And he’s like, “I’m looking for a guy who shrinks.” And I’m like, “Damn!” I got all nervous, beccause I keep mad secrets for you, bro. So I asked Ignacio, “Did bad-a** 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.

Dr. Hank Pym: [mid-credits lines] 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. 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 working on it for you. Maybe it’s time we finished it.
Hope van Dyne: It’s about damn time.

Sam Wilson: [post-credit lines, referring to capturing Bucky] This would have 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.

Scott Lang: [to Pym, referring to the Wasp suit] Hold on, you gave her wings?!

Dr. Hank Pym: [referring to the Wasp suit] Wings and blasters.
Scott Lang: So I take it you didn’t have that tech available for me.
Dr. Hank Pym: No, I did.

Luis: [to Pym] Oh, you know what? I heard stories, like what happened to you. Like this crazy creepy cat, who like walks through walls and stuff. Like a ghost.
Kurt: Like Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga, the witch. They tell stories to children to frighten them. You know Baba Yaga?
Hope van Dyne: Whoever stole it, we need to find it.
Dave: Oh, you don’t find someone like that. They find you.
Kurt: Like Baba Yaga.

Scott Lang: Guys, it’s not a good idea to be out in the open like this.
Dr. Hank Pym: Relax, no one’s going to recognize us.
Scott Lang: What, because of hats and sunglasses? That’s not a disguise, Hank. We look like ourselves at a baseball game.

Dr. Bill Foster: Back in the day, I was Hank’s partner on a project called Goliath.
Dr. Hank Pym: Excuse me? You were my partner?
Dr. Bill Foster: The only thing more tiring than going that big is putting up with Hank’s bulls**t.
Scott Lang: Right.

Scott Lang: How big did you get?
Dr. Bill Foster: My record? Twenty-one feet.
Scott Lang: Not bad.
Dr. Bill Foster: You?
Scott Lang: I don’t…
Dr. Bill Foster: No, really, I’m curious.
Scott Lang: Sixty-five feet.
Dr. Bill Foster: Woh!
Scott Lang: Yeah.
Dr. Bill Foster: Huge.
Scott Lang: Sixty-five.
Hope van Dyne: If you two are finished comparing sizes, we need to figure out a way to track down the lab.

Dr. Bill Foster: And the great Hank Pym hasn’t figured that one out yet? Strange. You had all the answers back in the day. That’s why I left the project.
Dr. Hank Pym: Left? I fired you.
Dr. Bill Foster: Best decision I ever made. Hank was a terrible partner. Temperamental, stubborn, impatient. Sooner or later, he just pushed everyone away.
Dr. Hank Pym: Just the mediocrities.
Dr. Bill Foster: Janet was the only one who could endure him and chose to stick it out.
Dr. Hank Pym: Watch it, Bill.
Dr. Bill Foster: She paid the price, though, didn’t she?
Dr. Hank Pym: You son of a b**ch.
Hope van Dyne: [Pym goes to attack him, Hope and Scott stop him] I didn’t come here to listen to you two squabble. I’m trying to save my mother.

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.
Dr. Hank Pym: Where is it?
Scott Lang: It’s in a very safe place, alright? Don’t worry.

Dr. Hank Pym: [as Scott has shrunk down to a child’s size] Hiya, champ, how was school today?
Scott Lang: Oh, 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: Look at us, teaming up twice in one day.
Hope van Dyne: Makes you think, huh?
Scott Lang: About what?
Hope van Dyne: Germany.
Scott Lang: What do you mean?
Hope van Dyne: We were working together, training together, and other stuffing together.
Scott Lang: If I had asked you, would you have come?
Hope van Dyne: I guess we’ll never know. But I do know one thing.
Scott Lang: What?
Hope van Dyne: If I had, you’d have never been caught.

Hope van Dyne: What took you so long?
Scott Lang: Sorry, I had to come up with a name for my ant. I’m thinking Ulysses S. Gr-Ant. You like it?
Hope van Dyne: Hilarious.

