EXT. STEP TOWN, GOLDEN CITY - DAY

[A bustling futuristic metropolis. T'Challa and Nakia stroll side by side. FOUR DORA MILAJE shadow them from a distance.]

T'CHALLA: Come home, Nakia.

NAKIA: I'm right here.

T'CHALLA: Stay.

NAKIA: I came to support you, and to honor your father. But I can't stay. It's just... I found my calling out there. I've seen too many in need just to turn a blind eye. I can't be happy here knowing that there's people out there who have nothing.

"AmaZiko okufikelela eluntwini ibingumbono olungileyo. (The Outreach Centers were a good idea)," Gabrielle says in Xhosa.

T'Challa and Bucky turn to her surprised. "When did you learn Xhosa?" Bucky asks.

"I did not spend several months under cryo," Gabrielle says. "Shuri has been teaching me and I'm a fast learner."

[T'Challa thinks on this.]

T'CHALLA: What would you have Wakanda do about it?

[Nakia thinks for a bit.]

NAKIA: Share what we have. We could provide aid and access to technology and refuge to those who need it... other countries do it, we could do it better.

T'CHALLA: We are not like these other countries, Nakia. If the world found out what we truly are, and what we possess -- we could lose our way of life.

NAKIA: Wakanda is strong enough to help others and protect ourselves at the same time.

[Nakia gives T'Challa a look.]

T'CHALLA: If you were not so stubborn you would make such a great queen.

NAKIA: I would make a great queen because I am so stubborn.

T'CHALLA: Ah! So you admit it!

NAKIA: ...if that's what I wanted!

EXT. WAKANDAN BORDER REGION - DAY

[We TRACK PAST several Border Tribesmen in a field, feeding and watering their pet HORSES and GOATS. Finally, we come upon... W'Kabi feeding M20, his MASSIVE PET RHINO by hand. T'Challa stands beside him.]

"Wow! A rhino!" an itty bitty first year Slytherin says.

T'CHALLA: Is that him? Glory to Bast, man, is he still growing?

[W'Kabi laughs.]

W'KABI: Of course.

W'KABI (CONT'D): I see Nakia is back... you guys going to work it out?

[T'Challa shakes his head and crosses in front of W'Kabi.]

W'KABI (CONT'D): T'Challa, what's wrong?

T'CHALLA: Nakia thinks we should be doing more.

W'KABI: More like what?

T'CHALLA: Foreign aid... refugee programs.

[W'Kabi shakes his head.]

W'KABI: You let refugees in, they bring their problems with them. And then Wakanda is like everywhere else.

[T'Challa thinks on this.]

W'KABI (CONT'D): Now, if you said you wanted me and my men to go out there and clean up the world, then I'd be all for it.
