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:
Good lord no! I hope to...
DAVID:
Replace me? Well...today's your chance.
He thrusts a document into Bertie's hands, then pokes his head into the conference room.
DAVID (CONT'D) My brother will read the Coronation Plans.
BERTIE:
(whispers urgently) I'm not prepared!
DAVID:
(whispers back) As a Boy Scout...and you are one, aren't you, very much a Boy Scout...you must always be prepared. Nice and loud, so everyone can hear.
Bertie looks at the pages, his throat constricts, his chest tightens and his hands begin to shake.
BERTIE:
I...I...I thu-thu-think we should tuh-tuh- table the document.
He attempts to return it to David, but his brother won't accept.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 54.
DAVID:
Tell the others how Mrs Simpson is to be accommodated in a special alcove above the altar. Now I'll be off. See you at Balmoral this weekend, Buh-buh-Bertie.
In the room, they are appalled.
Bertie stands frozen and shattered.
49 INT/EXT. AUSTIN PRINCESS ON SOUTH KENSINGTON STREET - NEW DAY49 The lion rampant flutters on the bonnet of the Austin. Inside, Bertie, wearing a black armband, gestures for the driver to stop. Pulling his homburg over his brow, Bertie wraps his scarf around the lower portion of his face. Then catches his reflection in the rearview mirror. Tells his driver:
BERTIE:
Wait down the road.
50 EXT. SOUTH KENSINGTON STREET - CONTINUOUS 50 Not wanting to draw attention to his destination, Bertie has disembarked several buildings away from Logue's address. He makes his way hurriedly.
WACK. A soccer football hits him on the back. He wheels around.
The group of local lads look at him unabashed.
LOCAL LAD: Kick it `ere, aye, Guv?
Bertie kicks it. A fine high shot.
LOCAL LAD (CONT'D) Nice one.
They go back to their game.
Bertie rings Logue's bell. A brief pause. Bertie glances nervously, hoping not to be recognized. Lionel opens the door.
LIONEL:
To be honest, wasn't sure whether to expect you.
BERTIE:
I wasn't sure either.
