1
00:01:38,810 --> 00:01:41,810
You are live in two minutes, Your Royal Highness.

2
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,750
Sir?

3
00:01:54,710 --> 00:01:57,060
At the microphone, Do your work Sir.

4
00:01:58,860 --> 00:02:02,400
I am sure you will be splendid. Just take your time.

5
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:15,830
Time to go.

6
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,300
Good afternoon.

7
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:28,530
This is the BBC National Programme and Empire Services

8
00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:30,510
taking you to Wembley Stadium

9
00:02:30,510 --> 00:02:33,840
for the Closing Ceremony of the Empire Exhibition.

10
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,570
where His Royal Highness the

11
00:02:35,570 --> 00:02:38,590
Duke of York will read a message from his Father;

12
00:02:38,590 --> 00:02:41,150
His Majesty, King George V.

13
00:02:41,350 --> 00:02:45,160
58 British Colonies and Dominions have taken part,

14
00:02:45,170 --> 00:02:48,960
making this the largest Exhibition staged anywhere in the world.

15
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,800
Remember Sir, Three flashes;

16
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,230
then steady 'red' means you are Live.

17
00:02:53,230 --> 00:02:55,350
Using the new invention of radio,

18
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:57,100
The Opening Ceremony was the first time...

19
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:01,510
his Majesty the King addressed his subjects on the wireless.

20
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:04,120
At the close of the first Season,

21
00:03:04,130 --> 00:03:06,400
The heir to the throne His Royal Highness...

22
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,280
the Prince of Wales, made his first broadcast.

23
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,910
And today, his younger brother His Royal Highness,

24
00:03:13,940 --> 00:03:16,000
the Duke of York will give his

25
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,290
inaugural broadcast to the Nation and the World.

26
00:04:23,690 --> 00:04:25,400
I have received...

27
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,440
from his Majesty the...

28
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:57,510
The King...

29
00:05:22,980 --> 00:05:27,080
Inhale deep into your lungs... Your Royal Highness.

30
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:30,990
Relaxes your larynx, does it not?

31
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,240
Cigarette smoking calms the nerves and gives you confidence.

32
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:42,750
Now, if Your Highness will be so kind as to open your hand.

33
00:05:51,810 --> 00:05:53,930
It's Sterilized.

34
00:05:53,930 --> 00:05:56,810
One, two, three,

35
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:03,500
four, five, six, seven.

36
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,590
Now, if I may take the liberty,

37
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,790
insert them into your mouth.

38
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,250
Excuse me, Doctor. What is the purpose of this?

39
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:16,480
It is the classic approach, it cured Demosthenes.

40
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,440
That was in Ancient Greece.

41
00:06:18,490 --> 00:06:19,700
Has it worked since?

42
00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:25,440
Now, if you would be so kind as to read.

43
00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:27,820
"A wealth of words."

44
00:06:35,450 --> 00:06:37,660
Fight against those marbles, Your Royal Highness.

45
00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:42,490
Enunciate!

46
00:06:46,210 --> 00:06:49,110
A little more concentration your Royal Higness.

47
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:55,290
I nearly swallowed the bloody things!

48
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,780
Thank you so much, Doctor,

49
00:06:57,820 --> 00:07:01,440
it's been most, hmm... interesting.

50
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,920
Your highness.

51
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,340
Insert... marbles!

52
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:10,060
He can insert his own bloody marbles.

53
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:18,780
Tick, tock. Tick, tock.

54
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,200
You know, you can't keep doing this, Bertie.

55
00:07:26,030 --> 00:07:27,030
I know.

56
00:07:31,020 --> 00:07:35,480
Promise me. Promise me, no more.

57
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,690
Hello. Is anyone there?

58
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,500
I'm just in the loo.

59
00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:20,900
Ah, Mrs.Johnson, there you are.

60
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
I'm sorry, there's no receptionist. I like to keep things simple.

61
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,460
"Poor and content is rich and rich enough."

62
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,160
- I'm Sorry? - Shakespeare. How are you?

63
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,500
How do you do?

64
00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:35,700
Oh, chuffing along.

65
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:39,760
Um, now, this is slightly awkward, but I'm afraid you're late.

66
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:42,990
Yes, I'm afraid I am.

67
00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:43,940
Where's Mr Johnson?

68
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,750
Ah... He doesn't know I'm here.

69
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,430
That's not a promising start.

70
00:09:50,290 --> 00:09:52,440
No. No, look,

71
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,080
my husband has seen everyone to no avail.

72
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:57,910
Awefully 'fraid he's given up hope.

73
00:09:58,250 --> 00:09:59,880
He hasn't seen me.

74
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,440
You're awfully sure of yourself.

75
00:10:01,470 --> 00:10:04,100
Well, I'm sure of anyone who wants to be cured.

76
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:05,600
Of course, he wishes to be cured.

77
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,140
My husband is um... Well, he's required to speak publicly.

78
00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:12,000
Perhaps he should change jobs?

79
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:13,610
He can't.

80
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:16,060
Indentured servitude?

81
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,600
Something of that nature. Yes.

82
00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:21,610
Well we need to have your hubby pop by.

83
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:24,990
Uh..Tuesday would be good...

84
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:26,990
He can give me his personal details

85
00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:29,630
and I'll make a frank appraisal and then, We can take it from there.

86
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:31,080
Doctor, forgive me.

87
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,100
I do not have a hubby. We don't pop.

88
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:37,430
And nor do we ever talk about our private lives.

89
00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:39,680
You... must come to us.

90
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:43,450
I'm Sorry, Mrs Johnson, my game, my turf, my rules.

91
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,490
You'll have to talk over this with your husband

92
00:10:45,490 --> 00:10:48,260
and then you can speak to me on the telephone.

93
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:51,890
Thank you very much for dropping by... Good afternoon.

94
00:10:55,770 --> 00:10:57,270
And what if my husband were the Duke of York?

95
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,030
The Duke of York?

96
00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:01,930
Yes... the Duke of York.

97
00:11:13,070 --> 00:11:16,160
I thought the appointment was for Johnson? Forgive me, your ...?

98
00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:17,960
Royal Highness.

99
00:11:17,970 --> 00:11:19,880
Johnson was used during the Great War;

100
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:22,660
when the Navy didn't want the enemy to know he was aboard.

101
00:11:22,660 --> 00:11:24,840
Am I...considered the enemy?

102
00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:27,850
You will be, if you remain unobliging.

103
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,540
And you have to have abosolute descretion.

104
00:11:31,730 --> 00:11:36,750
Of course. How did you find me, Your Royal Highness?

105
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:40,170
The President of society of the Speech Therapists.

106
00:11:40,210 --> 00:11:42,730
Eileen McCleod? She's a sport.

107
00:11:42,770 --> 00:11:44,450
Dr McCleod warned me your

108
00:11:44,450 --> 00:11:48,020
antipodean methods were unorthodox and controversial.

109
00:11:48,060 --> 00:11:51,590
I warned her... those were not my favorite words.

110
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,660
I can cure your husband.

111
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:56,850
But for my method to work I need trust and total equality;

112
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,230
Here, in the safety of my consultation room.

113
00:12:01,390 --> 00:12:03,100
No exceptions.

114
00:12:05,030 --> 00:12:06,930
Well then, in that case...

115
00:12:15,250 --> 00:12:16,800
When can you start?

116
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:27,520
Still sounds a bit rough, mate.

117
00:12:27,570 --> 00:12:29,400
You make me drive too slowly, Dad!

118
00:12:29,450 --> 00:12:31,420
Did you pick mum up from bridge?

119
00:12:31,470 --> 00:12:33,210
Yes, I've hardly been out of the car all day.

120
00:12:33,260 --> 00:12:36,560
I had a special visitor this afternoon.

121
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:39,400
- May I please leave this table. - How special, special?

122
00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:41,010
No, You must stay, bored stupid,

123
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:43,200
listening to your parents'inane conversation.

124
00:12:43,250 --> 00:12:44,500
- Thanks Dad.. - and Mum.

125
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:45,020
And mom.

126
00:12:45,020 --> 00:12:47,100
- Me too. - You meeting Jean?

127
00:12:47,140 --> 00:12:49,470
No, someone else.

128
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,060
Doctor? Doctor? Can't you help your brother with the washing...

129
00:12:55,060 --> 00:12:56,860
I'm fine.

130
00:12:56,890 --> 00:12:58,360
Who's it Lionel?

131
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,150
Why bring it up if you can't talk about it?

132
00:13:01,150 --> 00:13:06,150
Myrtle, It's just a woman, looking to help her husband.

133
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:07,840
Oh! And I had a call.

134
00:13:07,890 --> 00:13:09,760
For an audition.

135
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,610
- One of my favorites. - Aren't they all?

136
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,490
It could be a lot of fun.

137
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,650
I'm sure you'll be splendid.

138
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:19,320
They're a highly regarded group.

139
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,440
From Putney.

140
00:13:23,790 --> 00:13:25,380
Tomorrow, Chapter IV.

141
00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:26,300
The flight

142
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,770
- Mama, I don't know they fly at all. - I can't wait

143
00:13:29,770 --> 00:13:31,010
Oh, to fly away

144
00:13:31,530 --> 00:13:32,780
Weren't they lucky!

145
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:35,960
Now Papa tell a story!

146
00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:42,140
Could I be a penguin instead?

147
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,280
Well, now I want a penguin story.

148
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,450
Very quickly.

149
00:13:56,650 --> 00:13:59,590
Once, there were two princesses.

150
00:13:59,950 --> 00:14:02,730
Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret.

151
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:05,390
whose Papa was a penguin.

152
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,610
This was because he had been turned into one by the wicket witch.

153
00:14:13,460 --> 00:14:14,920
This was an inconvenient for him.

154
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:21,350
Because he loved to hold his princesses in his arms...

155
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:26,320
and penguin can't because he has wings like herrings.

156
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,700
Herrings don't have wings.

157
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:33,340
Penguins have wings which is shaped like herrings...

158
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:37,020
and make matters worse...

159
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,700
is that she sent him to the South Pole.

160
00:14:40,990 --> 00:14:43,130
which is an awfully long walk back.

161
00:14:45,230 --> 00:14:46,940
if you can't fly.

162
00:14:46,980 --> 00:14:49,290
So... When he reached the water,

163
00:14:49,650 --> 00:14:52,330
he dived in through the dept so fast...

164
00:14:52,330 --> 00:14:55,150
that he was in Southampton waters by lunchtime.

165
00:14:55,150 --> 00:14:59,080
And from there, he took the 2:30 to Weybridge,

166
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,530
changed at Clapham Junction and...

167
00:15:01,530 --> 00:15:05,660
asked a passing mallard the way to Buckingham Palace.

168
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,790
He swam up the Thames, out through the plughole,

169
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:10,370
and gave the cook,

170
00:15:10,370 --> 00:15:13,700
Mama and Mrs Whittaker quite a shock.

171
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,950
Now when the girls heard all the commotions,

172
00:15:16,990 --> 00:15:21,240
they ran to the kitchen where they gave him a good scrub,

173
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,900
a mackerel and a kiss.

174
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:25,790
and as they kissed him,

175
00:15:27,570 --> 00:15:28,970
guess what he turned into?

176
00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:30,740
A handsome prince.

177
00:15:30,740 --> 00:15:32,490
A short-tailed Albatross.

178
00:15:33,610 --> 00:15:35,540
With wings so big...

179
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,640
that he could wrap them both his two girls together.

180
00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:43,790
Now, now... It's time for bed. Come on.

181
00:15:43,790 --> 00:15:45,500
Take these horses to stable.

182
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,500
- Quickly now, you have exactly a minute. - Good night.

183
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:50,000
Feed them, bath them and to bed.

184
00:15:51,420 --> 00:15:52,790
Will Mrs Simpson be there?

185
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,200
My brother's insisting.

186
00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:58,090
Is he serious?

187
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:01,550
About her coming to dinner?

188
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,230
No, about her.

189
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,980
A married woman? He can't be.

190
00:16:08,030 --> 00:16:08,980
She can.

191
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,310
By the way, I think I found someone rather interesting.

192
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:14,660
On Harley Street. A doctor.

193
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:15,660
Out of the question.

194
00:16:15,710 --> 00:16:20,470
I'm not having this conversation again. The matter's settled.

195
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,800
His approach seems rather different....

196
00:16:25,850 --> 00:16:26,840
Now?

197
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:28,780
Now.

198
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,380
"Now is the winter of our discontent,

199
00:16:39,430 --> 00:16:44,150
Made glorious summer by this sun of York.

200
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:47,290
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house

201
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,890
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

202
00:16:49,890 --> 00:16:54,690
Now are our brows, bound with victorious... wreaths."

203
00:16:54,690 --> 00:16:55,890
Thank you!

