• Tony Stark : [to Steve, referring to his 2012 self]  Mr. Rogers, I almost forgot, that suit did nothing for your ass.

  Steve Rogers : No one asked you to look, Tony.

  Tony Stark : It's ridiculous.

  Scott Lang : I think you look great, Cap. As far as I'm concerned, that's America's ass.

• Rocket : Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag.

  Bruce Banner : Is that a person?

  Rocket : Morag's a planet, Quill was a person.

  Scott Lang : A planet? Like in outer space?

  Rocket : Oh, look, it's like a little puppy, all happy and everything. Do you want to go to space, puppy? I'll take you to outer space!

• [after a botched first attempt of time travel] 

  Scott Lang : Someone peed my pants! Not sure if it was the baby-me or the old me.

  [pauses] 

  Scott Lang : Or was it just me-me?

• James Rhodes : If we can do this, you know, go back in time... why don't we just find baby Thanos, you know, and...

  [Pantomimes strangulation] 

  Hulk : Okay, first of all, that's horrible.

  James Rhodes : It's Thanos!

  Hulk : And secondly, time doesn't work that way. Changing the past doesn't change the future.

  Scott Lang : We go back, we get the stones before Thanos gets them, Thanos doesn't have the stones! Problem solved!

  Clint Barton : Bingo.

  Nebula : That's not how it works!

  Clint Barton : Well, that's what I heard.

  Hulk : Who told you that?

  James Rhodes : Star Trek, Terminator, Timecop, Time After Time...

  Scott Lang : Quantum Leap?

  James Rhodes : A Wrinkle in Time, Somewhere in Time...

  Scott Lang : Hot Tub Time Machine?

  James Rhodes : Hot Tub Time Machine, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, basically any movie that deals with time travel!

  Scott Lang : Die Hard? No, that's not one...

  James Rhodes : Look, this is known!

  Hulk : I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true. Think about it. If you go into the past, that past becomes your future, and your former present becomes the past, which can't now be changed by your new future!

  Nebula : Exactly!

  Scott Lang : So, "Back to the Future"'s a bunch of bullshit?

• Steve Rogers : Five years ago, we lost. All of us. We lost friends. We lost family. We lost a part of ourselves. Today, we have a chance to take it all back. You know your teams, you know your missions. Get the stones, get them back. One round trip each. No mistakes. No do-overs. Most of us are going somewhere we know, that doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Look out for each other. This is the fight of our lives. And we're going to win. Whatever it takes. Good luck.

  Rocket : He's pretty good at that.

  Scott Lang : Right?

• [Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff hear the Ant-Man calling] 

  Scott Lang : Hi! Uh, is anyone home? This is Scott Lang. We met a few years ago? At the airport? In Germany? I got really big.

  Steve Rogers : Is this an old message?

  Scott Lang : Ant-Man? Ant-Man... I know you know wh... I know you know that!

  Natasha Romanoff : That's the front gate.

  Scott Lang : That's me. Can you buzz me in?

• [Scott is about to re-enter the Quantum Realm] 

  Steve Rogers : Breakers are set. Emergency generators are on stand-by.

  Bruce Banner : Good, because if we blow the grid, I don't wanna lose...

  [pointing to Scott] 

  Bruce Banner : Tiny, here, in the 1950s.

  Scott Lang : [nervous]  Excuse me?

  Natasha Romanoff : He's kidding. You can't say things like that.

  Bruce Banner : It... it was just... a bad joke.

  [Scott nods] 

  Natasha Romanoff : [whispers to Bruce]  You were kidding, right?

  Bruce Banner : [under his breath]  I have no idea. We're talking about time travel here. Either, all of it is a joke or none of it is.

  [to Scott, giving a thumbs-up] 

  Bruce Banner : We're good!

• Scott Lang : We have enough Pym particles for one journey each, plus two test runs.

  Scott Lang : [Accidentally triggers the device]  *One* test run.

