Quotes10

  • Nakia: You can't let your father's mistakes define who you are. You get to decide what kind of king you are going to be.
  • T'Challa: If you were not so stubborn, you would make a great Queen.
  • Nakia: I would make a great Queen because I am so stubborn.
  • T'Challa: Ah! So you admit it, huh?
  • Nakia: [catching herself] If! If that's what I wanted!
  • Nakia: [to Ross] The king is dead. Come with me if you don't want to join him!
  • Nakia: It is my duty to fight for who I... for the things I love.
  • Okoye: Our mission was to bring back Klaue. We failed. This man is a foreign intelligence operative. How do we justify bringing him into our borders?
  • Nakia: He took a bullet for me.
  • Okoye: That was his choice.
  • Nakia: So now we are just supposed to let him die?
  • Okoye: Let us consider that we heal him. It is his duty to report back to his country. And as king, it is your duty to protect ours.
  • T'Challa: I'm well aware of my duties, General.
  • Nakia: Great Gorilla M'Baku...
  • [kneeling and presenting the Heart-Shaped Herb]
  • Nakia: ...this is why we are here. To offer this to you. An outsider sits on our throne. Only you can help us stop him.
  • Ramonda: I don't like this. The Herb belongs to us. We may be creating a bigger monster with M'Baku. Nakia, you should take it yourself.
  • Nakia: I am a spy with no army. I wouldn't stand a chance.
  • T'Challa: He killed his own brother and left a child behind with nothing. What kind of king... what kind of man does that?
  • Nakia: No man is perfect. Not even your father.
  • T'Challa: He didn't even give him a proper burial. My uncle N'Jobu betrayed us, but my father... he may have created something even worse.
  • Shuri: The Black Panther lives. And when he fights for the fate of Wakanda, I will be right beside him.
  • Nakia: As will I.
  • Everett K. Ross: I'm in, too.
  • [they all look at him]
  • Everett K. Ross: What? You're gonna need all the help you can get.
  • Nakia: Eyes up. Americans. I count three.
  • Okoye: Five. How could you miss Greased Lightning there behind you?
  • T'Challa: [noticing Ross] Six. Just spotted an old friend who works for the CIA. It just got a little more complicated.
