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.

There's a long silence.
BERTIE:
That won't be necessary.
COSMO LANG: The matter's already been settled. For your own well-being.
BERTIE:
What did you say?
COSMO LANG: Your Majesty's function is to consult...and to be advised. You didn't consult, but you've just been advised.
BERTIE:
Now I advise you, so listen carefully.
...in this personal matter I will make my own decision.
COSMO LANG: May I remind you, you do not place the crown upon your own head.
BERTIE:
And may I remind you, it is my head upon which the crown is placed!

COSMO LANG: This will end badly.
Lang turns on his heel.
Lionel ignores what has just happened.
LIONEL:
In hushed tones the BBC commentator paints a picture for the world, as you stand at the altar divested of your robes. Trumpets echo through the Abbey. The incessant rain clears miraculously as a shaft of sun streams through the stained-glass window catching your golden tunic and bathing you in light like a mediaeval knight. And you are King!
The faint CLICKING WHIR of a film projector is heard.
85 INT. ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S SCREENING ROOM - NEW DAY 85 On the screen: archive footage of the Coronation, capturing the pomp and ceremony. Cigar smoke rises up. The voices of Churchill and Lang can be heard.
COSMO LANG (O.S.) I was much moved WINSTON CHURCHILL (O.S.) There were tears in my eyes too, Your Grace, particularly when I saw you and the Dean of Westminster cannoning into each other.
COSMO LANG (O.S.) That's been edited.
WINSTON CHURCHILL (O.S.) More tears when our new Monarch started towards his throne, only to be brought to an abrupt halt owing to one of the Bishops treading on his robe.
COSMO LANG (O.S.) To the world, all went splendidly.
WINSTON CHURCHILL Amidst a vitrine of glittering jewels, bobbing tiaras, and heaving bosoms.
The footage freezes momentarily.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 105.
COSMO LANG (O.S.) Now, Winston, I have something which will bring tears to your eyes.
The archive footage continues, but it is not of the Coronation.