• Tony Stark : [discussing the "Time Heist"]  I believe the most likely outcome will be our collective demise.

  Scott Lang : Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel. That means no talking to our past selves, no betting on sporting events...

  Tony Stark : I'm gonna stop you right there, Scott. Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on "Back to the Future?"

  Scott Lang : [chuckles]  ... No.

• Steve Rogers : Almost everyone in this room has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones.

  Tony Stark : Or, substitute the word encounter with 'damn near been killed by' one of the six Infinity Stones.

  Scott Lang : I haven't. I don't even know what the hell you're all taking about now.

  Bruce Banner : Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each, and these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history.

  Tony Stark : Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to drop in.

  Clint Barton : Which means we've got to pick our targets.

  Tony Stark : Correct.

• [Steve Rogers, Tony Stark and Scott Lang find out about find the six infinity stones] 

  Steve Rogers : Well, what are we gonna do now?

  Tony Stark : You know what, give me a break, Steve. I just got hit in the head with a Hulk.

  Scott Lang : You said that we had one shot. This! This was our shot. We shot it, it's shot! Six stones or nothing! Six stones or nothing.

  Tony Stark : You're repeating yourself, you know that? You're repeating yourself.

  Scott Lang : You're repeating yourself! You're repeating yourself!

• Tony Stark : Quantum fluctuation messes with the Planck's scale, which then triggers the Doidge proposition. Can we agree on that? In layman's terms, it means, you are not coming home.

  Scott Lang : I did.

  Tony Stark : No, you accidentally survived. It's an billion-in-one cosmic fluke. Now you want to pull out... what you call it?

  Scott Lang : A time heist.

  Tony Stark : Yeah, a time heist. Of course. Why didn't I think of this before? Oh, because it's laughable, 'cos it's pipe dream.

  Steve Rogers : The stones are in the past. We could go back, we could get them.

  Natasha Romanoff : We can snap our own fingers. We can bring everybody back.

  Tony Stark : Or screw up worse than he already has, right.

  Steve Rogers : I don't believe we would.

  Tony Stark : Got to say that sometimes you miss that giddy optimism. However, high hopes won't help, if there is no logical, tangible way for me to safely execute the said, time heist. I believe the most likely outcome would be our collective demise.

  Scott Lang : Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel. I mean, no talking to our past-selves, no betting on sporting events...

  Tony Stark : I'm going to stop you right there, Scott. Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on, 'Back to Future?'

  Scott Lang : No.

  Tony Stark : Good, you got me worried there. 'cos that would be horse shit. That's not how Quantum Physics works.

  Natasha Romanoff : Tony, we have to take a stand.

  Tony Stark : We did stand and yet here we are.

  Scott Lang : I know you got a lot on the line. Your wife, your daughter. But I lost someone very important to me. A lot of people dead and now, now... we have a chance to bring her back, bring everyone back and you're telling me...

  Tony Stark : ...leave it. I can't.

• Scott Lang : [pointing to the Guardian's spaceship after it just landed]  It's awesome.

  Nebula : [talking to James Rhodes on radio]  Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's an idiot on the landing zone.

  Scott Lang : [Rhodes suddenly lands very closely to Scott with a loud thump, shocking him]  Oh, God!

  James Rhodes : What's up, regular-sized man?

• Tony Stark : [referring to Scott's van]  Scott, how long do you need to get that thing working?

  Scott Lang : Maybe ten minutes.

  Steve Rogers : Get it started. We'll bring the stones to you.

  Hope van Dyne : We're on it, Cap.

  [Scott looks at Hope and grins; she nods] 

• Steve Rogers : Alright. We have a plan. Six stones, three teams, one shot. Five years ago we lost. All of us. We lost friends. We lost family. We a part of ourselves. Today we have a chance to take it all back. You know your teams, you know your missions. Get the stones, get them back. One round trip each, no mistakes, no do overs. Most of us going somewhere we know, that doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Lookout for each other. This is the fight of our lives and we're gonna win. Whatever it takes. Good luck.

