SIR BLANDINE-BENTHAM: Inhale deep into your lungs.. Your Royal Highness. Relaxes your larynx, does it not? Cigarette smoking calms the nerves and gives you confidence. If Your Highness will be very kind as to open your hand... It's Sterilized. Now.. Now...if I may take the liberty? ...insert some into your mouth. Excuse me, Doctor. What is the purpose of this? The classic approach, it cured Demosthenes. That was in Ancient Greece...uh Has it worked since? Now, if you would be so kind as to read... A wealth of words. Fight against those marbles, Your Royal Highness. Enunciate! A little more concentration your Royal Higness. I nearly swallowed the bloody things! Thank you so much, Doctor, it’s been most...hmm interesting. Insert marbles! He can insert his own bloody marbles....! Tick, tock, tick, tock. You know, you can’t keep doing this, Bertie. I know. Promise me: no more. Hello. Is anyone there? I’m just in the loo. Ah, Mrs.Johnson There you are. I’m sorry, there’s no receptionist. I like to keep things simple. “Poor and content is rich and rich enough” - Sorry? - Shakespeare. How are you? How do you do? Coughing a lot. Now, this is slightly awkward, But.. I’m afraid you’re late. Yes, I’m afraid I am. Where’s Mr Johnson? He doesn’t know I’m here. That’s not a promising start. My husband has seen everyone to no avail. Awefully 'fraid he’s given up hope. He hasn’t seen me. You’re awfully sure of yourself. Well, I’m sure of anyone who wants to be cured. Of course, he wishes to be cured. My husband is umm.. he's required to speak publicly. Perhaps he should change jobs? - He can’t. Indentured servitude? Something of that nature. Well we need to have your hubby pop by... Uh..Tuesday would be good... He can give me his personal details and I’ll make a frank appraisal and then, We can take it from there. Doctor, forgive me. I do not have a “hubby”. We don’t ‘pop’. and nor do we ever talk about our private lives. You... must come to us. I'm Sorry, Mrs Johnson, my game, my turf, my rules. You'll have to talk over this with your hauband and then you can speak to me on the telephone. Thank you very much for dropping by... Good afternoon. And what if my husband were the Duke of York? The Duke of York? Yes... the Duke of York. I thought the appointment was for “Johnson”? Forgive me, your ...? - ..Royal Highness. Johnson was used during the Great War; when the Navy didn’t want the enemy to know ‘he’ was aboard. - Am I...considered the enemy? You will be, if you remain un- obliging. Of course. How did you find me, Your Royal Highness? The President of the Speech Therapists Society. Eileen McCleod? She’s a sport. Dr McCleod warned me your antipodean methods were “unorthodox and controversial”. I warned her... those were not my favorite words. I can cure your husband. But for my method to work I need trust and total equality; Here, in the safety of my consultation room. No exceptions. Well then, in that case... When can you start? Still sounds a bit rough, mate. You make me drive too slowly, Dad! Did you pick mum up from Bridge? Yes, I’ve hardly been out of the car all day. I had a special visitor this afternoon. - May I please leave this table - How special, special? No, You must stay, bored stupid, listening to your parents’ inane conversation. - Thanks Dad.. - and Mum. - Me too. - You meeting Jean? - No, someone else. Doctor? Doctor? Can't you help your brother with the washing... I’m fine. Who's it Lionel? Why bring it up if you can’t talk about it? Myrtle, It's just a woman, looking to help her husband. Oh! And I had a ‘call’. for an audition. One of my favorites. - Aren't they all? It Could be a lot of fun. I'm sure you'll be splendid. They’re a highly regarded group. From Putney. Tomorrow, Chapter IV. ‘The Flight’. Oh, to fly away! Weren’t they lucky! Now Papa tell a story! - Could I be a penguin instead? Once, there were two princesses... Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret. whose Papa was a penguin. This was because he had been turned into one by the wicket witch. This was an... inconvenient for him.. because he loved to hold his princesses in his arms... and you can’t because he don't have wings like herrings - Herrings don’t have wings. - Penguins have wings which is shaped like herrings and make matters worse... is that she sent him to the South Pole. which is an awfully long walk..back. if you can’t fly. So..When he reached the water, he dived in through the dept so fast... that he was in Southampton waters by lunchtime. And from there, he took the 2.30 to Weybridge, changed at Clapham Junction and asked a passing Mallard the way to Buckingham Palace. He swam up the Thames, out through the plughole, and gave the cook, Mama and ...Mrs Whittaker quite a shock. Now when the girls heard all the commotions, they ran to the kitchen where they gave him a good scrub, a mackerel and a kiss. and as they kissed him, guess what he turned into? - A handsome prince. A short-tailed Albatross. With wings so big that he could wrap them both his two girls together. Now, now.. It's time for bed. Will Mrs Simpson be there? - My brother’s insisting. - Is he serious? - About her coming to dinner? - No. About her! - A married woman? He can’t be. - She can. By the way, I think I found someone rather interesting. On Harley Street. A doctor. - Out of the question. I’m not having this conversation again. The matter's settled. - His approach seems rather different.... Now? Now. “Now is the winter of our discontent, Made glorious summer by this sun of York". “And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house In the deep *** of the ocean buried. Now are our brows, bound with victorious... wreaths; - Thank you! Lovely diction Mr...? - Logue. Lionel Logue. - Well, Mr.Logue. I'm not hearing the cries of a deformed creature yearning to be King. Nor did I realize Richard the Third was King of the Colonies. I do know the lines. I’ve played the role before. - Sydney? - Perth. - Major theater town, is it? -Enthusiastic. - Ah. - I was well reviewed. Yes... well...Lionel, I think our dramatic society, is looking for someone slightly younger and a... little more regal. Where did you find this...physician? Classifieds, next to “French model, Shepherd’s Market”. He comes highly recommended. Charges substantial fees in order to help the poor. Oh dear, perhaps he’s a Bolshevik?! No receptionist. He likes to keep things simple. - The Johnsons. You can go in now, “Mr. Johnson”. Lionel says... wait here if you wish, Mrs Johnson. Or, it being a p- pleasant day, p-perhaps take a stroll. Was that alright...Lionel? Marvellous! Willy. You can stay and wait for your mom. Mrs Johnson... Mr Johnson, Do come in. He’s a good lad, Willy. He could hardly make a sound, you know, when he first came to me. My boys made those. Good, aren’t they? Please make yourself comfortable. I was told not to sit too close. Well I believe when speaking with a Prince, One waits for the prince to choose a topic. Waiting for me to... commence a conversation .. one can wait a rather long wait. Do you Know any jokes? Timing isn’t my strong suit. Cuppa tea? No thank you. Aren’t you going to start treating me Dr Logue? Only if you’re interested in being treated. Please, call me Lionel. I prefer Doctor. I prefer Lionel. What’ll I call you? Your Royal Highness, then Sir after that. A bit formal for here. What about your name? Prince Albert ...Frederick Arthur George? How about Bertie? Only my family uses that. Perfect. In here, it’s better if we’re equals. If we were equal I wouldn’t be here. I’d be at home with my wife and no-one would give a damn. Please, Don’t do that. I'm sorry? I believe, Sucking smoke into your lungs will kill you. My physicians say it relaxes the throat. They’re idiots. They’ve all been knighted. Makes it official then. My ‘castle’, my rules. What was your earliest memory? What? an earth do you mean? Your First recollection. I'm not... here to discuss my personal matters. Why’re you here then? Because I bloody well stammer! You have a bit of a temper? One of my many faults. When did the defect start? I've always been this way! I doubt that. Don’t tell me! It’s my stammer! - Its my field. I can assure you, no infant starts to speak with a stammer. When did yours start? four or five. That's typical. So I’ve been told. I can’t