1
00:01:38,285 --> 00:01:41,285
You are live in two minutes,
Your Royal Highness.
2
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Sir?
3
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,560
At the microphone,
Do your work Sir.
4
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,880
I am sure you will be splendid.
Just take your time.
5
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,320
Time to go.
6
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,800
BBC NEWS READER :
Good afternoon.
7
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,000
This is the BBC National
Programme and Empire Services
8
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,280
taking you to Wembley Stadium
for the Closing Ceremony of the Empire Exhibition.
9
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,080
where His Royal Highness the Duke of York
will read a message from His Father;
10
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,600
His Majesty, King George V.
11
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,400
58 British Colonies and Dominions
have taken part, making this the largest Exhibition
staged anywhere in the world.
12
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,680
Remember Sir, Three flashes;
then steady 'red' means you are Live.
13
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,680
BBC NEWS READER :
Using the new invention of radio,
14
00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:00,960
The Opening Ceremony was the first time
his Majesty the King addressed his subjects
on the wireless.
15
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,560
At the close of the first Season,
16
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,720
The heir to the throne His Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales, made his first broadcast.
17
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,400
And today,
his younger brother His Royal Highness,
18
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,760
the Duke of York will give his
inaugural broadcast to the Nation and the World.
19
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,880
I have received...
20
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,920
from his Majesty....t' ek
21
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,000
...The King.
22
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,560
SIR BLANDINE-BENTHAM:
Inhale deep into your lungs..
Your Royal Highness.
23
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,480
Relaxes your larynx, does it not?
24
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,720
Cigarette smoking calms the nerves
and gives you confidence.
25
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,240
If Your Highness will be very kind as
to open your hand...
26
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,440
It's Sterilized. Now..
27
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Now...if I may take the liberty?
28
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,320
...insert some into your mouth.
29
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,760
Excuse me, Doctor.
What is the purpose of this?
30
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:16,000
The classic approach,
it cured Demosthenes.
31
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,960
That was in Ancient Greece...uh
32
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,600
Has it worked since?
33
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Now,
if you would be so kind as to read...
34
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,360
A wealth of words.
35
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,960
Fight against those marbles,
Your Royal Highness.
36
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,000
Enunciate!
37
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,640
A little more concentration
your Royal Higness.
38
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,800
I nearly swallowed
the bloody things!
39
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,320
Thank you so much, Doctor,
40
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520
it’s been most...hmm
interesting.
41
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,880
Insert marbles!
42
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,600
He can insert his own bloody marbles....!
43
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
44
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080
You know,
you can’t keep doing this, Bertie.
45
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,560
I know.
46
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Promise me:
no more.
47
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,160
Hello.
Is anyone there?
48
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,040
I’m just in the loo.
49
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Ah, Mrs.Johnson
There you are.
50
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,280
I’m sorry, there’s no receptionist.
I like to keep things simple.
51
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,840
“Poor and content
is rich and rich enough”
52
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,120
- Sorry?
- Shakespeare. How are you?
53
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,960
How do you do?
54
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,240
Coughing a lot.
55
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,960
Now, this is slightly awkward, But..
I’m afraid you’re late.
56
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,480
Yes,
I’m afraid I am.
57
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,480
Where’s Mr Johnson?
58
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,640
He doesn’t know I’m here.
59
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,960
That’s not a promising start.
60
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,400
My husband has seen everyone to no avail.
Awefully 'fraid he’s given up hope.
61
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,400
He hasn’t seen me.
62
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,960
You’re awfully sure of yourself.
63
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Well,
I’m sure of anyone who wants to be cured.
64
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:04,640
Of course, he wishes to be cured.
65
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:09,640
My husband is umm..
he's required to speak publicly.
66
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:10,640
Perhaps he should change jobs?
67
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,080
- He can’t.
68
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,520
Indentured servitude?
69
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,440
Something of that nature.
70
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Well we need to have your hubby pop by...
71
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,520
Uh..Tuesday would be good...
72
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:29,160
He can give me his personal details and
I’ll make a frank appraisal and then, We can take it from there.
73
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,160
Doctor, forgive me.
74
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,240
I do not have a “hubby”.
We don’t ‘pop’.
75
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,440
and nor do we ever talk about our private lives.
76
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,160
You...
must come to us.
77
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,960
I'm Sorry, Mrs Johnson,
my game, my turf, my rules.
78
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,800
You'll have to talk over this with your hauband
and then you can speak to me on the telephone.
79
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Thank you very much for dropping by...
Good afternoon.
80
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,800
And what if my husband were the Duke of York?
81
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,560
The Duke of York?
82
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,440
Yes...
the Duke of York.
83
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,680
I thought the appointment was for “Johnson”?
Forgive me, your ...?
84
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,440
- ..Royal Highness.
85
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,440
Johnson was used during the Great War;
86
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,160
when the Navy didn’t want the enemy
to know ‘he’ was aboard.
87
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,360
- Am I...considered the enemy?
88
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,040
You will be,
if you remain un- obliging.
89
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Of course.
How did you find me, Your Royal Highness?
90
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,680
The President of the Speech Therapists Society.
91
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240
Eileen McCleod?
She’s a sport.
92
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:47,520
Dr McCleod warned me your antipodean methods
were “unorthodox and controversial”.
93
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:51,120
I warned her...
those were not my favorite words.
94
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,360
I can cure your husband.
But for my method to work I need trust and total equality;
95
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,760
Here, in the safety of my consultation room.
96
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,640
No exceptions.
97
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:06,440
Well then, in that case...
98
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,320
When can you start?
99
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,040
Still sounds a bit rough, mate.
100
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,920
You make me drive too slowly, Dad!
101
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,960
Did you pick mum up from Bridge?
102
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,720
Yes, I’ve hardly been out of the car all day.
103
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,040
I had a special visitor this afternoon.
104
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,920
- May I please leave this table
- How special, special?
105
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,720
No, You must stay,
bored stupid, listening to your
parents’ inane conversation.
106
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,480
- Thanks Dad..
- and Mum.
107
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:46,640
- Me too.
- You meeting Jean?
108
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:49,000
- No, someone else.
109
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Doctor? Doctor? Can't you help
your brother with the washing...
110
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,360
I’m fine.
111
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,840
Who's it Lionel?
112
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,640
Why bring it up
if you can’t talk about it?
113
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:05,680
Myrtle, It's just a woman,
looking to help her husband.
114
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,360
Oh!
And I had a ‘call’.
115
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,240
for an audition.
116
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,120
One of my favorites.
- Aren't they all?
117
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,000
It Could be a lot of fun.
118
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,160
I'm sure you'll be splendid.
119
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,840
They’re a highly regarded group.
120
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,960
From Putney.
121
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Tomorrow, Chapter IV.
122
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,480
‘The Flight’.
123
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,720
Oh, to fly away!
124
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,320
Weren’t they lucky!
125
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,480
Now Papa tell a story!
126
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,640
- Could I be a penguin instead?
127
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,120
Once, there were two princesses...
128
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,240
Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret.
129
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,920
whose Papa was a penguin.
130
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,720
This was because he had been
turned into one by the wicket witch.
131
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,840
This was an...
inconvenient for him..
132
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,880
because he loved to hold
his princesses in his arms...
133
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,840
and you can’t because he
don't have wings like herrings
134
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,640
- Herrings don’t have wings.
135
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,920
- Penguins have wings
which is shaped like herrings
136
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,600
and make matters worse...
137
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,240
is that she
sent him to the South Pole.
138
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,680
which is an awfully long walk..back.
139
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,520
if you can’t fly.
140
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,840
So..When he reached the water,
141
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,600
he dived in through the dept so fast...
142
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,680
that he was in Southampton
waters by lunchtime.
143
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,640
And from there,
he took the 2.30 to Weybridge,
144
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:05,200
changed at Clapham Junction and asked
a passing Mallard the way to Buckingham Palace.
145
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,320
He swam up the Thames,
out through the plughole,
146
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,320
and gave the cook,
147
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,240
Mama and ...Mrs Whittaker quite a shock.
148
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,520
Now when the girls heard all the commotions,
149
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,760
they ran to the kitchen where
they gave him a good scrub,
150
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,040
a mackerel and a kiss.
151
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,040
and as they kissed him,
152
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,520
guess what he turned into?
153
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,280
- A handsome prince.
154
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,640
A short-tailed Albatross.
155
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,400
With wings so big
156
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,160
that he could wrap them both
his two girls together.
157
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,960
Now, now..
It's time for bed.
158
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,360
Will Mrs Simpson be there?
