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.

83 INT. LOGUE DINING ROOM - NIGHT 83 Logue enters and sits at the table. Myrtle serves him.
MYRTLE:
A bit dry. Tried to keep it warm.
LIONEL:
Mmm... Kedgeree! Lovely.
MYRTLE:
You look done in.
LIONEL:
I've news for you. You're coming to the Coronation.
MYRTLE:
I've news for you. I'm not!
LIONEL:
You must.
MYRTLE:
Stand in the rain hoping for a glimpse?
LIONEL:
Royal Box. You and I.
Stunned silence, then.
MYRTLE:
Lionel...I'd need a new dress.
LIONEL:
Rather thought you might.
Valentine calls from the next room: TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 98.
VALENTINE (O.S.) Dad! Phone! For you!
LIONEL:
Won't be a sec.
He exits. Myrtle waits. Looks at herself, bemused, reflected in a glass-fronted cabinet. Even does a curtsey.
84 INT. WESTMINSTER ABBEY - THAT NIGHT 84 The last of the preparation crew are being scurried out by Lang.
He gives a final, satisfied, look at the cavernous space, like a director preparing the stage for a final scene. He quotes Shakespeare, extremely pleased with himself: COSMO LANG: "The play's the thing, wherein I'll catch the conscience of a King." He exits.
THE CAMERA explores various elements: The Throne of Edward the Confessor.
Beneath it, a large rough-hewn stone: The Stone Of Scone.
Leaning against the Throne, a huge sword, set there for the next Coronation rehearsal.
Majestic stained glass windows of saints, kings, and martyrs.
Rows of pews, worn with centuries of use.
Graves of the mighty: kings, poets, and statesmen.
This Abbey holds the history of a nation.
