Just don't freeze when you see her (Nakia).
What are you talking about? I never freeze.
You froze.
Shuri Did he freeze?
And I can't wait to see what kind of updates you made to your ceremonial outfit.
Shuri...
Shuri Sorry, Mother.
What are these?
Shuri The real question is [Points at T'Challa's sandals] WHAT ARE THOSE??? Why do you have your toes out in my lab?
What, you don't like my royal sandals? I wanted to go old school for my first day.
Shuri I bet the elders loved that!
Shuri Strike it.
Anywhere?
Shuri Mmm-hmm.
Shuri NOT THAT HARD, GENIUS!!!
You told me to strike it! You didn't say how hard!
Shuri I invite you to my lab and you just kick things around?!
Shuri What was that?
Don't worry about it, you're doing fine!
Speak.
I'm standing in your house. Serving justice to a man who stole your vibranium and murdered your people. Justice your king couldn't deliver.
I don't care that you brought Klaue. The only reason I don't kill you where you stand is because I know who you are. Now what do you want?
I want the throne. [The tribal elders scoff and roll their eyes] Y'all sittin' up here comfortable. Must feel good. There's about two billion people all over the world that looks like us, but their lives are a lot harder. Wakanda has the tools to liberate them all.
And what tools are those?
Vibranium. Your weapons.
Our weapons will not be used to wage war on the world. It is not our way to be judge, jury and executioner for people who are not our own.
Not your own? But didn't life start right here on this continent? So ain't all people your people?
I am not king of all people. I am king of Wakanda. And it is my responsibility to make sure our people are safe and that vibranium does not fall into the hands of a person like you.
Son, we have entertained this charlatan for too long. Reject his request.
Oho, I ain't requestin' nothin'. Ask who I am.
Shuri You are Erik Stevens. An American Black Operative. A mercenary nicknamed Killmonger. That's who you are.
That's not my name, Princess. Ask me, king.
No.
Ask me.
Take him away.
Ungubani? (translation: "Who are you?")
Indingu N'Jadaka! Unyanka N'Jobu! (translation: "I am N'Jadaka! Son of Prince N'Jobu!") [The tribal elders are stunned]
Unyana ka N'Jobu? (translation: "Son of Prince N'Jobu?")
I found my daddy with panther claws in his chest! You ain't the son of a king! You're the son of a murderer!
U due Ku Disto! (translation: "You're lying!") [In English] Lies!
I'm afraid not, Queen Mother. [Presents N'Jobu's royal ring]
Hey, Auntie. I'm exercising my blood right. The challenge for the mantles of king and Black Panther.
Do not do this, T'Challa.
As the son of Prince N'Jobu, he is within his rights.
He has no rights here!
The challenge will take weeks to prepare!
Weeks? I don't need weeks. The whole country ain't gotta be there. I just need him and somebody to get me outta these chains.
T'Challa, what do you know of this?
I accept your challenge.
Alright, where am I?
Shuri Don't scare me like that, Colonizer!
Colo... what? My name is Everett.
Shuri Yes, I know. Everett Ross, former Air Force pilot, now CIA.
Is this Wakanda?
Shuri No, it's Kansas.
My suit is good.
Shuri Old tech. Functional, but old. "People are shooting at me. Wait, let me put my helmet on!"
Wassup, princess? [Attacks Shuri]
Shuri You'll never be a true king.
Shuri When you said you would take me to California for the first time, I thought you meant Coachella, or Disneyland. Why here?
This is where our father killed our uncle.
Shuri They're tearing it down. Good.
They are not tearing it down, I bought this building. And that building. And that one over there. This will be the first Wakandan International Outreach Center.
Shuri Good morning, Sergeant Barnes.
Bucky.
Shuri How are you feeling?
Good. [Pause] Thank you.
Shuri Come. [Starts walking away] Much more for you to learn.
[Bucky pauses for a moment, looking at the landscape, then follows Shuri.]
