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.

(takes out another piece of paper) Your brother held conversations with the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, your cousin, a ranking member of the Nazi party. I have the Scotland Yard intercept: "Who is King here?
Baldwin or I? I myself wish to talk with Hitler, and will do so here or in Germany." I doubt England is ready to return to absolute monarchy.
BERTIE:
Surely his motives are misunderstood?
WINSTON CHURCHILL "If I don't get my way, when the war comes, Hitler will crush everyone, including the Americans. The British may not want me as their King, but I'll soon be back as their leader." His intent seems crystal clear.
BERTIE:
Winston?! Don't take him seriously!

WINSTON CHURCHILL Mugs for his cancelled Coronation will soon be on clearance sale.
BERTIE:
You're willing to go along with this?!
Changing horses in mid-stream is a perilous maneuver!!!
WINSTON CHURCHILL Depends how badly the horse you're on stumbles.
BERTIE:
It's not too late, Winston, you could form a government on his behalf.
WINSTON CHURCHILL I must decline. Reluctantly.
The rocking horse CRACKS. Churchill gets to his feet.
WINSTON CHURCHILL (CONT'D) Sorry.
(starts to exit, then) I've written a new speech for him.
BERTIE:
I don't want to hear it! Ever!
WINSTON CHURCHILL It does have a rather nice turn of phrase.
64 EXT. MONTAGE OF BRITISH STREETS - DAY 64 It is December 11th, 1936. If practical use the actual recorded broadcast (truncated). In London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, country hamlets and cathedral towns...the streets are deserted.
Stragglers hurry indoors to be near: THE GLOWING DIAL OF A RADIO DAVID (V.O. RADIO FILTER) At long last I am able to say a few words of my own. Until now it has not been constitutionally possible for me to speak.
A few hours ago I discharged my last duty as King and Emperor.

65 INT. PLAYROOM, YORK HOUSE - CONTINUOUS 65 Bertie and Elizabeth listening to the radio with the two princesses royal sitting at their parents' feet. Bertie battles his emotions.
DAVID (V.O. RADIO FILTER) Now that I have been succeeded by my brother, the Duke of York, my first words must be to declare my allegiance to him.
MARGARET ROSE: (whispers) Daddy, who broke our rocking horse?
BERTIE:
(whispers) A giant.
