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.

Footsteps resonate.
Lionel enters. Trips over one of the gravestones.
LIONEL:
Bertie? Blast! Stepped on Lord Byron.
Bertie...?
Lights snap on skewering Lionel. Bertie steps into view wearing a coat against the night chill of the stone cathedral.
BERTIE:
This is not a rehearsal, "Doctor" Logue.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 99.
LIONEL:
Ah, the Star Chamber inquisition. I wondered when that would happen. And I'd promised Myrtle a new frock.
BERTIE:
(barely controlled) "Just call me Lionel"! Never did you call yourself `Doctor'. We did that for you. No diploma, no training, no credentials. Just a great deal of nerve.
LIONEL:
Want to hear my side of the story?
BERTIE:
There isn't a "your-side-of-the-story".
This is my story. And you've ruined it! Its not just the Coronation, terrifying enough, its the radio speech to millions afterwards, and the speech after that, and for the rest of my failed miserable life!
LIONEL:
(softly) Wembley Stadium...
BERTIE:
You dare remind me?!
LIONEL:
I was there.
BERTIE:
Then you knew from the start I was hopeless?!
LIONEL:
My son, Valentine, asked, "Could you help that poor man?" I replied, "He's too old for me to manage a complete cure, but I could very nearly do it, I'm sure of that."
BERTIE:
Lying bastard!
LIONEL:
I knew I could help you. You refuse to believe?
BERTIE:
In you?!
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 100.
LIONEL:
In yourself.
BERTIE:
Who the hell do you think you are?!
LIONEL:
A failed actor.
BERTIE:
Actor?