159
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,840
- My brother’s insisting.
160
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640
- Is he serious?
161
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,120
- About her coming to dinner?
162
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,800
- No. About her!
163
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,560
- A married woman? He can’t be.
164
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,560
- She can.
165
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,560
By the way,
166
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,880
I think I found someone rather interesting.
167
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,240
On Harley Street. A doctor.
168
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,240
- Out of the question.
169
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,000
I’m not having this conversation again.
The matter's settled.
170
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,680
- His approach seems rather different....
171
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Now?
172
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,320
Now.
173
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,960
“Now is the winter of our discontent,
174
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,680
Made glorious summer
by this sun of York".
175
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,840
“And all the clouds
that lour’d upon our house
176
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,400
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
177
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,200
Now are our brows,
bound with victorious... wreaths;
178
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,440
- Thank you!
179
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,600
Lovely diction Mr...?
180
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,360
- Logue. Lionel Logue.
181
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,840
- Well, Mr.Logue.
182
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,720
I'm not hearing the cries of a deformed
creature yearning to be King.
183
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,880
Nor did I realize Richard the Third
was King of the Colonies.
184
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,520
I do know the lines.
I’ve played the role before.
185
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,120
- Sydney?
- Perth.
186
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,640
- Major theater town, is it?
187
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,120
-Enthusiastic.
188
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
- Ah.
- I was well reviewed.
189
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,120
Yes...
well...Lionel,
190
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,000
I think our dramatic society,
191
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,880
is looking for someone slightly younger
and a...
192
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,720
little more regal.
193
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,320
Where did you find this...physician?
194
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:12,320
Classifieds,
195
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:14,800
next to “French model,
Shepherd’s Market”.
196
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,240
He comes highly recommended.
197
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,320
Charges substantial fees
in order to help the poor.
198
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:21,640
Oh dear,
perhaps he’s a Bolshevik?!
199
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,160
No receptionist.
He likes to keep things simple.
200
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,600
- The Johnsons.
201
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,760
You can go in now, “Mr. Johnson”.
202
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,480
Lionel says...
203
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,800
wait here if you wish, Mrs Johnson.
204
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,840
Or, it being a p-
205
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:06,200
pleasant day,
p-perhaps take a stroll.
206
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,560
Was that alright...Lionel?
207
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,320
Marvellous! Willy.
You can stay and wait for your mom.
208
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Mrs Johnson...
209
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,680
Mr Johnson, Do come in.
210
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,600
He’s a good lad, Willy.
211
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,920
He could hardly make a sound, you know,
212
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,840
when he first came to me.
213
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,600
My boys made those.
Good, aren’t they?
214
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,280
Please make yourself comfortable.
215
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,880
I was told not to sit too close.
216
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,800
Well I believe when speaking with a Prince,
217
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,600
One waits for the prince to choose a topic.
218
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,520
Waiting for me to...
commence
219
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,920
a conversation ..
one can wait a rather long wait.
220
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,200
Do you Know any jokes?
221
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Timing isn’t my strong suit.
222
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,000
Cuppa tea?
223
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,960
No thank you.
224
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,000
Aren’t you going to start treating me
Dr Logue?
225
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,120
Only if you’re interested in being treated.
226
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,800
Please,
call me Lionel.
227
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,000
I prefer Doctor.
228
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,240
I prefer Lionel.
What’ll I call you?
229
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:54,120
Your Royal Highness,
then Sir after that.
230
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,720
A bit formal for here.
What about your name?
231
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:04,080
Prince Albert ...Frederick Arthur
George?
232
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:06,440
How about Bertie?
233
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,800
Only my family uses that.
234
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,240
Perfect.
In here, it’s better if we’re equals.
235
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,360
If we were equal I wouldn’t be
here.
236
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,520
I’d be at home with my wife
237
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,600
and no-one would give a damn.
238
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,480
Please, Don’t do that.
239
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,800
I'm sorry?
240
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,400
I believe, Sucking smoke
into your lungs will kill you.
241
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,880
My physicians say
it relaxes the throat.
242
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,200
They’re idiots.
243
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,640
They’ve all been knighted.
244
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Makes it official then.
245
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,200
My ‘castle’, my rules.
246
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,680
What was your earliest memory?
247
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,400
What?
an earth do you mean?
248
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,400
Your First recollection.
249
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,560
I'm not...
250
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,120
here to discuss my personal matters.
251
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,440
Why’re you here then?
252
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Because I bloody well stammer!
253
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,360
You have a bit of a temper?
254
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,200
One of my many faults.
255
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,120
When did the defect start?
256
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,120
I've always been this way!
257
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,120
I doubt that.
258
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,400
Don’t tell me! It’s my stammer!
259
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,400
- Its my field.
260
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,080
I can assure you,
no infant starts to speak with a stammer.
261
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:37,960
When did yours start?
262
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,360
four or five.
263
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,880
That's typical.
264
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,080
So I’ve been told.
265
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,960
I can’t remember not doing it.
266
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,760
I can believe that. Do you hesitate
when you think?
267
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,440
Don’t be ridiculous.
268
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,840
How about
when you talk to yourself?
269
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,880
Everyone natters occasionally
Bertie.
270
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,600
Stop calling me that!
271
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,400
I’m not going to call you anything
else.
272
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,080
Then we shan’t speak!
273
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,000
Are you charging for this, Doctor?
274
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,720
A fortune.
275
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,960
So, when you
talk to yourself, do you stammer?
276
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,440
Of course not!
277
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,720
Well, that proves your impediment isn’t
a permanent part of you.
278
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,920
What do
you think was the cause?
279
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,000
I don't know.
280
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,000
I don’t care!
I stammer!
281
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,680
And no one can fix it.
282
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,680
I Bet you, you can read
flawlessly, right here, right now.
283
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,600
And if I win, I get to ask
questions.
284
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,040
- And if I win?
285
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,040
- You don’t have to answer.
286
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,040
One usually ...
wagers money.
287
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,000
A bob each to sweeten it?
288
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,480
Lets See your shilling??
289
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,880
- I don’t...
carry money.
290
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,080
- I had a funny feeling you mightn’t.
291
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:32,680
I'll stake you.
You can Pay me back next time.
292
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,320
- Who says there is a next time?
293
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,880
- I haven’t agreed
to take you on, yet.
294
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,440
Please stand.
and take a look at that...
295
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,280
I can’t read this.
296
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,080
Then you owe me a shilling ,
for not trying.
297
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,560
“To be...
or not to be,....That...
298
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,800
I can’t read!
299
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,240
I haven’t finished yet.
300
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,320
I’m going to record your voice and
then play it back to you on the same machine.
301
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,800
This is brilliant.
302
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,040
It’s the latest thing from America:
its a Silvertone.
303
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,520
Pop this on?
304
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,680
There’s a bob in this, mate. You
can go home rich!
305
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,640
- You’re playing music.
- I know.
306
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,080
How can I hear what I’m saying?!
307
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:17,120
Surely a Prince’s brain knows what
its mouth is doing?
308
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,440
You’re not well acquainted with
Royal Princes, are you?
309
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,320
Hopeless.
Hopeless!
310
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,800
You were sublime. Would I lie to a
prince of the realm to win twelve-pence?
311
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,480
I’ve no idea what an Australian
might do for that sort of money.
312
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,480
Let me play it back to you.
313
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,000
No.
314
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,360
All right then,
I get to ask you the question.
315
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,360
Thank you Doctor,
316
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,240
I don't feel..
this is for me.
317
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,880
Thank You for your time,
Bye.
318
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:37,680
- Sir?
319
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,840
the recording is free.
320
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,200
Please..
keep it as a souvenir.
321
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,880
KING GEORGE V (O.S.)
For the present, the work to which
we are all equally bound,
322
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,040
is to arrive at a reasoned
tranquillity...
323
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:33,320
...within our borders, to regain
prosperity in this time of depression without self-seeking
324
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:41,760
and to carry with us those whom the
burden of past years has disheartened or overborne.
325
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,480
To all,
to each,
326
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,040
I wish a Happy Christmas.
God bless you.
327
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,080
Easy when you know how.
328
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:08,920
Have a go yourself.
329
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,480
Congratulations, Sir.
330
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,560
Ah, Mr Wood.
331
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:17,080
Splendid fellow. Chap taught me everything I know:
let the microphone do the work.
332
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,040
Sit up,
straight back,
333
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,520
face boldly up to the bloody thing
and stare it square in the eye,
334
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,200
as you would any decent Englishman.
