• 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] 

  Scott Lang : Hi, I'm Scott.

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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...

• 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] 

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

  Luis : Two... smoothie machines.

• 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 : [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 : [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.

• 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 : 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.

• Hope Van Dyne : Good morning, Hank.

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

• 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.

• 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.

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

• 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] 

  Mitchell Carson : Here we go.

  Hope Van Dyne : [to Cross]  Drop... your... gun.

  Darren Cross : You know, I came to the house the other night to kill him. But you were there!

  Hope Van Dyne : You're sick and I can help you, just put the gun - down.

  Darren Cross : I wasn't ready to kill you then. But I think I am now!

  Hope Van Dyne : DROP YOUR GUN NOW!

  Darren Cross : You picked the wrong side, Hope!

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

• 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.

• 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.
