[first lines]
Young Killmonger : Baba...
N'Jobu : Yes, my son.
Young Killmonger : Tell me a story.
N'Jobu : Which one?
Young Killmonger : The story of home.
N'Jobu : Millions of years ago, a meteorite made of vibranium, the strongest substance in the universe, struck the continent of Africa, affecting the plant life around it. And when the time of man came, five tribes settled on it and called it Wakanda. The tribes lived in constant war with each other until a warrior shaman received a vision from the Panther Goddess Bast, who led him to the Heart-Shaped Herb, a plant that granted him superhuman strength, speed and instincts. The warrior became king and the first Black Panther, the protector of Wakanda. Four tribes agreed to live under the king's rule, but the Jabari Tribe isolated themselves in the mountains. The Wakandans used vibranium to develop technology more advanced than any other nation. But as Wakanda thrived, the world around it descended further into chaos. To keep vibranium safe, the Wakandans vowed to hide in plain sight, keeping the truth of their power from the outside world.
Young Killmonger : And we still hide, Baba?
N'Jobu : Yes.
Young Killmonger : Why?
-
N'Jobu : No tears for me, son?
Erik Killmonger : People die every day. That's just part of life around here.

N'Jobu : I observed for as long as I could. Their leaders have been assassinated. Communities flooded with drugs and weapons. They are overly policed and incarcerated. All over the planet, our people suffer because they don't have the tools to fight back. With vibranium weapons they can overthrow all countries, and Wakanda can rule them all, the right way!

Young T'Chaka : There has been an attack. This man, Ulysses Klaue, stole a quarter ton of vibranium from us, and triggered a bomb at the border to escape. Many lives were lost. He knew where we hid the vibranium, and how to strike. He had someone on the inside.
N'Jobu : Why are you here?
Young T'Chaka : Because I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me why you betrayed Wakanda.
N'Jobu : I did no such thing.
