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.

LIONEL:
Proving your impediment isn't a permanent internal fixture.
BERTIE:
When I give a speech...I bloody stutter!!!
LIONEL:
Bet you a bob you can read flawlessly, right here, right now.
BERTIE:
(bitterly) Easy money. You're on.
LIONEL:
See your shilling then.
BERTIE:
Royals don't carry money.
LIONEL:
How convenient.
Logue fishes a coin from his pocket and puts it on the table.
LIONEL (CONT'D) I'll stake you. Pay me back next time.
BERTIE:
If there is a next time.
LIONEL:
Correct, I haven't agreed to take you on.
During this, Logue has uncovered a piece of apparatus, a recording device with earphones. He sets a blank disc onto the turntable and positions a microphone, then hands Bertie an open book. Bertie glares at it defiantly.
BERTIE:
I certainly can't read The Bard.
LIONEL:
`Easy money'.
Bertie reads, stuttering badly and getting worse.
BERTIE:
"To be or not to be, That is the question.
Whether it is wiser..." There!
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 26.
Reaches for the coin.
LIONEL:
Not so fast.
BERTIE:
I proved I can't read.
LIONEL:
You proved you can't listen.
Hands Bertie a pair of heavily padded earphones. Bertie doesn't want to take them.
LIONEL (CONT'D) A princely bob is at stake.
Bertie reluctantly puts on the earphones. Logue turns a dial.
