- 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
- 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,400
- Been, Uh, ice skating? Ice skating?
- 549
- 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
- No, no, George.
- 550
- 00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:40,100
- Yes, yes, he's alright, of course.
- 551
- 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,400
- I know, darling, a talk,
- even a lovely long talk,
- 552
- 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,090
- is a poor substitute for
- holding tight and making drowsy.
- 553
- 00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,960
- Nor making our own drowsies either,
- 554
- 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,380
- as we've had to do far too often lately.
- 555
- 00:41:51,380 --> 00:41:52,690
- David, dinner?
- 556
- 00:41:52,690 --> 00:41:53,930
- I'm on with Wallis!
- 557
- 00:41:54,540 --> 00:41:59,990
- Bertie. No. No, it's not important.
- 558
- 00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:04,630
- I don't want to! No!
- 559
- 00:42:05,380 --> 00:42:06,630
- I'll phone you later.
- 560
- 00:42:07,810 --> 00:42:09,040
- Bye, bye.
- 561
- 00:42:12,030 --> 00:42:13,150
- Wallis misses me terribly.
- 562
- 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,440
- Mama says you're late for dinner.
- 563
- 00:42:22,540 --> 00:42:23,290
- She forgets
- 564
- 00:42:23,290 --> 00:42:25,690
- Papa's bloody clocks were
- always half an hour fast.
- 565
- 00:42:41,530 --> 00:42:44,680
- How is the King? I
- hope he is not in pain.
- 566
- 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,570
- No, no, sir. His Majesty is quieter now.
- 567
- 00:42:49,580 --> 00:42:50,400
- Thank you.
- 568
- 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,450
- David, if your father were here,
- 569
- 00:42:57,450 --> 00:42:59,210
- tardiness would not be tolerated.
- 570
- 00:43:01,940 --> 00:43:04,450
- None of this unpleasantness
- would be tolerated.
- 571
- 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,770
- You know sir, I appreciate that
- 572
- 00:43:08,770 --> 00:43:11,210
- you are different from your father
- 573
- 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,240
- both in outlook and temperament.
- 574
- 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,590
- I want you to know that...
- 575
- 00:43:18,590 --> 00:43:20,800
- whenever the King
- questioned your conduct,
- 576
- 00:43:21,100 --> 00:43:23,950
- I tried in your interest,
- 577
- 00:43:23,950 --> 00:43:27,520
- to present it in a
- most favourable light.
- 578
- 00:43:28,450 --> 00:43:32,100
- I can always trust you to have
- my best interests at heart.
- 579
- 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,340
- I fear, our vigil will
- not be of long duration.
- 580
- 00:43:49,340 --> 00:43:50,650
- Please continue.
- 581
- 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:07,320
- We commend our brother George...
- 582
- 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,690
- to the mercy of God,
- our Maker and Redeemer.
- 583
- 00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:25,390
- Long live the King.
- 584
- 00:44:38,810 --> 00:44:41,610
- I hope, I will make
- good as he has made good.
- 585
- 00:45:17,630 --> 00:45:18,820
- What on earth was that?
- 586
- 00:45:18,870 --> 00:45:22,900
- Poor Wallis. Now I'm trapped!
- 587
- 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,100
- Time for a Shake, dad?
- 588
- 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,030
- You sure?
- 589
- 00:46:02,070 --> 00:46:03,350
- Go on.
- 590
- 00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:13,990
- Put your thinking caps on.
- 591
- 00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:18,470
- Bet its the Scottish Play.
- 592
- 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,840
- No, I bet it's Othello.
- It's always Othello.
- 593
- 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,350
- Are thou afeard.
- 594
- 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,680
- Be not afeard.
- 595
- 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:36,510
- Caliban!
- 596
- 00:46:36,510 --> 00:46:40,510
- Oh! For heaven's sake...
- that was a lucky guess!
- 597
- 00:46:40,510 --> 00:46:42,910
- Don't listen to egghead. Go on, Dad.
- 598
- 00:46:43,820 --> 00:46:47,070
- The isle is full of noises,
- sounds and sweet airs,
- 599
- 00:46:47,070 --> 00:46:48,680
- that give delight, and hurt not.
- 600
- 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,020
- Sometimes a thousand
- twanging instruments...
- 601
- 00:46:52,020 --> 00:46:53,440
- will hum about mine ears,
- 602
- 00:46:53,470 --> 00:46:55,640
- and sometimes voices, that, if then...
- 603
- 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,200
- I had waked after long sleep
- will make me sleep again.
- 604
- 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,900
- Alright, clever clogs, what comes next?
- 605
- 00:47:01,930 --> 00:47:06,800
- And then, in dreaming, the
- clouds methought would open,
- 606
- 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,220
- and show riches ready to drop upon me...
