[The scene cuts to Steve, who has just defeated himself, jumping down from a building with the scepter]
TONY STARK: Cap–
[He turns around to see Tony and Scott sitting in a broken car.]
TONY STARK: Sorry, buddy. We got a– problem.
SCOTT LANG: Huh. Yeah, we do.
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 the 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–
Some nervously chuckle at Scott's rambling.
TONY STARK: You're repeating yourself, you know that? You're repeating yourself.
SCOTT LANG: You're repeating yourself. You're repeating yourself. You know– No.
TONY STARK: Dude, come on.
SCOTT LANG: You never wanted a time heist, you went 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!
Tony looks down, ashamed. He did. It's all his fault. Pepper tightens her grip on his hand.
Scott looks at Tony apologetically. "I'm sorry, man. I'm just stressed. I didn't mean it."
Tony shrugs and puts on a brave face. "It's fine. No big deal."
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, alright? 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: I got it. There's another way. To retake the Tesseract and acquire new particles. We'll stroll down memory lane. Military installation, Garden State.
Steve and Tony both look at the screen in realization. Everyone else, though, is confused. Where are they going?
STEVE ROGERS: When were they both there?
TONY STARK: They were there at a– I've a vaguely exact idea.
STEVE ROGERS: How vague?
SCOTT LANG: What are you talking about? 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 up? What is it?
TONY STARK: Well, it looks like we're improvising.
SCOTT LANG: Right. What are we improvising?
TONY STARK: Scott, get this back to the compound.
TONY STARK: Suit up.
SCOTT LANG: What's in New Jersey?
TONY STARK: 0-4,
STEVE ROGERS: 0-4– -
TONY STARK: Uhh, 0-7.
