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.

He recognizes her instantly, and is clearly impressed, yet refuses to be intimidated.
LIONEL:
I thought the appointment was for "Johnson"?
ELIZABETH: A name used during the Great War, when the Navy didn't wish the enemy to know His Royal Highness was aboard.
LIONEL:
I'm considered the enemy?
ELIZABETH: You will be, should you continue to be un- obliging.

LIONEL:
For my method to succeed there must be mutual trust, complete honesty, and total equality. That process takes place in my consultation room. No exceptions.
ELIZABETH: In which case... (re-lowering her veil) I should have kept my pledge. I promised my husband I'd stop seeking "The Great Cure." I've wasted your time. And mine.
She exits, closing the door firmly behind her.
LIONEL:
Bloody hell, I buggered that.
WACK! The sound of something solid meeting leather.
11 EXT. SOUTH KENSINGTON STREET - LATE AFTERNOON 11 A foot kicks a ball. Lionel is returning home from work. He's a well-known fixture locally. Some lads are playing footie. One of them passes the ball to Lionel who, despite briefcase and rolled brolly, dribbles skillfully before passing the ball and entering a modest brownstone.
12 INT. LOGUE'S ENTRYWAY AND STAIRWELL - LATE AFTERNOON 12 As Lionel mounts the stairs he's set upon by three sturdy boys - VALENTINE, IAN, and PETER - with handkerchiefs tied around the lower portions of their faces and armed with broomstick swords.
VALENTINE: Stand and deliver!
LIONEL:
(falling into the game) `ow dares molest...Jack The Ripper?!
The boys scream with delight and a sword fight ensues - Lionel using his brolly.
LIONEL (CONT'D) Beware, Highwaymen, or I'll run yee through.
PETER:
We're Swagmen, not Highwaymen, Dad.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 10.
LIONEL:
Oh.
(then) Beware, jolly Swagmen, I'll skewer yer gizzards.
Lionel wife - MYRTLE - appears at the head of the stairs; a sweet-faced, down-to-earth woman.
MYRTLE:
You'll all hang from the gallows if you don't come for tea.
LIONEL:
Boys, I think we'd best go up.
13 INT. LOGUE'S DINING ROOM - EVENING 13 Logue, Myrtle, and the boys are finishing at the table.