- 607
- 00:47:09,220 --> 00:47:11,660
- that when I'm awaked,
- I cried to dream again.
- 608
- 00:47:11,710 --> 00:47:13,510
- It's such a sad thought.
- 609
- 00:47:15,860 --> 00:47:17,680
- My next patient must be early.
- 610
- 00:47:17,730 --> 00:47:19,830
- You better go lads, I'm sorry.
- 611
- 00:47:20,830 --> 00:47:22,830
- Won't be a moment, Clifford.
- 612
- 00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:27,600
- Bertie!
- 613
- 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,210
- They told me not to expect you.
- 614
- 00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:36,390
- I am sorry about your father.
- 615
- 00:47:37,700 --> 00:47:39,640
- I don't wish to intrude.
- 616
- 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,300
- Oh no... Please come in.
- 617
- 00:47:53,050 --> 00:47:56,650
- I've been practising. One hour
- a day. In spite of everything.
- 618
- 00:47:58,670 --> 00:47:59,870
- What's going on there?
- 619
- 00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:05,280
- I was, sorry, mucking
- around with my kids.
- 620
- 00:48:08,590 --> 00:48:10,740
- Do you feel like working today?
- 621
- 00:48:15,950 --> 00:48:17,110
- A Curtis bi-plane.
- 622
- 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,060
- I'll put on some hot milk.
- 623
- 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,370
- Logue, I'd kill for something stronger.
- 624
- 00:48:29,250 --> 00:48:31,400
- I wasn't there for my father's death.
- 625
- 00:48:31,930 --> 00:48:33,500
- Still makes me sad.
- 626
- 00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:35,300
- I can imagine so.
- 627
- 00:48:37,630 --> 00:48:38,710
- What did you father do?
- 628
- 00:48:39,260 --> 00:48:40,300
- He was a brewer.
- 629
- 00:48:41,230 --> 00:48:42,330
- At least there was free beer.
- 630
- 00:48:43,990 --> 00:48:46,390
- Here's to the memory of your father.
- 631
- 00:48:50,970 --> 00:48:55,310
- I was informed, after the fact...
- 632
- 00:48:55,310 --> 00:48:59,710
- that my father's last words were,
- 633
- 00:49:01,590 --> 00:49:06,610
- Bertie has more guts than the
- rest of his brothers put together.
- 634
- 00:49:10,970 --> 00:49:13,170
- He couldn't say that to my face.
- 635
- 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,030
- My brother.
- 636
- 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,710
- What about him?
- 637
- 00:49:25,620 --> 00:49:26,820
- Try singing it.
- 638
- 00:49:28,180 --> 00:49:29,140
- I'm sorry.
- 639
- 00:49:29,190 --> 00:49:30,690
- What songs do you know?
- 640
- 00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:32,400
- Songs?
- 641
- 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:33,440
- Yes, songs.
- 642
- 00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:34,640
- "Swanee River"?
- 643
- 00:49:34,690 --> 00:49:35,730
- I love that song.
- 644
- 00:49:35,780 --> 00:49:37,190
- Happens to be my favorite.
- 645
- 00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:38,340
- Sing me the chorus.
- 646
- 00:49:38,340 --> 00:49:40,300
- No. Certainly not.
- 647
- 00:49:44,570 --> 00:49:46,350
- Always wanted to build models.
- 648
- 00:49:49,030 --> 00:49:50,810
- Father... father wouldn't allow it.
- 649
- 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:57,190
- He collected stamps. So
- we had to collect stamps.
- 650
- 00:49:58,330 --> 00:50:00,960
- You can finish that off. If you sing.
- 651
- 00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:06,240
- My brother David. Dum, dum, dum-dum...
- 652
- 00:50:07,430 --> 00:50:09,070
- I'm not going to sit here, wobbling.
- 653
- 00:50:09,070 --> 00:50:10,420
- You can with me.
- 654
- 00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:12,660
- Because you're peculiar.
- 655
- 00:50:12,660 --> 00:50:14,310
- I take that as a compliment.
- 656
- 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,570
- Rules are rules.
- 657
- 00:50:24,970 --> 00:50:29,080
- I'm not crooning "Swanee River".
- 658
- 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,170
- "Camptown Races" then.
- 659
- 00:50:30,220 --> 00:50:32,870
- My brother David, he
- said to me, doo-dah
- 660
- 00:50:32,870 --> 00:50:36,870
- doo-dah... Continuous
- sound will give you flow.
- 661
- 00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:51,070
- Does it feel strange, now
- that David's on the throne?
- 662
- 00:50:52,370 --> 00:50:53,490
- To tell the truth,
- 663
- 00:50:53,740 --> 00:50:54,910
- it was a relief...