204
00:16:59,070 --> 00:17:01,640
Lovely diction Mr...?

205
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,830
Logue. Lionel Logue.

206
00:17:02,830 --> 00:17:04,800
Well, Mr.Logue.

207
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,970
I'm not hearing the cries

208
00:17:07,970 --> 00:17:11,510
of a deformed creature yearning to be King.

209
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,700
Nor did I realize Richard III was King of the Colonies.

210
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:23,430
I do know all the lines. I've played the role before.

211
00:17:23,430 --> 00:17:25,420
- Sydney? - Perth.

212
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:28,070
Major theater town, is it?

213
00:17:28,110 --> 00:17:29,650
Enthusiastic.

214
00:17:30,850 --> 00:17:32,510
I was well reviewed.

215
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:39,010
Yes... well, Lionel,

216
00:17:39,010 --> 00:17:42,520
I think our dramatic society,

217
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,330
is looking for someone slightly younger and a...

218
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,440
little more regal.

219
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:05,500
You have to shut that one first. Put that one forth.

220
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:07,500
Excellent.

221
00:18:09,590 --> 00:18:11,980
Where did you find this... physician?

222
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:13,110
Classifieds,

223
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:15,970
next to 'French model, Shepherd's Market'.

224
00:18:15,970 --> 00:18:17,770
He comes highly recommended.

225
00:18:17,770 --> 00:18:19,740
Charges substantial fees in order to help the poor.

226
00:18:20,190 --> 00:18:22,090
Oh dear, perhaps he's a Bolshevik?!

227
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:28,590
Ah, there's no receptionist. Likes to keep things simple.

228
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,400
Uh... The Johnsons.

229
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:48,210
You can go in now, Mr. Johnson.

230
00:18:49,470 --> 00:18:50,700
Lionel says...

231
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,870
wait here if you wish, Mrs Johnson.

232
00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:56,580
Or, it being a...

233
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,760
pleasant day...

234
00:19:04,490 --> 00:19:07,360
perhaps take a stroll.

235
00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:11,010
Was that alright... Lionel?

236
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:16,220
Marvellous! Willy.

237
00:19:16,220 --> 00:19:17,760
You can stay and wait for your mom.

238
00:19:19,250 --> 00:19:20,570
Mrs Johnson...

239
00:19:21,950 --> 00:19:23,770
Mr Johnson, Do you come in?

240
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,900
Would you like a sweetie?

241
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,700
He's a good lad, Willy.

242
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,030
He could hardly make a sound, you know,

243
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,930
when he first came to me.

244
00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:01,700
My boys made those. They're good, aren't they?

245
00:20:03,140 --> 00:20:05,390
Please make yourself comfortable.

246
00:20:21,770 --> 00:20:23,970
I was told not to sit too close.

247
00:20:32,050 --> 00:20:33,910
Well I believe when speaking with a prince,

248
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,710
One waits for the prince to choose a topic.

249
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,650
Waiting for me to... commence

250
00:20:46,650 --> 00:20:51,020
a conversation, one can wait a rather long wait.

251
00:20:51,020 --> 00:20:53,400
Ah, yes, well...

252
00:20:59,850 --> 00:21:01,500
Do you know any jokes?

253
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,400
Timing isn't my strong suit.

254
00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:14,130
Cup of tea?

255
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,410
No thank you.

256
00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:18,300
I think I'll have one.

257
00:21:30,910 --> 00:21:33,550
Aren't you going to start treating me, Dr Logue?

258
00:21:34,270 --> 00:21:36,230
Only if you're interested in being treated.

259
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,730
Please, call me Lionel.

260
00:21:43,020 --> 00:21:44,130
I prefer Doctor.

261
00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:45,820
I prefer Lionel.

262
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:50,900
- What will I call you? - Your Royal Highness.

263
00:21:52,330 --> 00:21:54,930
Then... it's "sir" after that.

264
00:21:54,930 --> 00:21:57,810
A little bit formal for here. I prefer names.

265
00:21:59,490 --> 00:22:05,060
Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George.

266
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:07,300
How about Bertie?

267
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,700
- Only my family uses that. - Perfect.

268
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:17,370
In here, it's better if we're equals.

269
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,560
If... if we were equals, I wouldn't be here.

270
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:30,660
I'd be... at home with my wife

271
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:33,300
and no one would give a damn.

272
00:22:33,850 --> 00:22:35,270
Please, Don't do that.

273
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:36,880
I'm sorry?

274
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,150
I believe, sucking smoke into your lungs will kill you.

275
00:22:41,650 --> 00:22:44,980
My physicians say it relaxes the... the throat.

276
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,900
- They're idiots. - They've all been knighted.

277
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,100
Makes it official then.

278
00:22:52,700 --> 00:22:54,460
My castle, my rules.

279
00:22:58,970 --> 00:22:59,890
Thank you.

280
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,820
What was your earliest memory?

281
00:23:05,540 --> 00:23:07,020
What on earth do you mean?

282
00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:08,020
Your first recollection.

283
00:23:08,020 --> 00:23:09,320
I'm not...

284
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:14,490
here to discuss my personal matters.

285
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,770
Why're you here then?

286
00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:17,190
Because I am bloody well stammer!

287
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,140
You have a bit of a temper?

288
00:23:20,140 --> 00:23:22,330
One of my many faults.

289
00:23:23,850 --> 00:23:25,210
When did the defect start?

290
00:23:25,210 --> 00:23:26,740
I've always been this way!

291
00:23:26,740 --> 00:23:27,740
I doubt that.

292
00:23:27,750 --> 00:23:31,610
Don't tell me! It's my stammer!

293
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:33,180
It's my field. I can assure you,

294
00:23:33,180 --> 00:23:36,090
no infant starts to speak with a stammer.

295
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,810
When did yours start?

296
00:23:40,770 --> 00:23:41,970
Four or five.

297
00:23:41,970 --> 00:23:43,480
That's typical.

298
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,970
So I've been told.

299
00:23:46,750 --> 00:23:48,550
I can't remember not doing it.

300
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,750
I can believe that.

301
00:23:51,250 --> 00:23:53,380
Do you hesitate when you think?

302
00:23:53,380 --> 00:23:55,050
Don't be ridiculous.

303
00:23:55,050 --> 00:23:56,700
How about when you talk to yourself?

304
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,510
Everyone natters to themselves occasionally, Bertie.

305
00:24:01,510 --> 00:24:03,200
Stop... stop calling me that.

306
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,510
I'm not going to call you anything else.

307
00:24:04,510 --> 00:24:06,050
Then we shan't speak!

308
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,760
Are you charging for this, Doctor?

309
00:24:27,130 --> 00:24:28,490
A fortune.

310
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,320
I'll just let that brew.

311
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:41,510
So... when you talk to yourself, do you stammer?

312
00:24:41,810 --> 00:24:45,600
No... of course not!

313
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,770
Well, that proves your impediment isn't a permanent part of you.

314
00:24:49,770 --> 00:24:51,610
What do you think was the cause?

315
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,000
I don't... don't know.

316
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:57,620
I... I don't... I don't care!

317
00:24:58,790 --> 00:25:00,000
I... I stammer!

318
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:04,280
And no one can fix it.

319
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,270
I bet you, you can read flawlessly, right here, right now.

320
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,010
And if I win the bet, I get to ask you more questions.

321
00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:14,790
- And if I win? - You don't have to answer.

322
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,630
One usually... wagers money.

323
00:25:19,630 --> 00:25:21,600
A bob each to keep it sweet?

324
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:27,500
- Let's see your shilling. - I don't... carry money.

325
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:29,700
I had a funny feeling you mightn't.

326
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,160
I'll stake you. And you can pay me back next time.

327
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,950
Who says there is a next time?

328
00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:37,650
I haven't agreed to take you on, yet.

329
00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:44,260
Please stand. And take a look at that.

330
00:25:52,370 --> 00:25:53,900
I can't... I can't read this.

331
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:56,850
Well, then you owe me a shilling, for not trying.

332
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,340
To be... or not to be, that...

333
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:20,000
I can't read!

334
00:26:22,050 --> 00:26:23,350
I haven't finished yet.

335
00:26:33,170 --> 00:26:34,580
I'm going to record your voice

336
00:26:34,580 --> 00:26:36,950
and then play it back to you on the same machine.

337
00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:38,410
This is brilliant.

338
00:26:38,410 --> 00:26:41,810
It's the latest thing from America. It's a Silvertone.

339
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,800
Pop this on?

340
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,600
There's a bob in this, mate. You can go home rich!

341
00:27:10,130 --> 00:27:12,260
- You're playing music. - I know.

342
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:14,690
So how can I hear what I'm saying?

343
00:27:14,690 --> 00:27:17,750
Surely a Prince's brain knows what its mouth is doing.

344
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:22,200
You're not well acquainted with Royal Princes, are you?

345
00:27:58,860 --> 00:28:01,090
Hopeless. Hopeless!

346
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:05,210
You were sublime.

347
00:28:06,790 --> 00:28:09,390
Would I lie to a prince of the realm to win twelve pence?

348
00:28:09,390 --> 00:28:12,650
I've no idea... what an Australian might do

349
00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:14,080
for that sort of money.

350
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,890
Let me play it back to you.

351
00:28:17,620 --> 00:28:18,600
No.

352
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,970
All right then, I get to ask you the question.

353
00:28:20,970 --> 00:28:21,970
Thank you, Doctor,

354
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,000
I don't feel... this is for me.

355
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,650
Thank You for your time, Bye.

356
00:28:36,610 --> 00:28:37,440
Sir?

357
00:28:43,990 --> 00:28:45,080
The recording is free.

358
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,780
Please keep it as a souvenir.

359
00:29:01,550 --> 00:29:02,480
No.

360
00:29:19,690 --> 00:29:20,970
For the present,

361
00:29:20,980 --> 00:29:23,550
the work to which we are all equally bound,

362
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,810
is to arrive at a reasoned tranquillity

363
00:29:26,810 --> 00:29:28,000
within our borders,

364
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:32,610
to regain prosperity at this time of depression,

365
00:29:32,610 --> 00:29:34,490
without self-seeking...

366
00:29:34,490 --> 00:29:38,970
and to carry with us those whom the burden of past years...

367
00:29:38,970 --> 00:29:42,380
has disheartened or overborne.

368
00:29:42,380 --> 00:29:47,600
To all, to each, I wish a Happy Christmas.

369
00:29:48,340 --> 00:29:49,800
God bless you.

370
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:53,490
And off air.

371
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,090
Easy when you know how.

372
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,500
Sir.

373
00:30:08,170 --> 00:30:09,200
Have a go yourself.

374
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,480
- Congratulations, Sir. - Mr. Wood.

375
00:30:12,590 --> 00:30:13,110
Splendid fellow.

376
00:30:13,750 --> 00:30:15,410
Chap taught me everything I know.

377
00:30:15,420 --> 00:30:17,230
Let the microphone do the work.

378
00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:19,970
- Sir. - Thank you.

379
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:21,460
Gentlemen.

380
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,330
Sit up, straight back,

381
00:30:23,730 --> 00:30:26,510
face boldly up to the bloody thing and stare it square in the eye,

382
00:30:26,510 --> 00:30:28,510
as you would any decent Englishman.

383
00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:30,130
Show who's in command.

384
00:30:30,140 --> 00:30:33,640
Papa, I don't think I can read this.

385
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,000
This devilish device will change everything if you don't.

386
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,930
In the past all a King had to do was

387
00:30:38,930 --> 00:30:42,930
look respectable in uniform and not fall off his horse.

388
00:30:42,930 --> 00:30:44,830
Now, we must invade people's homes...

389
00:30:44,830 --> 00:30:46,610
and ingratiate ourselves with them.

390
00:30:46,610 --> 00:30:48,360
This family's been reduced

391
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,800
to those lowest, basest of all creatures.

392
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,900
We've become actors!

393
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,720
We're not a family, we're a firm.

394
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,700
Yet at any moment, some of us may be out of work.

395
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,700
Your darling brother, and future king!

396
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:04,110
The only wife he appears interested in

397
00:31:04,110 --> 00:31:06,070
is invariably the wife of another!

398
00:31:06,070 --> 00:31:08,520
He's broken off with Lady Furness.

399
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,860
And taken up a Mrs. Simpson,

400
00:31:09,860 --> 00:31:12,240
a woman with two husbands living!

401
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,620
I told him straight,

402
00:31:13,620 --> 00:31:16,930
no divorced person could ever be received at court.

403
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,710
He said it made him sublimely happy.

404
00:31:22,350 --> 00:31:25,800
I imagined that was because she was sleeping with him.

405
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,030
"I give you my word," this is what he said.

