"Or we could just stumble across Pym Particles and work from there," I say, squeezing a bit of danish into a tight ball before popping it into my mouth. "Not sure if that'd skew the science-vs-magic line this place seems to tap dance along, though. That was Pym's whole thing, yanno? Making science look like magic just 'cause it was so out there."

"You, Richards -- heck, even me. Why do we invent something? 'Cause we need it, right? There's a- A problem we're trying to fix. We wanna make something easier. This guy? This guy used that big ol' brain of his to talk to ants. Who needs to talk to ants?! Nobody! He was just... Inventing for the sake of inventing. So I'm thinking maybe that's what we need. To think outside the box. Come at this sideways. There's no punching our way through this one. Which really sucks, 'cause I could really go for punching the hell out of something right about now."
