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.

BERTIE (CONT'D) We may all find a message of encouragement in the lines which, in my closing words, I would like to say to you: `I said to the man who stood at the Gate of the Year, "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown." And he replied, "Go out into the darkness, and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way.'" May the Almighty Hand guide and uphold us all.
IN THE AD HOC `CONTROL BOOTH' AREA - the Manager makes a `cut' gesture to Bertie, he's off the air, the red light on the microphone goes out. The Manager points, and the red light on the Reader's microphone goes on.
BBC NEWS READER: This concludes the BBC broadcast of the King's Speech.
Another `cut' gesture from the Floor Manager, the red light goes out and the transmission is concluded. The Floor Manager looks to the Reader.
BBC NEWS READER (CONT'D) (softly) He wasn't perfect.
(barely controlling his tears) Not perfect... But by God... He moved me.
AT THE MAIN BBC MICROPHONE - Bertie waits for the verdict of his peers. Churchill first: WINSTON CHURCHILL Couldn't have said it better myself.
The ultimate compliment. Lang next.
COSMO LANG: I'm speechless.
ELIZABETH: (softly) Thank God.
She goes to Bertie and kisses him tenderly on the cheek, takes his hand, then Logue's.
TKS/Seidler/09/17/08 115.
ELIZABETH (CONT'D) Well done, Bertie. Well done... (for the first time) ...Lionel. Well done.
She leaves the two men together.
LIONEL:
I always called you Bertie. Today, I call you King.
He offers his hand. But instead of taking it, Bertie takes him by the shoulders and gives him a hug. This is a long way from the five pace rule. The last barrier has fallen.
