Did he freeze?
– Shuri
Like an antelope in headlights.
– Okoye

Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We can not. We must not. We will work to be an example of how we, as brothers and sisters on this earth, should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe.
– T’Challa

Guns… so primitive!
– Okoye

You are a good man, with a good heart. And it’s hard for a good man to be a king.

You would kill me my love?
– W’Kabi
For Wakanda? Without Question.
– Okoye

It’s a Bugatti Spaceship.

You cannot let your father’s actions define your life. You get to decide what kind of king you want to be.

I did not yield! And as you can see, I am not dead! The challenge continues!
– T’Challa

Tell me something. What do you know about Wakanda?
– Ulysses Klaue
It’s a Third-World country. Textiles, shepherds, cool outfits.
– Everett K. Ross

I’ve waited my whole life for this. The world’s going to start over. I’MA BURN IT ALL!
– Erik Killmonger

I have seen gods fly. I have seen men build weapons that I couldn’t even imagine. I have seen aliens drop from the sky. But I have never seen anything like this. How much more are you hiding?
– Everett K. Ross

Just remember, don’t freeze when you see her.
– Okoye
Whatcha taking about? I never freeze.
– T’Challa

If you say one more word, I’ll feed you to my children!
– M’Baku
I’m kidding. We’re vegetarians.
– M’Baku

Tell me a story, baba.

What story, my son?
– N’Jobu
About home.
– N’Jadaka
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 vowed to hide in plain sight, keeping the truth of their power from the outside world.
– N’Jobu
Do we still hide, baba?
– N’Jadaka
Yes.
– N’Jobu
Why?
– N’Jadaka

My suit is good.
– T’Challa
Old tech. Functional, but old. “People are shooting at me – wait, let me put my helmet on!”
– Shuri

We can still heal you…
– T’Challa
Why, so you can lock me up? Nah. Just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from ships, ’cause they knew death was better than bondage.
– Erik Killmonger

Praise! Another broken white boy to fix.
– Shuri

All a front. Explorers have searched for it, called it “El Dorado”. They looked for it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time. I’m the only one who’s seen it, and made it out alive.
– Ulysses Klaue

What happens now determines what happens to the rest of the world.
– T’Challa

Don’t scare me like that, coloniser!
– Shuri

Is this Wakanda?
– Everett K. Ross
No, it’s Kansas.
– Shuri
