国王的演讲 The King's Speech Movie Script

杰瑞发布于2023-12-03

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.

ELIZABETH:
Dear, dear, man, I refused your first two marriage proposals because, as much as I loved you, I couldn't abide the thought of living in the Royal gilded cage. Then I realized...you stuttered so beautifully...they'd leave you alone.
She takes his face in her hands tenderly.
ELIZABETH (CONT'D) If I must be Queen, I will be a good Queen.
The wife of a very great King indeed.
(then) You know what you must do.
73 INT. LOGUE'S CONSULTATION ROOM & WAITING ROOM - NEW DAY 73 Logue is working with Anna. She's reading smoothly and with great intensity.
ANNA:
"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths Enwrought with golden and silver light, The bbb..." Gets stuck.
LIONEL:
We haven't much more time together. Give it a go.
The doorbell RINGS. Logue is annoyed.
LIONEL (CONT'D) There weren't any more appointments today.
The bell RINGS again. He yells: LIONEL (CONT'D) Piss off!
(gently) Anna?
ANNA:
"The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light..." The door opens and Bertie enters the waiting area. Hearing Anna he stops outside the consultation room and listens.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 79.
ANNA (CONT'D) "I would spread the cloths under your feet, But I, being poor, have only my dreams.
I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." Silence.
LIONEL:
(softly) Read it to him. If he doesn't profess his love, he's not a man.
Anna nods earnestly.
ANNA:
Thank you...Lionel.
She exits via the Waiting Room and almost runs into Bertie. On recognizing him, she bobs her head.
BERTIE:
That was lovely. Don't take any guff.
ANNA:
Can I tell my Harold that's what you said?
BERTIE:
I'd be honoured.
She dashes off.
Logue comes to the door of the Waiting Room, in effect blocking Bertie's way in.