335
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,840
Show who’s in command.
336
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,360
Papa, I D-d-don’t
thu-thu-think I c-c-can read this.
337
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,600
- This devilish device will change
everything if you don’t.
338
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,840
In the past all a King had to do was look
respectable in uniform and not fall off his horse.
339
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,800
Now we must invade people’s homes
and ingratiate ourselves with them.
340
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,360
This family is reduced to those lowest,
basest of all creatures...
341
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,440
we’ve become...actors!
342
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,440
- we’re not a family,
we’re a firm.
343
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,320
- Yet at any moment,
some of us may be out of work.
344
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,360
Your darling brother,
and future king!
345
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,840
The only wife he appears interested in
is invariably the wife of another!
346
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,280
- He’s broken off
with Lady Furness.
347
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,280
And taken up a Mrs Simpson,
348
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,000
a woman
with two husbands living!
349
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,680
I told him straight,
no divorced person could ever be received at court.
350
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,800
He said,
"It made him sublimely happy."
351
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,320
I imagined that was because she was
sleeping with him.
352
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,120
“I give you my word..'
this is what he said.
353
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:31,800
“I give you my
word we’ve never had immoral relations,”
354
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,000
Stared square into his father’s eyes...
and lied!
355
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,640
When I’m dead that boy will ruin
himself, this family, and this nation, within twelve months.
356
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,120
Who’ll pick up the pieces?
357
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,920
Herr Hitler, intimidating half of
Europe, Marshall Stalin the other half?
358
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:53,760
Who’ll stand between us, the
jackboots, and the proletarian abyss?
359
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:56,760
You?
360
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:06,520
With your older brother shirking his duties,
you’re going to have to do a lot more of this.
361
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,920
Have a go yourself.
Son.
362
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,400
Get it out boy!
363
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:26,320
...m-marvels of m-
- Modern...
364
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,880
just take your time -
form your words carefully
365
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:37,760
Science, I am enabled, this ...
- Relax!
366
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,200
Just try it!
367
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,160
Do it!
368
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,800
Lying ..
bastard.
369
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,840
“To be, or not to be,
- that is the question: -
370
00:33:53,880 --> 00:34:00,360
“...whether tis nobler in the mind
to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
371
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:06,560
Or to take arms against a sea of
troubles, And by opposing end them..”
372
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,400
"..to die...
to sleep; no more.."
373
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,080
Strictly business.
374
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,080
No p..
personal nonsense.
375
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,320
I thought I’d made that very clear
in our interview.
376
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,160
- Got the shilling you owe me?
377
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,800
- No I haven’t!
378
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,320
- Didn’t think so.
379
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,280
Besides,
you tricked me!
380
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,040
Physical excercises and tricks are important...
381
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,800
What you’re asking will only deal
with the surface of the problem.
382
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,560
That’s sufficient.
383
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,560
As far as i see it,
My hausband...
384
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,800
has mechanical difficulties with his speech.
385
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,600
Maybe...
Just deal with that.
386
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,440
- I’m willing to work hard, Doctor Logue...
- Lionel.
387
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,920
- Are you..
are you willing to do your part?
388
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,280
Alright.
You want mechanics?
389
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,760
We need to relax your throat muscles
and strengthen your tongue.
390
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,440
By repeating tongue twisters for example.
391
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,800
“I am a thistle-sifter. I have a sieve of sifted thistles
and a sieve of unsifted thistles.
392
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,520
Because I am a thistle sifter.”
393
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,520
- Fine!
394
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,280
You have a flabby tummy,
we must build up the strength in your diaphragm.
395
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,560
Simple mechanics.
396
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,560
That is all we ask.
397
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,760
And that’s about a shilling’s worth.
398
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,120
Forget about the blessed shilling!
399
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,560
Perhaps, upon occasion,
400
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:06,960
you might be requested
some assistance in cope with a minor event.
401
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,680
Will that agreeable?
402
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:10,560
Of course.
403
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:14,640
That will be the full extent of your services.
404
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,400
- Shall I see you next week?
405
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,560
- I shall see you every day.
406
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,400
Ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah.
407
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,520
Feel the loosening of the jaw
408
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,000
Take a nice deep breath.
Expand your chest..
409
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:50,480
How do you feel?
410
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,640
full of hot air.
411
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,640
- Isn’t that what public speaking is all about?
412
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,680
Are you alright, Bertie?
413
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:12,920
This is actually quite good fun,
414
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,920
- Hello, Bertie.
- Hello David.
415
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,360
Where’ve you been?
416
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,600
Been busy.
- So was I.
417
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,320
Elizabeth has pneumonia.
418
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,920
I’m sorry. She’ll recover.
419
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,720
Father won’t.
420
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,360
- I’ll drive.
421
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,320
Old bugger’s doing this on purpose.
422
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,200
Dying?
423
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:57,760
Departing prematurely...
to complicate matters.
424
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,480
Oh for heaven’s sake, David. You
know how long he’s been ill.
425
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,520
Wallis explained. She’s terribly
clever about this thing.
426
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:16,280
LORD WIGRAM:
... whereas by letters patent underthe Great Seal, bearing date of
Westminster, the eleventh June 1912
427
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:22,200
his Majesty King George V did constitute,
order and declare that there should be a guardian,
428
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:26,800
Custos Regni,
in the form of Councillors of State
429
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:31,080
It’s the order of the Council for
the State, Sir.
430
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,360
So we may act on your behalf.
431
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:42,760
I’m still confused...
432
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,080
Approved.
433
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,320
Thank you.
434
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:12,280
Feeling a little better Sir?
435
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,280
No. I’m not feeling any better. I
feel dreadful.
436
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,800
Have you been ice skating?
..Ice skating.
437
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,360
No, George.
438
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,960
...I know, darling, a talk, even a
lovely long talk, is a poor substitute
439
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:49,760
for holding tight and making drowsy.
Nor making our own drowsies either,
440
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,160
as we’ve had to dofar too often lately.
441
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,480
David, Dinner?
442
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,160
- I’m on with Wallis!
443
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:12,920
Wallis misses me terribly.
444
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,320
- Mama says you’re late for dinner.
445
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,160
- She forgets Papa’s bloody clocks
were always half an hour fast!
446
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,800
How is the king?
I hope he is not in pain.
447
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,720
No, no, His Majesty,
he’s quieter now.
448
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,640
Thank you.
449
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,800
David, If your father were well, tardiness
would not be tolerated.
450
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,720
None of this..
unpleasantness would be tolerated
451
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:15,680
You know Sir, I appreciate that yo
are different from your father in your outlook and temperament.
452
00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:20,240
I want you to know that whenever
the King questioned your conduct,
453
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:26,720
I tried in your interest, to present
it in a most favourable light.
454
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,720
I can always trust you to have my
best interests at heart.
455
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:48,360
I fear, our vigil will not be of
long duration.
456
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,840
Please, continue.
457
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:10,040
We commend our brother George to
the mercy of God, our Maker and Redeemer.
458
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,200
Long live the King.
459
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,440
I hope,
I will make good as he has made good.
460
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:18,640
What on earth was that?
461
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:21,960
Poor Wallis.
Now I’m trapped!
462
00:45:57,240 --> 00:45:58,920
Time for a Shake, dad?
463
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:01,880
You sure?
464
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,200
Go on.
465
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:13,960
Put your thinking caps on.
466
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,320
Bet its the Scottish Play.
467
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,120
No, I bet it’s Othello.
It’s always Othello.
468
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,880
“Art thou afeard?”
469
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:36,320
Caliban!
470
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,760
Oh! For heaven’s sake.. that was a
lucky guess!
471
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,160
Don’t listen to egghead.
Go on, Dad.
472
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:48,040
“the isle is full ofnoises,Sounds and sweet airs,
that give delight, and hurt not.
473
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:53,280
Sometimes a thousand twanging instruments
Will hum about mine ears;
474
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:58,880
and sometimes voices,That, if then I had waked after
long sleep,Will make me sleep again:”
475
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,720
Alright, clever clogs,
what comes next?
476
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,040
“..and then, in dreaming,
The clouds me thought would open,
477
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,120
and show riches Ready to drop upon me;
that when I'm awake...”
478
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,480
...when I waked, I cried to dream again.”
479
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,360
It’s such a sad thought.
480
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,520
My next patient must be early.
481
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,680
You better go lads, I’m sorry.
482
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,680
Won’t be a moment, Clifford.
483
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:31,480
Bertie!
they told me not to expect you.
484
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,720
I am Sorry about your father.