- 664
- 00:50:55,560 --> 00:51:00,660
- knowing I wouldn't be... King.
- 665
- 00:51:01,370 --> 00:51:05,720
- But unless he produces an
- heir, you're next in line.
- 666
- 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,610
- And your daughter, Elizabeth,
- would then succeed you.
- 667
- 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,500
- You're barking up the wrong
- tree now, Doctor, Doctor.
- 668
- 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,270
- Lionel See? You didn'stammer.
- 669
- 00:51:19,570 --> 00:51:22,190
- Of course I didn't
- stammer, I was singing!
- 670
- 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,250
- Well, as a little reward,
- 671
- 00:51:26,250 --> 00:51:29,150
- you get to put some
- glue on these struts.
- 672
- 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,330
- Your boy, won't mind?
- 673
- 00:51:36,330 --> 00:51:37,240
- No, not at all.
- 674
- 00:51:41,500 --> 00:51:44,500
- David and I were very close.
- 675
- 00:51:45,830 --> 00:51:48,420
- Young bucks... You know.
- 676
- 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,950
- Did you chase the same girls?
- 677
- 00:51:56,310 --> 00:52:01,690
- David was always very helpful
- in arranging introductions.
- 678
- 00:52:02,700 --> 00:52:10,660
- We shared the expert
- ministrations of Paulette in Paris.
- 679
- 00:52:16,870 --> 00:52:19,020
- Not at the same time of course.
- 680
- 00:52:23,220 --> 00:52:24,820
- Did David ever tease you?
- 681
- 00:52:24,820 --> 00:52:28,030
- Yes, they all did.
- Buh-buh-buh-Bertie?
- 682
- 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,270
- Father encouraged it.
- 683
- 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,050
- Said,"Get it out, boy!"
- Said it would make me stop.
- 684
- 00:52:36,050 --> 00:52:39,300
- Said that "I sas afraid of my father,
- 685
- 00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:43,960
- and my children are damn well
- going to be afraid of me."
- 686
- 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,110
- Are you naturally right handed?
- 687
- 00:52:51,180 --> 00:52:57,870
- Left. I was... punished.
- Now I use the right.
- 688
- 00:52:57,870 --> 00:53:00,480
- Yes, that's very common with stammerers.
- 689
- 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,930
- Anything other corrections?
- 690
- 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,040
- Knock knees.
- 691
- 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,450
- Metal splints were made.
- Worn... worn day and night.
- 692
- 00:53:17,180 --> 00:53:19,940
- - That must have been painful.
- - Bloody agony.
- 693
- 00:53:21,230 --> 00:53:22,290
- Straight legs now.
- 694
- 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,310
- Who were you closest to in your family?
- 695
- 00:53:28,390 --> 00:53:31,000
- Nannies. Not my first nanny.
- 696
- 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,090
- She loved David... hated me.
- 697
- 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,400
- When we are presented to my...
- 698
- 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,440
- parents for the daily viewing,
- 699
- 00:53:44,610 --> 00:53:45,950
- she'd pinch me..
- 700
- 00:53:45,950 --> 00:53:50,220
- I'd cry and be handed
- back to her immediately.
- 701
- 00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:56,110
- And then she would...
- 702
- 00:53:59,130 --> 00:54:00,470
- Sing it.
- 703
- 00:54:02,150 --> 00:54:08,310
- "Then she wouldn't
- feed me. Far far away."
- 704
- 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,500
- Took my parents...
- three years to notice.
- 705
- 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:24,060
- As you can imagine, it caused
- some stomach problems. Still.
- 706
- 00:54:29,220 --> 00:54:31,420
- What about your brother, Johnny?
- 707
- 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,980
- Were you close to him?
- 708
- 00:54:35,900 --> 00:54:36,780
- Johnny.
- 709
- 00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:39,400
- Sweet boy.
- 710
- 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,000
- Had...
- 711
- 00:54:48,660 --> 00:54:49,910
- epilepsy.
- 712
- 00:54:51,850 --> 00:54:55,310
- And he was... different.
- 713
- 00:54:58,390 --> 00:55:01,040
- He died at... 13.
- 714
- 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,210
- hidden from view.
- 715
- 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,970
- I'm... I'm told it's not... catching.
- 716
- 00:55:15,410 --> 00:55:16,900
- Do you want a top-up?
- 717
- 00:55:18,500 --> 00:55:19,490
- Please.
- 718
- 00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:25,730
- You know...
- 719
- 00:55:26,990 --> 00:55:28,300
- Lionel, you're...
- 720
- 00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:31,350
- you're the first ordinary Englishman...
- 721
- 00:55:31,350 --> 00:55:32,200
- Australian.
- 722
- 00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:36,200
- I've ever really spoken to.
