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

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.

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

Carson
[Hank turns around and leaves calmly]

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?

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

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

Who said that?

[After Hank briefs Scott on what Cross is planning and wants him to be the Ant-Man]

Ok, the first thing we should do…is call the Avengers.

Hank
[Angry]

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 some cute tech like the Iron Man suit, it could change the face of reality! Besides, they must already have their hands busy throwing cities out of the sky…

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

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

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

Paraponera clavata.

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

Camponotus pennsylvanicus.

Hank

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

[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]

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]

It's not! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!

Scott, get out of there!

Hank

Abort! Abort now!

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

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

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

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.

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

Maybe it’s time we finished it.

[Hope looks back at the suit and smiles]

It’s about damn time.