485
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:38,720
I don’t wish to intrude..
486
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,920
oh no...
course. Please come in.
487
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,520
I’ve been practising. One hour a
day. In spite of everything.
488
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,240
What’s going on there?
489
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,160
I was, sorry,
mucking around with my kids.
490
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,600
Do you feel like working today?
491
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,000
A Curtis bi-plane.
492
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,920
I’ll put on some hot milk.
493
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:23,240
Logue, I’d kill for something stronger.
494
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,560
I wasn’t there for my father’s
death. Still makes me sad.
495
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,760
I can imagine so.
496
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:38,600
What did you father do?
497
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,160
He was a brewer.
498
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,280
At least there was free beer.
499
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,280
Here’s to the memory of your father.
500
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,480
I was informed,
after the fact...
501
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,960
that my father’s last words were:
502
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,560
“Bertie has more guts than the rest of his
brothers put together.”
503
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,040
He couldn’t say that to my face.
504
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:18,920
My brother.
505
00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:22,600
What about him?
506
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,680
Try singing.
507
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,000
I'm sorry.
508
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:30,560
Know any songs?
509
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,000
Songs?
510
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,320
Yes songs.
511
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:34,520
“Swanee River”.
512
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:35,600
I love that song.
513
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,080
Happens to be my favorite.
514
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,560
Sing me the chorus.
515
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,160
No. Certainly not.
516
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:50,120
Always wanted to build models.
Father wouldn’t allow it.
517
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,440
He collected stamps.
we had to collect stamps.
518
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,600
You can finish that off.
If you sing.
519
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:08,600
I'm not going to sit here,
wobbling.
520
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,040
You can with me.
521
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,160
Because you’re peculiar.
522
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,200
I take that as a compliment.
523
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,400
I’m not crooning “Swanee River!”
524
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,040
Try “Camptown Races” then.
525
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:36,120
“My brother D, he said to me, doo-
dah doo-dah...” Continuous sound will give you flow.
526
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,960
Does it feel strange,
now that David’s on the throne?
527
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:53,560
To tell the truth,
528
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:54,800
It was a relief...
529
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,560
Knowing I wouldn’t be King.
530
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:05,000
But unless he produces an heir,
you’re next in line.
531
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:09,800
And your daughter, Elizabeth,
would then succeed you.
532
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,880
“You’re barking up the wrong tree
now, Doctor, Doctor.”
533
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,600
“Lionel” See?
You didn’stammer.
534
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,480
Of course I didn’t stammer, I was singing!
535
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,800
Well, as a little reward, you get
to put some glue on these struts.
536
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,720
Your boy,
won't mind?
537
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,120
No, not at all.
538
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:47,640
David and I were very close. Young
bucks... You know.
539
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,840
Chase the same girls?
540
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:10,040
David was always very helpful in arranging introductions.
We shared the expert ministrations of “Paulette” in Paris.
541
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,880
Not at the same time of course.
542
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,480
Did David tease you?
543
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,920
Yes, they all did.
“Buh-buh-buh-Bertie”.
544
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:34,960
Father encouraged it. “Get it out,
boy!” Said it would make me stop.
545
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:43,320
Said...”I was afraid of my father,
and my children are damn well going to be afraid of me”.
546
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,000
Are you naturally right handed?
547
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:56,480
Left.
I was punished. Now I use the right.
548
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:59,480
Yes, that’s very common with stammerers.
549
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,200
Anything other corrections?
550
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:07,360
Knock knees.
551
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,920
Metal splints were made...worn
night and day.
552
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,280
That must have been painful.
553
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,560
Bloody agony.
Straight legs now.
554
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,200
Who were you closest to in your family?
555
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:34,120
Nannies. Not my first nanny,
though..she loved David...hated me.
556
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:44,840
When we are presented to my parents
for the daily viewing, she’d pinch me..
557
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,840
I'd cry and
be handed back to her..
558
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,080
immediately.
559
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,000
Then...
she would...
560
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,360
Sing it.
561
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:08,200
" then she wouldn’t feed me,
far far away.”
562
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,240
Took three years for my parents to notice.
563
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:23,400
As you can imagine, it
caused some stomach problems. Still.
564
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,280
What about your brother Johnnie?
565
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:34,840
Were you close to him?
566
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,680
Johnny..
Sweet boy.
567
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,680
Epilepsy...and...
568
00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:55,200
he was ’different’.
569
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:03,280
Died at 13, hidden from view.
570
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:11,040
I’ve been told it’s not catching.
571
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:16,920
Do you want a top-up?
572
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:19,560
Please.
573
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:30,360
You know, Lionel, you’re the first
ordinary Englishman...
574
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:31,720
Australian.
575
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,080
...I’ve ever really spoken to.
576
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:42,480
Sometimes, when I ride through the
streets and see, you know,
577
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,240
the Common Man staring at me,
578
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:51,560
I’m struck by how little I know of hislife,
and how little he knows of mine.
579
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,680
Thank you.
580
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,040
What’re friends for.
581
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,800
I wouldn’t know.
582
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:15,240
“I sifted seven thick-stalked
thistles through strong thicksieves. I sifted seven...”
583
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,920
One hundred year old
oaks...removed to improve the view!
584
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:32,440
Who does she think she is!
585
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,560
Nonetheless...we must try to be
pleasant towards Mrs Simpson.
586
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,800
You know she calls me “The Fat
Scottish Cook”?
587
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:39,200
You’re not fat.
588
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,200
I’m getting plump.
589
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,040
You seldom cook.
590
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:48,600
I sifted seven.
591
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:49,880
Shut up!!
592
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,320
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of York.
593
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,360
How lovely to see you both.
594
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,280
Welcome
to our little country shack.
595
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:14,640
I came at the invitation of the
King.
596
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,080
Hello David.
597
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,520
you’re making some changes to
the garden, I see
598
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,120
yes, I am.
I am not quite finished.
599
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,040
Don’t tell me I behaved badly, Mr Churchill.
600
00:57:54,080 --> 00:58:01,600
On the contrary, your Royal
Highness. Etiquette decrees royalty
must be greeted by the official host: in this case: the King.
601
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:07,000
Not a commoner.
- Thank you.
602
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,600
What is her hold on him?
603
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,000
I have no idea.
604
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,040
Apparently she has
certain...skills,
605
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,680
...in an establishment in Shanghai.
606
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,160
David,
I’ve been trying to see you...
607
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:43,920
I’ve been terribly busy.
608
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,160
Doing what?
609
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:47,440
Kinging.
610
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,120
Kinging?
611
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:53,480
is a precarious business!
These days.
612
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,880
Where is the Russian Tsar?
Where is Cousin Wilhelm?
613
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,520
You’re being dreary.
614
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:03,080
Is Kinging laying off eighty staff at Sandringham
615
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,120
and buying yet more pearls for Wallis while there ar
people marching across Europe singing “The Red Flag”?
616
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,200
Stop your worrying. Herr Hitler
will sort that lot out.
617
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,240
Who’ll sort out Herr Hitler?
618
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:13,920
And you’ve put that woman into our
mother’s suite?
619
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:15,920
Mother’s not still in the bed,
is she?
620
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,400
That’s not funny.
621
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:20,000
Wally likes the very best.
622
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,360
I don’t care what woman you carry
on with at night,
623
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,320
as long as you show up for duty in the morning!
624
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,840
Wally is not just some woman I am
carrying on with.
625
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,440
We intend to marry.
626
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,240
Excuse me?
627
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,600
She’s filing a petition for
divorce.
628
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:38,720
Good God.
629
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,160
Can’t you just give her a nice
house and a title?
630
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,840
I won’t have her as my mistress.
631
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,200
David, the Church does not
recognise divorce and you are the head of the Church.
632
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:49,640
Haven’t I any rights?
633
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,600
Many privileges...
634
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:52,920
Not the same thing.
635
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,400
Your beloved Common Man may marry for love,
636
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:56,440
why not me?
637
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:01,920
If you were the Common Man, on what
basis could you possibly claim to be King?!
638
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,280
Sounds like you’ve studied our
wretched constitution.
639
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:05,160
Sounds like you haven’t.
640
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:11,280
Is that what this is all about? Brushing up..
hence the elocution lessons?
641
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:16,160
I’m trying to t-t...
642
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,720
Yearning for a larger audience are we,
B-b-b-bertie?
643
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,520
D-don’t ...
644
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:34,440
Younger brother trying to push older
brother off throne..
645
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,960
Pa pa..
...Positively medieval.
646
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,480
Where have you been all this time?
- Never you mind.
