Quotes 

• 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. 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.

• Jimmy Woo : But, Doctor, campus police says they IDed both Pym and Van Dyne.

  Dr. Bill Foster : I don't know what to tell you, Agent. I haven't talked to Hank in 30 years. I can assure you I'm the last person he would want to visit.

  Agent Stoltz : Oh, come on, you expect us, to...

  Jimmy Woo : Hey, hey. Why is that?

  Dr. Bill Foster : Simple. We hate each other's guts.

• Ava : Leave me here.

  Dr. Bill Foster : We can make it.

  Ava : You said it yourself. I've hurt people. But you haven't. Go. Please!

  Dr. Bill Foster : We can make it, Ava.

  Ava : Bill...

  Dr. Bill Foster : I'm not leaving you.

• 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.

• Ava : Dr. Foster did his best to keep me safe. But others at S.H.I.E.L.D. saw an opportunity in my affliction. They built me a containment suit, so I could control my phasing. And trained me to be a stealth operative. They weaponized me. I stole for them. Spied for them. I killed for them. And in exchange for my soul... they were going to cure me. They lied.

  Dr. Bill Foster : When S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed, I took Ava in. I built the chamber to slow her decay, but her condition was progressive. I didn't know how to cure it.

  [a phone begins buzzing and quacking] 

  Dr. Bill Foster : She wanted to kill you, Hank, but I told her no, and that she should watch you instead. And sure enough, she discovered that you were building the tunnel.

  [the buzzing and quacking continues] 

  Dr. Bill Foster : Then she told me about Lang. And the message from Janet inside his head...

  [the buzzing and quacking continues] 

  Dr. Bill Foster : ...that's when I... Christ's sake!

  Scott Lang : That's me. I'm sorry. Look, can you tell me who's texting me?

  Dr. Bill Foster : "Cassie, 911."

  Scott Lang : That's my daughter. I need to text her back.

  Dr. Bill Foster : No, that's not happening.

  Scott Lang : What, it's 911. That means it's an emergency.

  Dr. Bill Foster : You're not making demands here, Lang. You're not appreciating the gravity of the...

  Scott Lang : [the phone begins ringing]  Okay, look, she's trying to video chat me now. Something might be wrong. Let me talk to her. Please.

• Dr. Bill Foster : It's incredible. Your link to Janet. It's Quantum entanglement, between the quantum states composed of her molecules and your brains.

  Scott Lang : Yeah. That's what I was thinking. Do you guys just put the word 'quantum' in front of everything?

• 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.
