INT. STARK ECO-COMPOUND, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
PHOTOS crowd a side table: Pepper, Morgan, Tony. Even one of HOWARD STARK, PEGGY CARTER & HANK PYM UNDER A SHIELD SYMBOL.
Find...PEPPER, curled up on the couch reading. Then...
TONY (O.S.)
Out like a light. Don’t know how much she loves you but she loves me three thousand.
PEPPER POTTS
That’s up there.
TONY
What’re you reading?
PEPPER POTTS
A book about composting
TONY
I think I solved it.
Pepper looks up.
PEPPER POTTS
Just so we’re both talking about the same thing-
TONY
Time travel.
PEPPER POTTS
That’s amazing.
TONY
Yeah.
PEPPER POTTS
And terrifying.
TONY
To say the least.
He sits beside her.
She stares, SHARING IN HIS DILEMMA.
PEPPER POTTS
We got really lucky-
TONY
I know-
PEPPER POTTS
Not everybody did.
TONY
I can’t help everybody.
PEPPER POTTS
Except, it sort of seems like you can.
TONY
Not if I stopped right here.
PEPPER POTTS
Tony, trying to get you to stop is one of the few failures of my life.
TONY
I could just lock the lab, put it in a trunk, sink it to the bottom of the lake, and go to bed.
PEPPER POTTS
But could you rest?
INT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, HANGAR - DAY
SCOTT WAITS IN HIS ANT-MAN 2 QUANTUM SUIT IN FRONT OF THE
OPEN VAN DOORS.
SCOTT LANG
You’re sure these modifications are safe?
He looks over to...SMART HULK, WEARING READING GLASSES,
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO A NEW CONTROL PANEL.
SMART HULK
I reran my calculations three times-
SCOTT LANG
Because the guy who invented this thing is pretty much a genius-
SMART HULK
I have seven PhD’s, an MD, the Hans Bethe Award for Physics, and I’m personal friends with Bill Nye the Science Guy. We’re good.
SCOTT LANG
Yeah. And you look like that on purpose.
STEVE and NATASHA enter from outside.
STEVE
Breakers are set, emergency
generator’s on stand-by.
SMART HULK
Good. If we blow the grid, I don’t want to lose Tiny back in the ‘50’s.
SCOTT LANG
Excuse me?
NATASHA
He was kidding.
SMART HULK
I was kidding.
NATASHA
(to Hulk)
You were kidding, right?
SMART HULK
Honestly, I have no idea. We’re attempting time travel. Either it’s all a joke, or none of it is.
(loudly to Scott)
We’re good! Helmet on.
Scott puts on his helmet, slightly dubious.
SMART HULK (CONT'D)
Okay. I’m going to send you back one week, give you an hour to look around, then bring you back in ten
seconds. Make sense?
SCOTT LANG
Perfectly not confusing.
STEVE
Good luck, Scott. You’ve got this.
SCOTT LANG
(inspired)
Yes, I do, Captain America. Yes, I-
SMART HULK PULLS A LEVER. SCOTT SHRINKS TO NOTHING.
SMART HULK
Counting down from three, two,
one...
SUDDENLY SCOTT REAPPEARS...BUT HE’S 12-YEARS-OLD.
SCOTT LANG
Uh, guys? This doesn’t feel right.
NATASHA
Is that Scott?
SMART HULK
Probably...?
He scrambles, hitting buttons.
SCOTT SHRINKS TO NOTHING.
STEVE
Get him back!
Smart Hulk flips a switch.
SCOTT REAPPEARS...AT AGE 93.
SCOTT LANG
Oh, my back!
NATASHA
Bruce! Get it under control. What the hell is going on?
SMART HULK
I got it, I know exactly what’s going on. Pretty much.
SCOTT SHRINKS TO NOTHING AGAIN. HULK TYPES FRANTICALLY with A PENCIL, fingers too big for the keys.
2-YEAR OLD SCOTT APPEARS.
NATASHA
Oh, my God.
STEVE
It’s a baby.
SMART HULK
It’s Scott.
STEVE
As a baby!
Smart Hulk hits a button. Baby Scott disappears.
SMART HULK
When I tell you, kill the power!
(throwing a switch)
Now!
NATASHA KILLS THE POWER.
Normal Scott stumbles off the pad.
SCOTT LANG
Somebody peed my pants. I don’t know if it was baby-me or old-me.
Or just me-me.
EXT. AVENGERS COMPOUND, HANGAR - DAY
Steve leans on the wall, discouraged. Then he hears AN
ENGINE ROAR. AN AUDI races up the drive.
It stops, the window rolling down to reveal...TONY.