- 723
- 00:55:37,990 --> 00:55:41,830
- When I'm... driven through
- the streets and see the,
- 724
- 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,350
- you know, the common man staring at me,
- 725
- 00:55:47,350 --> 00:55:49,530
- I'm struck by how little
- I know of his life,
- 726
- 00:55:49,530 --> 00:55:52,500
- and how little he knows of mine.
- 727
- 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:53,600
- Thank you.
- 728
- 00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,160
- What're friends for.
- 729
- 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:00,940
- I wouldn't know.
- 730
- 00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:13,620
- I sifted seven... thick-stalked
- thistles trough a strong, thick sieve.
- 731
- 00:56:13,620 --> 00:56:16,400
- I sifted seven thick-stalked...
- 732
- 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:17,800
- That's enough now, darling.
- 733
- 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,500
- I have to keep doing this, it's awful.
- 734
- 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,400
- I sifted seven...
- thick-stalked... - Oh, no.
- 735
- 00:56:26,670 --> 00:56:30,020
- One hundred year old spruces...
- removed to improve the view!
- 736
- 00:56:31,350 --> 00:56:32,560
- Who does she think she is!
- 737
- 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,900
- Nonetheless... we must try to
- be pleasant towards Mrs Simpson.
- 738
- 00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:38,670
- You know she calls me
- the Fat Scottish Cook?
- 739
- 00:56:38,670 --> 00:56:39,770
- You're not fat.
- 740
- 00:56:40,780 --> 00:56:42,280
- I'm getting plump.
- 741
- 00:56:43,730 --> 00:56:45,130
- You seldom cook.
- 742
- 00:56:47,550 --> 00:56:49,530
- I sifted seven...
- - Shut up!
- 743
- 00:56:49,530 --> 00:56:51,800
- trough a strong... thick sieves...
- 744
- 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:53,800
- I sifted seven...
- 745
- 00:56:59,700 --> 00:57:03,410
- Their Royal Highnesses the
- Duke and Duchess of York.
- 746
- 00:57:03,500 --> 00:57:05,450
- How lovely to see you both.
- 747
- 00:57:08,030 --> 00:57:10,900
- Welcome to our little country shack.
- 748
- 00:57:12,330 --> 00:57:14,730
- I came at the invitation of the King.
- 749
- 00:57:19,450 --> 00:57:20,510
- Your Majesty.
- 750
- 00:57:22,900 --> 00:57:24,710
- - You all right?
- - Sorry we're late.
- 751
- 00:57:24,710 --> 00:57:26,380
- Very nice to see you.
- 752
- 00:57:27,700 --> 00:57:28,900
- Mrs. Simpson.
- 753
- 00:57:32,740 --> 00:57:33,640
- Very nice.
- 754
- 00:57:39,430 --> 00:57:40,260
- Hello David.
- 755
- 00:57:41,710 --> 00:57:44,910
- Making some... changes
- to the garden, I see.
- 756
- 00:57:44,910 --> 00:57:47,810
- Yes, I am not quite finished yet.
- 757
- 00:57:52,340 --> 00:57:54,570
- Don't tell me I behaved
- badly, Mr Churchill.
- 758
- 00:57:54,570 --> 00:57:58,250
- On the contrary, your Royal
- Highness. Etiquette decrees
- 759
- 00:57:58,250 --> 00:58:00,320
- royalty must be greeted
- by the official host,
- 760
- 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,260
- in this case, the King. Not a commoner.
- 761
- 00:58:03,990 --> 00:58:05,160
- Thank you.
- 762
- 00:58:07,900 --> 00:58:09,600
- What is her hold on him?
- 763
- 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,080
- I have no idea.
- 764
- 00:58:13,990 --> 00:58:16,900
- Apparently she has certain skills...
- 765
- 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,600
- acquired in an
- establishment in Shanghai.
- 766
- 00:58:23,710 --> 00:58:24,490
- David.
- 767
- 00:58:26,890 --> 00:58:29,000
- Just be a sec, darling.
- Would you excuse me?
- 768
- 00:58:39,860 --> 00:58:42,260
- David, I've been trying to see you...
- 769
- 00:58:42,980 --> 00:58:44,030
- I've been terribly busy.
- 770
- 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:45,500
- Doing what?
- 771
- 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,020
- - Kinging.
- - Really?
- 772
- 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,130
- Kinging... is a precarious
- business these days.
- 773
- 00:58:54,130 --> 00:58:57,020
- Where is the Russian Tsar?
- Where is Cousin Wilhelm?
- 774
- 00:58:57,020 --> 00:58:58,620
- You're being dreary.
- 775
- 00:58:58,890 --> 00:59:03,180
- Is Kinging laying off 80... staff
- 776
- 00:59:03,210 --> 00:59:04,460
- and buying more pearls for Wallis
- 777
- 00:59:04,460 --> 00:59:06,210
- while people are marching across
- Europe singing the Red Flag?
