【选段台词】

Scott:Hello. Who are you? Have you been standing there, watching me sleep, this whole time?

Hope:Yes.

Scott:Why?

Hope:Because the last time you were here, you stole something.

Scott:Oh. Oh. Hey, look...Whoa!

Hope:Paraponera clavata. Giant tropical bullet ants,ranked highest on the Schmidt pain index. They're here to keep an eye on you when I can't.

Hope:Dr. Pym's waiting for you downstairs.

Scott:Who? Hey! Um... Whose pajamas are these? How am I supposed to do this? All right, just one step at a time. Ugh! You don't bite me, I don't step on you. Deal?

Hope:I could take down the servers and Cross wouldn't even know it. We don't need this guy.

Dr. Pym:I assume that you've already met my daughter, Hope.

Scott:I did. She's great.

Dr. Pym:She doesn't think that we need you.

Hope:We don't. We can do this ourselves. 

Dr. Pym:I go to all this effort to let you steal my suit ,and then Hope has you arrested.

Hope:Okay, we can try this and when he fails, I'll do it myself.

Dr. Pym:She's a little bit anxious. It has to do with this job, which, judging by the fact that you're sitting opposite me, I take it that you're interested in.

Scott:What job?

Dr. Pym:Would you like some tea?

Scott:Uh... Sure.

Dr. Pym:I was very impressed with how you managed to get past my security system. Freezing that metal was particularly clever.

Scott:Were you watching me?

Dr. Pym:Scott, I've been watching you for a while. Ever since you robbed Vista Corp.

Scott:Oh! Excuse me.

Dr. Pym:"Burgled" Vista Corp. Vista's security system was one of the most advanced in the business. It was supposed to be unbeatable. But you beat it. Would you like some sugar?

Scott:Yeah, thanks. You know what? I'm okay. How do you make them do that?

Dr. Pym:Ants can lift objects 50 times their weight. They build, farm, they cooperate with each other.

Scott:Right. But how do you make them do that?

Dr. 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:And still know absolutely nothing. I'm late to meet Cross.

Scott:Uh... Dr. Pym?

Dr. Pym:You don't need to raise your hand, Scott.

Scott: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. Pym:Come with me. 40 years ago, I created a formula that altered atomic relative distance.

Scott:Huh?

Dr. Pym:I learned how to change the distance between atoms. That's what powers the suit. That's why it works.

Scott:Wow. Whoa!

Dr. Pym:But it was dangerous. It was too dangerous. So I hid it from the world. And that's when I switched gears and I started my own company.

Scott:Pym Tech.

Dr. Pym:Yes. I took on a young protégé called Darren Cross. Darren Cross. He's a big deal. But before he was a big deal, he was my assistant. I thought I saw something in him. The son I never had, perhaps. He was brilliant, but as we became close, he began to suspect that I wasn't telling him everything. He heard rumors about what was called the Pym Particle, and he became obsessed with recreating my formula. But I wouldn't help him. So he conspired against me and he voted me out of my own company.

Scott:How could he do that?

Dr. Pym:The board's chairman is my daughter, Hope. She was the deciding vote. But she came back to me when she saw how close Cross was to cracking my formula. The process is highly volatile. If one isn't protected by a specialized helmet, it can affect the brain's chemistry. I don't think Darren realizes this, and, you know, he's not the most stable guy to begin with.

Scott:So, what do you want from me?

Dr. Pym:Scott, I believe that everyone deserves a shot at redemption.

Scott:Do you?

Dr. Pym:I do. If you can help me, I promise I can help you be with your daughter again. Now, are you ready to redeem yourself?

Scott:Absolutely. My days of breaking into places and stealing shit are done. What do you want me to do?

Dr. Pym:I want you to break into a place and steal some shit.
