Quotes
-
Everett K. Ross : [after he wakes up] Is this Wakanda?
Shuri : [sarcastically] No, it's Kansas.
-
Everett K. Ross : Does she speak English?
Okoye : When she wants to.
-
Ulysses Klaue : What do you actually know about Wakanda?
Everett K. Ross : Um... Shepherds. Textiles. Cool outfits.
Ulysses Klaue : It's all a front. Explorers searched for it for centuries. El Dorado. The Golden City. They thought they could find it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time. A technological marvel. All because it was built on a mound of the most valuable metal known to man. Isipho, they call it. "The gift".
-
Everett K. Ross : [to T'Challa] I have seen gods fly. I have seen men build weapons that I couldn't even imagine. I have seen aliens drop from the sky. But I have never seen anything like this. How much more are you hiding?
-
Everett K. Ross : Quite the entourage, do you have a mixtape coming out?
Ulysses Klaue : Actually yeah there is, I'll send you the Sound cloud
[to his guard]
Ulysses Klaue : do you have the link?
-
Everett K. Ross : Why don't you give me the name of your supplier and I'll ask them?
Ulysses Klaue : He's right outside. Why don't you ask him yourself?
-
Shuri : It's like riding a hover-bike.
Everett K. Ross : You have hover-bikes?
-
Everett K. Ross : [T'Challa leaves a craps table] Hey, you won!
Thirsty Gambler : You know what? I'm just going to take these chips and set them over here.
-
Everett K. Ross : My intel reports that the chunk of vibranium you took was all that Wakanda had.
Ulysses Klaue : [laughs, then gets serious] ALL OF IT? I took a tiny piece of it! They have a MOUNTAIN of the stuff! And they haven't even scratched the surface.

[deleted scene]
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.
-
Everett K. Ross : [to Klaw] That is quite the entourage!
-
Everett K. Ross : [Everett drives up to a stranded Okoye and Nakia after their car explodes] Hop in. Put that spear in the trunk.
-
Everett K. Ross : Erik Stevens. Graduated Annapolis aged nineteen, MIT for grad school. Joined the SEALs and went straight to Afghanistan, where he wrapped up confirmed kills like it was a video game. Started calling him Killmonger. He joined a J-SOC ghost unit, now these guys are serious, they would drop off the grid so they could commit assassinations and take down governments.
-
T'Challa : Agent Ross.
Everett K. Ross : Your Highness.
T'Challa : You are buying from Klaue.
Everett K. Ross : What I'm doing or not doing on behalf of the U.S. government is none of your concern. Now, whatever the hell you're up to, do me a favor, stay out of my way.
T'Challa : I gave you Zemo.
Everett K. Ross : Didn't I keep it under wraps that the king of a third-world country runs around in a bulletproof cat suit? I'd say we were even. You really need to leave, now.
T'Challa : Klaue is leaving out that door with me. You've been warned.
-
Shuri : The Black Panther lives. And when he fights for the fate of Wakanda, I will be right beside him.
Nakia : As will I.
Everett K. Ross : I'm in, too.
[they all look at him]
Everett K. Ross : What? You're gonna need all the help you can get.
-
Everett K. Ross : So this is a big mess, huh? I figured we could go good cop/bad cop. I'll talk to him first, then you guys go in.
Okoye : [in Xosha] We can't let him talk to Klaue alone.
T'Challa : [in Xosha, too] Better to let him talk to Klaue alone for five minutes than to make a scene here.
[in English]
T'Challa : After your questioning, we will take him back to Wakanda with us.
Everett K. Ross : What? No. Look, I like you, a lot. But he's in my custody now. He's not going anywhere.
[thumping him on the shoulder]
Everett K. Ross : Listen, I'm doing you guys a favor by letting you even be here.
Okoye : [in Xosha] If he touches you again, I'm going to impale him on this desk.
-
Everett K. Ross : These train things, that... that's magnetic levitation, right?
Shuri : Obviously.
Everett K. Ross : Obviously, but I-I've never seen it this... efficient. The light panels, what are they?
Shuri : Sonic stabilizers.
Everett K. Ross : Sonic what?
Shuri : In its raw form, vibraniun is too dangerous to be transported at that speed, so I... I developed a way to temporarily deactivate it.
Everett K. Ross : There's vibranium on those trains?
Shuri : There's vibranium all around us. That's how I healed you.
-
Everett K. Ross : [pursuing Killmonger's cache of weapons] Okay, Shuri, I got 'em. What do I do?
Shuri : Shoot them down, genius!
-
Everett K. Ross : He
[Erik Killmonger]
Everett K. Ross : worked with our CIA to destabilize foreign governments... during election cycles.
