- T'Challa: 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: We can still heal you...
- Erik Killmonger: 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.
- King T'Chaka: [to T'Challa] You're a good man with a good heart. And it's hard for a good man to be king.
- 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.
- Ulysses Klaue: What do you actually know about Wakanda?
- Everett K. Ross: Um... Shepherds. Textiles. Cool outfits.
- Ulysses 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 because it was built on a mound of the most valuable metal known to man. Isipho, they call it. "The gift".
- Everett K. Ross: [to T'Challa] 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?
- [first lines]
- Young Killmonger: Baba...
- N'Jobu: Yes, my son.
- Young Killmonger: Tell me a story.
- N'Jobu: Which one?
- Young Killmonger: 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 man 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.
- Young Killmonger: And we still hide, Baba?
- N'Jobu: Yes.
- Young Killmonger: Why?
- Erik Killmonger: I lived my entire life waiting for this moment. I trained, I lied, I killed just to get here. I killed in America, Afghanistan, Iraq... I took life from my own brothers and sisters right here on this continent! And all this death just so I could kill you.
- Everett K. Ross: Quite the entourage, do you have a mixtape coming out?
- Ulysses Klaue: Actually yeah there is, I'll send you the Sound cloud
- [to his guard]
- Ulysses Klaue: do you have the link?
- Everett K. Ross: Why don't you give me the name of your supplier and I'll ask them?
- Ulysses Klaue: He's right outside. Why don't you ask him yourself?
- Erik Killmonger: I've waited my whole life for this. The world's going to start over. I'MA BURN IT ALL!
- King T'Chaka: What is wrong, my son?
- T'Challa: I am not ready, Baba.
- King T'Chaka: Have you not prepared to be king your whole life? Have you not trained and studied, been by my side?
- T'Challa: That is not what I am talking about. I am not ready to be without you.
- King T'Chaka: A man who has not prepared his children for his own death has failed as a father. Have I ever failed you?
- King T'Chaka: Never.
- N'Jobu: No tears for me, son?
- Erik Killmonger: People die every day. That's just part of life around here.
- T'Challa: [on saving Ross] I will not abandon someone to die, when I have the means to save his life.
- [TChalla confronts his ancestors in the ancestral plane]
- T'Challa: You were wrong - all of you were wrong - to turn your backs on the rest of the world! We let the fear of discovery stop us from doing what is right. No more! I cannot stay here with you. I cannot rest while HE sits on the throne! He is a monster of our own making! I must take the mantle back. I must! I must right these wrongs!
- Shuri: [as a fatally wounded Everett Ross is wheeled into her lab] Great! Another broken white boy for us to fix.
- Everett K. Ross: [T'Challa leaves a craps table] Hey, you won!
- Thirsty Gambler: You know what? I'm just going to take these chips and set them over here.
- Ulysses Klaue: You... you want to go to Wakanda? They're savages!
- [shows scarred brand]
- Ulysses Klaue: This is what they do to people like us.
- Erik Killmonger: I don't worry about no brand. Check these out. Each one is for a kill.
- [shows scars on his arms]
- Ulysses Klaue: You can scar yourself as much as you like. To them, you'll just be an outsider. Your crazy to think that you can just walk in there. And to think I saw you as a crazy American...
- [Klaue laughs, Killmonger shoots Klaue in the head]
- [in Oakland]
- Shuri: When you said you'd bring me to California when I was a kid, I thought you meant Coachella, or Disneyland. Where are we?
- T'Challa: This is the building where our uncle lived, where our father killed him.
- Shuri: [sees a condemnation notice] They're tearing it down. Good.
- T'Challa: They are not tearing it down, not anymore. I bought the building. And that one... and that one.
- T'Challa: You will destroy the world, Wakanda included!
- Erik Killmonger: The world took everything away from me! Everything I ever loved! But I'ma make sure we're even. I'ma track down anyone who would even think of being loyal to you! And I'ma put their ass in the dirt, right next to Zuri!
- King T'Chaka: [to his brother] Did you think you were the only spy we sent to the States?
- [Zuri reveals himself]
- [post-credits scene: in a small village at Wakanda, Bucky comes out of a hut. He looks around. A group of children call him "White Wolf". He approaches Shuri]
- Shuri: Good morning, Sergeant Barnes.
- Bucky Barnes: Bucky.
- Shuri: How are you feeling?
- Bucky Barnes: Good.
- [pause]
- Bucky Barnes: Thank you.
- Shuri: Come.
- [Shuri starts walking away]
- Shuri: Much more for you to learn.
- [Bucky pauses for a moment, looking at the landscape, then follows Shuri]
