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.

BERTIE:
Royals aren't allowed emotions in public.
LIONEL:
Which explains a lot.
Bertie is in no mood to be provoked.

BERTIE:
What do you want me to do, dammit!? Stage my next public appearance as an obscene operetta?!
LIONEL:
Your next public appearance should be very well rehearsed.
Without thinking, Lionel instinctively reaches out to pat Bertie supportively on the shoulder.
Bertie pulls back in offended shock. All the warning signals instilled in him are going off.
BERTIE:
Don't take liberties! You're a dangerous man, Logue. Who sent you?
LIONEL:
Anyone in mind?
BERTIE:
The lurking shadows. Courtiers and peers...the whole panoply of a class which once ruled the nation which once ruled the world, afraid of losing their last vestige of privilege if the monarchy is further debased.
LIONEL:
Your wife was the one who sought me out.
BERTIE:
Because, dear sweet deluded woman, she believes in me!
LIONEL:
But you don't share her belief? Why come here?
BERTIE:
I'm beginning to ask myself that very same question. Your sailing close to the edge, don't push me, Doctor Logue.
LIONEL:
Lionel.
BERTIE:
I came here because I was taught from childhood to serve a purpose, and that purpose is to serve. Duty is our sole justification for privilege.

BERTIE (CONT'D) I came here because I was under the illusion you might help me perform that function!
LIONEL:
Not to worry. They say the King can do no wrong.
BERTIE:
He can bugger things up! And I am not the King. Mrs. Simpson is seeking a divorce.
The Coronation is set for the 12th of May.
Her decree becomes final on the 27th of April. That gives them two weeks to marry and put this issue to rest.
LIONEL:
And if Mr Baldwin stops them?
BERTIE:
That would be a tragedy. I pray to The Almighty they succeed. I'll do anything within my power to keep my brother on the throne.
