Everett K. Ross
- 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?
- 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: [Everett drives up to a stranded Okoye and Nakia after their car explodes] Hop in. Put that spear in the trunk.
- 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: 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.
- 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.
