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:
Does that include debasing yourself?
BERTIE:
If necessary!
LIONEL:
Your brother knew perfectly well by giving you a document without warning...
BERTIE:
Are you saying he wanted me to fail?
LIONEL:
Are you insisting he didn't? In the future we can parse any document into manageable phrases. You can sing them, swear them, rehearse them til you get the rhythm and flow; that, combined with your growing confidence... Bertie doesn't want to hear.
BERTIE:
Growing confidence? Growing dread!!! You're a wicked man, Lionel Logue, trying to get me to thrust myself forward as an alternative to my brother. Trying to get me to commit treason!

LIONEL:
Trying to get you to realize you need not be governed by fear. Again, why did you seek me out? To take polite elocution lessons so you could attend posh tea parties?!
BERTIE:
How dare you! I'm the brother of a King...the son of a King...back through untold centuries. You presume to instruct me on my duty? A jumped-up jackeroo from the outback? The disappointing son of an embittered clerk! You're a monster, Doctor Logue. I'm going to Balmoral to spend a pleasant country weekend with my beloved brother. And these sessions are over!
54 INT. STAGE OF SMALL REGIONAL THEATRE - NEW DAY 54 Closed curtains. Someone fumbles behind it.
LIONEL (BEHIND CURTAIN) Now?
Lionel pushes his way through the gap in the curtain. A PROVINCIAL DIRECTOR replies from a seat in the auditorium. (Not the same Director as in the earlier audition scene.)
DIRECTOR:
Were you told? We aren't for London.
Playing the provinces.
LIONEL:
Outer Mongolia?
DIRECTOR:
Available, are we?
LIONEL:
Nothing prevents.
DIRECTOR:
I believe that's called "desperate for a part!" Previous experience?
LIONEL:
Australia.
DIRECTOR:
You have played the provinces. Righto!
Let's hear what you can do.

LIONEL:
Caliban?
DIRECTOR:
Make him deformed. Audiences like that.
LIONEL:
Of course.