- 778
- 00:59:06,210 --> 00:59:08,270
- Stop your worrying. Herr
- Hitler will sort them out.
- 779
- 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:09,920
- And who'll sort out Herr Hitler?
- 780
- 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,510
- Where's the bloody '23?
- 781
- 00:59:12,420 --> 00:59:14,620
- And you've put that woman
- into our mother's suite?
- 782
- 00:59:14,620 --> 00:59:16,470
- Mother's not still in the bed, is she?
- 783
- 00:59:16,470 --> 00:59:17,700
- That's not funny.
- 784
- 00:59:17,700 --> 00:59:20,300
- Here it is. Wallis likes the very best.
- 785
- 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,440
- I don't care what woman
- you carry on with at night,
- 786
- 00:59:23,470 --> 00:59:26,420
- as long as you show up
- for duty in the morning!
- 787
- 00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,830
- Wallis is not just some
- woman I am carrying on with.
- 788
- 00:59:29,830 --> 00:59:31,300
- We intend to marry.
- 789
- 00:59:33,150 --> 00:59:34,310
- Excuse me?
- 790
- 00:59:34,350 --> 00:59:36,700
- She's filing a petition for divorce.
- 791
- 00:59:37,670 --> 00:59:38,790
- Good God.
- 792
- 00:59:40,580 --> 00:59:43,520
- Can't you just give her
- a nice house and a title?
- 793
- 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:44,940
- I'm not having her as my mistress.
- 794
- 00:59:44,990 --> 00:59:46,500
- The Church doesn't recognize divorce,
- 795
- 00:59:46,500 --> 00:59:49,180
- and you are the... head of the Church.
- 796
- 00:59:49,180 --> 00:59:50,440
- Haven't I any rights?
- 797
- 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,670
- Many privileges...
- 798
- 00:59:51,710 --> 00:59:53,010
- Not the same thing.
- 799
- 00:59:53,970 --> 00:59:55,790
- Your beloved common
- man may marry for love,
- 800
- 00:59:55,790 --> 00:59:56,800
- why not me?
- 801
- 00:59:57,100 --> 00:59:59,380
- If you were... a common man,
- 802
- 00:59:59,380 --> 01:00:02,600
- on what basis could you...
- possibly claim to be King?
- 803
- 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,370
- Sounds like you've studied
- our wretched Constitution.
- 804
- 01:00:04,420 --> 01:00:05,260
- Sounds like you haven't.
- 805
- 01:00:05,310 --> 01:00:06,850
- That's what this is about.
- 806
- 01:00:06,850 --> 01:00:11,370
- Brushing up. Hence,
- the elocution lessons?
- 807
- 01:00:11,370 --> 01:00:12,700
- That's the scoop around town.
- 808
- 01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:14,240
- I'm trying to...
- 809
- 01:00:18,670 --> 01:00:21,820
- Yearning for a larger audience
- are we, B-B-B-B-Bertie?
- 810
- 01:00:24,070 --> 01:00:25,000
- Don't...
- 811
- 01:00:27,230 --> 01:00:28,300
- What's that?
- 812
- 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,000
- I'm sorry, I...
- 813
- 01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,520
- Younger brother trying to push
- older brother off the throne..
- 814
- 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,350
- P-P-P-P-Positively
- medieval.
- 815
- 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:39,400
- Wallis.
- 816
- 01:00:40,300 --> 01:00:43,700
- Ah. Where have you been all this time?
- 817
- 01:00:44,130 --> 01:00:46,100
- - Who have you been talking to?
- - Never you mind.
- 818
- 01:00:48,460 --> 01:00:53,700
- What a very complicated
- little King you are.
- 819
- 01:00:53,700 --> 01:00:54,700
- I try to be.
- 820
- 01:00:56,580 --> 01:00:59,550
- All that work... down the drain.
- 821
- 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:02,940
- My own brother...
- 822
- 01:01:02,940 --> 01:01:05,800
- I couldn't say a single
- word to him in reply.
- 823
- 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,690
- Why do you stammer so much more
- with David than you ever do with me?
- 824
- 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,850
- Because you're bloody
- well paid to listen!
- 825
- 01:01:11,850 --> 01:01:13,690
- Bertie, I'm not a geisha girl.
- 826
- 01:01:14,300 --> 01:01:15,750
- Stop trying to be so bloody clever!
- 827
- 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,000
- What is it about David
- that stops you speaking?
- 828
- 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,110
- What is it about you
- that bloody well makes...
- 829
- 01:01:21,110 --> 01:01:23,320
- you want to go on about
- him, the whole bloody time.
