"My design."
"Old tech, functional, but old. Hey! People are shooting at me, wait! Let me put on my helmet! Now, look at these. Do you like that one?"
"Tempting, but the idea is to not be noticed. This one."
"Now tell it to go on. The entire suit fits in the teeth of the necklace. Strike it."
"Anywhere?"
"Not that hard genius!"
"You told me to strike it! You didn't say how hard!"
"I invite you to my lab and you just kick things around?"
"Maybe you should make it a little stronger...Hey, wait a minute..."

"Delete that footage!" - ―Shuri and T'Challa[src]

"Don't worry about it, you're doing fine!" - ―Shuri and Black Panther[src]

- "The structure is polymorphic."
"Right. We had to attach each neuron non-sequentially."

Spoken about Shuri[]

- "Dus Boox Báalam'o hochtal baax tu u la yan u kinsik t'anken. Baax ten teeche’ tukul ts'ook ma tobui yetelo’? Dus Boox Báalam'o yan taak'in pinu mai'het en wini'ki de tu la'tal le'da ha'eiton e'nooknumo jaan'no komilo. Baale’ menan o'hmo anulte. Behlae’ tunni uch-ik och'ki u ti’ le enale'al Talokan. Yetel lok doc'tiknetah, Talokan bin il-aak'heh hachamu'gachon'ta meyhish donchi. Lith'ka hoo chon'choo kamilo chenu'vadi khoo Wakanda, Wakanda tuni enu'koti kot ondee. Ooks'houudin.[9]"
- ―Namor to Namora[src]
Dialogue[]
- "Do you understand her?"
"Not completely." - ―Riri Williams and Shuri[src]
- "These are all Mesoamerican artifacts. Most likely 16th century. Have you been alive since then? Your mother was human."
"She was. But then she became something else."
"How?"
"How? How is never as important as why." - ―Shuri and Namor[src]
- "You are the first person from the surface to come to Talokan. Please take this a token of our gratitude. It was made with the plant that saved Talokan. You are young, Princess. When you age as I do, you realize we all lose everything we love."
"But when I lost my brother, it just felt different. He suffered in silence. When he finally asked me to help him, I couldn't. How does that make sense that the ancestors would give me gifts and skills to help me save my brother, and I couldn't? Why?"
"I don't have an answer for that question. My ancestors would often say, "Only the most broken people can be great leaders."
"I admire what you have built here. And how you've protected your people. But as Princess of Wakanda, I will not stand for you killing that young woman. My nation will not rest until I'm returned. I'm not leaving without her. We need to find a peaceful way to resolve this."
"It is no longer about the scientist. For centuries, the surface nations have conquered and enslaved people like us. Over resources. Since the day I buried my mother, I have prepared my people for the time they will come for us. And that machine is the sign that the time is now. I need to know Wakanda is an ally or an enemy. There is no in-between."
"So you plan to wage war on the entire world, and you want Wakanda to help you? That's madness."
"There isn't a nation that would plunder Wakanda if given a chance. If we make an alliance, we can protect each other by striking them first. Then, when the threat of these nations has been eliminated, the scientist will be returned to Wakanda."
"And if Wakanda does not accept, what then?"
"The scientist will die. And Wakanda will be the first nation to fall."
"An attack on my people?"
"Yes. And I want you to listen to me: Wakanda cannot win a war with Talokan." - ―Namor and Shuri[src]
- "N'Jadaka."
"Lil' cousin."
"How?"
"'How' is never as important as 'why', right? You chose me."
"Impossible. I would never choose me."
"Why did you take the Herb?"
"To see my family."
"No, that's bullshit. You didn't believe the Ancestral Plane was real, did you?"
"No."
"So, why did you take it, then? You don't have to lie to me."
"So I can be strong."
"Strong to do what? See? We're more alike than you think. I took it to avenge my ancestors, too."
"I'm nothing like you. You took it for yourself, then destroyed the rest. Unworthy king... afraid of being replaced. Just a coward."
"No. I had the courage to do what was necessary to change Wakanda. How many people like your scientist did Wakanda protect before I took the throne? Cowards. That was the Panthers that came before me... and before T'Challa."
"Don't mentioned my brother. You're the reason why he's dead. You burnt the Herb, left us with no protector. Then Namor struck and killed my mother. Their blood is on your hands."
"That ain't on me. And don’t you dare take that away from your mother. She sacrificed her life to protect a young girl from the lost tribe. Your father, he was a hypocrite. He would've killed that girl. Shit, he killed his own brother. T'Challa was too noble. He let the man who murdered your father live. And here you stand. Are you gonna be noble like your brother... or take care of business... like me?" - ―Shuri and N'Jadaka[src]
- "My mum said you’re good at keeping secrets, is that true?"
"I can keep a good secret." - ―T'Challa II and Shuri[src]

The Black Panther is the most powerful person in the most powerful nation on the surface. But she has no allies. Now she has empathy for the people of Talokan. With this alliance, Talokan will be stronger than ever. The surface will come for Wakanda, and Wakanda will turn to us. Trust me.
