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.

COSMO LANG: Oh, you do have a way with words. And who would you suggest to rally the troops, the nation, the Empire, the world?
INTERCUT to Bertie in the funeral cortege, looking frail and pale.
COSMO LANG (CONT'D) A man who cannot speak? In Nuremberg stadium, Herr Hitler mesmerizes millions, whilst the Duke of York cannot successfully order fish and chips.

WINSTON CHURCHILL Would you prefer the next brother?
INTERCUT to Henry, the Duke of Gloucester.
WINSTON CHURCHILL (CONT'D) A bi-sexual former drug addict? The unwashed moralistic populace will adore that!
COSMO LANG: The youngest, perhaps?
INTERCUT to George, the Duke of Kent.
WINSTON CHURCHILL Now there's dimness.
COSMO LANG: I must admit...unburdened with brain.
WINSTON CHURCHILL Thus we're left with David, the rightful heir, who speaks beautifully, even if he talks nonsense.
Below, the coffin is entering the Chapel.
WINSTON CHURCHILL (CONT'D) Come, let us bury one king, before we attempt to bring another to his knees.
They exit.
46 EXT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE - NEW DAY 46 Re-establishing shot. The Royal standard flies bravely.
47 INT. CONFERENCE ROOM, BUCKINGHAM PALACE - CONTINUOUS 47 Bertie waits at a table with a group of immaculately attired courtiers and dignitaries. This is the Coronation Committee.
The chair at the head of the table is empty, everyone waiting for its occupant.
He finally arrives. David. He gestures for Bertie to come into the corridor, but deliberately leaves the door open so the committee can hear snatches of Bertie's ensuing humiliation.

48 INT. CORRIDOR, BUCKINGHAM PALACE - CONTINUOUS 48 David has a habit of constantly fingering his tie.
DAVID:
Hear you're taking elocution lessons, lad.
BERTIE:
Pardon?
DAVID:
Diction. Speechifying. That's the word around Town.
BERTIE:
Merely trying to overcome my dreadful impediment... DAVID (OVER-RIDES) I'm the brother who speaks. Or do you wish to have a go?
