国王的演讲 The King's Speech Movie Script

杰瑞发布于2023-12-03

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.
Clearly this is a much loved ritual. Lionel disappears into a closet.
IAN:
Bet its the Scottish Play.
VALENTINE: Othello!
PETER:
Perhaps something with Falstaff?
Ominous thumps within the closet.
LIONEL (FROM INSIDE THE CLOSET) "Art thou afeard?"
THE BOYS:
Caliban!
Lionel lumbers out of the closet, a pillow stuffed into his jacket to create a monstrous hunchback. His acting, performed just for his children, is quite magical.
LIONEL:
"Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twanging instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices, That, if then I had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked, I cried to dream again." The lads are enthralled. The DOOR BELL RINGS. Lionel is not expecting anyone.
40 EXT. ENTRANCE TO LOGUE'S CHAMBERS, HARLEY STREET - DAY 40 The Austin Princess waits at the curb. Bertie is at the door.
He rings the BELL again.

BERTIE'S VOICE Doctor Logue?
41 INT. LOGUE'S CONSULTATION ROOM - CONTINUOUS 41 Lionel is stunned, covers:
LIONEL:
Must be a tradesman. Off you go, lads. Mum should be home from work.
The boys gather their things, deposit the model plane on a chair, stow the building materials in a box, and exit the back way. Lionel goes to the door, but doesn't open it.
BERTIE'S VOICE Logue...?
Logue, expressionless, doesn't respond.
42 EXT. ENTRANCE TO LOGUE'S CHAMBERS - CONTINUOUS 42 Bertie is torn: part of him wants to flee, yet he desperately needs to be let in. He knows what must be done. This is a huge step for him.
BERTIE:
Lionel...it's Bertie.
The door opens.
LIONEL:
My condolences. I didn't expect you.
BERTIE:
Thank you. I didn't expect to be here. May I come in?
LIONEL:
No.
BERTIE:
What?