- 830
- 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,020
- Vulgar but fluent. You
- don't stammer when you swear.
- 831
- 01:01:27,020 --> 01:01:27,820
- Bugger off!
- 832
- 01:01:28,250 --> 01:01:29,520
- Is that the best you can do?
- 833
- 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:35,160
- Well, bloody bugger to
- you, you beastly bastard.
- 834
- 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,420
- A public school prig
- can do better than that.
- 835
- 01:01:39,540 --> 01:01:40,440
- Shit!
- 836
- 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:42,400
- Shit, shit, shit.
- 837
- 01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:45,400
- Shit, shit, shit,
- shit, shit, shit, shit.
- 838
- 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,000
- Shit! Shit!
- - Yes!
- 839
- 01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,810
- See how defecation flows
- trippingly from the tongue?
- 840
- 01:01:49,860 --> 01:01:50,840
- Because I'm angry!
- 841
- 01:01:50,890 --> 01:01:53,000
- You Know the f-word?
- 842
- 01:01:55,450 --> 01:01:56,200
- Fornication?
- 843
- 01:01:56,250 --> 01:01:57,350
- Oh Bertie.
- 844
- 01:01:58,100 --> 01:01:58,900
- Fuck.
- 845
- 01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:02,060
- Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking fuck!
- 846
- 01:02:02,060 --> 01:02:03,320
- Fuck, fuck and bugger!
- 847
- 01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,010
- Bugger, bugger, buggedy, buggedy.
- 848
- 01:02:05,010 --> 01:02:06,570
- Buggedy, fuck, fuck, ass
- 849
- 01:02:06,740 --> 01:02:09,700
- - Yes! You see! Not a hesitation!
- - Balls, balls, fuckety shit, shit,
- 850
- 01:02:09,700 --> 01:02:12,570
- Willy, shit and fuck! And tits.
- 851
- 01:02:12,620 --> 01:02:15,480
- Dad? What's going on?
- 852
- 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:17,870
- Sorry. Finish your homework
- 853
- 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,800
- Well...That's a side of you
- we don't get to see that often.
- 854
- 01:02:22,500 --> 01:02:27,000
- No. No we're not supposed
- to really, not publicly.
- 855
- 01:02:27,620 --> 01:02:28,560
- Let's get some air.
- 856
- 01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,200
- No, Logue, I don't
- think that's a good idea.
- 857
- 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,700
- What's the matter?
- What's got you so upset?
- 858
- 01:02:38,010 --> 01:02:40,560
- Logue, you have no idea.
- 859
- 01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:49,710
- My brother is infatuated with a
- woman who's been married twice.
- 860
- 01:02:50,290 --> 01:02:54,160
- She's asking for a divorce and
- David is determined to marry her.
- 861
- 01:02:55,350 --> 01:02:59,880
- Mrs. Wallis Simpson of Baltimore.
- 862
- 01:03:01,180 --> 01:03:03,070
- That's not right. Queen
- Wallis of Baltimore?
- 863
- 01:03:03,070 --> 01:03:04,040
- Unthinkable.
- 864
- 01:03:05,740 --> 01:03:06,770
- Can he do that?
- 865
- 01:03:06,820 --> 01:03:10,500
- Absolutely not. But
- he's going to anyway.
- 866
- 01:03:10,500 --> 01:03:12,260
- All hell's broken loose.
- 867
- 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,480
- Can't they carry on privately?
- 868
- 01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:16,870
- If only they would.
- 869
- 01:03:18,910 --> 01:03:20,510
- Where does that leave you?
- 870
- 01:03:23,050 --> 01:03:24,450
- I know my place.
- 871
- 01:03:26,850 --> 01:03:28,000
- I'll do anything...
- 872
- 01:03:28,900 --> 01:03:31,800
- in my power to keep my
- brother on the throne.
- 873
- 01:03:33,260 --> 01:03:34,560
- Is it that serious?
- 874
- 01:03:36,570 --> 01:03:38,000
- Your place may well be on the throne.
- 875
- 01:03:38,050 --> 01:03:39,820
- I am not an alternative to my brother.
- 876
- 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:41,390
- You can outshine David.
- 877
- 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,090
- Don't take liberties!
- 878
- 01:03:44,290 --> 01:03:45,370
- That's bordering on treason.
- 879
- 01:03:45,420 --> 01:03:47,340
- I'm just saying you could
- be King. You could do it!
- 880
- 01:03:47,700 --> 01:03:48,790
- That is treason!
- 881
- 01:03:48,790 --> 01:03:49,800
- I'm trying to get you to realise...
- 882
- 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,190
- - you need not be governed by fear.
- - I've had enough of this!
- 883
- 01:03:53,980 --> 01:03:54,940
- What're you so afraid of?