  Rocket : He's pretty good at that.

  Scott Lang : Right.

  Tony Stark : Ok, you heard the man. Stroke those keys, jolly green.

  Bruce Banner : Tractors engaged.

• Scott Lang : If you do this and it doesn't work, you're not coming back.

  Tony Stark : [nervous]  Thanks for the pep talk, piss-ant.

• Scott Lang : Guys... I think it worked.

• Cassie Lang : [Scott looks stunned to see Cassie, now in her teens]  Dad?

  Scott Lang : [Taking it in after hugging her]  You're so big!

• Hawkeye : [running with the gauntlet]  Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?

  Captain America : Get those stones as far away as possible!

  Bruce Banner : No! We need to get them back where they came from.

  Iron Man : No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the Quantum Tunnel.

  Ant-Man : Hold on.

  [shrinks back to normal] 

  Ant-Man : That wasn't our only time machine.

  [sounds the horn of his van] 

  Captain America : Anyone see an ugly, brown van out there?

  Valkyrie : Yes, but you're not gonna like where it's parked.

  Iron Man : Scott, how long you need to get that thing working?

  Ant-Man : [as Wasp joins him]  Uh, maybe ten minutes.

  Captain America : Get it started. We'll get the stones to you!

  The Wasp : We're on it, Cap.

  [she and Scott share a smile before shrinking and flying off] 

• Tony Stark : Thumbelina, do you copy? I've got eyes on the prize. It is go-time.

  Ant-Man : Bombs away.

  [Sliding down to Tonys' Arc Reactor] 

  Ant-Man : Is... is that Axe body spray?

  Tony Stark : Yeah, I had a can just for emergencies. Relax. Can we focus, please?

  Ant-Man : I'm going inside you. Now.

• Scott Lang : [after the Decimation is reversed]  Guys... I think it worked.

• Ant-Man : [asking about the past STRIKE team]  Who are these guys?

  Tony Stark : They are S.H.I.E.L.D. Well, actually HYDRA, but we didn't know that yet.

  Ant-Man : Seriously? You didn't? I mean, they look like bad guys.

  Tony Stark : You're small, but you're talking loud?

• Natasha Romanoff : Have any of you guys ever studied Quantum Physics?

  Natasha Romanoff : Only in conversation.

  Scott Lang : Alright, five years ago, right before Thanos, I was in a place called Quantum Realm. The Quantum Realm is like its own microscopic universe. To get in there, you have to be incredibly small. Hope, she is my ah... she was my ah... she was supposed to pull me out and then Thanos happened and I got stuck in there.

  Natasha Romanoff : Sorry, that must have been a very long five years.

  Scott Lang : It wasn't. For me, it was five hours. See, the rules of Quantum realm aren't like they are up here. Everything is unpredictable. Is that anybody's sandwich? I am starving.

  Steve Rogers : Scott, what are you talking about?

  Scott Lang : What I am saing is... Time works differently in the Quantum Realm. I can't stop thinking about what if we could control the chaos and we could navigate it. What if there was a way we could enter the Quantum realm at a certain point in time, but then exit the Quantum realm at another point in time, like before Thanos.

  Steve Rogers : Wait, are you talking about a time machine?

  Scott Lang : No, of course not, not a time machine. This is more like a... yeah, like a time machine. I know it's crazy, it's crazy but I can't stop thinking about it. There is got to be some... it's crazy.

  Natasha Romanoff : Scott, I get emails from so nothing sounds crazy anymore.

  Scott Lang : So, who do we talk to about this?

• Nebula : Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir.

  Natasha Romanoff : [taking notes]  What is Vormir?

  Nebula : A dominion of death, at the very center of celestial existence. It's where Thanos murdered my sister.

  Scott Lang : [everyone looks at each other, Steve sighs]  Not it.

