国王的演讲 The King's Speech Movie Script

杰瑞发布于2023-12-03

England's Prince Albert (Colin Firth) must ascend the throne as King George VI, but he has a speech impediment. Knowing that the country needs her husband to be able to communicate effectively, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) hires Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian actor and speech therapist, to help him overcome his stammer. An extraordinary friendship develops between the two men, as Logue uses unconventional means to teach the monarch how to speak with confidence.

BERTIE:
My wife's favorite colours.
Here, in a doctor's office, Bertie's stutter returns.
LIONEL:
Glad we have something in common.
Bertie's head bangs into one of the models.
LIONEL (CONT'D) My lads build them. Make yourself comfortable.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 21.
BERTIE:
Please...
LIONEL:
What?
BERTIE:
You're too close. Five paces is the rule of thumb.
LIONEL:
That might be difficult in this office.
Bertie perches uneasily on the edge of an armchair.
LIONEL (CONT'D) Nice girl, Anna. Worried she wouldn't find a husband if she couldn't speak. Tried to convince her men will find her even more attractive as a silent partner. The perfect woman. Sorry, bad Australian joke. Why'd your wife change her mind and ask for an appointment?
BERTIE:
I can't discuss that.
LIONEL:
What can we talk about?
BERTIE:
That's better. When speaking with a Royal one waits for the Royal to start the conversation and chose the topic.
LIONEL:
Your joking. That won't work here.
BERTIE:
I admit if one waits for me to start a conversation one can wait a rather long time.
Silence. They stare at each other.
BERTIE (CONT'D) You call this making me comfortable?
LIONEL:
You call this being forthcoming?
BERTIE:
Aren't you interested in treating me?
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 22.
LIONEL:
Only if you're interested in being cured.
More silence.
LIONEL (CONT'D) Cuppa tea?
