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.

MYRTLE:
What role are you auditioning for now?
Royal saviour?! Who's going to help us?!
This will bring us down, Lionel. You know it will.
LIONEL:
When that poor chap first walked into my office, he was a slim, quiet man with tired eyes and all the outward symptoms of the person upon whom a habitual speech defect has set the sign. You saw him today; once more there was hope.
MYRTLE:
You're not listening to me!
She gets up angrily and starts carrying dishes to the kitchen.
He follows her back and forth.
LIONEL:
Myrtle, I love you.
MYRTLE:
You say that, but you don't listen when I say, in so many ways, how desperately I want to go home, how I never, ever, intended to stay here. This was to be a holiday trip to see `Mother England', and you turned it into quite something else.
What happened, Lionel? We went to Wembley Stadium, next thing...you'd cashed in our tickets.
He's silent.
MYRTLE (CONT'D) Very well, I shan't talk of this ever again. I will, as always, be supportive of your endeavours.
LIONEL:
Myrtle... I don't deserve a wonderful woman like you.
MYRTLE:
How right you are.
LIONEL:
But why'd you come home so early?
MYRTLE:
Lionel...I was let go.

He's stunned.
MYRTLE (CONT'D) Inquiries were made...Mr Falkoff wouldn't say who...afterwards it was: `With your hubby treating a personage that high and mighty, you won't be needing employment with us, will you, Mrs Logue?'
LIONEL:
(anguished) Why?!
MYRTLE:
They're frightened, Lionel. Of what seems so far above them. I sympathize. I'm frightened too.
LIONEL:
Oh, Myrtle. My love... 80 WESTMINSTER ABBEY - NEW DAY 80 Establishing shot of this architectural icon.
COSMO LANG (O.S.) Winston, you do read the newspapers?