• Scott Lang : [to a boy on a bike]  Hey kid, what the hell happened here?

• Hulk : Come on, I feel like I'm the only one eating here. Try some of that. Have some eggs.

  Scott Lang : I'm so confused.

  Hulk : These are confusing times.

  Scott Lang : Right, no, no. That's... that's not what I... I meant.

  Hulk : Nah, I get it. I-I'm... I'm kidding! I know, it's crazy. I'm wearing shirts now.

  Scott Lang : Yeah. What? How? Why?

  Hulk : Five years ago, we got our asses beat. Except it was worse for me, 'cause I lost twice. First Hulk lost, then Banner lost, then we all lost.

  Natasha Romanoff : No one blamed you, Bruce.

  Hulk : I did. For years, I've been treating the Hulk like he's some kind of disease, something to get rid of. But then I started looking at him as the cure. Eighteen months in the gamma lab; I put the brains and the brawn together... and now, look at me. Best of both worlds.

• [Lang is about to eat a taco outside the Avengers headquarters when the Benatar lands, blowing away the contents of the taco shell] 

  Rocket : Hey, Humie. Where's Big Green?

  Scott Lang : The kitchen, I think.

  [Nebula walks towards the entrance] 

  Scott Lang : That's awesome.

  Nebula : [on radio]  Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's an idiot in the landing zone.

  [Rhodes lands near Lang, causing Lang to drop his taco shell] 

  Scott Lang : Oh, God.

  James Rhodes : What's up, Regular-Sized Man?

  [as Rhodes enters the building, Banner hands Lang two tacos before boarding the Benatar] 

• Ant-Man : You promise me you won't die?

  Tony Stark : We're only giving me a mild cardiac dysrhythmia.

  Ant-Man : That doesn't sound mild.

• Scott Lang : You never wanted a time heist. You... you weren't on board with the time heist.

  Tony Stark : I dropped the ball.

  Scott Lang : You ruined the time heist.

  Tony Stark : Is that what I did?

  Scott Lang : Yeah.

• Natasha Romanoff : [after Tony's refusal to help]  Well, he's scared.

  Steve Rogers : He's not wrong.

  Scott Lang : Yeah, but, I mean, what are... what are... what are we gonna do? We need him. What, are we gonna stop?

  Steve Rogers : No, I wanna do it right. We're gonna need a really big brain.

  Scott Lang : Bigger than his?

• Scott Lang : It's crazy.

  Natasha Romanoff : Scott... I get emails from a racoon. So, nothing sounds crazy anymore.

• Rocket : Hey Humie, where's Big Green?

  Scott Lang : The kitchen, I think.

  Scott Lang : [sees the ship Rocket and Nebula landed with]  That's awesome.

  Nebula : Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's an idiot in the landing zone.

  Scott Lang : [Rhodey lands right in front of Scott]  Oh, god.

  War Machine : What's up, Regular Sized Man?

• Steve Rogers : Are there any other options with the Tesseract?

  Scott Lang : No, no, no, there's no other options. There's no do-overs. We're not going anywhere else. We have one particle left. Each. That's it. All right? We use that... bye-bye, you're not going home.

  Steve Rogers : Yeah, well, if we don't try... then no one else is going home, either.

  Tony Stark : [getting an idea]  I got it. There's another way to re-take the Tesseract and acquire new particles. Little stroll down memory lane. Military installation, Garden State.

  Steve Rogers : [getting it]  When were they both there?

  Tony Stark : They were there at a time... I have a vaguely exact idea.

  Steve Rogers : How vague?

  Scott Lang : What are you talking about? What are we... where are we going?

  Tony Stark : I know for a fact they were there.

  Scott Lang : Who's "they"? What are we doing?

  Tony Stark : And I know how I know.

  Scott Lang : Guys, what's the... what is it?

  Steve Rogers : Well, it looks like we're improvising.

  Tony Stark : Great.

  Scott Lang : What are we improvising?
