Where... is Scott Lang?

Oh see, that's complicated. Cause when I first met Scott, he was in a bad place.

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"--

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!