406
00:31:28,030 --> 00:31:31,720
"I give you my word we've never had immoral relations."

407
00:31:32,650 --> 00:31:36,550
stared square into his father's face and lied!

408
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,020
When I'm dead, that boy will ruin himself,

409
00:31:39,020 --> 00:31:41,340
this family and this nation within twelve months.

410
00:31:41,340 --> 00:31:42,670
Who'll pick up the pieces, hmm?

411
00:31:43,730 --> 00:31:45,730
Herr Hitler intimidating half of Europe.

412
00:31:45,730 --> 00:31:47,470
Marshall Stalin the other half.

413
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:50,000
Who'll stand between us,

414
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,480
the jackboots, and the proletarian abyss?

415
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:56,600
You?

416
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:00,660
Well,

417
00:32:01,630 --> 00:32:04,120
with your older brother shirking his duties,

418
00:32:04,420 --> 00:32:06,600
you're going to have to do a lot more of this.

419
00:32:08,390 --> 00:32:10,340
Have a go yourself.

420
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:20,360
- With the wireless... - Get it out, boy!

421
00:32:20,670 --> 00:32:27,310
- one of the... marvels of... - Modern.

422
00:32:27,310 --> 00:32:31,600
Just take your time, form your words carefully.

423
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:38,480
- science, I am enabled... - Relax!

424
00:32:42,220 --> 00:32:44,600
- Just try it! - This Chrismas Day...

425
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,340
to speak to all my...

426
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:52,100
Do it!

427
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,200
Lying .. bastard.

428
00:33:28,700 --> 00:33:30,280
- "You're playing music. - I know.

429
00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:34,000
So how can I hear what I'm saying?

430
00:33:34,450 --> 00:33:36,900
Surely a Prince's brain knows what its mouth is doing?

431
00:33:37,230 --> 00:33:41,070
You're not well acquainted with Royal Princes, are you?

432
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,790
To be, or not to be, that is the question.

433
00:33:54,790 --> 00:33:57,970
whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer...

434
00:33:57,970 --> 00:34:01,100
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

435
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,500
or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

436
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,240
and by opposing end them?

437
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,080
To die, to sleep no more,

438
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,740
and by a sleep to say we end...

439
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,540
is the heartache and the thousand natural shocks...

440
00:34:17,540 --> 00:34:21,260
that flesh is heir to. Tis a consummation...

441
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,900
Hopeless. Hopeless!"

442
00:34:26,090 --> 00:34:27,370
Strictly business.

443
00:34:27,370 --> 00:34:32,310
No... personal nonsense.

444
00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:34,570
I thought I'd made that very clear in our interview.

445
00:34:34,950 --> 00:34:36,410
Have you got the shilling you owe me?

446
00:34:37,210 --> 00:34:38,080
No, I haven't.

447
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,580
Didn't think so.

448
00:34:39,580 --> 00:34:42,540
Besides, you tricked me!

449
00:34:42,540 --> 00:34:45,310
Physical excercises and tricks are important...

450
00:34:45,310 --> 00:34:46,380
What you're asking

451
00:34:46,380 --> 00:34:48,090
will only deal with the surface of the problem.

452
00:34:48,870 --> 00:34:50,100
Is that effecient?

453
00:34:50,510 --> 00:34:52,000
No, as far as I see it,

454
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,070
my husband has mechanical difficulties with his speech.

455
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:59,010
Maybe just deal with that.

456
00:35:02,950 --> 00:35:06,100
I'm willing to work hard, Doctor Logue.

457
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,200
Lionel.

458
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:11,830
Are you... are you willing to do your part?

459
00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:17,030
Alright. You want mechanics?

460
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,340
We need to relax your jaw muscles

461
00:35:19,340 --> 00:35:22,400
and strengthen your tongue by repeating tongue twisters

462
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,300
For example, "I'm a thistle-sifter.

463
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:25,900
I have a sieve of sifted thistles and...

464
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:28,840
a sieve of unsifted thistles because I am a thistle-sifter.

465
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:29,760
Fine!

466
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,930
You do have a flabby tummys,

467
00:35:31,930 --> 00:35:34,520
we need spend some times to strength in your diaphragm.

468
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:35,820
Simple mechanics.

469
00:35:35,820 --> 00:35:36,840
That is all we ask.

470
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,010
And that's about a shilling's worth.

471
00:35:38,020 --> 00:35:40,520
Forget about the bloody shilling!

472
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:55,800
Perhaps, upon occasions...

473
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:59,740
you might be requested to assist...

474
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,990
in coping with... some minor event.

475
00:36:07,990 --> 00:36:09,500
Will that be agreeable?

476
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:11,510
Of course.

477
00:36:12,930 --> 00:36:15,420
Yes. And that will be the full extent of your services.

478
00:36:15,420 --> 00:36:17,180
Shall I see you next week?

479
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,350
I shall see you every day.

480
00:36:24,660 --> 00:36:26,600
Feel the loosening of the jaw.

481
00:36:29,730 --> 00:36:32,440
Good. Little bounces, bounces. Shoulders loose.

482
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,460
Now lips.

483
00:36:41,470 --> 00:36:44,220
Take a nice deep breath. Expand your chest..

484
00:36:44,220 --> 00:36:46,000
put your hands on your ribs.

485
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:49,200
Deeper, good.

486
00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:50,760
How do you feel?

487
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,100
Full of hot air.

488
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:55,460
Isn't that what public speaking is all about?

489
00:36:55,460 --> 00:36:59,630
My wife and I are glad to visit this important...

490
00:37:00,860 --> 00:37:05,470
Take a good deep breath, and up comes Her Royal Highness

491
00:37:05,470 --> 00:37:09,250
and slowly exhale, and down comes Her Royal Highness.

492
00:37:09,980 --> 00:37:11,840
- You alright, Bertie? - Yes.

493
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,130
This is actually quite good fun.

494
00:37:13,130 --> 00:37:15,310
- Mmm... mother.

495
00:37:15,310 --> 00:37:17,680
- Shorter time each time. - Mmm...mother.

496
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,530
- Mmm... manufactoring district. - Another deep breathe...

497
00:37:22,530 --> 00:37:24,890
- Jack and Jill... - Jack and Jill...

498
00:37:24,890 --> 00:37:27,260
- went up the hill. - went up the hill.

499
00:37:27,260 --> 00:37:28,430
Now just sway.

500
00:37:29,950 --> 00:37:30,700
Perfect.

501
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:33,700
We'll not permit us to...

502
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,570
- Loosen the shoulders. - Ding dong bell,

503
00:37:36,570 --> 00:37:41,380
which is in the well... who put any little ton in ten...

504
00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:47,020
Still short memory, Bertie, come on.

505
00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:52,400
- A cow. - A cow.

506
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,800
- A king. - A king.

507
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:01,100
Anyone who can shout vows in a open window

508
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:02,730
can learn to deliver a speech.

509
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:06,980
Fourty... fifty!

510
00:38:06,980 --> 00:38:09,400
- Take a deep breath, and... - It is...

511
00:38:11,110 --> 00:38:13,500
- Let the words flow. - Knight as a bloody wack...

512
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,120
Come on. One more time, Bertie, do it!

513
00:38:16,750 --> 00:38:18,860
a sieve of sifted thistles...

514
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:35,330
- Father. Father. - F... father. Father.

515
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:42,970
- Name of the "th", father. - Father. F... father. Father.

516
00:39:14,030 --> 00:39:16,330
- Hello, Bertie. - Hello David.

517
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:19,500
- How did you come out. - Not at all.

518
00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:23,900
You waiting long?

519
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,000
Christ, it's bloody freezing.

520
00:39:29,020 --> 00:39:30,720
Where've you been?

521
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:33,960
- I've Been busy. - So was I.

522
00:39:36,260 --> 00:39:37,540
Elizabeth has pneumonia.

523
00:39:37,540 --> 00:39:40,140
I'm sorry. She'll recover.

524
00:39:41,180 --> 00:39:42,090
Father won't.

525
00:39:45,290 --> 00:39:46,270
I'll drive.

526
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,800
Old bugger's doing this on purpose.

527
00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:53,780
Dying?

528
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:56,490
Departing prematurely...

529
00:39:57,450 --> 00:39:59,000
to complicate matters with Wallis.

530
00:40:00,910 --> 00:40:04,170
For heaven's sake, David. You know how long he's been ill.

531
00:40:04,170 --> 00:40:05,540
Wallis explained.

532
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,100
She's terribly clever about these things.

533
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,040
Whereas by letters patent under the Great Seal,

534
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,170
bearing date of Westminster, the eleventh June, 1912

535
00:40:17,170 --> 00:40:19,770
His Majesty King George the Fifth did constitute...

536
00:40:19,770 --> 00:40:23,350
- order and declare that there should be a guardian, -What's going on here.

537
00:40:23,350 --> 00:40:27,470
- Custos Regni... - I cannot follow you. I'm confused that and...

538
00:40:27,470 --> 00:40:29,450
- in the form of council of state. - I don't understand what you are talking about...

539
00:40:29,450 --> 00:40:31,490
It's the order of the Council for the State, Sir.

540
00:40:33,220 --> 00:40:35,710
So we may act on your behalf...

541
00:40:35,710 --> 00:40:37,550
talk clearer to me, I'm afraid...

542
00:40:42,250 --> 00:40:44,930
- I'm so confused but... - Approved.

543
00:40:44,930 --> 00:40:45,670
Thank you.

544
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:56,500
Give me your hand, sir.

545
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:05,530
Thank you.

546
00:41:11,420 --> 00:41:12,480
Feeling a little better, Sir?

547
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,080
No. I'm not feeling any better. I feel dreadful.

548
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
No, no, George.

549
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:40,100
Yes, yes, he's alright, of course.

550
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,400
I know, darling, a talk, even a lovely long talk,

551
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,090
is a poor substitute for holding tight and making drowsy.

552
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,960
Nor making our own drowsies either,

553
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,380
as we've had to do far too often lately.

554
00:41:51,380 --> 00:41:52,690
David, dinner?

555
00:41:52,690 --> 00:41:53,930
I'm on with Wallis!

556
00:41:54,540 --> 00:41:59,990
Bertie. No. No, it's not important.

557
00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:04,630
I don't want to! No!

558
00:42:05,380 --> 00:42:06,630
I'll phone you later.

559
00:42:07,810 --> 00:42:09,040
Bye, bye.

560
00:42:12,030 --> 00:42:13,150
Wallis misses me terribly.

561
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,440
Mama says you're late for dinner.

562
00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:23,290
She forgets

563
00:42:23,290 --> 00:42:25,690
Papa's bloody clocks were always half an hour fast.

564
00:42:41,530 --> 00:42:44,680
How is the King? I hope he is not in pain.

565
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,570
No, no, sir. His Majesty is quieter now.

566
00:42:49,580 --> 00:42:50,400
Thank you.

567
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,450
David, if your father were here,

568
00:42:57,450 --> 00:42:59,210
tardiness would not be tolerated.

569
00:43:01,940 --> 00:43:04,450
None of this unpleasantness would be tolerated.

570
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,770
You know sir, I appreciate that

571
00:43:08,770 --> 00:43:11,210
you are different from your father

572
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,240
both in outlook and temperament.

573
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,590
I want you to know that...

574
00:43:18,590 --> 00:43:20,800
whenever the King questioned your conduct,

575
00:43:21,100 --> 00:43:23,950
I tried in your interest,

576
00:43:23,950 --> 00:43:27,520
to present it in a most favourable light.

577
00:43:28,450 --> 00:43:32,100
I can always trust you to have my best interests at heart.

578
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,340
I fear, our vigil will not be of long duration.

579
00:43:49,340 --> 00:43:50,650
Please continue.

580
00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:07,320
We commend our brother George...

581
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,690
to the mercy of God, our Maker and Redeemer.

582
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:25,390
Long live the King.

583
00:44:38,810 --> 00:44:41,610
I hope, I will make good as he has made good.

584
00:45:17,630 --> 00:45:18,820
What on earth was that?

585
00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:22,900
Poor Wallis. Now I'm trapped!

586
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,100
Time for a Shake, dad?

587
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,030
You sure?

588
00:46:02,070 --> 00:46:03,350
Go on.

589
00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:13,990
Put your thinking caps on.

590
00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:18,470
Bet its the Scottish Play.

591
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,840
No, I bet it's Othello. It's always Othello.

592
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,350
Are thou afeard.

593
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,680
Be not afeard.

594
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:36,510
Caliban!

595
00:46:36,510 --> 00:46:40,510
Oh! For heaven's sake... that was a lucky guess!

596
00:46:40,510 --> 00:46:42,910
Don't listen to egghead. Go on, Dad.

597
00:46:43,820 --> 00:46:47,070
The isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs,

598
00:46:47,070 --> 00:46:48,680
that give delight, and hurt not.

