国王的演讲 The King's Speech Movie Script

杰瑞发布于03 Dec 15:58

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:
Luh-luh-lords, la-la-ladies, gen-tell-men.
It is a shock to realize this is a man with a profound stutter.
A man who cannot speak in public.
Lang whispers to Churchill. When Lang whispers, everyone can hear.
COSMO LANG: I wouldn't miss His Highness' maiden voyage for all the world. And on such an important occasion.
Lang really is a piece of work.
For ease of reading, Bertie's stutter is not indicated from this point on in the script.
BERTIE:
No doubt you wish the Prince Of Wales was standing before you today.
POV - a sea of dripping umbrellas. No response. This is going to be a torment for him, and his audience.
7 INT. BBC BROADCASTING STUDIO - DAY 7 A glowing dial on the face of a studio radio. Everyone listening intently.

BERTIE (ON RADIO) (stuttering profoundly) Be that as it may...my brother David is attending to other duties in the furthest parts of this vast Empire... The radio falls silent. Eyes widen in concern.
8 EXT. WEMBLEY STADIUM - DAY 8 Bertie stands frozen, his mouth agape, jaw muscles locked. He knows he's considered by all, especially himself, unfit for public life.
Elizabeth is devastated.
KING GEORGE V: Just needs more practice.
9 EXT. HARLEY STREET - NEW DAY 9 TRACKING SHOT - rain splatters on brass plaques denoting Dr This or Dr That, specialists in various maladies. Halt at a plaque that reads: LIONEL LOGUE, SPEECH SPECIALIST.
10 INT. RECEPTION ROOM, LOGUE'S CHAMBERS, HARLEY STREET - DAY 10 Umbrella stand, coat rack, wooden waiting bench: that's all.
The door is flung open and Elizabeth enters, drenched, her hat decorated with white silk roses, now limp. A veil covers her features.
She waits. Coughs. No response. Calls imperiously:
ELIZABETH:
Are you there?
From behind a door: LIONEL (O.S.) In the lav.
Princess Elizabeth is not used to this sort of thing. She's further appalled by the loud gurgling of a toilet being flushed, and startled by the entrance of - LIONEL LOGUE. He's in his forties, tall, with piercing eyes and charismatic features. His demeanor is friendly, but professional. The accent, although Australian, is not heavy, he is after all a speech therapist.

LIONEL (CONT'D) "How poor are they that have not patience!
What wound did ever heal but by degrees?" ELIZABETH: Pardon?
