THANK YOU, BOB.
YES, THIS YEAR'S CHILLY
THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
IS A REAL LANDMARK,
COMBINING THE LATEST
IN ANIMATRONICS AND ROBOTICS
WITH THE PARADE'S
TRADITIONAL POPULAR
CHARACTERS.
AND SPEAKING OF POPULAR,
AS WE PROMISED YOU EARLIER,
HERE COME
THE WORLD-FAMOUS AVENGERS.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THIS RITUAL.
HA HA HA HA.
WELL, VISION, PARADES
ARE A KIND OF CELEBRATION.
THEY'RE FUN.
SO, IT IS FUN
TO STAND EXPOSED
TO A WINDCHILL FACTOR
OF MINUS 10
AND VIEW
ODDLY DECORATED VEHICLES
AND LARGE BAGS OF HELIUM?
HA HA. IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
WHAT'S THAT?
AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!
HENRY,
WHAT IS GOING ON?
IT'S LIKE THE BALLOONS
ARE POSSESSED.
EACH OF YOU FIND A TARGET
AND GET IT CLEAR
OF ALL THESE PEOPLE.
ON IT, BOSS MAN.
Ant Man: TIME TO CUT
THAT DRAGON DOWN TO SIZE.
HENRY, WAIT,
IF YOU GROW THAT LARGE --
JAN, I'VE GOT TO.
[ GRUNTING ]
[ COUGHING ]
[ GRUNTING ]
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
GROWING TOO FAST.
CAN'T CONTROL
MY PYM PARTICLES.
AHH!
HENRY!
HENRY, LOOK OUT!
MOVE TO YOUR RIGHT.
[ GROANS ]
I'M COMING TO HELP YOU.
NO, JAN,
STAY WITH THE TEAM.
I'VE GOT TO GET BACK
TO THE LAB.
PLEASE, JUST STOP
THOSE MACHINES.
INCREASING DENSITY.
THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA.
WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE.
TIGRA, FALCON --
THE MATRIX MANEUVER.
ON MY SIGNAL, GO!
[ ROARS ]
[ ROARS ]
YEAH, BABY!
I THINK WE'VE PUT
THIS ONE TO BED.
Wasp: NICE WORK,
AVENGERS.
LET'S LET THE POLICE
TAKE IT FROM HERE.
NOW WE HAVE TO HELP HENRY.
[ GROANS ]
MUST BE A WAY
TO TURN THIS THING OFF.
LOOK OUT!
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH GIANT MAN?
[ GROANS ]
OH!
G- GOOD GRACIOUS!
DR. PYM!
J- JARVIS.
OHH!
Wasp: HENRY, IT'S ME.
YOU'RE SAFE AT HOME.
Vision: IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT SOMETHING EXTERNAL
TRIGGERED THE ACCELERATED
GROWTH OF THE PYM PARTICLES.
LOOK, HAWKEYE, I'M STILL
KIND OF NEW AROUND HERE.
WHAT ARE THESE
PYM PARTICLES?
WELL, THEY'RE WHAT
MAKES WASP SHRINK --
SOMETHING ABOUT
DISPLACING THE BODY MASS.
[ GROANS ]
EXCEPT NOW,
FOR SOME REASON,
HANK CAN'T SHUT THEM OFF.
I HAVE ACCESSED
THE MANSION'S
MEDICAL RECORDS.
ANT MAN'S
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
CANNOT TAKE THE STRAIN
MUCH LONGER.
Hawkeye: WHAT?
IF HE GROWS TO A HEIGHT
OF 150 FEET,
HE WILL DIE.
I MUST RETURN
TO MY WORK.
TV Anchor: WHILE THE AVENGERS
ARE COMMENDED
FOR THEIR QUICK REACTION
TO THIS MORNING'S
PARADE DISASTER,
ANT MAN'S OWN
UNCONTROLLED GROWTH
CONTRIBUTED TO THE ESTIMATED
$70 MILLION WORTH OF DAMAGE.
ONE OF ANT MAN -- NOW
GIANT MAN'S FORMER COLLEAGUES
HAS JOINED A GROWING CHORUS
OF CONDEMNATION.
EVEN BACK AT THE UNIVERSITY,
I KNEW DR. PYM'S EXPERIMENTS
IN SIZE MANIPULATION
WOULD LEAD TO DISASTER.
