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:
They didn't come to see us, Father.
KING GEORGE V: Pretend.
BERTIE:
Where's David?
KING GEORGE V: Bedding his American whore. Come, join the fun!
(aside to Elizabeth) You'll have to do a lot more of this. I'm sending him to the Midlands. With all the factory noise they won't hear a word he says.
The King goes back to waving. Elizabeth is stunned at the prospect.
The ROAR of the crowd segues into the ROAR of machinery.
20 INT. MIDLAND FACTORY - NEW DAY 20 Huge industrial wheels whir in neutral. WORKERS are lined up dutifully to hear the visiting Royal. Bertie's lips move, but with the noise he cannot be heard. Elizabeth watches in relief.
Then a FOREMAN, trying to be helpful, signals. The machinery halts, the factory falls silent.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 18.
At first the momentum of speaking without being heard carries Bertie forward.
BERTIE:
What's needed is cooperation... Hearing his own voice reverberate through the cavernous factory brings Bertie's stutter back in full form.
BERTIE (CONT'D) ...buh-buh-between the cuh-cuh-classses... One of the workers sullenly pulls a chain, releasing a blast from a steam whistle that drowns Bertie out.
21 EXT. AUSTIN PRINCESS DRIVING THRU HYDE PARK - NEW DAY 21 THE ROYAL STANDARD fluttering.
22 INT. AUSTIN PRINCESS - DAY 22 Elizabeth and Bertie in the back.
BERTIE:
Is this necessary?
ELIZABETH: You know perfectly well.
As they pass a corner news stand, the headline chalkboard reads: PRINCE OF WALES TELLS MINERS "SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!" ELIZABETH (CONT'D) Neglects to tell them what must be done, how its to be done, and who's to do it.
BERTIE:
David has `the touch'. They adore him.
As the Austin halts for lights, people stare to see who's inside. Some point.
BERTIE (CONT'D) I'll wager they're saying: There's the useless one who can't speak.
23 INT. LOGUE'S WAITING ROOM - DAY 23 Bertie and Elizabeth enter. She explains in a whisper: TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 19.
ELIZABETH: There's no receptionist.
Elizabeth glances nervously at the lavatory door.
ELIZABETH (CONT'D) (loudly) The Johnsons.
