The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy? It's the free market. And you're a part of it. You've got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I've still got a lot to teach you.

— Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), Wall Street

[1989: Hank Pym storms S.H.I.E.L.D's board room in the Triskelion]
Hank Pym: Stark.

Howard Stark: [murmuring] He doesn't seem happy… [normal] Hello, Hank, You're supposed to be in Moscow.

Hank Pym: I took a detour. [takes a Pym Particle vial and puts it on the desk] Through your defense lab.

Peggy Carter: Tell me that isn't what I think it is.

Hank Pym: That depends if you think it's a poor attempt to replicate my work. Even for this group, that takes nerve.

Mitchell Carson: You were instructed to go to Russia. May I remind you, Dr. Pym, that you're a soldier?

Hank Pym: I'm a scientist.

Howard Stark: Then act like one, The Pym Particle is the most revolutionary science ever developed, help us put it to good use.

Hank Pym: I let you turn me into your errand boy, and now you try to steal my research?

Mitchell Carson: If only you'd protected Janet with such ferocity, Dr. Pym. [Pym takes a moment to control himself before he slams Carson's head into the desk]

Peggy Carter: [intervening] Easy, Hank!

Hank Pym: You mention my wife again, and I'll show you ferocity.

Howard Stark: [as Carson stares at him] Don't look at me. You said it.

Hank Pym: I formally tender my resignation.

Howard Stark: We won't accept it…formally. Hank, we need you. The Pym Particle is a miracle. Please, don't let your past determine the future.

Hank Pym: As long as I am alive, nobody will ever get that formula. [Pym turns around and leaves calmly]

Mitchell Carson: We shouldn't let him leave the building.

Peggy Carter: You've already lied to him, now you want to go to war with him?

Mitchell Carson: Yes! Our scientists haven't come close to replicating his work.

Howard Stark: He just kicked your ass full-size. You really want to find out what it's like when you can't see him coming?

— Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), Ant-Man
