Confusion Over Truth Serum Claims
Luis
You know what, you're right. This isn't truth serum. Cause I don't feel anything. That was a lie. I did feel something. This is truth serum!
[beat]
Uzman
No such thing...!
Sonny Burch
Okay... Okay, okay. I'mma make this really easy for you, Luis...
Luis
Okay.
Sonny Burch
Where... is Scott Lang?
Luis
Oh see, that's complicated. Cause when I first met Scott, he was in a bad place. And I'm not talkin about Cellblock D; his wife had just filed for divorce, and I was like: "Damn homie, she dumped you while you are locked up?!" And he was like: "Yeah, you know, I thought I was gonna be with her for ever, but now I'm all alone!" And I was like: "Damn homie, you know what, you gotta chin up, cause you'll find a new partner, you know what? I'm Luis!" And he says: "You know what? I'm Scottie, and we're gonna be best friends"--
[flashback starts, showing Scott in his prison cell as Luis joins him]
Sonny Burch
Okay, hold on, hold on. I like a good story as much as the next person, but what in the hell does this have to do with where Scott Lang is?
[interrupts flashback]
Luis
I'm getting there! I'm getting there.
Dave
You put a dime in him, you gotta let the whole song play out.
Kurt
He hit like human jukebox.
Luis
Oh, my abuelita had a jukebox in her restaurant! Yeah, only played ]. And if anybody ever complained, she'd be like: "Oh, ¿no te gusta Moz?" - you know, chicanos, we call him Moz - "then ¡adios!" What can I say, ya know, we relate to his melancholic ballads, ya know?
[another flashback begins; [Morrissey; flashback ends]
Sonny Burch
Lang.
Luis
Right, right, right, right, right, right. So anyway, Scottie gets out of jail, and he starts working for Hank, that's when he met Hope. And Hope's all like: "I want nothing to do with you, look at my hairdo, I'm all business!" And then Scottie's like: "You know what, girl, my heart is all broken, and I'll probably never find love again, but damn if I wanna kiss you!!" But then you fast-forward and they're all like into each other, right? And then Scottie's like: "You know what, I can't tell you this, but ]!" And then she said: "I can't believe you split like that! Smell you later, dummy!" So Scottie was on house arrest, and he wouldn't admit it, but his heart was all like: "Damn, I thought Hope coulda been my new true partner, but I blew it!" But fate brought em back together, and then Hope's heart is all: "I'm worried that I can't trust him, and he's gonna screw up again and ruin everything!" And then my heart is all like: "That fancy raspberry filling represents the company's red, and we're days away from going out of business-- OOOOH!
[flashback starts with Scott and Hope in the Pyms' home; flashback switches to Scott and Hope making out in a corridor; [Captain America: Civil War|I'm gonna go thrash an airport with Captain America; flashback switches to Hope talking on her phone on the street; flashback stops momentarily before switching to Scott in his house arrest; flashback stops, then switches to Scott and Hope at the office of Luis' security company; in the flashback, Luis is staring at the Entenmann's Raspberry Danish Twist box on his desk]
Kurt
Out of business?!
Dave
Days away?!
Luis
Damn truth serum! Aw, ya know, I was tryin to protect you guys, I swear to God, and ya know, I was tryin to be a good boss, but we're broke, and the Karapetyans are our last hope, and if we don't show up, we're done!
Kurt
That's terrible bossing!
Dave
Damn, bro!!!
Luis
That's on me! That's on me--
Sonny Burch
Hey! Enough. I'm gonna ask you one more time. Where is Scott Lang?
[already losing his patience]
Luis
I've been tryin to tell you, he's in a tricky spot, emotionally speaking!
Sonny Burch
Emotionally speaking? Well, where is Scott Lang... LITERALLY SPEAKING?!?
[angrily]
Luis
Oh! The woods.
Ghost
The woods??
Kurt
BABA YAGA!!!
[panicking]
Ghost
What do you mean, "the woods"?!
[grabbing Luis]
Luis
The Muir Woods! The second fire road off the Panoramic Highway!
[terrified]
Ghost
...For God's sake!
[annoyed; leaves]
Kurt
Baba Yaga, come at night, little children, sleeping tight...
[singing, terrified]