647
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:52,880
Ahh..what a complicated
lovely coon you are.
648
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,240
- I try to be.
649
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,760
All that work, down the drain.
650
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:02,600
My own brother...
651
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,200
I couldn’t say..
I couldn’t say a word in reply!
652
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,920
Why do you stammer more with David
than you do with me?
653
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,280
Because you’re bloody well paid to listen!
654
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,400
Bertie,
I’m not a geisha girl.
655
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:15,680
Stop trying to be so bloody clever!
656
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,320
What is it about David that stops you speaking?
657
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:23,240
What is it about you, that bloody makes
want you to go on about it, all the time.
658
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,360
Vulgar but fluent. You don’t
stammer when you swear.
659
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:27,280
Bugger off!
660
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:28,720
Is that the best you can do?
661
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:34,520
Well, bloody bugger to you,
you beastly bastard.
662
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,720
A public school prig can do better
than that.
663
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:40,360
Shit !
664
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,720
Shit, shit, shit!
shit!
665
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:49,720
See how defecation flows trippingly
from the tongue?
666
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:50,760
Because I’m angry!
667
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,400
You Know the f-word?
668
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:56,120
Fornication?
669
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:57,280
OH Bertie.
670
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,200
Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck!
671
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,920
Yes! You see! Not a hesitation!
672
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,480
Bloody, bloody, bloody! Shit, shit,
shit! Bugger, bugger, bugger! Fuck, fuck, fuck!
673
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,400
Dad? What’s going on?
674
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,080
Sorry. Finish your homework
675
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,520
Well ..that’s a side of you we don’t
get to see that often.
676
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:26,280
No. No we’re not supposed to
really, not publicly.
677
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:28,480
Let’s get some air.
678
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,600
No Logue, I don’t think that’s a
good idea.
679
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,600
What’s the matter?
What’s got you so upset?
680
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:39,880
Logue, you have no idea.
681
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:49,640
My brother is infatuated with a woman who’s
been married twice.
682
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,960
She’s asking for a divorce and
David is determined to marry her.
683
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:59,040
Mrs Wallis Simpson of Baltimore.
684
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:02,720
That’s not right.
Queen Wallis of Baltimore?
685
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:03,960
Unthinkable.
686
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:06,600
Can he do that?
687
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,640
Absolutely not.
But he’s going to anyway.
688
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,480
All hell’s broken loose.
689
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,000
- Can’t they carry on privately?
690
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,680
- If only they would.
691
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:20,760
- Where does that leave you?
692
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,280
I know my place!
693
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,960
I’ll do anything...
in my power to keep my brother on the throne.
694
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,400
-Is it that serious?
695
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,840
your place may be on the throne.
696
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,640
I am not an alternative to my
brother.
697
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,200
If you had to you could outshine David...
698
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:42,920
Don’t take liberties!
699
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:45,200
That’s bordering on treason.
700
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,160
I’m just saying you could be King.
You could do it!
701
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:48,600
That is treason!
702
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,840
I’m trying to get you to realise
you need not be governed by fear.
703
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,680
I’ve had enough of this!
704
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:54,760
What’re you afraid of?
705
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:55,840
Your poisonous words!
706
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:57,520
Why’d you come to me?
707
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:01,600
You are not some middle class bugger,
who needs elocution lessons so you can chit-chat...
708
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,520
Don’t instruct me on my duties!
709
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,800
I’m the son of a ....
King...
710
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,400
the brother of a king.
711
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,920
You’re the disappointing son of a brewer!
712
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,080
A jumped-up jackeroo from the
outback!
713
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,080
You’re nobody.
714
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,640
These sessions are over!
715
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:08,720
It’s not because she’s an American.
That is the least of it.
716
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:13,840
It’s because she is a soon to
be a twice divorced American,
717
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:20,960
and the King as head of The Church of England...
can not marry a divorced woman.
718
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:28,040
And Sir,
I apologize for the nature of this,
719
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:35,040
according to Scotland Yard,
the King has not always possess exclusive..rights
720
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,680
to Mrs. Simpson’s...
favours and affections,
721
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,160
sharing them with a
married used car salesman,
722
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,280
a certain Mr Guy Trundle.
723
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,560
In addition, it is also rumoured...
724
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:58,400
Hitler’s ambassador, Count von Ribbentrop,
sends her 17 carnations every day.
725
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:05,440
Should your brother continue to
ignore the advice of His Government, He must abdicate.
726
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:09,520
Otherwise His Government has no
choice but to resign.
727
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:10,600
Prime Minister,
728
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:15,920
you’d leave the
country without a government?
729
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,200
Does the King do what he wants,
730
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,400
or does he do what his people expect him to do?
731
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:33,400
What’s the matter, love?
732
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,000
I'm Just having trouble with a patient.
733
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,640
That Isn't like you..
why?
734
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,360
He's scared...
He is afraid with his own shadow.
735
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,520
Isn’t that why they come to you?
736
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:57,080
This fellow could be somebody
great, and he’s fighting me.
737
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,480
Perhaps, he doesn’t want to be great.
738
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,320
Perhaps that’s what you want.
739
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,840
I might have overstepped the mark.
740
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:15,600
Apologize,
741
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:17,080
Do you both good.
742
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,280
I’m very sorry, Mr Logue,
the Duke is busy.
743
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,080
I’m happy to wait.
Or I could come back later.
744
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,600
As I said,
the Duke is terribly busy.
745
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:49,880
Thank you.
746
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,880
The parliament will not support their marriage.
747
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,120
But there were other reasons for concern, Sir.
748
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,640
He was careless with state papers.
749
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,200
He lacked commitment and resolve.
750
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:19,840
There were those that worried where
he would stand when war comes with Germany .
751
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:24,040
We’re not coming to that?
752
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,960
Indeed we are, Sir.
753
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:31,160
Prime Minister Baldwin may deny this,
but Hitler’s intent is crystal clear.
754
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:38,360
War with Germany will come, and we will need
a King behind whom we can all stand united.
755
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:43,560
I fear...my brother is not of
756
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:47,000
sound mind, at this time.
757
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,720
Have you thought what you will call yourself?
758
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,720
Certainly not Albert, Sir.
Too Germanic.
759
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:11,160
What about George?
760
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:15,000
After your father? George the sixth.
761
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:20,480
It has rather a nice continuity to it,
don’t you think?
762
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:26,640
David! Thank God.
763
01:09:28,440 --> 01:09:30,000
You look exhausted!
764
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:34,840
How are you bearing up?
765
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,640
Bertie. The decision’s been made.
766
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:39,560
I have to go.
767
01:09:41,480 --> 01:09:43,760
I cannot accept that.
You are in no condition to make that decision.
768
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:45,040
I’m afraid there’s no other way.
769
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:49,560
I must marry her.
770
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:53,440
My mind’s made up.
I’m... sorry.
771
01:09:57,440 --> 01:09:59,640
That’s a terrible thing to hear.
772
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,720
David, nobody wants that.
I least of all.
773
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:18,120
" At long last I am able to say,
a few words of my own.
774
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:24,120
I have never wanted to withhold anything,
but until now,
775
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,760
it has not been constitutionally
possible for me to speak.
776
01:10:29,440 --> 01:10:36,080
A few hours ago I discharged
my last duty as King and Emperor.
777
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,480
Now that I have been succeeded by
my brother, the Duke of York
778
01:10:44,440 --> 01:10:47,600
my first words must be
to declare my allegiance to him.
779
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,000
This I do with all my heart.
780
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,840
You all know the reasons which have
impelled me to renounce the throne.
781
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,400
But you must believe me,
when I tell you
782
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:09,440
I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of
responsibility and to discharge my duties..
783
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:17,480
as King as I would wish to do without
the help and support of the woman I love...
784
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:20,920
And I want you to know,
785
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,160
..This decision has been made less
difficult to me
786
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:31,840
by the sure knowledge that my brother, with his
long training in the public affairs of this country...
787
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,120
...and with his fine qualities...
788
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:38,880
...will be able to take my place forth with
789
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:47,080
without interruption or
injury to the life and progress of the empire."
790
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:05,920
I meet you today...
791
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:14,880
in circumstances which are -
792
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,200
Mama, will we have space for our
horses in our new home?
793
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:53,640
Of course we will, darling, we’ll
have a palace of rooms.
794
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:03,840
Curtsey.
795
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:07,520
Your Majesty.
796
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:26,480
How was it?
797
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:45,640
I’m trying to familiarise myself
with what a state paper looks like.
