Okoye [A group of mercenaries attack a Wakanda Outreach Center in Mali, but are neutralized by the Dora Milaje, who have been waiting for them] [after seeing Aneka use daggers]
Where is your spear?
A Aneka
Shuri gave me these to try. You know, I like them better.
Okoye Our foremothers gave us a spear because it is precise, elegant and deadly. It will not change under my watch.
A Ayo
[to Aneka]
I told you not to bring them.
M'Baku: If my soldiers were present, this fish man would be bound before us as we speak…
Okoye If your muscle brains were present, they would still be there choking on their fuzzy adornments.
Okoye [Okoya and Shuri have cornered Riri at her MIT dorm]
You have two choices. You can come to Wakanda conscious or unconscious.
You need to be conscious of the way that you look. Walking around all in here with that ash on your head.
Okoye [Queen Mother Ramonda and the Wakanda Elders are taking Okoye to task over the mission to get Riri Williams, but has resulted in Namor's troops kidnapping Shuri and Riri.]
They wear blue, and they had superhuman strength. And they came from the water on the back of whales. I struck down three of them with blows that should've killed them, but they rose again. I wish to leave immediately to retrieve our princess.
Okoye, you will be stripped of your rank as general of Wakanda's armies and your status as Dora Milaje.
Okoye [in Xhosa]
Permission to speak, my queen?
Okoye [in Xhosa]
I beg of you. [in English, teary-eyed] I have given everything. Let me die serving my country and that throne. [kneels, in Xhosa] I'm asking you, mother. [in English] Allow me to make this right!
Make it right? I don't know if my daughter is alive or dead.
BT Border Tribe Elder
Perhaps we are being too hasty. She raised a spear against her own husband for Wakanda.
Where is her treacherous husband now? But in a place where she can visit if she wished? Mine... is with the ancestors. I am Queen of the most powerful nation in the world, and my entire family is gone! Have I not given everything?! On your feet, General. [Okoye stands] I stood by you after Killmonger took the throne and you and the Elders in this room stood by him, while I ran begging to the Jabari for protection. And I warned you about taking my daughter on this mission and you lost her. So today, I am done. [Okoye thrusts down her spear and leaves the throne room]
