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.

ELIZABETH: I think I meant... is David serious?
BERTIE:
About our coming?
ELIZABETH: About her!
BERTIE:
A married American? Twice divorced? He can't be.
ELIZABETH: She can.
15 INT. STAGE OF A LONDON THEATRE - NEW DAY 15 Movements behind a curtain.
MUFFLED VOICE (UNSEEN) Now?
From the auditorium:
DIRECTOR:
Now!
Someone pushes through a gap. Its Lionel.
LIONEL:
"Now..." Falters, begins again.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 14.
LIONEL (CONT'D) "Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York..." His elocution is crisp and flawless. His acting, however, is unconvincing.
LIONEL (CONT'D) "And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths..."
DIRECTOR:
(interrupts crisply) Thank you. Beautiful diction...but I don't hear the cries of a deformed creature yearning to be King.
Lionel struggles to maintain a semblance of dignity.
LIONEL:
What do you suggest?
DIRECTOR:
Continue to do whatever you do, and hope it gives you a great deal of satisfaction.
Crushed, Lionel retreats behind the curtain.
16 EXT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE - NEW EVENING 16 Cold and austere mausoleum illuminated by floodlights.
On the parade ground, Grenadier Guards in red coats and black bearskin busbies drill stiffly like toy soldiers. Viewing stands are beginning to fill.
The King's voice is heard: KING GEORGE V (O.S.) Stride boldly up to the bloody thing, stare it square in the eye, and talk to it as you would to any decent Englishman.
17 INT. THE KING'S STUDY, BUCKINGHAM PALACE - EVENING 17 The King's study resembles a naval captain's cabin. Both men are uniformed for a state occasion. Bertie regards the BBC microphone as though it were an alien.