798
01:14:50,480 --> 01:14:54,240
A despatch from Mr Baldwin
which I don’t understand a word of.
799
01:14:58,320 --> 01:14:59,760
David’s finances.
800
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:09,600
The Christmas broadcast -
801
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:11,840
I think that might be a mistake.
802
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:25,920
Plans for the Coronation -
803
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:29,840
I think that’s an even bigger mistake.
804
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:34,680
I’m not a King.
805
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:40,640
I’m a naval officer.
806
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:42,600
Its the only thing I know.
807
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,360
I’m not a King.
808
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,920
Dear, dear man...
809
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:09,520
You know...
i refused your first two marriage proposals,
810
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,200
not because I didn’t love you,
811
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,680
but because I couldn’t bear the royal cage.
812
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:20,480
Couldn't bear the idea of a life
of tours and public duties,
813
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:24,160
a life that no longer
was really to be my own.
814
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:26,640
But then I thought...
815
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:29,360
he stammers so beautifully...
816
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,160
they’ll leave us alone.
817
01:16:57,480 --> 01:17:01,520
Waiting for a king to apologize,
one can wait rather a long wait.
818
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,000
I’m afraid we’re slightly late.
819
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:16,200
This is home. Myrtle’s at bridge.
I’ve made sure the boys are out.
820
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:17,800
It’s lovely.
821
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:20,680
Absolutely lovely.
822
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:32,720
Would you like some tea, Ma’am?
823
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,040
Yes. I’ll help myself.
824
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:35,520
Off you go...
825
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,960
Or must I knock your heads together?
826
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:41,560
Here’s your shilling,
827
01:17:52,440 --> 01:17:53,840
I understand...
828
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,600
what you were tryingto say, Logue.
829
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,440
I went about it the wrong way.
830
01:18:01,480 --> 01:18:02,600
I’m sorry.
831
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:06,320
Now here I am.
832
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:11,560
Is the nation ready
for two minutes of radio silence?
833
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:15,280
Every stammerer always fears they
will fall back to square one.
834
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:17,360
I don’t let that happen.
835
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,160
If I fail in my duty...
836
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,640
David could come back.
837
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,360
I’ve seen the placards
838
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,520
“Save Our King!”
839
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,400
They don’t mean me.
840
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,720
Every other monarch in history
841
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:42,520
succeeded someone who was dead,
or just about to be.
842
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:50,520
My predecessor is not
only alive, but very much so.
843
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:56,800
What a bloody mess!
844
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:00,440
I can’t even give
them a Christmas Speech.
845
01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:02,160
Like your Dad used to do?
846
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:03,520
Precisely.
847
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:05,800
He's not here anymore.
848
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,720
Yes he is. He’s on that shilling I gave you.
849
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:17,960
Easy enough to give away. You don’t have
to carry him around in your pocket.
850
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:20,360
Or your brother.
851
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:26,320
You don't need to be afraid of the things
as you were afraid of when you were five.
852
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,920
You’re very much your own man, Bertie.
853
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:37,360
Am I?
854
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:43,920
Your face is next, mate.
855
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,320
Lionel?
856
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:47,480
Myrtle!
857
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,960
- Is it alright?
- Yes.
858
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,520
Bertie, come here.
859
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:57,080
- Are you alright, Logue?
- Yes.
860
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,880
- Shall we go through?
- Trust me. It's important.
861
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:05,560
What is it?
862
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,280
- Your... Your...
- It's “Your Majesty”, the first time.
863
01:20:10,440 --> 01:20:14,280
After that, it's “Ma’am,” as in Ham,
not Ma'lm as in Palm.
864
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,000
I haven't told her about us.
Sit down, relax.
865
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,960
I'm told your husband calls
my husband Bertie
866
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:27,000
and my husband calls your husband Lionel.
867
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,160
I trust you won't call me Liz.
868
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:33,000
Your Majesty, you may call me
Mrs Logue, Ma'am.
869
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:36,080
Very nice to meet you, Mrs Logue.
870
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:39,440
Logue, we can't stand here all day.
871
01:20:39,480 --> 01:20:42,440
Yes we can. Look, I need to wait
for the right moment.
872
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:45,640
- Logue, you’re being a coward!
- You're damn right.
873
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,360
Get out there, man!
874
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,400
Hello, Myrtle darling!
875
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:58,760
You're early. I believe you two have met!
But I didn't think, you know...
876
01:21:00,440 --> 01:21:03,680
King George the Sixth.
- It's very nice to meet you.
877
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,560
Will their Majesties be staying
to dinner?
878
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,600
We would love to, such a treat,
but alas...
879
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,600
a previous engagement. What a pitty.
880
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,320
- Archbishop.
- Welcome, your Majesty.
881
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,200
What a glorious tranformation, Sir.
882
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:45,200
I hope you'll forgive us if we continue
out preparations.
883
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:51,720
And now you will allow me to guide you
through the ceremony.
884
01:21:56,120 --> 01:22:00,680
We begin of course at the West door,
then into the nave.
885
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:06,600
I see you all your pronouncements are
to be broadcast, Archbishop.
886
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:11,920
Ah, yes, wireless is indeed a Pandora’s Box.
887
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:16,240
I'm afraid I also have to permit
the newsreel cameras.
888
01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:19,760
The product of which I shall personally
edit.
889
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,440
Without momentary hesitation.
890
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:29,480
This is Doctor Logue of Harley Street.
He's my speech therapist.
891
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,840
- Your Grace. - Had I known that Your
Majesty was seeking assistance
892
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:37,440
I should’ve made my own recommendation.
893
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,160
Dr. Logue...
894
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,080
will be attending the Coronation.
895
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:47,640
Well of course I shall speak with the Dean,
but it was extremely difficult.
896
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:55,200
I should like the Doctor to be seated
in the King's Box.
897
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,680
But members of your Family will be seated
there, Sir.
898
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:01,680
That is why it’s suitable.
899
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:05,880
And now, if you don’t mind Your Grace,
we need the premises.
900
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:10,640
My dear fellow, this is Westminster Abbey!
The Church must prepare his Majesty.
901
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,480
My preparations are equalized in important
902
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,680
With complete privacy, if you don't mind.
903
01:23:22,440 --> 01:23:24,640
Those are my wishes, Your Grace.
904
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:32,920
I shall place the Abbey at Your Majesty’s
disposal... this evening. Your Majesty.
905
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:56,720
.
906
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:01,000
.
907
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,880
I can’t believe I’m walking on Chaucer
and Handel and Dickens.
908
01:24:11,480 --> 01:24:14,040
Everything alright? Let's get cracking.
909
01:24:15,480 --> 01:24:19,000
I’m not here to rehearse, Doctor Logue.
910
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:23,640
Call me Lionel.
911
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:31,080
True, you... never...
called yourself "Doctor."
912
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:35,520
I did that... for you.
913
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:47,880
No training, no... diploma,
no... qualifications.
914
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:52,320
Just a... great deal of nerve.
915
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,000
The star chamber inquisition, is this?
916
01:24:56,080 --> 01:25:01,480
You asked trust and... total equality.
917
01:25:02,440 --> 01:25:05,560
Bertie, I heard you at Wembley.
I was there.
918
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:09,800
My son Laurie said “Dad, do you think
you could help that poor man?”
919
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:11,960
What, as a failed actor!?
920
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:17,960
It’s true, I’m not a doctor,
and yes I acted a bit,
921
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:23,200
Well I recited in pubs
and taught elocution in schools.
922
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,320
When the Great War came,
923
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:27,680
all our Soldiers were returning
straight from the front,
924
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,520
a lot of them shell-shocked,
unable to speak
925
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:33,960
somebody said, “Lionel, you're very good
at all this speech stuff.
926
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,280
Do you thin you can possibly help
these poor buggers.”
927
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:42,440
I did muscle therapy, exercise, relaxation,
but I knew I had to go deeper.
928
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:49,080
These poor young blokes had cried out
in fear, no-one was listening to them.
929
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,680
My job was to give them faith
in their own voice
930
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,520
and let them know that a friend
was listening.
931
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:01,920
That must ring a few bells with you,
Bertie.
932
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,920
You give a very noble account of yourself.
933
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,080
Make inquiries. It’s all true.
934
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:15,760
Inquiries have been made! You have no idea
who I have breathing down my neck?
935
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:23,680
I vouched for you and you have no...
credentials.
936
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:27,320
But lots of success!
I can't show you certificate -
937
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:30,960
there was no training then.
Everything I know I know from experience,
938
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:34,480
and that war... was some experience.