- 884
- 01:03:54,990 --> 01:03:56,030
- Your poisonous words!
- 885
- 01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:57,680
- Why'd you come to me?
- 886
- 01:03:57,730 --> 01:03:59,440
- You are not some middle class bugger,
- 887
- 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,780
- who needs elocution lessons
- so you can chit-chat...
- 888
- 01:04:01,830 --> 01:04:04,680
- Don't instruct me on my duties!
- 889
- 01:04:04,710 --> 01:04:07,990
- I'm the son of a.... King.
- 890
- 01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:10,570
- The brother of a king.
- 891
- 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,090
- You're the disappointing
- son of a brewer!
- 892
- 01:04:15,190 --> 01:04:17,700
- A jumped-up jackeroo from the outback!
- 893
- 01:04:18,950 --> 01:04:20,250
- You're nobody.
- 894
- 01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,800
- These sessions are over!
- 895
- 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,860
- It's not because she's an
- American. That is the least of it.
- 896
- 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:14,300
- It's because she is a soon to
- be a twice divorced American,
- 897
- 01:05:15,330 --> 01:05:18,820
- And the King, as head of
- The Church of England...
- 898
- 01:05:18,820 --> 01:05:21,700
- can not marry a divorced woman.
- 899
- 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,940
- And Sir, I apologize
- for the nature of this.
- 900
- 01:05:28,100 --> 01:05:29,800
- According to Scotland Yard,
- 901
- 01:05:30,870 --> 01:05:41,820
- the King has not always possess exclusive
- rights to Mrs. Simpson's favours and affections,
- 902
- 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,620
- sharing them with a
- married used car salesman,
- 903
- 01:05:45,620 --> 01:05:47,800
- a certain Mr Guy Trundle.
- 904
- 01:05:50,170 --> 01:05:52,680
- In addition, it is also rumoured...
- 905
- 01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,450
- Hitler's ambassador,
- Count von Ribbentrop,
- 906
- 01:05:56,450 --> 01:05:59,400
- sends her 17 carnations every day.
- 907
- 01:06:00,770 --> 01:06:04,220
- Should His Majesty continue to
- ignore the advice of His Government,
- 908
- 01:06:04,700 --> 01:06:06,320
- he must abdicate.
- 909
- 01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:10,000
- Otherwise His Government
- has no choice but to resign.
- 910
- 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,010
- Prime Minister,
- 911
- 01:06:11,010 --> 01:06:16,690
- you'd leave the country
- without a... a government?
- 912
- 01:06:18,190 --> 01:06:20,340
- Does the King do what he wants,
- 913
- 01:06:21,590 --> 01:06:24,540
- or does he do what his
- people expect him to do?
- 914
- 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:33,520
- What's the matter, love?
- 915
- 01:06:33,900 --> 01:06:36,120
- I'm Just having trouble with a patient.
- 916
- 01:06:38,430 --> 01:06:42,300
- That isn't like you.. Why?
- 917
- 01:06:44,110 --> 01:06:45,560
- He's scared...
- 918
- 01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:47,900
- H's afraid of his own shadow.
- 919
- 01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:50,920
- Isn't that why they come to you?
- 920
- 01:06:53,770 --> 01:06:56,280
- This fellow could be
- really somebody great,
- 921
- 01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:57,700
- and he's fighting me.
- 922
- 01:06:59,170 --> 01:07:01,620
- Perhaps, he doesn't want to be great.
- 923
- 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,450
- Perhaps that's what you want.
- 924
- 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,980
- I might have overstepped the mark.
- 925
- 01:07:14,500 --> 01:07:15,740
- Apologize,
- 926
- 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,230
- do you both good.
- 927
- 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,430
- I'm very sorry, Mr
- Logue, the Duke is busy.
- 928
- 01:07:33,350 --> 01:07:36,200
- I'm happy to wait. Or
- I could come back later.
- 929
- 01:07:37,330 --> 01:07:39,730
- As I said, the Duke is terribly busy.
- 930
- 01:07:48,730 --> 01:07:50,020
- Thank you.
- 931
- 01:08:03,830 --> 01:08:07,030
- The parliament will not
- support their marriage.
- 932
- 01:08:09,450 --> 01:08:11,260
- But there were other
- reasons for concern.
- 933
- 01:08:12,310 --> 01:08:13,760
- He was careless with state papers.
- 934
- 01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:15,320
- He lacked commitment and resolve.
- 935
- 01:08:15,370 --> 01:08:17,060
- There were those that worried
- 936
- 01:08:17,060 --> 01:08:19,970
- where he would stand when
- war comes with Germany .
- 937
- 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:24,450
- We're not coming to that?
- 938
- 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:26,410
- Indeed we are, Sir.
