Killmonger quotes from Black Panther (2018)

You... you really want to go to Wakanda? They're savages! [Shows his scarred brand] This is what they do to people like us.

I don't worry 'bout no brand. Check these out. Each one is for a kill. [Shows scars on his arms]

You can scar yourself as much as you like. To them, you'll just be an outsider. You're crazy to think that you can just walk in there.

And to think I saw you as some crazy American.
[Klaue laughs before Killmonger shoots Klaue in the head]

Kuthetha. (translation: "Speak.")

W'Kabi

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!

W'Kabi

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.

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!]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I never yielded! And as you can see: I am not dead!

All that challenge shit is over with. I'm the king now. Get those planes in the air, carry out the mission! W'Kabi! Man, kill this clown!

Okoye

W'Kabi! The challenge is not complete!

What will we do?

W'Kabi

Border Tribe! [In Xhosa] Kill him! [The Border tribesmen charge into battle against T'Challa. A furious Okoye rounds on Killmonger]

Okoye

You! Your heart is so full of hatred, you're not fit to be a king! [Okoye and the Dora Milaje attack Killmonger as he activates his own Black Panther suit]

Wassup, princess? [Attacks Shuri]

Shuri

You'll never be a true king.

I don't need a suit to kill you. Your reign is over! You sat up there, safe and protected.

You want to see us become just like the people you hate so much! Divide and conquer the land as they did!

Nah, I learned from my enemies. Beat them at they own game.

You have become them! You will destroy the world, Wakanda included!

The world took everything away from me! Everything I ever loved! But I'mma make sure we're even. I'mma track down anyone who would even think about being loyal to you! And I'm gonna put their ass in the dirt right next to Zuri!

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]

Good morning. How can I help you?

I'm just checking out these artefacts. They tell me you're the expert.

Ah, you could say that.

They're beautiful. [Points at a mask] Where's this one from?

From the Bobo Ashanti Tribe, present day Ghana. 19th Century.

For real? What about this one?

It's from the Edo people of Benin. 16th Century.

Now, tell me about this one. [Points to a mining tool on the side.]

Also from Benin. 7th Century. Fula Tribe I believe.

Nah.

I beg your pardon?

It was taken by British soldiers in Benin, but it's from Wakanda, and it's made out of vibranium. Don't trip, I'mma take it off your hands for you.

These items aren't for sale.

How do you think your ancestors got these? You think they paid a fair price? Or did they take it like they took everything else?

Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. [Starts feeling indigestion]

You got all this security in here watching me ever since I walked in, but you ain't checking for what you put in your body.

Alright, mate. Let's have it. Come on, mate.

I think she might not be feeling too good.

Hey! Hey somebody get some help! Come here! Call a doctor, please! Hey please, somebody come help!

Medical Emergency in the West African Exhibit please. Right away!

Look out!

Step back please! Step back!

Coming through please! Medics coming through!

I'm gonna take a break. [She leaves and a co-worker takes over.]

Let's give the lady some space please.

Step back please, gents! Step back please! [Klaue and Limbani pull out guns and shoots all but one of the security guards.]

Hey come here. Come here! It's ok. You can go, but just don't tell anyone, alright?

Bro, why you ain't just shoot him right here?

Because it's better to leave the crime scene more spread out. Makes us look like amateurs.

Now, let's see if you know what you're talking about... [Klaue removes a glove, revealing a prosthetic hand.]

That's just a taste. [Picks up the mining hammer, looking at it. He then places the prosthetic hand on it, making muck and dirt fall off, revealing the hammer to be 100% vibranium. Klaue then smells it.]

You're gonna be rich, boy.

You better sell that quick.

Oh it's already sold! [Breaks the wooden handle off the vibranium hammer, packing the vibranium head.]

Whatever you try, the Wakandans'll probably show up.

That'll make my day. I can kill two birds with one stone.

You're not telling me that's vibranium too, eh?

Nah, I'm just feeling it. [He puts the mask in the stretcher.]
[Klaue and Limbani wheel the stretcher, with Killmonger in it, to the ambulance near the entrance. Killmonger and Linda kiss, then they turn on the sirens and drive off.]