939
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,440
My plaque says,
"L. Logue, Speech Defects."
940
01:26:39,480 --> 01:26:42,200
No Dr., there are no letters
after my name.
941
01:26:47,480 --> 01:26:49,920
Lock me in the Tower.
- I would if I could!
942
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:51,800
- On what charge?
- Fraud!
943
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:56,960
With war looming, you’ve saddled
this nation with a voiceless King.
944
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:02,720
You destroyed the happiness of my family.
All for the sake of ensnaring a star...
945
01:27:03,480 --> 01:27:07,200
patient you couldn’t possibly hope
to assist!
946
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:13,840
It'll be like mad...
King George the Third,
947
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:21,400
there’ll be
mad King George the stammerer,
948
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:28,240
who let his people down so badly
in their hour of need!
949
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,440
What’re you doing? Get up!
You can’t sit there! Get up!
950
01:27:31,480 --> 01:27:32,680
Why not? It’s a chair.
951
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,040
No, that's not a chair,
that is... that is...
952
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,640
That is Saint Edward's Chair!
- People have carved their names on it.
953
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,320
That chair is the seat on which every
King and Queen---
954
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,560
- It's held in a place by a large rock!
- That’s the Stone of Scone,
955
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:47,960
you are trivialising everything.
- You believe such bollocks.
956
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:49,640
- You’re trivialising everything!
- I don’t care how many royal...
957
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,480
- Listen to me. Listen to me!
- ...arse have sat in this chair.
958
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:53,520
- Listen to me... !
- Listen to you?! By what right?
959
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,520
By the divine right, if you must!
I’m your King!!!
960
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:58,360
No you’re not! You told me so yourself.
You said you didn’t want it.
961
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:00,920
Why should I waste my time listening to you?
- Because I have a right to be heard!
962
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,360
- Heard as what?!
- I HAVE A VOICE!!!
963
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:09,800
Yes you do.
964
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:23,640
You have such a perservance, Bertie,
you’re the bravest man I know.
965
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,360
And you’ll make a bloody good king.
966
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:37,520
- What on earth’s going on, Sir?
- It's quite alright, Archbishop.
967
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,440
Mr Logue, you must know that I found
a replacement English specialist
968
01:28:41,480 --> 01:28:46,520
with impeccable credentials. Hence, your
services will no longer be required.
969
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:50,400
- I’m sorry? - Your Majesty's function
is to consult and be advised.
970
01:28:50,440 --> 01:28:54,080
And you didn't consuly, but you've just
been advised.
971
01:28:55,760 --> 01:29:02,640
Now I advise you: in this personal matter
I will make my own decision.
972
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:07,800
My concern is for the head upon
which I must place the crown.
973
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:12,840
I appreciate that Archbshop,
but it’s my head!
974
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:16,840
Your humble servant.
975
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:25,760
Thank you Bertie.
976
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:30,960
Shall we rehearse?
Come on up on your purge.
977
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:42,440
Now when you and Elizabeth enter through
the West door,
978
01:29:42,480 --> 01:29:46,320
you’ll be greeted by the hymn
“I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me.”
979
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:51,040
Actually you won't be that glad, because
they sing it for a very long time.
980
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:56,320
Then your friend the Archbishop
will ponce up the stairs toward you
981
01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:01,800
and say “Sir, is Your Majesty willing
to take The Oath?”
982
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,600
- “I am willing”.
- Course you are!
983
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:08,000
I'm gonna see what it sounds
like in the cheap seats
984
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,280
so even your old nanny can hear.
985
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:15,480
“Will you govern your peoples of
Great Britain, Ireland, Canada,
986
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:21,000
Australia and New Zealand according to
their lands and customs?”
987
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:25,840
- "I solemnly promise so do so."
- LOUDER! I can’t hear you up the back.
988
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:28,400
“I SOLEMNLY PROMISE TO DO SO!”
989
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:30,080
Very good!
990
01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:33,600
"Will you to your power cause Law
and Justice, in Mercy,
991
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,840
to be executed in all your judgements?"
992
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:38,880
"I will." “I WILL!”
993
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:41,560
Then there's a very long bit about
upholding the faith,
994
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:45,320
goes on, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.
To which you finally say...
995
01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:53,360
"The things which I have herebefore
promised, I will perform and keep.
996
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:55,280
So help me God.”
997
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:58,320
And that’s all you'll say.
Four short responses,
998
01:30:58,440 --> 01:31:01,400
kiss the book and sign the oath
and you're King.
999
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:03,760
Easy.
1000
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,880
You nearly crowned him backwards
Archbishop!
1001
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:25,240
Someone had removed the thread
marking the back of the Crown, Sir.
1002
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,200
Try not lose the thread, Archbishop.
1003
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,080
Archbishop, we're missing Papa.
1004
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:39,000
Very good, very good. Archbishop.
1005
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,560
Well, I hope Your Majesties are thrilled
with the result.
1006
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:46,800
You could switch that machine off now.
1007
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:48,880
No, wait, keep going.
1008
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:51,480
Do have a seat, Archbishop.
1009
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:55,560
Movie commentary
1010
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,080

- Papa? - Mmm? - Papa, what’s he saying?
1016
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:17,720
I don’t know, but he seems to be
saying it rather well.
1017
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:46,200
Sir, I have asked to see you today in order
to tender my resignation as Prime Minister.
1018
01:32:48,480 --> 01:32:51,040
I am so sorry to hear that, Mr Baldwin.
1019
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:55,160
Neville Chamberlain will take my place
as Prime Minister.
1020
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,760
It’s a matter of principal.
I was mistaken.
1021
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:06,360
I have found it impossible to believe
that there is any man in the World
1022
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:11,320
so lacking in moral feeling as Hitler,
1023
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:19,720
but the world might be hurled for a second
time into the abyss of destructive War.
1024
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:27,240
Churchill was right all along.
This was always Hitler’s intention.
1025
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,720
I am many very sorry to leave you in
this great time of crisis.
1026
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:41,720
I am very much afraid Sir, that your
greatest test is yet to come.
1027
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:52,880
I am speaking to you from the cabinet
room at 10 Downing Street.
1028
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:58,400
This morning the British Ambassador
in Berlin
1029
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:02,480
handed the German Government a final note
1030
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:08,320
stating that unless we heard from them
by 11 o’clock
1031
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:13,640
that they were prepared at once to
withdraw their troops from Poland,
1032
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:17,600
a state of war would exist between us.
1033
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:24,200
I have to tell you now that no such
undertaking has been received,
1034
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:30,480
and that consequently this country is
at war with Germany.
1035
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:41,640
At last Sir, here is your speech.
You are on air at six.
1036
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:48,920
I’ve timed it at just under nine minutes.
The wording is fully approved.
1037
01:34:49,440 --> 01:34:52,200
The Prime Minister will be joining you
for the broadcast
1038
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:56,640
which will go out live across the Nation,
the Empire and to our Armed Forces.
1039
01:34:56,680 --> 01:34:58,640
Get Logue here immediately.
1040
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:15,760
- There's the barrage balloons.
- Yes.
1041
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:19,880
They got them up there quickly. Yeah.
1042
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,560
.
1043
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,960
.
1044
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,400
.
1045
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:36,960
- Should we pull over and find shelter?
- No, go straight on. We’ll be alright
1046
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:39,200
.
1047
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:48,480
- Yes. Sir? - Lionel Logue.
1048
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,440
Major Hartley's expecting me.
This is my son Laury.
1049
01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:01,280
- Thank you, Laurie.
- Good luck, Dad.
1050
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:09,520
- The King’s Speech.
- Thank you, Sir.
1051
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:12,440
We have about forty minutes until
the broadcast.
1052
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,040
Thank you very much. Thank you.
1053
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:23,360
“There may be dark days ahead, and..."
1054
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:25,760
Try again.
1055
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:33,560
“There may be dark days ahead, and..."
1056
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:38,520
Turn the hesitations into pauses, and say
to yourself, “God save the King”.
1057
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:42,080
I say that continuously,
but apparently no one’s listening.
1058
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:45,560
Long pauses are good: they add
solemnity to great occasions.
1059
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:48,440
Then I’m the solemnest king who ever lived.
1060
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:52,880
And Lionel, if I am to be King...
where is my power?
1061
01:36:53,080 --> 01:37:00,960
Can I... Can I form a Government? Can I...
Can I levy a tax or declare a war? No!
1062
01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:03,240
Yet I am the seat of all authority. Why?
1063
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:08,960
Because the Nation believes that
when I speak, I speak for them.