599
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,020
Sometimes a thousand twanging instruments...

600
00:46:52,020 --> 00:46:53,440
will hum about mine ears,

601
00:46:53,470 --> 00:46:55,640
and sometimes voices, that, if then...

602
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,200
I had waked after long sleep will make me sleep again.

603
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,900
Alright, clever clogs, what comes next?

604
00:47:01,930 --> 00:47:06,800
And then, in dreaming, the clouds methought would open,

605
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,220
and show riches ready to drop upon me...

606
00:47:09,220 --> 00:47:11,660
that when I'm awaked, I cried to dream again.

607
00:47:11,710 --> 00:47:13,510
It's such a sad thought.

608
00:47:15,860 --> 00:47:17,680
My next patient must be early.

609
00:47:17,730 --> 00:47:19,830
You better go lads, I'm sorry.

610
00:47:20,830 --> 00:47:22,830
Won't be a moment, Clifford.

611
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:27,600
Bertie!

612
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,210
They told me not to expect you.

613
00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:36,390
I am sorry about your father.

614
00:47:37,700 --> 00:47:39,640
I don't wish to intrude.

615
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,300
Oh no... Please come in.

616
00:47:53,050 --> 00:47:56,650
I've been practising. One hour a day. In spite of everything.

617
00:47:58,670 --> 00:47:59,870
What's going on there?

618
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:05,280
I was, sorry, mucking around with my kids.

619
00:48:08,590 --> 00:48:10,740
Do you feel like working today?

620
00:48:15,950 --> 00:48:17,110
A Curtis bi-plane.

621
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,060
I'll put on some hot milk.

622
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,370
Logue, I'd kill for something stronger.

623
00:48:29,250 --> 00:48:31,400
I wasn't there for my father's death.

624
00:48:31,930 --> 00:48:33,500
Still makes me sad.

625
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:35,300
I can imagine so.

626
00:48:37,630 --> 00:48:38,710
What did you father do?

627
00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,300
He was a brewer.

628
00:48:41,230 --> 00:48:42,330
At least there was free beer.

629
00:48:43,990 --> 00:48:46,390
Here's to the memory of your father.

630
00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:55,310
I was informed, after the fact...

631
00:48:55,310 --> 00:48:59,710
that my father's last words were,

632
00:49:01,590 --> 00:49:06,610
Bertie has more guts than the rest of his brothers put together.

633
00:49:10,970 --> 00:49:13,170
He couldn't say that to my face.

634
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,030
My brother.

635
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,710
What about him?

636
00:49:25,620 --> 00:49:26,820
Try singing it.

637
00:49:28,180 --> 00:49:29,140
I'm sorry.

638
00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:30,690
What songs do you know?

639
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:32,400
Songs?

640
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:33,440
Yes, songs.

641
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:34,640
"Swanee River"?

642
00:49:34,690 --> 00:49:35,730
I love that song.

643
00:49:35,780 --> 00:49:37,190
Happens to be my favorite.

644
00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:38,340
Sing me the chorus.

645
00:49:38,340 --> 00:49:40,300
No. Certainly not.

646
00:49:44,570 --> 00:49:46,350
Always wanted to build models.

647
00:49:49,030 --> 00:49:50,810
Father... father wouldn't allow it.

648
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:57,190
He collected stamps. So we had to collect stamps.

649
00:49:58,330 --> 00:50:00,960
You can finish that off. If you sing.

650
00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:06,240
My brother David. Dum, dum, dum-dum...

651
00:50:07,430 --> 00:50:09,070
I'm not going to sit here, wobbling.

652
00:50:09,070 --> 00:50:10,420
You can with me.

653
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:12,660
Because you're peculiar.

654
00:50:12,660 --> 00:50:14,310
I take that as a compliment.

655
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,570
Rules are rules.

656
00:50:24,970 --> 00:50:29,080
I'm not crooning "Swanee River".

657
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,170
"Camptown Races" then.

658
00:50:30,220 --> 00:50:32,870
My brother David, he said to me, doo-dah

659
00:50:32,870 --> 00:50:36,870
doo-dah... Continuous sound will give you flow.

660
00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:51,070
Does it feel strange, now that David's on the throne?

661
00:50:52,370 --> 00:50:53,490
To tell the truth,

662
00:50:53,740 --> 00:50:54,910
it was a relief...

663
00:50:55,560 --> 00:51:00,660
knowing I wouldn't be... King.

664
00:51:01,370 --> 00:51:05,720
But unless he produces an heir, you're next in line.

665
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,610
And your daughter, Elizabeth, would then succeed you.

666
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,500
You're barking up the wrong tree now, Doctor, Doctor.

667
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,270
Lionel See? You didn'stammer.

668
00:51:19,570 --> 00:51:22,190
Of course I didn't stammer, I was singing!

669
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,250
Well, as a little reward,

670
00:51:26,250 --> 00:51:29,150
you get to put some glue on these struts.

671
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,330
Your boy, won't mind?

672
00:51:36,330 --> 00:51:37,240
No, not at all.

673
00:51:41,500 --> 00:51:44,500
David and I were very close.

674
00:51:45,830 --> 00:51:48,420
Young bucks... You know.

675
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,950
Did you chase the same girls?

676
00:51:56,310 --> 00:52:01,690
David was always very helpful in arranging introductions.

677
00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:10,660
We shared the expert ministrations of Paulette in Paris.

678
00:52:16,870 --> 00:52:19,020
Not at the same time of course.

679
00:52:23,220 --> 00:52:24,820
Did David ever tease you?

680
00:52:24,820 --> 00:52:28,030
Yes, they all did. Buh-buh-buh-Bertie?

681
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,270
Father encouraged it.

682
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,050
Said,"Get it out, boy!" Said it would make me stop.

683
00:52:36,050 --> 00:52:39,300
Said that "I sas afraid of my father,

684
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:43,960
and my children are damn well going to be afraid of me."

685
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,110
Are you naturally right handed?

686
00:52:51,180 --> 00:52:57,870
Left. I was... punished. Now I use the right.

687
00:52:57,870 --> 00:53:00,480
Yes, that's very common with stammerers.

688
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,930
Anything other corrections?

689
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,040
Knock knees.

690
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,450
Metal splints were made. Worn... worn day and night.

691
00:53:17,180 --> 00:53:19,940
- That must have been painful. - Bloody agony.

692
00:53:21,230 --> 00:53:22,290
Straight legs now.

693
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,310
Who were you closest to in your family?

694
00:53:28,390 --> 00:53:31,000
Nannies. Not my first nanny.

695
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,090
She loved David... hated me.

696
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,400
When we are presented to my...

697
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,440
parents for the daily viewing,

698
00:53:44,610 --> 00:53:45,950
she'd pinch me..

699
00:53:45,950 --> 00:53:50,220
I'd cry and be handed back to her immediately.

700
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:56,110
And then she would...

701
00:53:59,130 --> 00:54:00,470
Sing it.

702
00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:08,310
"Then she wouldn't feed me. Far far away."

703
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,500
Took my parents... three years to notice.

704
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:24,060
As you can imagine, it caused some stomach problems. Still.

705
00:54:29,220 --> 00:54:31,420
What about your brother, Johnny?

706
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,980
Were you close to him?

707
00:54:35,900 --> 00:54:36,780
Johnny.

708
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:39,400
Sweet boy.

709
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,000
Had...

710
00:54:48,660 --> 00:54:49,910
epilepsy.

711
00:54:51,850 --> 00:54:55,310
And he was... different.

712
00:54:58,390 --> 00:55:01,040
He died at... 13.

713
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,210
hidden from view.

714
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,970
I'm... I'm told it's not... catching.

715
00:55:15,410 --> 00:55:16,900
Do you want a top-up?

716
00:55:18,500 --> 00:55:19,490
Please.

717
00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:25,730
You know...

718
00:55:26,990 --> 00:55:28,300
Lionel, you're...

719
00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:31,350
you're the first ordinary Englishman...

720
00:55:31,350 --> 00:55:32,200
Australian.

721
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:36,200
I've ever really spoken to.

722
00:55:37,990 --> 00:55:41,830
When I'm... driven through the streets and see the,

723
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,350
you know, the common man staring at me,

724
00:55:47,350 --> 00:55:49,530
I'm struck by how little I know of his life,

725
00:55:49,530 --> 00:55:52,500
and how little he knows of mine.

726
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:53,600
Thank you.

727
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,160
What're friends for.

728
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,940
I wouldn't know.

729
00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:13,620
I sifted seven... thick-stalked thistles trough a strong, thick sieve.

730
00:56:13,620 --> 00:56:16,400
I sifted seven thick-stalked...

731
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:17,800
That's enough now, darling.

732
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,500
I have to keep doing this, it's awful.

733
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,400
I sifted seven... thick-stalked... - Oh, no.

734
00:56:26,670 --> 00:56:30,020
One hundred year old spruces... removed to improve the view!

735
00:56:31,350 --> 00:56:32,560
Who does she think she is!

736
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,900
Nonetheless... we must try to be pleasant towards Mrs Simpson.

737
00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:38,670
You know she calls me the Fat Scottish Cook?

738
00:56:38,670 --> 00:56:39,770
You're not fat.

739
00:56:40,780 --> 00:56:42,280
I'm getting plump.

740
00:56:43,730 --> 00:56:45,130
You seldom cook.

741
00:56:47,550 --> 00:56:49,530
I sifted seven... - Shut up!

742
00:56:49,530 --> 00:56:51,800
trough a strong... thick sieves...

743
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:53,800
I sifted seven...

744
00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:03,410
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of York.

745
00:57:03,500 --> 00:57:05,450
How lovely to see you both.

746
00:57:08,030 --> 00:57:10,900
Welcome to our little country shack.

747
00:57:12,330 --> 00:57:14,730
I came at the invitation of the King.

748
00:57:19,450 --> 00:57:20,510
Your Majesty.

749
00:57:22,900 --> 00:57:24,710
- You all right? - Sorry we're late.

750
00:57:24,710 --> 00:57:26,380
Very nice to see you.

751
00:57:27,700 --> 00:57:28,900
Mrs. Simpson.

752
00:57:32,740 --> 00:57:33,640
Very nice.

753
00:57:39,430 --> 00:57:40,260
Hello David.

754
00:57:41,710 --> 00:57:44,910
Making some... changes to the garden, I see.

755
00:57:44,910 --> 00:57:47,810
Yes, I am not quite finished yet.

756
00:57:52,340 --> 00:57:54,570
Don't tell me I behaved badly, Mr Churchill.

757
00:57:54,570 --> 00:57:58,250
On the contrary, your Royal Highness. Etiquette decrees

758
00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:00,320
royalty must be greeted by the official host,

759
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,260
in this case, the King. Not a commoner.

760
00:58:03,990 --> 00:58:05,160
Thank you.

761
00:58:07,900 --> 00:58:09,600
What is her hold on him?

762
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,080
I have no idea.

763
00:58:13,990 --> 00:58:16,900
Apparently she has certain skills...

764
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,600
acquired in an establishment in Shanghai.

765
00:58:23,710 --> 00:58:24,490
David.

766
00:58:26,890 --> 00:58:29,000
Just be a sec, darling. Would you excuse me?

767
00:58:39,860 --> 00:58:42,260
David, I've been trying to see you...

768
00:58:42,980 --> 00:58:44,030
I've been terribly busy.

769
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:45,500
Doing what?

770
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,020
- Kinging. - Really?

771
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,130
Kinging... is a precarious business these days.

772
00:58:54,130 --> 00:58:57,020
Where is the Russian Tsar? Where is Cousin Wilhelm?

773
00:58:57,020 --> 00:58:58,620
You're being dreary.

774
00:58:58,890 --> 00:59:03,180
Is Kinging laying off 80... staff

775
00:59:03,210 --> 00:59:04,460
and buying more pearls for Wallis

776
00:59:04,460 --> 00:59:06,210
while people are marching across

777
00:59:06,210 --> 00:59:08,270
Stop your worrying. Herr Hitler will sort them out.

778
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:09,920
And who'll sort out Herr Hitler?

779
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,510
Where's the bloody '23?

780
00:59:12,420 --> 00:59:14,620
And you've put that woman into our mother's suite?

781
00:59:14,620 --> 00:59:16,470
Mother's not still in the bed, is she?

782
00:59:16,470 --> 00:59:17,700
That's not funny.

783
00:59:17,700 --> 00:59:20,300
Here it is. Wallis likes the very best.

784
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,440
I don't care what woman you carry on with at night,

785
00:59:23,470 --> 00:59:26,420
as long as you show up for duty in the morning!

786
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,830
Wallis is not just some woman I am carrying on with.

