Let's skip over the pirouettes that follow, but by dint of doing so, Scott narrowly avoids throwing up in his helmet, and wakes up... in Doctor Pym's house, with his daughter Hope watching over him while sending messages with a well-known application to remind everyone that the film has sponsors, damn it. Quickly, and after dodging the hordes of ants living in the house, Scott is invited to have breakfast at the Pyms' table, in the company of Hank and Hope. Who explain the situation to him.
"Okay, Scott, you see, I brought you here for a super dangerous mission that I don't want to fax lists entrust to my daughter.
" "I can do it, Dad! We don't need that rotten burglar!
" "No, it's too dangerous.
" "You underestimate me, boohoohoohoo!
" "While my daughter is having her teenage crisis and despite her genius, doesn't understand why a father refuses to entrust a super dangerous mission to his only child, let's talk about said mission. You see, I'm no longer the CEO of Pym'p My Ride, as you know. Because my right-hand man, Darren Cross, as well as my daughter here, ousted me years ago. Hence the fact that Cross is now in charge and that it's called Cross Industries.
" "It's funny this habit around tark, Pym, Cross... and by the way, are you more like Jean-Jacques Samsung or Jean-Michel Apple?"
“Focus, you scoundrel. Know that years ago, I discovered the secret to shrinking things and gadgets. Hence this suit. But I never wanted to share that secret, far too dangerous! But Darren Cross did. So after he took control of my company, he used it to try to replicate my work and sell it to the highest bidder. We have to stop that!
” “And your daughter here?
” “She finally realized Darren was a rogue and she's been quietly operating behind the scenes for me.
” “I think I have the solution.
” “Yes?
” “You take your arses, you go to the board, and with your combined family voting powers and your influence if that's not enough, you oust Cross.
” “Ha. Well, yes. But actually, we were thinking more of a ninja operation to erase all his work on the formula, and steal his Yellow Jacket.
” “You're allowed to be big idiots, you know.”
– Badgers? We're pretty much ants around here.
– Oh well, speaking of ants, where do you order ants from?
– Well, I don't know... I invented a thing that lets you shrink to the size of an ant, so I thought I should order ants?
– So, if you had shrunk to the size of people's butts, you would have ordered the Kardashians?
– Yeah, so you're going to stop right now, huh! I developed this little tool that attaches to your ear and lets you send orders to ants. And you're going to practice using it, because I want to train you to become Ant-Man, the shrinking man like I was when I was young, to go steal the Yellow Jacket and stop Cross's plans.
Here of always naming your company after yourself
