Kuthetha. (translation: "Speak.")

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.
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.