FRANKLY, IT WOULDN'T
SURPRISE ME
IF HIS SO-CALLED
PYM PARTICLES
CREATED INTERFERENCE
THAT CAUSED THAT PARADE
TO RUN AMOK.
HUMPTY DUMPTY'S
TRYING TO BLAME US?
SO, YOU KNOW THAT EGGHEAD?
IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
WE HAVE TO FIND OUT
WHAT CAUSED THOSE FLOATS
TO GO HAYWIRE.
NO, NO, THAT'S NOT
IMPORTANT NOW, HENRY.
YOU ARE MY FIRST PRIORITY.
IF WE CAN'T CONTROL
YOUR GROWTH --
I KNOW, I KNOW.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU AND VISION STAY
AND WORK WITH ME ON A CURE.
THE REST OF YOU
CHECK OUT
THE PARADE ROUTE.
STAY COOL, BIG GUY.
WE GOT IT.
WE'VE SCANNED THIS THING'S
WHOLE COMPUTER SYSTEM.
SO FAR, THERE IS
NO SIGN OF ANYTHING
THAT COULD HAVE MADE ANT MAN
GROW OUT OF CONTROL.
WANDA, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
RUN THAT
PARADE FOOTAGE AGAIN.
WHO'S THE CLOWN
WITH THE BUBBLES?
I HAVE NEVER
TRUSTED CLOWNS.
Tigra: IT'S EGGHEAD!
OH, YEAH.
LOOKS LIKE
I JUST GOT A TARGET.
HAWKEYE, JUST 'CAUSE
EGGHEAD'S IN THE PARADE
DOESN'T MEAN HE DID
ANYTHING TO ANT MAN.
LOOK AT THE TAPE.
EGGHEAD NEVER TOUCHES HIM.
Scarlet Witch: I AGREE.
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE
OF CONTACT.
Falcon: OH, YES, THERE IS.
CHECK OUT
THE CHEMICAL SCAN.
THOSE AREN'T
ORDINARY BUBBLES.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT'S HOW HE DID IT.
NOW, THAT'S SLICK.
EGGHEAD SPIKES THE BUBBLES,
AND ANT MAN
JUST BREATHES IT IN.
AHH, THAT'S NOT NICE.
BUT WITHOUT THE LIQUID
EGGHEAD USED TO MAKE,
WE ARE NO CLOSER
TO HELPING HANK
THAN WHEN WE STARTED.
"DRAGON BREATH" HERE
GOT A FACEFULL
OF THOSE BUBBLES, TOO,
RIGHT?
YES, BUT --
IF WASP AND VISION
CAN ANALYZE THE RESIDUE,
MAYBE THEY CAN
FIGURE OUT A CURE.
BEGGING YOUR PARDON,
MRS. PYM,
BUT YOU HAVE GUESTS. DOH!
THERE,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
LIES THE OVERGROWN
DR. HENRY PYM.
A VICTIM
OF HIS OWN ARROGANCE.
STARR...
ONLY A SECOND RATE SCIENTIST
COULD HAVE GOTTEN
INTO SUCH DIRE STRAITS.
WHEREAS I,
ELIHAS STARR --
LOOK, ELIHAS,
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT
TO COME IN HERE
EXPLOITING HENRY'S CONDITION
TO PROMOTE YOURSELF!
IF YOU'RE SO BRILLIANT,
HELP US TO SAVE HIM!
HMM. I THOUGHT
YOU'D NEVER ASK.
I TOOK THE LIBERTY
OF DEVELOPING THIS
COUNTERMEASURE.
SIMPLE, REALLY, IF YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THIS SOLUTION WILL PURGE
HENRY'S HYPOTHALAMUS
OF PYM PARTICLES,
THEREBY RECALIBRATING
HIS AUTO-METABOLIC
NERVOUS SYSTEM.
IN LAYMAN'S TERMS,
IT'LL PUSH HIS RESET BUTTON.
HIS APPROACH
DOES SOUND LOGICAL.
I DON'T CARE.
I DON'T TRUST HIM.
NO!
UHH!
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
I THINK I'M TRYING
TO SAVE YOUR HUSBAND, JAN.
Ant Man: [ COUGHS ]
HENRY?
[ GROANING ]
OHH.
I SUPPOSE
I SHOULD THANK YOU.
NO NEED.
I'M JUST GLAD
I FINALLY HAD THE CHANCE
TO BRING HENRY PYM
DOWN TO SIZE.
WOMAN: QUICK QUESTION.
