T'Challa Quotes

I never yielded, and as you can see, I am not dead.

I neva freeze.

What happens now determines what happens to the rest of the world.

This ends today!

Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows.

Erik Killmonger : You know, where I am from. When black folks started revolutions, they never had the firepower or the resources to fight their oppressors. Where was Wakanda? Hmm... Yeah, all that ends today. We got spies embedded in every nation on Earth. Already in place. I know how colonizers think. So we're gonna use their own strategy against them. We are gonna send Vibranium weapons out to our War Dogs. They'll arm oppressed people all over the world so they can finally rise up and kill those in power. And their children. And anyone else who takes their side. It is time they know the truth about us.

T'Challa : What do you want?
Erik Killmonger : I want the throne!

T'Challa : You will destroy the world, Wakanda included!
Erik Killmonger : The world took everything away from me! Everything I ever loved! But I'ma make sure we're even. I'ma track down anyone who would even think of being loyal to you! And I'ma put their ass in the dirt, right next to Zuri!

I lived my entire life waiting for this moment. I trained, I lied, I killed just to get here. I killed in America, Afghanistan, Iraq... I took life from my own brothers and sisters right here on this continent! And all this death just so I could kill you.

T'Challa : We can still heal you...
Erik Killmonger : Why, so you can lock me up? Nah. Just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from ships, 'cause they knew death was better than bondage.

You were wrong, all of you were wrong, to turn your backs on the rest of the world! We let the fear of discovery stop us from doing what is right. No more! I cannot stay here with you. I cannot rest while *He* sits on the throne! He is a monster of our own making! I must take the mantle back. I must! I must right these wrongs!

T'Challa : Baba...
King T'Chaka : Stand up! You are a king!

I will not abandon someone to die, when I have the means to save his life.

We can not. We must not. We will work to be an example of how we, as brothers and sisters on this earth, should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe.

T'Challa : How are you feeling today, Mama?
Ramonda : Proud. Your father and I would talk about this day all the time. He is with us. And it is your time to be king.

Everett K. Ross : It's not my place to say, but man, I really don't think you should do this. What you guys have is going to scare a lot of people in that room. They're going to come after you.
T'Challa : Yes. But I will no longer rule out of fear.

Nakia... hi.
Okoye : You froze.

King T'Chaka : What is wrong, my son?
T'Challa : I am not ready, Baba.
King T'Chaka : Have you not prepared to be king your whole life? Have you not trained and studied, been by my side?
T'Challa : That is not what I am talking about. I am not ready to be without you.
King T'Chaka : A man who has not prepared his children for his own death has failed as a father. Have I ever failed you?
King T'Chaka : Never.

T'Challa : If you weren't so stubborn, you would make a great queen.
Nakia : I would make a great queen because I am so stubborn.