1064
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:10,560
Yet I cannot speak!
1065
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:15,800
Let’s take it all again from the top.
“In this grave hour...”
1066
01:37:27,480 --> 01:37:31,440
“In this grave hour fuck fuck fuck
1067
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:34,760
perhaps the most fateful in our history
bugger shit shit
1068
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:38,480
I send to every household of my...
1069
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:43,600
You see "P" is always difficult,
even when I'm singing.
1070
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,800
Bounce onto it "a-peoples", not "people".
1071
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:54,520
“a-people household of me...”
“a-peoples both at home and overseas...”
1072
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:56,120
Beaut.
1073
01:37:56,400 --> 01:38:01,400
...this message, doo-dah, spoken with
the same depth of feeling, doo-dah-dey,
1074
01:38:01,480 --> 01:38:05,440
...for each one of you as if I were able
to shit fuck bugger
1075
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:08,480
cross your threshold and speak to you”
1076
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:12,360
In your head, now: “I have a right to be
bloody well heard!”
1077
01:38:12,440 --> 01:38:16,120
Bloody well heard, bloody well heard,
bloody well heard myself!
1078
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:19,120
Now Waltz. Move! Get continuous movement.
1079
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:24,840
“For the second time in the lives of most
of us we are at...”
1080
01:38:25,480 --> 01:38:28,560
- “we are...” Take a pause.
- Lionel, I can’t do this.
1081
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:30,680
Bertie, you can do it.
1082
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:36,280
- Have a look at the last paragraph.
- Bertie, it’s time.
1083
01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:41,760
There he is.
1084
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,320
- Archbishop.
- Your Majesty.
1085
01:38:53,440 --> 01:38:55,120
A great moment, Sir.
1086
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:01,800
- Prime Minister.
- Your Majesty.
1087
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:08,200
Nice to see you again, so soon.
1088
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:19,480
Good of you to be here, I’m sure
you’ve had rather a busy day.
1089
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:23,840
Let’s hope we have no more interruptions
from those damned sirens, Sir.
1090
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:26,040
Or the wretched dogs.
1091
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:32,480
- Congratulations. First Lord of
the Admiralty. - Your Majesty.
1092
01:39:36,440 --> 01:39:39,480
The long walk.
1093
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:43,760
Good luck, Sir.
1094
01:39:45,680 --> 01:39:51,680
I too dread this apparatus. Had a speech
impediment myself, you know.
1095
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:56,240
- I didn’t.
- Family secret. Tongue-tied.
1096
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:59,640
An operation was considered to be
too dangerous.
1097
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:03,240
I eventually made an asset of it.
1098
01:40:06,440 --> 01:40:08,560
- Thank you, Mr Churchill.
- Good, Sir.
1099
01:40:09,440 --> 01:40:10,800
Darling.
1100
01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:14,040
- How long, Logue?
- Just under three minutes, Sir.
1101
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:24,880
.
1102
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:31,600
Five seconds, Sir.
1103
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:36,560
5, 4, 3 , 2 , 1.
1104
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:41,280
.
1105
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:43,360
.
1106
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:47,080
- Mr Wood.
- Good luck, Your Majesty.
1107
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:51,760
Mr Wood.
1108
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:55,200
- You'll be decorated, Logue.
- I made it cosy.
1109
01:40:57,440 --> 01:40:59,120
Some fresh air.
1110
01:40:59,920 --> 01:41:01,920
There you are, Darling.
1111
01:41:05,480 --> 01:41:10,200
I'm thistle sifter, I've a sieve of sifted
thistles and a sieve on unsifted thistles.
1112
01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:14,520
I've a sieve of sifted thistles and a sieve
on unsifted thistles, because I'm...
1113
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:17,600
Bertie, darling, make sure it’s not switched on!
1114
01:41:18,440 --> 01:41:22,120
Remember the red light will blink four times
and then I’ve asked them to turn it off,
1115
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:26,280
because we don’t want that evil eye
staring at you all the way through.
1116
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:28,240
One minute, sir.
1117
01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:32,960
I am sure you will be splendid.
1118
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:46,520
Fourty seconds, Sir.
1119
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:53,200
Logue, however this turns out,
1120
01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:58,600
I don’t know how to thank you
for what you’ve done.
1121
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:03,280
Knighthood?
1122
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:09,480
Twenty seconds.
1123
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:22,920
Forget everything else and just say
it to me. Say it to me, as a friend.
1124
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:09,080
In this grave hour,
1125
01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:21,240
perhaps the most fateful in our history,
1126
01:43:24,480 --> 01:43:32,920
I send to every household of my peoples,
1127
01:43:36,560 --> 01:43:37,840
both at home
1128
01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:43,960
and overseas
1129
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:55,840
this message
1130
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:01,480
spoken with the same depth of feeling
1131
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:04,280
for each one of you
1132
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:09,200
as if I were able to cross your threshold
1133
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:13,840
and speak to you myself.
1134
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:22,160
For the second time in the lives of
most of us
1135
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:27,680
we are at... at war.
1136
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:36,160
Over and over again
1137
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:40,480
we have tried to find
1138
01:44:43,120 --> 01:44:51,160
a peaceful way out of the differences
between ourselves
1139
01:44:52,560 --> 01:45:00,200
and those who are now our enemies.
1140
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:05,440
But it has been in vain.
1141
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:11,040
We have been forced into a conflict.
1142
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:17,080
For we are called, to meet the challenge
of a principle
1143
01:45:18,440 --> 01:45:20,720
which, if it were to prevail,
1144
01:45:21,440 --> 01:45:25,040
would be fatal to any civilized order
1145
01:45:26,480 --> 01:45:27,720
in the world.
1146
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:30,880
Such a principle,
1147
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:36,240
stripped of all disguise,
1148
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:40,280
is surely the mere
1149
01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:50,160
primitive doctrine that might is right.
1150
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:56,920
For the sake of all that we ourselves
hold dear,
1151
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:08,120
it is unthinkable that we should refuse
to meet the challenge.
1152
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:18,320
It is to this high purpose
that I now call
1153
01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:26,160
my people at home and my peoples across
the seas,
1154
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:31,520
who will make our cause their own.
1155
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:38,080
I ask them to stand calm and firm,
1156
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:43,080
and united in this time of trial
1157
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:46,520
the task will be hard.
1158
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,520
There may be dark days ahead,
1159
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:59,320
and war can no longer be confined
to the battlefield.
1160
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:05,000
But we can only do the right
as we see the right
1161
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:14,040
and reverently commit our cause to God.
1162
01:47:16,440 --> 01:47:24,040
If one and all we keep resolutely
faithful to it,
1163
01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:29,240
then, with God’s help,
1164
01:47:31,240 --> 01:47:34,840
we shall prevail.
1165
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:51,760
Very good, Bertie.
1166
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:09,120
You still stammered on the “w”.
1167
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:13,880
Had to throw in a few so they knew
it was me.
1168
01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:22,280
Congratulations, your Majesty.
A true broadcaster.
1169
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:23,880
Thank you, Mr Wood.
1170
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:29,120
Congratulations, your Majesty.
1171
01:48:30,040 --> 01:48:32,840
- Congratulations, your Majesty.
- Thank you.
1172
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:45,280
Ready.
1173
01:48:46,160 --> 01:48:47,640
- Good?
- Perfect.
1174
01:48:49,400 --> 01:48:53,920
Your first war time speech.
Congratulations.
1175
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:59,280
Expect I shall have to do
a great deal more.
1176
01:49:03,480 --> 01:49:04,960
Thank you, Logue.
1177
01:49:14,480 --> 01:49:17,880
Well done, my friend.
1178
01:49:20,600 --> 01:49:23,880
Thank you, Your Majesty.
1179
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:38,520
I knew you’d be good.
1180
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,520
Thank you, Lionel.
1181
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:55,720
Onwards?
1182
01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:58,440
Congratulations, Sir.
1183
01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:01,880
Almost did it better then myself, Sir.
1184
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:04,680
Your Majesty, I’m speechless.
1185
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:06,720
Congratulations, Sir.
1186
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:08,040
Gentlemen.
1187
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:10,520
Congratulations, your Majesty.
1188
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:12,320
So how was Papa, Elizabeth?
1189
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:18,040
Halting at first, but you got much
better Papa.
1190
01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:19,720
Bless you.
1191
01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:24,520
- And how about you, Margaret?
- You were just splendid, Papa.
1192
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:26,000
Of course I was.
1193
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:29,560
We all ready?
1194
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:31,760
Come on girls.