Woman #2: OVER HERE!
DR. STARR,
THIS EGGHEAD THING...
Man: ONE MORE QUESTION.
HOW DID YOU GET...
Man: #2: HOW DID YOU...
OH, THAT INSUFFERABLE
LITTLE --
WASP, VISION,
THE PARADE WAS A TRAP!
EGGHEAD SET IT ALL UP.
HENRY?
HENRY?
HE'S, HE'S GONE!
NO!
WHERE'D HE GO?
PERHAPS HE DID NOT
GO ANYWHERE.
YOU MEAN
HE KEPT ON SHRINKING?
EVERYONE STOP.
DON'T MAKE A MOVE.
I HOPE THAT'S
A PIECE OF GUM.
NOT FUNNY, HAWKEYE.
HENRY.
HENRY, DO YOU READ ME?
YES, JAN, I READ YOU.
WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M -- I'M NOT SURE.
IT LOOKS FAMILIAR, BUT --
AAH!
I'M ON THE COT!
THE COT! WHOA!
HENRY, WHAT HAPPENED?
HENRY?
I BELIEVE
I WAS JUST RUN OVER
BY A HERD OF DUST MITES.
DUST MITES?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M OKAY, YES,
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT
EGGHEAD PULLED
A FAST ONE ON US.
GIVEN HIS CURRENT RATE
OF REDUCTION,
HIS BODY MASS WILL IMPLODE
AT A SUB-ATOMIC LEVEL
IN APPROXIMATELY
ONE HOUR.
YOU'RE JUST ONE BIG BALL
OF SUNSHINE, AREN'T YOU?
HEY, BOSS,
BACK AT THE PARADE,
EGGHEAD WAS THE CLOWN
WITH THE BUBBLES.
WE THINK THEY'RE WHAT
TRIGGERED YOUR PYM PARTICLES.
Ant Man: YES,
THAT'S POSSIBLE! JAN?
WHAT IS IT, HENRY
I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
REMEMBER WHAT EGGHEAD SAID
ABOUT RESETTING
MY ON/OFF SWITCH?
YES. SO?
I WANT YOU AND VISION
TO COMPARE NY BUBBLE RESIDE
WITH THE SO-CALLED ANTIDOTE
EGGHEAD GAVE ME.
I'M SORRY,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WELL, IF WE ANALYZE
TE TWO,
MAYBE WE'LL FIND
SOME COMMON TRIGGER POINT
WHICH WILL --
HENRY?
HENRY!
Scarlet Witch:
WE HAVE TO HELP HIM!
THAT IS INADVISABLE.
YOU MIGHT CRUSH HIM
IN THE PROCESS.
GUYS, WE'VE GOT
TO DO SOMETHING!
LOOK, JUST FIND EGGHEAD
AND BRING HIM BACK HERE.
WE'LL FIND AN ANTIDOTE.
TRUST ME.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
WE'LL SAVE MY HUSBAND.
OH, PLEASE BE ALL RIGHT,
HENRY -- PLEASE.
Reporter: IN SPITE
OF DR. PYM'S DRAMATIC RETURN
TO NORMAL SIZE EARLIER TODAY,
THE MEDIA HAS BEEN BANNED
FROM THE AVENGERS' MANSION,
LEADING TO SPECULATION
THAT ALL IS NOT WELL
WITH ANT MAN.
WHY SPECULATE?
I KNOW MY TOXIN
IS WORKING.
HENRY PYM SHOULD BE
A MERE SPECK BY NOW.
HEH HEH HEH HEH.
I DO BELIEVE
I HAVE GUESTS.
PYM'S LITTLE PLAYMATES,
NO DOUBT.
TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN.
GUESS THEY KNOW WE'RE HERE.
LET'S MOVE IT.
TIGRA --
YOU, ME, AND FALCON
WILL DRAW
CLUCKHEADS ATTENTION.
THAT LEAVES ME
TO DO WHAT?
FIND THIS PLAYGROUND'S
COMMAND CENTER
AND HEX IT
OUT OF COMMISSION!
Falcon: WHERE ARE
ALL THE SECURITY GUARDS?
OH, SORRY I ASKED.
SCARLET WITCH,
THE COMMAND CENTER!
I'M ON MY WAY.
Hawkeye:
EGGHEAD'S BEEN BUSY.
HAWKEYE, TIGRA --
INCOMING!
WHERE'S YOUR BIG-SHOT
MICRO-LEADER NOW, AVENGERS?
