3 scenes
T'Challa
[In Xhosa]

Kuthetha. (translation: "Speak.")

W'Kabi

Speak.

Killmonger

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.

T'Challa

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?

Killmonger

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.

T'Challa

And what tools are those?

Killmonger

Vibranium. Your weapons.

T'Challa

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.

Killmonger

Not your own? But didn't life start right here on this continent? So ain't all people your people?

T'Challa

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.

Ramonda

Son, we have entertained this charlatan for too long. Reject his request.

Killmonger

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.

Killmonger

That's not my name, Princess. Ask me, king.

T'Challa

No.

Killmonger

Ask me.

T'Challa

Take him away.

River Tribe Elder
[In Xhosa]

Ungubani? (translation: "Who are you?")

Killmonger
[In Xhosa]

Indingu N'Jadaka! Unyanka N'Jobu! (translation: "I am N'Jadaka! Son of Prince N'Jobu!") [The tribal elders are stunned]

Mining Tribe Elder
[In Xhosa]

Unyana ka N'Jobu? (translation: "Son of Prince N'Jobu?")

Killmonger
[In English]

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!

Ramonda
[In Xhosa]

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]

Killmonger

Hey, Auntie. I'm exercising my blood right. The challenge for the mantles of king and Black Panther.

Ramonda

Do not do this, T'Challa.

M'Kathu

As the son of Prince N'Jobu, he is within his rights.

Ramonda

He has no rights here!

River Tribe Elder

The challenge will take weeks to prepare!

Killmonger

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.

Ramonda

T'Challa, what do you know of this?

T'Challa

I accept your challenge.

T'Challa

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

Killmonger

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!

Border Tribesman

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]

W'Kabi

Would you kill me, my love?

Okoye

For Wakanda? [She holds her spear at his throat] Without question!
