Dialogue

Young N'Jadaka: Baba. N'Jobu: Yes, my son? Young N'Jadaka: Tell me a story. N'Jobu: Which one? Young N'Jadaka: The story of home. N'Jobu: Millions of years ago, a meteorite made of vibranium, the strongest substance in the universe, struck the continent of Africa, affecting the plant life around it. And when the time of men came, five tribes settled on it and called it Wakanda. The tribes lived in constant war with each other until a warrior shaman received a vision from the panther goddess Bast, who led him to the Heart-Shaped Herb, a plant that granted him superhuman strength, speed, and instincts. The warrior became king and the first Black Panther, the protector of Wakanda. Four tribes agreed to live under the king's rule, but the Jabari tribe isolated themselves in the mountains. The Wakandans used vibranium to develop technology more advanced than any other nation, but as Wakanda thrived, the world around it descended further into chaos. To keep vibranium safe, the Wakandans vowe

Dialogue

N'Jobu: Hey, look if we get in and out quick, it'll be no worries. You and the van come in from the west and laying right here. Me and the twins come in on the east, leaving this car behind. We'll come in ..... N'Jobu: Hide the straps. Zuri: Yo, is it the Feds? N'Jobu: No. Zuri: It's these two Grace Jones looking chicks. They hold spears. N'Jobu: [Recognizing who the women are] Open it. Zuri: Are you serious? N'Jobu: They won't knock again.

Dialogue

N'Jobu: I observed for as long as I could. Their leaders have been assassinated. Communities flooded with drugs and weapons. They are overly policed and incarcerated. All over the planet, our people suffer because they don't have the tools to fight back. With vibranium weapons they can overthrow all countries and Wakanda can rule them all, the right way. T'Chaka: [to his brother] Did you think you were the only spy we sent to the States? [Zuri reveals himself]

Dialogue

Zuri: So, your mission did not go as planned. T'Challa: What happened to my uncle, N'Jobu? My father told me he disappeared. There was a man today wearing a ring identical to this one. Zuri: It is not possible. T'Challa: He helped Klaue escape from us and he was wearing this ring. My grandfather's ring! Do not tell me what is impossible, tell me the truth! Zuri: Some truths... [Exhales deeply] are too much to bear, T'Challa. T'Challa:: That is not your choice to make. What happened to him? Zuri: I promised the king to say nothing. T'Challa: [Irritated] I AM YOUR KING NOW! Zuri: Your uncle took a War Dog assignment in America. Your father placed me there to observe unbeknownst to him. Your uncle fell in love with an American woman, they had a child. The hardship he saw there radicalized your uncle. N'Jobu: I observed for as long as I could. Their leaders have been assassinated. Communities flooded with drugs and weapons. They are overly policed and incarcerated. All over the planet, our

Dialogue

Shuri: Strike it. T'Challa: Anywhere? Shuri: Mmm-hmm. Shuri: [indignantly] Not that hard, genius! T'Challa: You told me to strike it! You didn't say how hard! Shuri: I invite you to my lab and you just kick things around?!

Dialogue

Ulysses Klaue: [Cuffed to a chair, singing] "Don't hurt me, no more! What is love? Baby, don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more..." [Casually] You know, you really shouldn't trust the Wakandans. I'm much more your speed. Ross: I don't trust anybody, not in this job. But what I AM interested in is that arm cannon out there. Where'd you get that? Klaue: It's an old mining tool that I made some adjustments to. But I can, uh, get you one if you like. Ross: Why don't you give me the name of your supplier, and I'll ask them? Klaue: He's right outside. Why don't you ask him yourself? Ross: What, T'Challa? You're telling me that weapon on your arm is from Wakanda? Klaue: [Winks and clicks] Bingo. What do you actually know about Wakanda? Ross: Um... Shepherds, textiles, cool outfits... Klaue: It's all a front. Explorers searched for it for centuries. "El Dorado, the Golden City" – they thought they could find it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time. A technological marvel. All b

Dialogue

T'Challa: [In Xhosa] Kuthetha. (translation: "Speak.") W'Kabi: Speak. Killmonger: I'm standing in your house. Serving justice to a man who stole your vibranium and murdered your people. Justice your king couldn't deliver. T'Challa: I don't care that you brought Klaue. The only reason I don't kill you where you stand is because I know who you are. Now what do you want? Killmonger: I want the throne. T'Challa: And what tools are those? Killmonger: Vibranium. Your weapons. T'Challa: Our weapons will not be used to wage war on the world. It is not our way to be judge, jury and executioner for people who are not our own. Killmonger: Not your own? But didn't life start right here on this continent? So ain't all people your people? T'Challa: I am not king of all people. I am king of Wakanda. And it is my responsibility to make sure our people are safe and that vibranium does not fall into the hands of a person like you. Ramonda: Son, we have entertained this charlatan for too long. Reject his

Dialogue

T'Challa: I never yielded! And as you can see, I am not dead! Killmonger: All that challenge shit is over with. I'm the king now. Get those planes in the air, carry out the mission! […] W'Kabi! Man, kill this clown! Okoye: W'Kabi! The challenge is not complete! Border Tribesman: What will we do? W'Kabi: Border Tribe! [In Xhosa] Kill him! [The Border tribesmen charge into battle against T'Challa. A furious Okoye rounds on Killmonger] Okoye: You! Your heart is so full of hatred, you're not fit to be a king! [Okoye and the Dora Milaje attack Killmonger as he activates his own Black Panther suit]

Dialogue

W'Kabi: Would you kill me, my love? Okoye: For Wakanda? [holds her spear at his throat] Without question!

Dialogue

Shuri: When you said you would take me to California for the first time, I thought you meant Coachella, or Disneyland. Why here? T'Challa: This is where our father killed our uncle. Shuri: [Sees a condemnation notice] They're tearing it down. Good. T'Challa: They are not tearing it down, I bought this building. And that building. And that one over there. This will be the first Wakandan International Outreach Center.
