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.

They make their way inside. In the distance an Austin Princess can be seen making its way up the stately tree-line avenue.
58 INT. AUSTIN PRINCESS, BALMORAL ESTATE - CONTINUOUS 58 Bertie and Elizabeth are dressed for the party.
BERTIE:
We must try to be pleasant.
ELIZABETH: Your father not dead six months, and That Woman throws, "A garden potty." P-o-t-t-y.
She's sleeping in your mother's bedroom.
And I know perfectly well she calls me `the Dowdy Duchess", and "Cookie".
59 INT. BALLROOM, BALMORAL - DAY 59 At the buffet table Churchill helps himself copiously.
WINSTON CHURCHILL Has it occurred to you, as it has only occurred to me, that a Monarch with a gland problem, who realizes he cannot produce issue, might not wish to be King...?
knowing his lack of issue may well become a major issue indeed.
COSMO LANG: A dazzling concept...beautifully phrased.
A FOOTMAN announces: TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 65.
FOOTMAN:
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York.
Wallis sweeps forward to greet them, but Elizabeth sails past, announcing to no one in particular: ELIZABETH: I came at the invitation of the King.
David turns and bows formally. Elizabeth cursties in return.
Wallis quickly returns to David, taking him forcefully onto the dance floor. The Yorks go in the other direction.
To the side, Churchill and Lang watch David and Wallis do a brisk Turkey Trot.
WINSTON CHURCHILL According to the F.B.I.... she is, after all, one of their citizens...our Monarch does not possess exclusive rights to Mrs.
Simpson's sexual favours. Hitler's Ambassador, Count von Ribbentrop, has been sending her 17 carnations every day...one for each time they've slept together.
COSMO LANG: Good Lord, Winston, we must see to it this Empress of the Night does not become Queen of England!
WINSTON CHURCHILL Vividly put.
Churchill has spotted Elizabeth in a side room.
WINSTON CHURCHILL (CONT'D) Allow me to test new waters.
60 INT. PORTRAIT GALLERY, BALMORAL - CONTINUOUS 60 Churchill makes his way to Elizabeth, who is standing in front of a portrait of George IV.
ELIZABETH: I don't need to be told I behaved badly.
WINSTON CHURCHILL On the contrary, Mam. Court etiquette decrees royalty must be greeted by the official host. In this case: the King. You behaved impeccably. As always.
