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.

WINSTON CHURCHILL Excuse me, sir, duty calls.
He exits quickly. Cosmo continues nervously as they walk through the Abbey, the Archbishop pointing out the preparations in progress, particularly a booth for broadcasters.
BERTIE:
Is this the scene of the crime?
COSMO LANG: What a peculiar thing to say.
BERTIE:
Referring to my assault upon the ears of the listeners.
COSMO LANG: Ah, yes, wireless is indeed a Pandora's Box. I have, however, categorically said no to the BBC's new "radio-with-pictures" gadget. Imagine, the unwashed viewing us as we blow our noses or scratch our bottoms.
BERTIE:
Radio with pictures?!
COSMO LANG: It is called..."television". Happily, with a transmission range of only fifteen miles this "TV" thing has no future. We shall, however, be forced to permit cinema; the product of which I shall personally edit.
BERTIE:
That'll keep you busy, removing all my stops and starts.
COSMO LANG: Unless of course you'd prefer a quiet ceremony?

BERTIE:
What exactly do you mean?
COSMO LANG: Something...discreet...private. We could pre-record an edited version to be broadcast to the world. Or even find an actor with a similar voice.
Logue has arrived and comes out of the shadows.
LIONEL:
A King based upon deception?
Cosmo takes Bertie aside.
COSMO LANG: If your gentleman from Security would give us space, we could discuss this in private.
BERTIE:
You mean my bodyguard,"Crusher?" Giving Lionel a scathing look, Lang continues speaking to Bertie confidentially.
COSMO LANG: Fret not. As I assured our nation in my recent broadcast: "When his people listen to their new Monarch they will note an occasional momentary hesitation in his speech. But to those who hear it, it need cause no sort of embarrassment, for it causes none to him who speaks." You see, I've paved the way. But should you wish to avoid further stress...
LIONEL:
Why not paint him pink and cover him with sequins?
COSMO LANG: Pardon?!
LIONEL:
If you wish to call attention to his anxiety.
COSMO LANG: Does your bodyguard know to whom he's speaking? He certainly doesn't know his place!

BERTIE:
Doctor Lionel Logue, my speech therapist.