787
00:59:29,830 --> 00:59:31,300
We intend to marry.

788
00:59:33,150 --> 00:59:34,310
Excuse me?

789
00:59:34,350 --> 00:59:36,700
She's filing a petition for divorce.

790
00:59:37,670 --> 00:59:38,790
Good God.

791
00:59:40,580 --> 00:59:43,520
Can't you just give her a nice house and a title?

792
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:44,940
I'm not having her as my mistress.

793
00:59:44,990 --> 00:59:46,500
The Church doesn't recognize divorce,

794
00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:49,180
and you are the... head of the Church.

795
00:59:49,180 --> 00:59:50,440
Haven't I any rights?

796
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,670
Many privileges...

797
00:59:51,710 --> 00:59:53,010
Not the same thing.

798
00:59:53,970 --> 00:59:55,790
Your beloved common man may marry for love,

799
00:59:55,790 --> 00:59:56,800
why not me?

800
00:59:57,100 --> 00:59:59,380
If you were... a common man,

801
00:59:59,380 --> 01:00:02,600
on what basis could you... possibly claim to be King?

802
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,370
Sounds like you've studied our wretched Constitution.

803
01:00:04,420 --> 01:00:05,260
Sounds like you haven't.

804
01:00:05,310 --> 01:00:06,850
That's what this is about.

805
01:00:06,850 --> 01:00:11,370
Brushing up. Hence, the elocution lessons?

806
01:00:11,370 --> 01:00:12,700
That's the scoop around town.

807
01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:14,240
I'm trying to...

808
01:00:18,670 --> 01:00:21,820
Yearning for a larger audience are we, B-B-B-B-Bertie?

809
01:00:24,070 --> 01:00:25,000
Don't...

810
01:00:27,230 --> 01:00:28,300
What's that?

811
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,000
I'm sorry, I...

812
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,520
Younger brother trying to push older brother off the throne..

813
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,350
P-P-P-P-Positively medieval.

814
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:39,400
Wallis.

815
01:00:40,300 --> 01:00:43,700
Ah. Where have you been all this time?

816
01:00:44,130 --> 01:00:46,100
- Who have you been talking to? - Never you mind.

817
01:00:48,460 --> 01:00:53,700
What a very complicated little King you are.

818
01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:54,700
I try to be.

819
01:00:56,580 --> 01:00:59,550
All that work... down the drain.

820
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:02,940
My own brother...

821
01:01:02,940 --> 01:01:05,800
I couldn't say a single word to him in reply.

822
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,690
Why do you stammer so much more with David than you ever do with me?

823
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,850
Because you're bloody well paid to listen!

824
01:01:11,850 --> 01:01:13,690
Bertie, I'm not a geisha girl.

825
01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:15,750
Stop trying to be so bloody clever!

826
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,000
What is it about David that stops you speaking?

827
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,110
What is it about you that bloody well makes...

828
01:01:21,110 --> 01:01:23,320
you want to go on about him, the whole bloody time.

829
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,020
Vulgar but fluent. You don't stammer when you swear.

830
01:01:27,020 --> 01:01:27,820
Bugger off!

831
01:01:28,250 --> 01:01:29,520
Is that the best you can do?

832
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:35,160
Well, bloody bugger to you, you beastly bastard.

833
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,420
A public school prig can do better than that.

834
01:01:39,540 --> 01:01:40,440
Shit!

835
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:42,400
Shit, shit, shit.

836
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:45,400
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

837
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,000
Shit! Shit! - Yes!

838
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,810
See how defecation flows trippingly from the tongue?

839
01:01:49,860 --> 01:01:50,840
Because I'm angry!

840
01:01:50,890 --> 01:01:53,000
You Know the f-word?

841
01:01:55,450 --> 01:01:56,200
Fornication?

842
01:01:56,250 --> 01:01:57,350
Oh Bertie.

843
01:01:58,100 --> 01:01:58,900
Fuck.

844
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:02,060
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking fuck!

845
01:02:02,060 --> 01:02:03,320
Fuck, fuck and bugger!

846
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,010
Bugger, bugger, buggedy, buggedy.

847
01:02:05,010 --> 01:02:06,570
Buggedy, fuck, fuck, ass

848
01:02:06,740 --> 01:02:09,700
- Yes! You see! Not a hesitation! - Balls, balls, fuckety shit, shit,

849
01:02:09,700 --> 01:02:12,570
Willy, shit and fuck! And tits.

850
01:02:12,620 --> 01:02:15,480
Dad? What's going on?

851
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,870
Sorry. Finish your homework

852
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,800
Well...That's a side of you we don't get to see that often.

853
01:02:22,500 --> 01:02:27,000
No. No we're not supposed to really, not publicly.

854
01:02:27,620 --> 01:02:28,560
Let's get some air.

855
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,200
No, Logue, I don't think that's a good idea.

856
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,700
What's the matter? What's got you so upset?

857
01:02:38,010 --> 01:02:40,560
Logue, you have no idea.

858
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:49,710
My brother is infatuated with a woman who's been married twice.

859
01:02:50,290 --> 01:02:54,160
She's asking for a divorce and David is determined to marry her.

860
01:02:55,350 --> 01:02:59,880
Mrs. Wallis Simpson of Baltimore.

861
01:03:01,180 --> 01:03:03,070
That's not right. Queen Wallis of Baltimore?

862
01:03:03,070 --> 01:03:04,040
Unthinkable.

863
01:03:05,740 --> 01:03:06,770
Can he do that?

864
01:03:06,820 --> 01:03:10,500
Absolutely not. But he's going to anyway.

865
01:03:10,500 --> 01:03:12,260
All hell's broken loose.

866
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,480
Can't they carry on privately?

867
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:16,870
If only they would.

868
01:03:18,910 --> 01:03:20,510
Where does that leave you?

869
01:03:23,050 --> 01:03:24,450
I know my place.

870
01:03:26,850 --> 01:03:28,000
I'll do anything...

871
01:03:28,900 --> 01:03:31,800
in my power to keep my brother on the throne.

872
01:03:33,260 --> 01:03:34,560
Is it that serious?

873
01:03:36,570 --> 01:03:38,000
Your place may well be on the throne.

874
01:03:38,050 --> 01:03:39,820
I am not an alternative to my brother.

875
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:41,390
You can outshine David.

876
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,090
Don't take liberties!

877
01:03:44,290 --> 01:03:45,370
That's bordering on treason.

878
01:03:45,420 --> 01:03:47,340
I'm just saying you could be King. You could do it!

879
01:03:47,700 --> 01:03:48,790
That is treason!

880
01:03:48,790 --> 01:03:49,800
I'm trying to get you to realise...

881
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,190
- you need not be governed by fear. - I've had enough of this!

882
01:03:53,980 --> 01:03:54,940
What're you so afraid of?

883
01:03:54,990 --> 01:03:56,030
Your poisonous words!

884
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:57,680
Why'd you come to me?

885
01:03:57,730 --> 01:03:59,440
You are not some middle class bugger,

886
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,780
who needs elocution lessons so you can chit-chat...

887
01:04:01,830 --> 01:04:04,680
Don't instruct me on my duties!

888
01:04:04,710 --> 01:04:07,990
I'm the son of a.... King.

889
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:10,570
The brother of a king.

890
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,090
You're the disappointing son of a brewer!

891
01:04:15,190 --> 01:04:17,700
A jumped-up jackeroo from the outback!

892
01:04:18,950 --> 01:04:20,250
You're nobody.

893
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,800
These sessions are over!

894
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,860
It's not because she's an American. That is the least of it.

895
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:14,300
It's because she is a soon to be a twice divorced American,

896
01:05:15,330 --> 01:05:18,820
And the King, as head of The Church of England...

897
01:05:18,820 --> 01:05:21,700
can not marry a divorced woman.

898
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,940
And Sir, I apologize for the nature of this.

899
01:05:28,100 --> 01:05:29,800
According to Scotland Yard,

900
01:05:30,870 --> 01:05:41,820
the King has not always possess exclusive rights to Mrs. Simpson's favours and affections,

901
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,620
sharing them with a married used car salesman,

902
01:05:45,620 --> 01:05:47,800
a certain Mr Guy Trundle.

903
01:05:50,170 --> 01:05:52,680
In addition, it is also rumoured...

904
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,450
Hitler's ambassador, Count von Ribbentrop,

905
01:05:56,450 --> 01:05:59,400
sends her 17 carnations every day.

906
01:06:00,770 --> 01:06:04,220
Should His Majesty continue to ignore the advice of His Government,

907
01:06:04,700 --> 01:06:06,320
he must abdicate.

908
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:10,000
Otherwise His Government has no choice but to resign.

909
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,010
Prime Minister,

910
01:06:11,010 --> 01:06:16,690
you'd leave the country without a... a government?

911
01:06:18,190 --> 01:06:20,340
Does the King do what he wants,

912
01:06:21,590 --> 01:06:24,540
or does he do what his people expect him to do?

913
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,520
What's the matter, love?

914
01:06:33,900 --> 01:06:36,120
I'm Just having trouble with a patient.

915
01:06:38,430 --> 01:06:42,300
That isn't like you.. Why?

916
01:06:44,110 --> 01:06:45,560
He's scared...

917
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:47,900
H's afraid of his own shadow.

918
01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:50,920
Isn't that why they come to you?

919
01:06:53,770 --> 01:06:56,280
This fellow could be really somebody great,

920
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:57,700
and he's fighting me.

921
01:06:59,170 --> 01:07:01,620
Perhaps, he doesn't want to be great.

922
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,450
Perhaps that's what you want.

923
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,980
I might have overstepped the mark.

924
01:07:14,500 --> 01:07:15,740
Apologize,

925
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,230
do you both good.

926
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,430
I'm very sorry, Mr Logue, the Duke is busy.

927
01:07:33,350 --> 01:07:36,200
I'm happy to wait. Or I could come back later.

928
01:07:37,330 --> 01:07:39,730
As I said, the Duke is terribly busy.

929
01:07:48,730 --> 01:07:50,020
Thank you.

930
01:08:03,830 --> 01:08:07,030
The parliament will not support their marriage.

931
01:08:09,450 --> 01:08:11,260
But there were other reasons for concern.

932
01:08:12,310 --> 01:08:13,760
He was careless with state papers.

933
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,320
He lacked commitment and resolve.

934
01:08:15,370 --> 01:08:17,060
There were those that worried

935
01:08:17,060 --> 01:08:19,970
where he would stand when war comes with Germany .

936
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:24,450
We're not coming to that?

937
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:26,410
Indeed we are, Sir.

938
01:08:26,900 --> 01:08:29,010
Prime Minister Baldwin may deny this,

939
01:08:29,010 --> 01:08:31,500
but Hitler's intent is crystal clear.

940
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,290
War with Germany will come,

941
01:08:35,010 --> 01:08:39,000
and we will need a King behind whom we can all stand behind, united.

942
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:44,150
I fear my... brother is not of...

943
01:08:44,150 --> 01:08:47,520
sound mind, at this time.

944
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,850
Have you thought what you will call yourself?

945
01:08:58,490 --> 01:09:01,860
Certainly not Albert, Sir. Too Germanic.

946
01:09:10,090 --> 01:09:11,290
What about George?

947
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,540
After your father?

948
01:09:15,300 --> 01:09:16,620
George the sixth.

949
01:09:16,990 --> 01:09:20,050
It has rather a nice continuity to it,

950
01:09:20,050 --> 01:09:21,180
don't you think?

951
01:09:25,330 --> 01:09:26,780
David! Thank God.

952
01:09:28,570 --> 01:09:29,700
You look exhausted!

953
01:09:33,230 --> 01:09:34,800
How are you bearing up?

954
01:09:35,470 --> 01:09:37,400
Bertie. The decision's been made, I...

955
01:09:38,450 --> 01:09:39,700
I am going.

956
01:09:41,500 --> 01:09:42,340
I cannot accept that.

957
01:09:42,340 --> 01:09:43,890
You are in no condition to make that decision.

958
01:09:43,940 --> 01:09:44,820
I'm afraid there's no other way.

959
01:09:46,700 --> 01:09:48,300
I must marry her.

960
01:09:51,100 --> 01:09:53,590
My mind's made up. I'm... sorry.

961
01:09:57,580 --> 01:09:59,300
That's a terrible thing to hear.

962
01:10:03,150 --> 01:10:06,000
David, nobody wants that. I least of all.

963
01:10:12,860 --> 01:10:18,600
"At long last I am able to say, a few words of my own.

964
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,090
I have never wanted to withhold anything,

965
01:10:23,700 --> 01:10:24,900
but until now,

966
01:10:25,300 --> 01:10:28,200
it has not been constitutionally possible for me to speak.

967
01:10:29,580 --> 01:10:33,380
A few hours ago I discharged my last duty...