remember not doing it. I can believe that. Do you hesitate when you think? Don’t be ridiculous. How about when you talk to yourself? Everyone natters occasionally Bertie. Stop calling me that! I’m not going to call you anything else. Then we shan’t speak! Are you charging for this, Doctor? A fortune. So, when you talk to yourself, do you stammer? Of course not! Well, that proves your impediment isn’t a permanent part of you. What do you think was the cause? I don't know. I don’t care! I stammer! And no one can fix it. I Bet you, you can read flawlessly, right here, right now. And if I win, I get to ask questions. - And if I win? - You don’t have to answer. One usually ... wagers money. A bob each to sweeten it? Lets See your shilling?? - I don’t... carry money. - I had a funny feeling you mightn’t. I'll stake you. You can Pay me back next time. - Who says there is a next time? - I haven’t agreed to take you on, yet. Please stand. and take a look at that... I can’t read this. Then you owe me a shilling , for not trying. “To be... or not to be,....That... I can’t read! I haven’t finished yet. I’m going to record your voice and then play it back to you on the same machine. This is brilliant. It’s the latest thing from America: its a Silvertone. Pop this on? There’s a bob in this, mate. You can go home rich! - You’re playing music. - I know. How can I hear what I’m saying?! Surely a Prince’s brain knows what its mouth is doing? You’re not well acquainted with Royal Princes, are you? Hopeless. Hopeless! You were sublime. Would I lie to a prince of the realm to win twelve-pence? I’ve no idea what an Australian might do for that sort of money. Let me play it back to you. No. All right then, I get to ask you the question. Thank you Doctor, I don't feel.. this is for me. Thank You for your time, Bye. - Sir? the recording is free. Please.. keep it as a souvenir. KING GEORGE V (O.S.) For the present, the work to which we are all equally bound, is to arrive at a reasoned tranquillity... ...within our borders, to regain prosperity in this time of depression without self-seeking and to carry with us those whom the burden of past years has disheartened or overborne. To all, to each, I wish a Happy Christmas. God bless you. Easy when you know how. Have a go yourself. Congratulations, Sir. Ah, Mr Wood. Splendid fellow. Chap taught me everything I know: let the microphone do the work. Sit up, straight back, face boldly up to the bloody thing and stare it square in the eye, as you would any decent Englishman. Show who’s in command. Papa, I D-d-don’t thu-thu-think I c-c-can read this. - This devilish device will change everything if you don’t. In the past all a King had to do was look respectable in uniform and not fall off his horse. Now we must invade people’s homes and ingratiate ourselves with them. This family is reduced to those lowest, basest of all creatures... we’ve become...actors! - we’re not a family, we’re a firm. - Yet at any moment, some of us may be out of work. Your darling brother, and future king! The only wife he appears interested in is invariably the wife of another! - He’s broken off with Lady Furness. And taken up a Mrs Simpson, a woman with two husbands living! I told him straight, no divorced person could ever be received at court. He said, "It made him sublimely happy." I imagined that was because she was sleeping with him. “I give you my word..' this is what he said. “I give you my word we’ve never had immoral relations,” Stared square into his father’s eyes... and lied! When I’m dead that boy will ruin himself, this family, and this nation, within twelve months. Who’ll pick up the pieces? Herr Hitler, intimidating half of Europe, Marshall Stalin the other half? Who’ll stand between us, the jackboots, and the proletarian abyss? You? With your older brother shirking his duties, you’re going to have to do a lot more of this. Have a go yourself. Son. Get it out boy! ...m-marvels of m- - Modern... just take your time - form your words carefully Science, I am enabled, this ... - Relax! Just try it! Do it! Lying .. ***. “To be, or not to be, - that is the question: - “...whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them..” "..to die... to sleep; no more.." Strictly business. No p.. personal nonsense. I thought I’d made that very clear in our interview. - Got the shilling you owe me? - No I haven’t! - Didn’t think so. Besides, you tricked me! Physical excercises and tricks are important... What you’re asking will only deal with the surface of the problem. That’s sufficient. As far as i see it, My hausband... has mechanical difficulties with his speech. Maybe... Just deal with that. - I’m willing to work hard, Doctor Logue... - Lionel. - Are you.. are you willing to do your part? Alright. You want mechanics? We need to relax your throat muscles and strengthen your tongue. By repeating tongue twisters for example. “I am a thistle-sifter. I have a sieve of sifted thistles and a sieve of unsifted thistles. Because I am a thistle sifter.” - Fine! You have a flabby tummy, we must build up the strength in your diaphragm. Simple mechanics. That is all we ask. And that’s about a shilling’s worth. Forget about the blessed shilling! Perhaps, upon occasion, you might be requested some assistance in cope with a minor event. Will that agreeable? Of course. That will be the full extent of your services. - Shall I see you next week? - I shall see you every day. Ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah. Feel the loosening of the jaw Take a nice deep breath. Expand your chest.. How do you feel? full of hot air. - Isn’t that what public speaking is all about? Are you alright, Bertie? This is actually quite good fun, - Hello, Bertie. - Hello David. Where’ve you been? Been busy. - So was I. Elizabeth has pneumonia. I’m sorry. She’ll recover. Father won’t. - I’ll drive. Old ***’s doing this on purpose. Dying? Departing prematurely... to complicate matters. Oh for heaven’s sake, David. You know how long he’s been ill. Wallis explained. She’s terribly clever about this thing. LORD WIGRAM: ... whereas by letters patent underthe Great Seal, bearing date of Westminster, the eleventh June 1912 his Majesty King George V did constitute, order and declare that there should be a guardian, Custos Regni, in the form of Councillors of State It’s the order of the Council for the State, Sir. So we may act on your behalf. I’m still confused... Approved. Thank you. Feeling a little better Sir? No. I’m not feeling any better. I feel dreadful. Have you been ice skating? ..Ice skating. No, George. ...I know, darling, a talk, even a lovely long talk, is a poor substitute for holding tight and making drowsy. Nor making our own drowsies either, as we’ve had to dofar too often lately. David, Dinner? - I’m on with Wallis! Wallis misses me terribly. - Mama says you’re late for dinner. - She forgets Papa’s bloody clocks were always half an hour fast! How is the king? I hope he is not in pain. No, no, His Majesty, he’s quieter now. Thank you. David, If your father were well, tardiness would not be tolerated. None of this.. unpleasantness would be tolerated You know Sir, I appreciate that yo are different from your father in your outlook and temperament. I want you to know that whenever the King questioned your conduct, I tried in your interest, to present it in a most favourable light. I can always trust you to have my best interests at heart. I fear, our vigil will not be of long duration. Please, continue. We commend our brother George to the mercy of God, our Maker and Redeemer. Long live the King. I hope, I will make good as he has made good. What on earth was that? Poor Wallis. Now I’m trapped! Time for a Shake, dad? You sure? Go on. Put your thinking caps on. Bet its the Scottish Play. No, I bet it’s Othello. It’s always Othello. “Art thou afeard?” Caliban! Oh! For heaven’s sake.. that was a lucky guess! Don’t listen to egghead. Go on, Dad. “the isle is full ofnoises,Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twanging instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices,That, if then I had waked after long sleep,Will make me sleep again:” Alright, clever clogs, what comes next? “..and then, in dreaming, The clouds me thought would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me; that