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 (CONT'D) I ask too many questions?
BERTIE:
Perhaps the wrong sort.
LIONEL:
(writes an address) We live in South Kensington, small apartment, but no one would see you.
(added incentive) Lots of planes.
BERTIE:
You know, Lionel, you're the first ordinary Englishman...
LIONEL:
Australian.

BERTIE:
...I've ever really talked to. Sometimes, when I ride through the streets and see a `bloke' I'm struck by how little I know of his life, and how little he knows of mine.
Cuts both ways.
As Bertie is about to leave, Lionel requests casually:
LIONEL:
And if you decide to come, bring the Duchess. She might be helpful.
BERTIE:
She might. If I asked. Very nicely.
(at back door) And how will Myrtle take to our coming into your home?
LIONEL:
Not sure. She isn't speaking to me.
(pause) Wants to go home.
(pause) After the funeral then?
Bertie doesn't answer. Exits. Logue is left holding the plane.
He goes to the waiting room door.
LIONEL (CONT'D) How're you doing, Willie?
WILLIE'S MUM (speaking for her son) Still can't say a sentence.
LIONEL:
Willie?
WILLIE:
Iiiiiii'm much bbbbbbbetter.
LIONEL:
Well done.
A drum roll is heard. Thrum. Another... Thrum! Thrum!