968
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,400
as King and Emperor.

969
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:43,460
And now that I have been succeeded by my brother, the Duke of York

970
01:10:44,570 --> 01:10:47,730
my first words must be to declare my allegiance to him.

971
01:10:48,900 --> 01:10:51,400
This I do with all my heart.

972
01:10:54,860 --> 01:10:56,270
You all know the reasons

973
01:10:56,270 --> 01:10:58,960
which have impelled me to renounce the throne.

974
01:10:59,990 --> 01:11:02,540
But you must believe me, when I tell you

975
01:11:04,190 --> 01:11:06,340
I have found it impossible to carry the

976
01:11:06,340 --> 01:11:10,040
heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties..

977
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,860
as King as I would wish to do...

978
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,610
without the help and support of the woman I love.

979
01:11:19,770 --> 01:11:21,070
And I want you to know.

980
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:25,310
This decision has been made less difficult to me...

981
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,880
by the sure knowledge that my brother,

982
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,400
with his long training in the public affairs of this country...

983
01:11:33,990 --> 01:11:35,930
and with his fine qualities...

984
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,990
will be able to take my place forth with...

985
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,590
without interruption or injury...

986
01:11:44,020 --> 01:11:47,740
to the life and progress of the empire."

987
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,030
I meet you at today...

988
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,300
in circumstances which are...

989
01:13:32,990 --> 01:13:34,240
I'm sure you will love it.

990
01:13:34,950 --> 01:13:37,070
Thank you darling, saddles, Margret.

991
01:13:37,460 --> 01:13:38,840
- Yes mom. - Good boy.

992
01:13:48,340 --> 01:13:50,300
Mama, will we have space for our horses in our new home?

993
01:13:50,350 --> 01:13:52,700
Of course we will, darling, we'll have a palace of rooms.

994
01:14:02,930 --> 01:14:03,940
Curtsey.

995
01:14:06,330 --> 01:14:07,620
Your Majesty.

996
01:14:25,060 --> 01:14:26,580
How was it?

997
01:14:37,940 --> 01:14:45,750
I'm trying to familiarise myself with what a state paper looks like.

998
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:54,830
A despatch from Mr Baldwin which I don't understand a word of.

999
01:14:58,410 --> 01:14:59,860
David's finances.

1000
01:15:05,350 --> 01:15:08,730
The Christmas... broadcast.

1001
01:15:10,370 --> 01:15:11,930
I think that might be a mistake.

1002
01:15:11,930 --> 01:15:12,930
Don't worry about that.

1003
01:15:24,490 --> 01:15:26,020
Plans for the Coronation

1004
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,670
I think that's an even bigger mistake.

1005
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:34,780
I'm not a King.

1006
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,760
I'm a naval officer. That's all I know.

1007
01:15:44,990 --> 01:15:46,430
I'm not here. I'm not a King.

1008
01:15:48,210 --> 01:15:49,390
I'm sorry.

1009
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:51,980
I'm sorry.

1010
01:15:51,980 --> 01:15:53,270
Please, please.

1011
01:15:57,330 --> 01:16:00,770
Oh, dear. Dear, dear man.

1012
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:05,280
You know...

1013
01:16:05,900 --> 01:16:09,930
I refused your first two marriage proposals,

1014
01:16:09,930 --> 01:16:12,120
not because I didn't love you,

1015
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,600
but because I couldn't bear the idea of a Royal life.

1016
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:20,020
Couldn't bear the idea of a life of tours and public duties,

1017
01:16:20,620 --> 01:16:24,240
a life that no longer was really to be my own.

1018
01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:26,740
But then I thought...

1019
01:16:27,630 --> 01:16:29,460
he stammers so beautifully...

1020
01:16:29,500 --> 01:16:31,250
they'll leave us alone.

1021
01:16:57,580 --> 01:17:02,150
Waiting for a king to apologize, one can wait rather a long wait.

1022
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,410
I'm afraid we're slightly late.

1023
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,540
This is home.

1024
01:17:14,250 --> 01:17:15,280
Myrtle's at bridge.

1025
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:16,700
I've made sure the boys are out.

1026
01:17:17,190 --> 01:17:18,180
It's lovely.

1027
01:17:19,250 --> 01:17:20,750
Absolutely lovely.

1028
01:17:21,630 --> 01:17:22,630
May I sit down?

1029
01:17:22,930 --> 01:17:23,890
Yes, of course.

1030
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:32,820
Would you like some tea, Ma'am?

1031
01:17:32,870 --> 01:17:34,500
Yes. I'll help myself.

1032
01:17:34,950 --> 01:17:35,930
Off you go...

1033
01:17:35,930 --> 01:17:38,060
Or must I knock your heads together?

1034
01:17:39,700 --> 01:17:41,370
Here's your shilling,

1035
01:17:52,540 --> 01:17:53,920
I... I understand...

1036
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:57,000
what you were trying to say, Logue.

1037
01:17:58,440 --> 01:17:59,900
I went about it the wrong way.

1038
01:18:01,590 --> 01:18:02,690
I'm sorry.

1039
01:18:05,430 --> 01:18:06,410
So, here I am.

1040
01:18:06,460 --> 01:18:08,660
Is the nation ready for two...

1041
01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:11,980
minutes of radio silence?

1042
01:18:11,980 --> 01:18:15,380
Every stammerer always fears they will fall back to square one.

1043
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:17,440
I don't let that happen.

1044
01:18:17,490 --> 01:18:20,160
If I fail in my duty...

1045
01:18:21,630 --> 01:18:22,710
David could come back.

1046
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:24,460
I've seen the placard.

1047
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,500
"God save our... King."

1048
01:18:29,780 --> 01:18:31,010
They don't mean me.

1049
01:18:33,330 --> 01:18:35,810
Every other monarch in history

1050
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:42,600
succeeded someone who was dead, or just about to be.

1051
01:18:45,650 --> 01:18:50,630
My predecessor is not only alive, but very much so.

1052
01:18:55,340 --> 01:18:56,890
What a bloody mess!

1053
01:18:58,460 --> 01:19:00,530
I can't even give them a Christmas Speech.

1054
01:19:00,580 --> 01:19:02,230
Like your Dad used to do?

1055
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:03,620
Precisely.

1056
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:05,900
He's not here anymore.

1057
01:19:09,020 --> 01:19:11,820
Yes he is. He's on that shilling I gave you.

1058
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,130
Easy enough to give away.

1059
01:19:15,890 --> 01:19:18,030
You don't have to carry him around in your pocket.

1060
01:19:18,970 --> 01:19:20,470
Or your brother.

1061
01:19:21,700 --> 01:19:23,420
You don't need to be afraid of

1062
01:19:23,420 --> 01:19:26,400
the things as you were afraid of when you were five.

1063
01:19:32,500 --> 01:19:35,000
You're very much your own man, Bertie.

1064
01:19:36,510 --> 01:19:37,430
Am I?

1065
01:19:42,340 --> 01:19:44,000
Your face is next, mate.

1066
01:19:44,050 --> 01:19:45,400
Lionel?

1067
01:19:46,380 --> 01:19:47,580
Myrtle!

1068
01:19:47,670 --> 01:19:50,030
- Is it alright? - Yes.

1069
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,630
Bertie, come here.

1070
01:19:54,750 --> 01:19:57,160
- Are you alright, Logue? - Yes.

1071
01:19:59,930 --> 01:20:02,980
- Shall we go through? - Trust me. It's important.

1072
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:05,660
What is it?

1073
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,350
- Your... Your... - It's your Majesty? The first time.

1074
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:14,350
After that, it's Ma'am. As in Ham, not Malm as in Palm.

1075
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,930
I haven't told her about us.

1076
01:20:17,930 --> 01:20:19,080
Sit down, relax.

1077
01:20:20,020 --> 01:20:24,050
I'm told your husband calls my husband Bertie

1078
01:20:24,630 --> 01:20:27,090
and my husband calls your husband Lionel.

1079
01:20:27,140 --> 01:20:29,240
I trust you won't call me Liz.

1080
01:20:29,830 --> 01:20:33,090
Your Majesty, you may call me Mrs Logue, Ma'am.

1081
01:20:33,930 --> 01:20:36,180
Very nice to meet you, Mrs Logue.

1082
01:20:38,050 --> 01:20:39,520
Logue, we can't stand here all day.

1083
01:20:39,570 --> 01:20:42,520
Yes we can. Look, I need to wait for the right moment.

1084
01:20:42,570 --> 01:20:44,040
Logue, you're being a coward!

1085
01:20:44,440 --> 01:20:45,720
You're damn right.

1086
01:20:47,210 --> 01:20:48,450
Get out there, man!

1087
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,500
Hello, Myrtle darling!

1088
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:54,960
You're early.

1089
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,230
I believe you two have met!

1090
01:20:57,230 --> 01:20:58,870
But I didn't think, you know...

1091
01:21:00,530 --> 01:21:02,000
King George the Sixth.

1092
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:03,760
It's very nice to meet you.

1093
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,650
Will their Majesties be staying to dinner?

1094
01:21:12,420 --> 01:21:15,650
We would love to, such a treat, but alas...

1095
01:21:16,260 --> 01:21:18,660
a previous engagement. What a pitty.

1096
01:21:34,310 --> 01:21:37,380
- Archbishop. - Welcome, your Majesty.

1097
01:21:38,650 --> 01:21:41,230
What a glorious tranformation, Sir.

1098
01:21:41,860 --> 01:21:45,260
I hope you'll forgive us if we continue our preparations.

1099
01:21:46,250 --> 01:21:51,760
And now you will allow me to guide you through the ceremony.

1100
01:21:56,180 --> 01:22:00,730
We begin of course at the West door, then into the nave.

1101
01:22:02,810 --> 01:22:03,880
I see you all your

1102
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,660
pronouncements are to be broadcast, Archbishop.

1103
01:22:07,110 --> 01:22:11,960
Ah, yes, wireless is indeed a Pandora's Box.

1104
01:22:12,590 --> 01:22:16,280
I'm afraid I also have to permit the newsreel cameras.

1105
01:22:16,530 --> 01:22:19,800
The product of which I shall personally edit.

1106
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,490
Without momentary hesitation.

1107
01:22:23,170 --> 01:22:27,410
This is Doctor Logue of Harley Street.

1108
01:22:27,410 --> 01:22:29,530
He's my speech therapist.

1109
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:32,640
- Your Grace. - Had I known

1110
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,890
that Your Majesty was seeking assistance

1111
01:22:34,940 --> 01:22:37,490
I should've made my own recommendation.

1112
01:22:38,060 --> 01:22:40,200
Dr. Logue...

1113
01:22:40,870 --> 01:22:43,120
will be attending the Coronation.

1114
01:22:43,380 --> 01:22:45,880
Well of course I shall speak with the Dean,

1115
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:47,680
but it was extremely difficult.

1116
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:55,250
I should like the Doctor to be seated in the King's Box.

1117
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,780
But members of your Family will be seated there, Sir.

1118
01:22:59,830 --> 01:23:01,730
That is why it's suitable.

1119
01:23:03,950 --> 01:23:05,040
And now, if you don't mind Your Grace,

1120
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:05,940
we need the premises.

1121
01:23:05,990 --> 01:23:08,520
My dear fellow, this is Westminster Abbey!

1122
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:10,680
The Church must prepare his Majesty.

1123
01:23:10,820 --> 01:23:13,520
My preparations are equalized in important

1124
01:23:18,070 --> 01:23:20,720
With complete privacy, if you don't mind.

1125
01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:24,700
Those are my wishes, Your Grace.

1126
01:23:25,990 --> 01:23:29,650
I shall place the Abbey at Your majesty's disposal...

1127
01:23:29,650 --> 01:23:32,980
this evening. Your Majesty.

1128
01:24:04,350 --> 01:24:05,480
I can't believe I'm walking on...

1129
01:24:05,480 --> 01:24:07,840
Chaucer and Handel and Dickens.

1130
01:24:11,550 --> 01:24:13,470
Everything alright? Let's get cracking.

1131
01:24:15,530 --> 01:24:19,040
I'm not here to rehearse, Doctor Logue.

1132
01:24:22,210 --> 01:24:23,710
Call me Lionel.

1133
01:24:25,150 --> 01:24:31,130
True, you... never... called yourself "Doctor".

1134
01:24:31,210 --> 01:24:35,570
I did that... for you.

1135
01:24:39,450 --> 01:24:47,940
No training, no... diploma, no... qualifications.

1136
01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:52,350
Just a... great deal of nerve.

1137
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,060
The star chamber inquisition, is it?

1138
01:24:56,110 --> 01:25:01,520
You asked trust. And... total equality.

1139
01:25:02,510 --> 01:25:04,430
Bertie, I heard you at Wembley.