when I'm awake...” ...when I waked, I cried to dream again.” It’s such a sad thought. My next patient must be early. You better go lads, I’m sorry. Won’t be a moment, Clifford. Bertie! they told me not to expect you. I am Sorry about your father. I don’t wish to intrude.. oh no... course. Please come in. I’ve been practising. One hour a day. In spite of everything. What’s going on there? I was, sorry, mucking around with my kids. Do you feel like working today? A Curtis bi-plane. I’ll put on some hot milk. Logue, I’d kill for something stronger. I wasn’t there for my father’s death. Still makes me sad. I can imagine so. What did you father do? He was a brewer. At least there was free beer. Here’s to the memory of your father. I was informed, after the fact... that my father’s last words were: “Bertie has more guts than the rest of his brothers put together.” He couldn’t say that to my face. My brother. What about him? Try singing. I'm sorry. Know any songs? Songs? Yes songs. “Swanee River”. I love that song. Happens to be my favorite. Sing me the chorus. No. Certainly not. Always wanted to build models. Father wouldn’t allow it. He collected stamps. we had to collect stamps. You can finish that off. If you sing. I'm not going to sit here, wobbling. You can with me. Because you’re peculiar. I take that as a compliment. I’m not crooning “Swanee River!” Try “Camptown Races” then. “My brother D, he said to me, doo- dah doo-dah...” Continuous sound will give you flow. Does it feel strange, now that David’s on the throne? To tell the truth, It was a relief... Knowing I wouldn’t be King. But unless he produces an heir, you’re next in line. And your daughter, Elizabeth, would then succeed you. “You’re barking up the wrong tree now, Doctor, Doctor.” “Lionel” See? You didn’stammer. Of course I didn’t stammer, I was singing! Well, as a little reward, you get to put some glue on these struts. Your boy, won't mind? No, not at all. David and I were very close. Young bucks... You know. Chase the same girls? David was always very helpful in arranging introductions. We shared the expert ministrations of “Paulette” in Paris. Not at the same time of course. Did David tease you? Yes, they all did. “Buh-buh-buh-Bertie”. Father encouraged it. “Get it out, boy!” Said it would make me stop. Said...”I was afraid of my father, and my children are damn well going to be afraid of me”. Are you naturally right handed? Left. I was punished. Now I use the right. Yes, that’s very common with stammerers. Anything other corrections? Knock knees. Metal splints were made...worn night and day. That must have been painful. Bloody agony. Straight legs now. Who were you closest to in your family? Nannies. Not my first nanny, though..she loved David...hated me. When we are presented to my parents for the daily viewing, she’d pinch me.. I'd cry and be handed back to her.. immediately. Then... she would... Sing it. " then she wouldn’t feed me, far far away.” Took three years for my parents to notice. As you can imagine, it caused some stomach problems. Still. What about your brother Johnnie? Were you close to him? Johnny.. Sweet boy. Epilepsy...and... he was ’different’. Died at 13, hidden from view. I’ve been told it’s not catching. Do you want a top-up? Please. You know, Lionel, you’re the first ordinary Englishman... Australian. ...I’ve ever really spoken to. Sometimes, when I ride through the streets and see, you know, the Common Man staring at me, I’m struck by how little I know of hislife, and how little he knows of mine. Thank you. What’re friends for. I wouldn’t know. “I sifted seven thick-stalked thistles through strong thicksieves. I sifted seven...” One hundred year old oaks...removed to improve the view! Who does she think she is! Nonetheless...we must try to be pleasant towards Mrs Simpson. You know she calls me “The Fat Scottish Cook”? You’re not fat. I’m getting plump. You seldom cook. I sifted seven. Shut up!! Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York. How lovely to see you both. Welcome to our little country shack. I came at the invitation of the King. Hello David. you’re making some changes to the garden, I see yes, I am. I am not quite finished. Don’t tell me I behaved badly, Mr Churchill. On the contrary, your Royal Highness. Etiquette decrees royalty must be greeted by the official host: in this case: the King. Not a commoner. - Thank you. What is her hold on him? I have no idea. Apparently she has certain...skills, ...in an establishment in Shanghai. David, I’ve been trying to see you... I’ve been terribly busy. Doing what? Kinging. Kinging? is a precarious business! These days. Where is the Russian Tsar? Where is Cousin Wilhelm? You’re being dreary. Is Kinging laying off eighty staff at Sandringham and buying yet more pearls for Wallis while there ar people marching across Europe singing “The Red Flag”? Stop your worrying. Herr Hitler will sort that lot out. Who’ll sort out Herr Hitler? And you’ve put that woman into our mother’s suite? Mother’s not still in the bed, is she? That’s not funny. Wally likes the very best. I don’t care what woman you carry on with at night, as long as you show up for duty in the morning! Wally is not just some woman I am carrying on with. We intend to marry. Excuse me? She’s filing a petition for divorce. Good God. Can’t you just give her a nice house and a title? I won’t have her as my mistress. David, the Church does not recognise divorce and you are the head of the Church. Haven’t I any rights? Many privileges... Not the same thing. Your beloved Common Man may marry for love, why not me? If you were the Common Man, on what basis could you possibly claim to be King?! Sounds like you’ve studied our wretched constitution. Sounds like you haven’t. Is that what this is all about? Brushing up.. hence the elocution lessons? I’m trying to t-t... Yearning for a larger audience are we, B-b-b-bertie? D-don’t ... Younger brother trying to push older brother off throne.. Pa pa.. ...Positively medieval. Where have you been all this time? - Never you mind. Ahh..what a complicated lovely *** you are. - I try to be. All that work, down the drain. My own brother... I couldn’t say.. I couldn’t say a word in reply! Why do you stammer more with David than you do with me? Because you’re bloody well paid to listen! Bertie, I’m not a geisha girl. Stop trying to be so bloody clever! What is it about David that stops you speaking? What is it about you, that bloody makes want you to go on about it, all the time. Vulgar but fluent. You don’t stammer when you swear. *** off! Is that the best you can do? Well, bloody *** to you, you beastly ***. A public school *** can do better than that. *** ! ***, ***, ***! ***! See how defecation flows trippingly from the tongue? Because I’m angry! You Know the f-word? Fornication? OH Bertie. ***. ***, ***, ***! Yes! You see! Not a hesitation! Bloody, bloody, bloody! ***, ***, ***! ***, ***, ***! ***, ***, ***! Dad? What’s going on? Sorry. Finish your homework Well ..that’s a side of you we don’t get to see that often. No. No we’re not supposed to really, not publicly. Let’s get some air. No Logue, I don’t think that’s a good idea. What’s the matter? What’s got you so upset? Logue, you have no idea. My brother is infatuated with a woman who’s been married twice. She’s asking for a divorce and David is determined to marry her. Mrs Wallis Simpson of Baltimore. That’s not right. Queen Wallis of Baltimore? Unthinkable. 1 00:00:00,112 -> 00:00:02,603 - Can you do it? - Absolutely not! 2 00:00:02,942 -> 00:00:06,456 But they do it anyway. It has dezlãnþuit Hell. 3 00:00:07,439 -> 00:00:10,760 - I can not continue in private? - Would ... 4 00:00:13,086 -> 00:00:14,378 And what you gonna do? 5 00:00:17,170 -> 00:00:22,264 I know my place, and do everything but ... 6 00:00:23,230 -> 00:00:26,132 ... What in my power like to keep my brother on the throne. 7 00:00:27,296 -> 00:00:28,796 Even so serious is it? 8 00:00:30,510 -> 00:00:32,225 Might the place to be on your throne. 9 00:00:32,327 -> 00:00:34,581 I'm not a viable alternative My brother instead! 10 00:00:34,675 -> 00:00:37,113 - You can be better than David. - Do not take freedoms Thi! 11 00:00:38,467 -> 00:00:39,826 It's almost a betrayal. 12 00:00:39,933 -> 00:00:41,993 I just say that you could be king.
