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:
You were about to sing an aria concerning your brother.
BERTIE:
I'm not crooning to the tune of "Swanee River!"
LIONEL:
Try "Camptown Races" then.
(sings) "The Arch of C, he said to me, doo-dah doo- dah..." That sort of thing.
BERTIE:
I can't talk, or sing, about your future King, doo-dah, doo-dah...
LIONEL:
My future King? He's your future King too.
Did that cause friction? Knowing he'd grow up to be King, but you wouldn't.
BERTIE:
Certainly not. I've always looked up to David. Water's boiling.
Lionel makes the pot.
LIONEL:
Two lumps or one?
Bertie, a bit abashed, holds up three fingers.
BERTIE:
I've a sweet tooth. To tell the truth...
LIONEL:
Always preferable.
(referring to plane wing) Cover it with tissue.
BERTIE:
...it was a relief. Knowing I wouldn't be King.
LIONEL:
Why's that?
Lionel hands him a mug of tea. Bertie realizes it's chipped and possibly none too clean.

BERTIE:
I wouldn't have to give speeches!
Reaches into his jacket for his cigarette case.
LIONEL:
No smoking. What's the age difference?
While Logue isn't looking, Bertie surreptitiously wipes the rim of the mug with his handkerchief.
BERTIE:
Eighteen months.
LIONEL:
But for eighteen months you would've been King?!
BERTIE:
We didn't think about it that way, doctor.