1140
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:05,630
I was there.

1141
01:25:07,070 --> 01:25:08,370
My son Laurie said dad,

1142
01:25:08,370 --> 01:25:09,980
do you think you could help that poor man?

1143
01:25:09,980 --> 01:25:12,180
What, as a failed actor!?

1144
01:25:12,380 --> 01:25:15,290
It's true, I'm not a doctor,

1145
01:25:15,290 --> 01:25:18,000
and yes I acted a bit,

1146
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:23,230
Well I recited in pubs and taught elocution in schools.

1147
01:25:23,650 --> 01:25:25,350
When the Great War came,

1148
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,780
all our Soldiers were returning straight from the front,

1149
01:25:27,830 --> 01:25:29,320
a lot of them shell-shocked,

1150
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:30,580
unable to speak

1151
01:25:31,630 --> 01:25:34,020
somebody said, Lionel, you're very good at all this speech stuff.

1152
01:25:34,070 --> 01:25:36,820
Do you think you can possibly help these poor buggers?

1153
01:25:38,110 --> 01:25:40,940
I did muscle therapy, exercise, relaxation,

1154
01:25:40,940 --> 01:25:42,780
but I knew I had to go deeper.

1155
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,000
These poor young blokes had cried out in fear,

1156
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,110
no-one was listening to them.

1157
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,750
My job was to give them faith in their own voice

1158
01:25:54,710 --> 01:25:57,560
and let them know that a friend was listening.

1159
01:25:59,220 --> 01:26:01,970
That must ring a few bells with you, Bertie.

1160
01:26:06,650 --> 01:26:08,980
You give a very noble account of yourself.

1161
01:26:09,030 --> 01:26:11,130
Make inquiries. It's all true.

1162
01:26:11,270 --> 01:26:12,760
Inquiries have been made!

1163
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,800
You have no idea who I have breathing down my neck?

1164
01:26:17,670 --> 01:26:19,060
I vouched for you

1165
01:26:19,060 --> 01:26:23,730
and you have no... credentials.

1166
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:25,850
But lots of success!

1167
01:26:25,850 --> 01:26:27,360
I can't show you certificate...

1168
01:26:27,900 --> 01:26:29,140
there was no training then.

1169
01:26:29,140 --> 01:26:31,020
Everything I know I know from experience,

1170
01:26:31,070 --> 01:26:34,550
and that war... was some experience.

1171
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,480
My plaque says, "L.Logue, Speech Defects."

1172
01:26:39,530 --> 01:26:42,230
No Dr., there are no letters after my name.

1173
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:48,790
Lock me in the Tower.

1174
01:26:48,790 --> 01:26:49,950
I would if I could!

1175
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,850
- On what charge? - Fraud!

1176
01:26:52,590 --> 01:26:53,720
With war looming,

1177
01:26:53,730 --> 01:26:56,990
you've saddled this nation with a voiceless King.

1178
01:26:57,780 --> 01:27:00,340
You destroyed the happiness of my family.

1179
01:27:00,340 --> 01:27:02,770
All for the sake of ensnaring a star...

1180
01:27:03,530 --> 01:27:07,240
patient you couldn't possibly hope to assist!

1181
01:27:08,860 --> 01:27:13,900
It'll be like mad... King George the Third,

1182
01:27:15,650 --> 01:27:21,430
there'll be mad King George the stammerer...

1183
01:27:24,430 --> 01:27:28,290
who let his people down so badly in their hour of need!

1184
01:27:28,950 --> 01:27:29,850
What're you doing?

1185
01:27:29,850 --> 01:27:31,480
Get up! You can't sit there! Get up!

1186
01:27:31,530 --> 01:27:32,740
Why not? It's a chair.

1187
01:27:32,790 --> 01:27:36,100
No, that's not a chair, that is... that is...

1188
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:38,040
That is Saint Edward's Chair!

1189
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:39,700
People have carved their names on it.

1190
01:27:39,750 --> 01:27:42,380
That chair is the seat on which every King and Queen.

1191
01:27:42,430 --> 01:27:44,280
It's held in a place by a large rock!

1192
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:45,610
That's the Stone of Scone yard,

1193
01:27:45,660 --> 01:27:47,990
- you are trivialising everything. - You believe such bollocks.

1194
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:48,880
You're trivialising everything!

1195
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:49,690
I don't care how many royal...

1196
01:27:49,740 --> 01:27:51,550
- Listen to me. Listen to me! - arse have sat in this chair.

1197
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,560
- Listen to me! - Listen to you? By what right?

1198
01:27:53,610 --> 01:27:55,570
By the divine right, if you must! I'm your King!!!

1199
01:27:55,620 --> 01:27:57,250
No you're not! You told me so yourself.

1200
01:27:57,250 --> 01:27:58,420
You said you didn't want it.

1201
01:27:58,470 --> 01:27:59,820
Why should I waste my time listening to you?

1202
01:27:59,820 --> 01:28:00,960
Because I have a right to be heard!

1203
01:28:01,010 --> 01:28:03,410
- Heard as what? - I HAVE A VOICE!

1204
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:09,860
Yes you do.

1205
01:28:19,780 --> 01:28:21,440
You have such a perservance,

1206
01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:23,680
Bertie, you're the bravest man I know.

1207
01:28:24,060 --> 01:28:26,410
And you'll make a bloody good king.

1208
01:28:33,710 --> 01:28:35,600
What on earth's going on, Sir?

1209
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:37,200
It's quite alright, Archbishop.

1210
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:39,280
Mr Logue, you must know

1211
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,500
that I found a replacement English specialist

1212
01:28:41,550 --> 01:28:43,860
with impeccable credentials.

1213
01:28:43,860 --> 01:28:46,570
Hence, your services will no longer be required.

1214
01:28:46,770 --> 01:28:47,760
I'm sorry?

1215
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,450
Your Majesty's function is to consult and be advised.

1216
01:28:50,500 --> 01:28:54,120
And you didn't consult, but you've just been advised.

1217
01:28:55,830 --> 01:28:58,020
Now I advise you:

1218
01:28:58,020 --> 01:29:02,700
In this personal matter I will make my own decision.

1219
01:29:03,380 --> 01:29:07,840
My concern is for the head upon which I must place the crown.

1220
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:12,890
I appreciate that Archbshop, but it's my head!

1221
01:29:15,290 --> 01:29:16,890
Your humble servant.

1222
01:29:24,330 --> 01:29:25,830
Thank you Bertie.

1223
01:29:28,260 --> 01:29:31,010
Shall we rehearse? Come on upon your purge.

1224
01:29:39,150 --> 01:29:42,440
Now when you and Elizabeth enter through the West door,

1225
01:29:42,490 --> 01:29:46,340
you'll be greeted by the hymn "I was glad when they said onto me"

1226
01:29:46,740 --> 01:29:48,340
Actually you won't be that glad,

1227
01:29:48,340 --> 01:29:50,340
because they sing it for a very long time.

1228
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:53,110
Then your friend

1229
01:29:53,110 --> 01:29:56,310
the Archbishop will ponce up the stairs toward you

1230
01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:01,810
and say "Sir, is Your Majesty willing to take The oath"

1231
01:30:02,810 --> 01:30:05,410
- "I am willing" - Course you are!

1232
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:08,030
I'm gonna see what it sounds like in the cheap seats

1233
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,280
so even your old nanny can hear.

1234
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:15,510
"Will you govern your peoples of Great Britain, Ireland, Canada,

1235
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:21,010
Australia and New Zealand according to their lands and customs"

1236
01:30:22,810 --> 01:30:23,810
"I solemnly promise so do so."

1237
01:30:24,010 --> 01:30:25,610
Louder! I can't hear you up the back.

1238
01:30:25,710 --> 01:30:28,620
"I solemnly promise so do so."

1239
01:30:28,620 --> 01:30:30,220
Very good!

1240
01:30:30,220 --> 01:30:33,630
"Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy,

1241
01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,860
to be executed in all your judgements?"

1242
01:30:37,260 --> 01:30:38,880
"I will." "I WILL!"

1243
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,610
Then there's a very long bit about upholding the faith,

1244
01:30:41,610 --> 01:30:45,310
goes on, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish. To which you finally say...

1245
01:30:45,430 --> 01:30:50,000
"The things which I have... here before promised,

1246
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,500
I will perform and keep."

1247
01:30:53,900 --> 01:30:55,290
So help me God

1248
01:30:55,770 --> 01:30:58,470
And that's all you'll say. Four short responses,

1249
01:30:58,470 --> 01:31:01,420
kiss the book and sign the oath and you're King.

1250
01:31:02,910 --> 01:31:03,760
Easy.

1251
01:31:17,140 --> 01:31:19,890
You nearly crowned him backwards Archbishop!

1252
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:25,230
Someone had removed the thread marking the back of the Crown, Sir.

1253
01:31:25,790 --> 01:31:28,190
Try not lose the thread, Archbishop.

1254
01:31:28,950 --> 01:31:31,100
Archbishop, we're missing Papa.

1255
01:31:35,700 --> 01:31:39,000
Very good, very good. Archbishop.

1256
01:31:40,540 --> 01:31:43,570
Well, I hope Your Majesties are thrilled with the result.

1257
01:31:43,620 --> 01:31:46,800
You could switch that machine off now.

1258
01:31:47,090 --> 01:31:48,890
No, wait, keep going.

1259
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:51,490
Do have a seat, Archbishop.

1260
01:32:10,860 --> 01:32:14,290
Papa? Papa, what's he saying?

1261
01:32:14,410 --> 01:32:17,730
I don't know, but he seems to be saying it rather well.

1262
01:32:37,950 --> 01:32:41,220
Sir, I have asked to see you today...

1263
01:32:41,220 --> 01:32:46,220
in order to tender my resignation as Prime Minister.

1264
01:32:48,480 --> 01:32:51,030
I am so sorry to hear that, Mr Baldwin.

1265
01:32:51,750 --> 01:32:55,150
Neville Chamberlain will take my place as Prime Minister.

1266
01:32:55,550 --> 01:32:58,760
It's a matter of principal. I was mistaken.

1267
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:02,840
I have found it impossible to believe...

1268
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:06,370
that there is any man in the world...

1269
01:33:07,310 --> 01:33:11,320
so lacking in moral feeling as Hitler,

1270
01:33:12,930 --> 01:33:15,700
but the world may be hurled for...

1271
01:33:15,700 --> 01:33:19,730
a second time into the abyss of destructive War.

1272
01:33:22,030 --> 01:33:24,430
Churchill was right all along.

1273
01:33:24,930 --> 01:33:27,230
This was always Hitler's intention.

1274
01:33:28,770 --> 01:33:32,730
I am many very sorry to leave you in this great time of crisis.

1275
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,330
I am very much afraid Sir,

1276
01:33:38,330 --> 01:33:41,750
that your greatest test is yet to come.

1277
01:33:47,310 --> 01:33:51,500
I am speaking to you from the cabinet room...

1278
01:33:51,500 --> 01:33:53,210
at 10 Downing Street.

1279
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:58,420
This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin...

1280
01:33:59,170 --> 01:34:02,500
handed the German Government a final note...

1281
01:34:03,670 --> 01:34:08,330
stating that unless we heard from them by 11 oclock,

1282
01:34:09,100 --> 01:34:10,640
that they were prepared at once...

1283
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:13,650
to withdraw their troops from Poland,

1284
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:17,600
a state of war would exist between us.

1285
01:34:19,380 --> 01:34:21,020
I have to tell you now

1286
01:34:21,020 --> 01:34:24,210
that no such undertaking has been received,

1287
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:30,490
and that consequently, this country is at war with Germany.

1288
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:38,960
At last Sir, here is your speech.

1289
01:34:40,060 --> 01:34:41,670
You are on air at six.

1290
01:34:42,210 --> 01:34:46,800
I've timed it at just under nine minutes.

1291
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,240
The wording is fully approved.

1292
01:34:49,450 --> 01:34:52,220
The Prime Minister will be joining you for the broadcast

1293
01:34:52,270 --> 01:34:54,640
which will go out live across the Nation,

1294
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,660
the Empire and to our Armed Forces.

1295
01:34:56,710 --> 01:34:58,360
Get Logue here immediately.

1296
01:35:13,670 --> 01:35:15,600
- There's the barrage balloons. - Yes.

1297
01:35:17,620 --> 01:35:19,990
- They got them up there quickly. - Yeah.

1298
01:35:33,010 --> 01:35:35,020
Should we pull over and find shelter?

1299
01:35:35,020 --> 01:35:36,970
No, go straight on. We'll be alright

1300
01:35:46,750 --> 01:35:48,500
- Yes. Sir? - Lionel Logue.