WHERE? I'LL TELL YOU WHERE.
EATING HIS OWN DUST!
JAN, VISION,
CAN ANYONE READ ME?
DON'T MOVE!
AT THIS SIZE,
EVERY STEP YOU TAKE IS LIKE
A 10-POINT EARTHQUAKE!
SAME GOES FOR VISION.
UNDERSTOOD.
DECREASING DENSITY.
ANT MAN,
WOULD IT NOT BE WISE
TO TEST THIS FORMULA
VIA SIMULATION
BEFORE YOU USE IT?
THERE'S NO TIME.
BESIDES, IF IT'S
THE WRONG ONE,
I'M DEAD ANYWAY.
DO IT.
IT IS DONE,
BUT HOW ARE WE TO
ADMINISTER IT TO ANT MAN?
HE IS SO SMALL.
DON'T FORGET, VISION,
HENRY'S NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN SHRINK.
JAN, TO SACRIFICE
YOURSELF FOR HENRY IS
TO JEOPARDIZE THE LEADERSHIP
OF THE AVENGERS.
VISION, ANY ONE OF YOU
IS CAPABLE OF LEADING
THE AVENGERS,
BUT I LOVE HENRY,
AND I'M GOING
TO TAKE THIS CHANCE.
WITHOUT THAT,
THE AVENGERS
WOULDN'T EVEN EXIST.
CONTROL SYSTEMS
USE SOFTWARE.
ALL SOFTWARE HAS POTENTIAL
FOR FAILURE.
LET US IMPROVE THE ODDS.
WINDS OF DESTINY, CHANGE!
AAH!
WHAT -- WHAT HAPPENED?
NICE SHOOTING, GIRLFRIEND.
Egghead: THEY'LL NEVER
MAKE ME CRACK.
[ LAUGHING EVILLY ]
HANG ON, HENRY.
HERE I COME.
UNHAND ME, YOU WORMS.
Jan: [ SOBBING ]
NO! NO, NOT MY HUSBAND!
NO, NOT LIKE THIS.
HIS DEATH
WAS MOST UNFORTUNATE.
YES.
YES.
DEAD.
FINISHED. KAPUT!
I WON.
I, ELIHAS STARR,
HAVE DESTROYED
THE CELEBRATED HENRY PYM!
YOU SAID HE WAS DEAD!
IT FELT STRANGE TO ME,
BUT IT WAS APPROPRIATE.
I BELIEVE THE TERM IS,
"I LIED."
BUT I DESIGNED
THE HYPOTHALAMUS
OVERRIDE MYSELF.
NO ONE COULD HAVE FOUND
AN ANTIDOTE -- NO ONE!
OH, YOU MEAN THIS
ANTIDOTE WE DEVELOPED?
WHAT?
YOU --
YOU COULDN'T POSSIBLY --
[ COUGHS ]
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?
HEY! HEY!
I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED
PYM PARTICLES INSIDE YOU
TO SHRINK.
I PUT SOME IN THE SPRAY,
BUT MODIFIED
WITH A SHORT HALF-LIFE.
THEY'LL WEAR OFF
IN A FEW HOURS.
I'M WARNING YOU!
I'M RICH! RICH!
I'LL SUE!
I HAVE MORE LAWYERS
THAN YOU HAVE UNDERWEAR!
YOU'LL SEE!
HEY!
PUT A LID ON IT,
WILL YOU?
Henry: OFFICERS,
ARREST DR. STARR.
I'LL FILE A COMPLAINT --
IF YOU'LL PARDON
THE EXPRESSION -- SHORTLY.
BUT YOU CAN WATCH
EGGHEAD'S CONFESSION
IN THE MEANTIME.
Reporter: IN THE WAKE
OF THE ARREST
OF DR. ELIHAS STARR,
THE INFAMOUS EGGHEAD,
THE AVENGERS HAVE BEEN
VINDICATED OF ANY WRONG DOING.
THEY'VE EVEN BEEN ASKED TO
RETURN AS GRAND MARSHALLS
IN NEXT YEAR'S
THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE.
NOW HERE'S ENTERTAINMENT
NEWS WITH RON MYRICK.
I THINK I'VE HAD IT
WITH PARADES.
BUT TIGRA, I THOUGHT
YOU SAID THEY WERE FUN.
OH, I DON'T KNOW.
HENRY, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
AVENGERS, HOW ABOUT
