INT. TRIBAL COUNCIL ROOM - DAY - CONTINUOUS
[M'BAKU, flanked by FOUR JABARI WARRIORS, marches in with a leisurely swagger, chomping a PURPLE BROCCOLI STALK.]
[Ramonda, Okoye, Ayo, Aneka and the TRIBAL ELDERS (RIVER TRIBE ELDER, MERCHANT TRIBE ELDER, BORDER TRIBE ELDER, and the MINING TRIBE ELDER) are all gathered around in a circle.]
[The DORA MILAJE are flanked out across the room in their traditional spots. THREE NAVAL OFFICERS are here as well, contrite.]
[Everyone gives wary looks as M'Baku enters, prepared for his antics. He doesn't disappoint.]
Gabrielle turns to Bucky with a smug smile. "I'll bet you-"
"No."
M'BAKU: So our river border has been breached? I once more offer the support of my Jabari Hell-screamers. If my soldiers were present, this... fish man would be bound before us as we speak.
OKOYE: If your soldiers were present they'd still be choking on their furry costumes.
M'Baku scowls as everyone laughs.
M'BAKU: You bald-headed demon...
Okoye makes an offended noise as M'Baku smiles smugly.
RAMONDA: Show some respect you two.
M'BAKU: Respect? They allowed an outsider to walk directly up to our Queen. What good is Wakanda if we cannot protect our borders? These men should not show their faces. (to River Tribe Elder) Why are they guarding the river anyway? Because they did well in swimming school?
Bucky, Gabrielle, and M'Baku snicker while Okoye, Ramonda, and T'Challa shake their heads in disappointment.
[M'Baku points to M'BELE, one of his accompanying warriors.]
M'BAKU (CONT'D): Take M'Bele there. He swims with the gracefulness of a cinder block, but he would die before he allowed a fish man to swim up to our Queen.
"Mate, how are you so funny?" one of the Weasley twins asks through the laughter echoing throughout the hall.
RAMONDA: M'Baku, if you are done with your lecture, I would like to discuss the matter at hand.
OKOYE: There is no aerial surveillance footage of him.
NAVAL OFFICER: And nothing on radar as well.
[The elders look at the officer like he is out of his mind.]
RIVER TRIBE ELDER: So he swam underwater for 60 miles.
RAMONDA: And claims to command a massive army.
MERCHANT TRIBE ELDER: He wants us to deliver one American scientist? So he can kill them.
RAMONDA: He didn't explicitly state that, but I believe that is his intention.
MINING TRIBE ELDER: So do it.
"What!" many people exclaim.
MINING TRIBE ELDER: (off the council's reactions) We have never faced an enemy with access to Vibranium before, and we have no Black Panther to protect us.
M'BAKU: Because this wise council allowed Killmonger to take the throne and burn up all of your precious Heart-Shaped Herb. Even with the Wolves, we were not able to stop him.
[Ramonda ponders this.]
RAMONDA: What would you have us do?
M'BAKU: We find the fish man and kill him.