1301
01:35:48,590 --> 01:35:51,470
Major Hartley's expecting me. This is my son Laury.

1302
01:35:59,610 --> 01:36:01,290
- Thank you, Laurie. - Good luck, Dad.

1303
01:36:08,380 --> 01:36:09,540
- The King's Speech. - Thank you, Sir.

1304
01:36:09,590 --> 01:36:11,890
We have about forty minutes to the broadcast.

1305
01:36:14,710 --> 01:36:17,030
Thank you very much. Thank you.

1306
01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:23,370
"there may be dark days ahead, and..."

1307
01:36:24,290 --> 01:36:25,790
Try again.

1308
01:36:29,530 --> 01:36:33,590
"there may be dark days ahead, and..."

1309
01:36:35,190 --> 01:36:36,730
Turn the hesitations into pauses...

1310
01:36:36,730 --> 01:36:38,540
and say to yourself, "God save the King."

1311
01:36:38,590 --> 01:36:42,090
I say that continuously, but apparently no one's listening.

1312
01:36:42,250 --> 01:36:45,560
Long pauses are good. They add solemnity to great occasions.

1313
01:36:45,610 --> 01:36:48,460
Then I'm the solemnest king who ever lived.

1314
01:36:49,170 --> 01:36:52,890
You know, if I am to be King, where is my power?

1315
01:36:53,100 --> 01:36:56,340
Can I... Can I reform a government?

1316
01:36:56,340 --> 01:37:00,960
Can I... Can I... levy a tax? Declare a war? No.

1317
01:37:01,090 --> 01:37:03,260
Yet I am the seat of all authority. Why?

1318
01:37:03,310 --> 01:37:08,960
Because the Nation believes that when I... I speak, I speak for them.

1319
01:37:09,010 --> 01:37:10,560
But I cannot speak!

1320
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:13,870
Let's take it all again from the top.

1321
01:37:13,870 --> 01:37:15,800
"In this grave hour"

1322
01:37:27,500 --> 01:37:31,470
In this grave hour... Fuck, fuck, fuck.

1323
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:34,780
perhaps the most fateful in our history... Bugger, shit, shit.

1324
01:37:34,830 --> 01:37:38,480
I send to every household of my...

1325
01:37:40,670 --> 01:37:43,620
You see, "P" is always difficult, even when I'm singing.

1326
01:37:43,670 --> 01:37:45,700
Bounce on to it. "A peoples."

1327
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,560
- Not people. - A people.

1328
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:53,380
Household of my peoples both at home...

1329
01:37:53,380 --> 01:37:55,590
- and overseas. - Beautiful.

1330
01:37:56,260 --> 01:37:58,520
this message, doo-dah day.

1331
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:01,390
spoken with the same depth of feeling. Doo-dah day...

1332
01:38:01,440 --> 01:38:05,390
for each one of you as if I were able to... Shit, fuck, bugger!

1333
01:38:05,440 --> 01:38:08,450
cross your threshold and speak to you...

1334
01:38:10,330 --> 01:38:12,340
In your head, now. "I have a right to be bloody well heard."

1335
01:38:12,390 --> 01:38:16,090
Bloody well heard, bloody well heard, bloody well heard myself!

1336
01:38:16,510 --> 01:38:19,090
Now, waltz. Move. Get continuous movement.

1337
01:38:19,140 --> 01:38:24,830
For the second time in the lives of most of us we are at...

1338
01:38:25,470 --> 01:38:28,550
- "We are," Take a pause. - Lionel, I can't do this.

1339
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:30,640
Bertie, you can do it.

1340
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:36,260
- Have a look at the last paragraph. - Bertie, it's time.

1341
01:38:49,950 --> 01:38:52,300
- Archbishop. - Your Majesty.

1342
01:38:53,420 --> 01:38:55,090
A great moment, Sir.

1343
01:38:59,570 --> 01:39:01,770
- Prime Minister. - Your Majesty.

1344
01:39:03,690 --> 01:39:08,150
Nice to see you... again so soon.

1345
01:39:13,570 --> 01:39:14,840
Good of you to be here.

1346
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:19,430
I'm sure you've had rather a busy day.

1347
01:39:19,990 --> 01:39:21,410
Let's hope we have no more

1348
01:39:21,410 --> 01:39:23,810
interruptions from those damned sirens, Sir.

1349
01:39:23,860 --> 01:39:25,990
Or the wretched dogs.

1350
01:39:27,230 --> 01:39:31,400
Congrat... Congratulations. First Lord of the Admiralty.

1351
01:39:31,700 --> 01:39:32,430
Your Majesty.

1352
01:39:36,420 --> 01:39:39,460
The long... walk.

1353
01:39:42,250 --> 01:39:43,750
Good luck, Sir.

1354
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,040
I, too, dread this apparatus.

1355
01:39:49,750 --> 01:39:51,670
Had a speech impediment myself, you know.

1356
01:39:53,150 --> 01:39:56,190
- I didn't. - Family secret. Tongue-tied.

1357
01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,620
An operation was considered to be too dangerous.

1358
01:39:59,670 --> 01:40:03,220
I eventually made an asset of it.

1359
01:40:06,390 --> 01:40:08,540
- Thank you, Mr Churchill. - Sir.

1360
01:40:09,420 --> 01:40:10,770
Darling.

1361
01:40:10,890 --> 01:40:11,900
How long, Logue?

1362
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:13,990
Just under three minutes, Sir.

1363
01:40:44,650 --> 01:40:47,050
- Mr Wood. - Good luck, Your Majesty.

1364
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:51,100
Mr Wood.

1365
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:53,700
You'll be decorated, Logue.

1366
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:55,160
I made it cosy.

1367
01:40:57,410 --> 01:40:58,700
Some fresh air.

1368
01:40:59,900 --> 01:41:01,910
There you are, Darling.

1369
01:41:05,430 --> 01:41:07,240
I'm thistle sifter, I've a sieve

1370
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:10,180
of sifted thistles and a sieve on unsifted thistles.

1371
01:41:10,230 --> 01:41:11,910
I've a sieve of sifted thistles

1372
01:41:11,910 --> 01:41:14,510
and a sieve on unsifted thistles, because I'm...

1373
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:17,560
Bertie, darling, make sure it's not switched on!

1374
01:41:18,410 --> 01:41:19,860
Remember the red light will blink four times

1375
01:41:19,860 --> 01:41:22,090
and then I've asked them to turn it off,

1376
01:41:22,140 --> 01:41:23,660
because we don't want that

1377
01:41:23,660 --> 01:41:25,400
evil eye staring at you all the way through.

1378
01:41:26,690 --> 01:41:28,190
One minute, sir.

1379
01:41:30,780 --> 01:41:32,930
I am sure you will be splendid.

1380
01:41:44,630 --> 01:41:46,480
Fourty seconds, Sir.

1381
01:41:49,270 --> 01:41:53,150
Logue, however this turns out,

1382
01:41:55,480 --> 01:41:58,580
I don't know how to thank you for what you've done.

1383
01:42:01,730 --> 01:42:03,230
Knighthood?

1384
01:42:07,950 --> 01:42:09,450
Twenty seconds.

1385
01:42:15,550 --> 01:42:20,220
Forget everything else and just say it to me.

1386
01:42:20,220 --> 01:42:22,910
Say it to me, as a friend.

1387
01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:09,050
In this grave hour,

1388
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:21,220
perhaps the most fateful in our history,

1389
01:43:24,470 --> 01:43:32,880
I send to every household of my peoples,

1390
01:43:36,550 --> 01:43:37,830
both at home...

1391
01:43:42,740 --> 01:43:43,940
and overseas,

1392
01:43:54,330 --> 01:43:55,830
this message...

1393
01:43:57,500 --> 01:44:01,440
spoken with the same depth of feeling...

1394
01:44:02,700 --> 01:44:04,250
for each one of you...

1395
01:44:05,140 --> 01:44:09,160
as if I were able to cross your threshold...

1396
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:13,810
and speak to you myself.

1397
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:22,140
For the second time in the lives of most of us,

1398
01:44:23,130 --> 01:44:27,670
we are at... at war.

1399
01:44:32,170 --> 01:44:36,140
Over and over again,

1400
01:44:37,620 --> 01:44:40,460
we have tried to find...

1401
01:44:43,100 --> 01:44:51,130
a peaceful way out of the differences between ourselves...

1402
01:44:52,550 --> 01:45:00,180
and those who are now our enemies.

1403
01:45:02,220 --> 01:45:05,410
But it has been in vain.

1404
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:11,000
We have been forced into a conflict.

1405
01:45:12,370 --> 01:45:17,040
For we are called, to meet the challenge of a principle

1406
01:45:18,420 --> 01:45:20,680
which, if it were to prevail,

1407
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:25,000
would be fatal to any civilized order...

1408
01:45:26,430 --> 01:45:27,680
in the world.

1409
01:45:29,110 --> 01:45:30,870
Such a principle,

1410
01:45:32,190 --> 01:45:36,200
stripped of all disguise,

1411
01:45:37,650 --> 01:45:40,240
is surely the mere...

1412
01:45:44,130 --> 01:45:50,130
primitive doctrine that might is right.

1413
01:45:52,130 --> 01:45:56,890
For the sake of all that we ourselves hold dear,

1414
01:45:58,020 --> 01:46:08,100
it is unthinkable that we should refuse to meet the challenge.

1415
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:18,270
It is to this high purpose that I now call...

1416
01:46:18,990 --> 01:46:26,100
my people at home and my peoples across the seas,

1417
01:46:26,850 --> 01:46:31,470
who will make our cause their own.

1418
01:46:32,220 --> 01:46:38,010
I ask them to stand calm and firm,

1419
01:46:39,110 --> 01:46:43,020
and united in this time of trial.

1420
01:46:44,150 --> 01:46:46,450
The task will be hard.

1421
01:46:47,890 --> 01:46:51,440
There may be dark days ahead,

1422
01:46:51,980 --> 01:46:59,250
and war can no longer be confined to the battlefield.

1423
01:47:00,180 --> 01:47:04,940
But we can only do the right as we see the right...

1424
01:47:06,010 --> 01:47:13,950
and reverently commit our cause to God.

1425
01:47:16,380 --> 01:47:23,950
If one and all we keep resolutely faithful to it,

1426
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:29,150
then, with God's help,

1427
01:47:31,150 --> 01:47:34,760
we shall prevail.

1428
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:51,700
Very good, Bertie.

1429
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:09,060
You still stammered on the "w"?

1430
01:48:10,430 --> 01:48:13,810
Had to throw in a few so they knew it was me.

1431
01:48:19,150 --> 01:48:22,200
Congratulations, your Majesty. A true broadcaster.

1432
01:48:22,250 --> 01:48:23,800
Thank you, Mr Wood.

1433
01:48:26,940 --> 01:48:29,040
Congratulations, your Majesty.

1434
01:48:29,970 --> 01:48:32,770
- Congratulations, your Majesty. - Thank you.

1435
01:48:43,700 --> 01:48:45,200
Ready.

1436
01:48:46,090 --> 01:48:47,590
- Good? - Perfect.

1437
01:48:49,330 --> 01:48:53,860
Your first war time speech. Congratulations.

1438
01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:59,210
Expect I shall have to do a great deal more.

1439
01:49:03,390 --> 01:49:04,890
Thank you, Logue.

1440
01:49:14,390 --> 01:49:17,830
Well done, my friend.

1441
01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:23,810
Thank you, Your Majesty.

1442
01:49:36,820 --> 01:49:38,470
I knew you'd be good.

1443
01:49:47,830 --> 01:49:50,470
Thank you, Lionel.

1444
01:49:54,150 --> 01:49:55,650
Onwards?

1445
01:49:56,500 --> 01:49:58,370
Congratulations, Sir.

1446
01:49:59,790 --> 01:50:01,810
Almost did it better than myself, Sir.

1447
01:50:01,860 --> 01:50:04,600
Your Majesty, I'm speechless.

1448
01:50:04,990 --> 01:50:06,670
Congratulations, Sir.

1449
01:50:06,860 --> 01:50:07,970
Gentlemen.

1450
01:50:08,770 --> 01:50:10,440
Congratulations, your Majesty.

1451
01:50:10,490 --> 01:50:12,260
So how was Papa, Elizabeth?

1452
01:50:14,590 --> 01:50:17,970
Halting at first, but you got much better Papa.

1453
01:50:18,540 --> 01:50:19,640
Bless you.

1454
01:50:20,770 --> 01:50:24,460
- And how about you, Margaret? - You were just splendid, Papa.

1455
01:50:24,510 --> 01:50:25,930
Of course I was.

1456
01:50:27,980 --> 01:50:29,480
We all ready?

1457
01:50:30,210 --> 01:50:31,710
Come on girls.