Sonny Burch: Where is Scott Lang?
Luis: Well, see, that’s complicated. Because when I first met Scotty, he was in a bad place. And I’m not talking about cell block D. His wife had just filed for divorce, and I was, like, “Damn, homie. She dumped you when you’re on lockup?” And he was, like, “Yeah, I know. I thought I was going to be with her forever, but now I’m all alone.” And I was, like, “Damn, homie. You know what? You got to chin up, because you’ll find a new partner. But you know what? I’m Luis.” And he says, “You know what? I’m Scotty, and we’re going to be best friends.”

Sonny Burch: Okay, hold on. Hold on. I like a good story as much as the next person, but what in the hell does this have to do with where Scott Lang is?
Luis: I’m getting there. I’m getting there.
Dave: You put a dime in him, you got to let the whole song play out.
Kurt: He like human jukebox.
Luis: Oh, my abuelita had a jukebox in the restaurant! Yeah, only played Morrissey. And if anybody ever complained, she’d be like, “Oh, no te gusta Moz.” You know, Chicanos, we call him Moz. Then, “Adios!” What can I say? We relate to his melancholy ballads, you know?

Maggie: [as Woo is putting Scott under house arrest] What does the FBI even stand for, “Forever Bothering Individuals”?

Cassie: So how long have you been Ant-Man again?
Scott Lang: Not long. It just sort of happened. I’m sorry for lying to you, and I’m sorry for risking everything.
Cassie: Daddy, it’s okay.
Scott Lang: It’s not. I do some dumb things, and the people that I love the most pay the price. Mainly you.
Cassie: Trying to help people isn’t dumb.
Scott Lang: I screw it up just about every time.
Cassie: So maybe you just need someone watching your back, like a partner.
Scott Lang: Well, she’s made it clear that’s about the last thing she wants.
Cassie: Who?
Scott Lang: Hope. Wait, who did you think?
Cassie: Me.
Scott Lang: You?

Cassie: I’d be a great partner.
Scott Lang: Oh, peanut. You would be awesome. And if I let you, I would be a terrible dad.
Cassie: Fine. Then have Hope be your partner. She’s smart.
Scott Lang: She reminds me of you.
Cassie: You going to go help her? I think you should help her.
Scott Lang: I wish I could, but I don’t know how I could help her without hurting you.
Cassie: You can do it. You can do anything. You are the world’s greatest grandma.

Shrinking Car Owner: [as he gets his car shrunk] Well, the 60’s were fun, but now I’m paying for it.

Scott Lang: Work in progress, my a**.

Scott Lang: Anyone see a Southern gentleman carrying a building?

Uzman: [to the police after Luis, Dave, and Kurt capture them] We traffic in stolen technology.
Anitolov: And we have killed many, many people.
Uzman: [referring to Burch] Uh, he’s in charge.
Sonny Burch: That’s true, I am. I’ve also committed numerous health code violations in my restaurant. Some of them would shock you.
Uzman: [sees the injection needle] It is truth serum.

Scott Lang: [as he’s being freed from his house arrest] What’s it like out there? Huh? I mean, do people still dance? Are food trucks still a thing?
Jimmy Woo: Well, you got away with it this time, Scott, but I’ll be seeing you again.
Scott Lang: Where?
Jimmy Woo: Huh?
Scott Lang: Where will you be seeing me again?
Jimmy Woo: Like, in general. I’ll see you like the next time you do something bad, I’ll be there to catch you.
Scott Lang: Oh. You’ll be watching and…
Jimmy Woo: Yeah.

Scott Lang: I thought you were inviting me somewhere.
Jimmy Woo: Why would I do that?
Scott Lang: That’s what I was wondering, why would you do that?
Jimmy Woo: Like a party, or like dinner, or something?
Scott Lang: I don’t know. I thought you planned the evening.
Jimmy Woo: No, I meant to like arrest you.
Scott Lang: No, that’d be a little strange.
Jimmy Woo: Like, I’ll arrest you later again.
Scott Lang: Take it easy.
Jimmy Woo: Okay. Did you want to grab dinner? I mean because I’m free.

Hope van Dyne: [mid-credits lines, Scott is in the quantum realm] Preparing for re-entry in five, four, three…
Scott Lang: Hello? Ha, ha. Very funny. Hank, quit screwing around. You told me yourself not to screw around.
[we see Pym, Hope and Janet have disintegrated]
Scott Lang: Hank? Hope? Janet. Guys. Guys. Okay, seriously, don’t joke around. Bring me up, let’s go. Guys!
