Movies T'Challa What are these?
The real question is [Points at T'Challa's sandals] WHAT ARE THOSE??? Why do you have your toes out in my lab?
T'Challa What, you don't like my royal sandals? I wanted to go old school for my first day.
I bet the elders loved that!
T'Challa Maybe we can still heal you.
Why? So you can just lock me up? Nah. Just bury me in the ocean... with my ancestors that jumped from the ships. 'Cause they knew death... was better than bondage.... [Pulls the dagger out of his chest and collapses]
Zuri/James Erik, stop! I am the cause of your father's death. Not him. Take me.
I'll take you both, Uncle James! [...and sends it straight through Zuri's chest!]

Mr. Brock Well, the wife's inside cookin'. You know what she asked me? She asked me this mornin', "What do you serve when a hero comes to dinner?"
Jackie Robinson Um, Mr. Brock, I'm just a ball player.
Mr. Brock Oh no no, you tell that to the little colored boys playin' baseball in Florida today. To them, you a hero.
Pee Wee Reese They can say all they want. We're just here to play ball.
Jackie Robinson It's just a bunch of crackpots still fighting the Civil War.
Pee Wee Reese Well hell, we'd have won that son of a gun if the cornstalks would have held out. We just ran out of ammunition.
Jackie Robinson Better luck next time, Pee Wee.
Pee Wee Reese Ain't gonna be a next time, Jackie. [Looks toward the crowd] All we got's right here. Right now. You know what I mean? Thank you, Jackie.
Jackie Robinson What are you thanking me for?
Pee Wee Reese I got family up there from Louisville. I need them to know. I need them to know who I am.
Hey, number 1! You playing ball or socializing?
Pee Wee Reese Playing ball, ump! [To Robinson] Playing ball. Maybe tomorrow we'll all wear 42. That way they don't tell us apart.
Jackie Robinson Why'd you do this Mr. Rickey?
We had a victory over fascism in Germany. It's time we had a victory over racism here.
Jackie Robinson No. Why? Why'd YOU do it? Come on.
I love this game. I love baseball. Given my whole life to it. 40 odd years ago I was a player-coach at Ohio Wesleyan University. We had a Negro catcher. Best hitter on the team. Charlie Thomas. Fine young man. I saw him laid low, broken because of the color of his skin and I didn't do enough to help. Told myself I did but I didn't. There was something unfair at the heart of the game I loved and I ignored it. But a time came when I could no longer do that. You... you let me love baseball again.
