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.

LOUD MUSIC is heard. Bertie takes off the earphones. The music stops.
BERTIE:
You're playing music.
LIONEL:
I'm aware.
BERTIE:
How can I hear what I'm saying?!
LIONEL:
Bertie, you're Royal. Surely a prince's brain knows what its mouth is doing?
BERTIE:
You're not well acquainted with Royal princes, are you?
LIONEL:
I want to demonstrate that when you can't hear your voice, you don't stutter, thus proving your impediment is not innate.
BERTIE:
Rubbish.
Bertie replaces the earphones. Again, the LOUD MUSIC. His lips move as he reads, but all that can be heard is the music.
Finished reading the passage he takes off the earphones and the music ceases. He reaches for the coin, but Logue snatches it.
BERTIE (CONT'D) I was terrible.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 27.
LIONEL:
Flawless.
BERTIE:
I know how I sound!
LIONEL:
Would I lie to a prince of the realm to win twelve-pence?
BERTIE:
I've no idea what an Australian might do for that sort of money.
Logue puts the record in a brown paper dust jacket and hands it to Bertie.
LIONEL:
Souvenir of our first and presumably last encounter.
Bertie glances at the record.
POV - the label: HMV His Master's Voice.
25 INT. WAITING ROOM - DAY 25 Elizabeth, trying to be gracious, has been cooling her heels with a working class MOTHER and her young son WILLIE.
LIONEL:
I'm finished with your husband.
BERTIE:
I'm finished with Doctor Logue!
LIONEL:
Lionel.
They exit curtly.