- 939
- 01:08:26,900 --> 01:08:29,010
- Prime Minister Baldwin may deny this,
- 940
- 01:08:29,010 --> 01:08:31,500
- but Hitler's intent is crystal clear.
- 941
- 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,290
- War with Germany will come,
- 942
- 01:08:35,010 --> 01:08:39,000
- and we will need a King behind whom
- we can all stand behind, united.
- 943
- 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:44,150
- I fear my... brother is not of...
- 944
- 01:08:44,150 --> 01:08:47,520
- sound mind, at this time.
- 945
- 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,850
- Have you thought what
- you will call yourself?
- 946
- 01:08:58,490 --> 01:09:01,860
- Certainly not Albert, Sir. Too Germanic.
- 947
- 01:09:10,090 --> 01:09:11,290
- What about George?
- 948
- 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,540
- After your father?
- 949
- 01:09:15,300 --> 01:09:16,620
- George the sixth.
- 950
- 01:09:16,990 --> 01:09:20,050
- It has rather a nice continuity to it,
- 951
- 01:09:20,050 --> 01:09:21,180
- don't you think?
- 952
- 01:09:25,330 --> 01:09:26,780
- David! Thank God.
- 953
- 01:09:28,570 --> 01:09:29,700
- You look exhausted!
- 954
- 01:09:33,230 --> 01:09:34,800
- How are you bearing up?
- 955
- 01:09:35,470 --> 01:09:37,400
- Bertie. The decision's been made, I...
- 956
- 01:09:38,450 --> 01:09:39,700
- I am going.
- 957
- 01:09:41,500 --> 01:09:42,340
- I cannot accept that.
- 958
- 01:09:42,340 --> 01:09:43,890
- You are in no condition
- to make that decision.
- 959
- 01:09:43,940 --> 01:09:44,820
- I'm afraid there's no other way.
- 960
- 01:09:46,700 --> 01:09:48,300
- I must marry her.
- 961
- 01:09:51,100 --> 01:09:53,590
- My mind's made up. I'm... sorry.
- 962
- 01:09:57,580 --> 01:09:59,300
- That's a terrible thing to hear.
- 963
- 01:10:03,150 --> 01:10:06,000
- David, nobody wants
- that. I least of all.
- 964
- 01:10:12,860 --> 01:10:18,600
- "At long last I am able to
- say, a few words of my own.
- 965
- 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:23,090
- I have never wanted
- to withhold anything,
- 966
- 01:10:23,700 --> 01:10:24,900
- but until now,
- 967
- 01:10:25,300 --> 01:10:28,200
- it has not been constitutionally
- possible for me to speak.
- 968
- 01:10:29,580 --> 01:10:33,380
- A few hours ago I
- discharged my last duty...
- 969
- 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,400
- as King and Emperor.
- 970
- 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:43,460
- And now that I have been succeeded
- by my brother, the Duke of York
- 971
- 01:10:44,570 --> 01:10:47,730
- my first words must be to
- declare my allegiance to him.
- 972
- 01:10:48,900 --> 01:10:51,400
- This I do with all my heart.
- 973
- 01:10:54,860 --> 01:10:56,270
- You all know the reasons
- 974
- 01:10:56,270 --> 01:10:58,960
- which have impelled me
- to renounce the throne.
- 975
- 01:10:59,990 --> 01:11:02,540
- But you must believe me, when I tell you
- 976
- 01:11:04,190 --> 01:11:06,340
- I have found it impossible to carry the
- 977
- 01:11:06,340 --> 01:11:10,040
- heavy burden of responsibility
- and to discharge my duties..
- 978
- 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,860
- as King as I would wish to do...
- 979
- 01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:17,610
- without the help and
- support of the woman I love.
- 980
- 01:11:19,770 --> 01:11:21,070
- And I want you to know.
- 981
- 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:25,310
- This decision has been
- made less difficult to me...
- 982
- 01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:28,880
- by the sure knowledge that my brother,
- 983
- 01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,400
- with his long training in the
- public affairs of this country...
- 984
- 01:11:33,990 --> 01:11:35,930
- and with his fine qualities...
- 985
- 01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,990
- will be able to take
- my place forth with...
- 986
- 01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,590
- without interruption or injury...
- 987
- 01:11:44,020 --> 01:11:47,740
- to the life and progress of the empire."
- 988
- 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,030
- I meet you at today...
- 989
- 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,300
- in circumstances which are...
- 990
- 01:13:32,990 --> 01:13:34,240
- I'm sure you will love it.
- 991
- 01:13:34,950 --> 01:13:37,070
- Thank you darling, saddles, Margret.
- 992
- 01:13:37,460 --> 01:13:38,840
- - Yes mom.
- - Good boy.
- 993
- 01:13:48,340 --> 01:13:50,300
- Mama, will we have space for
- our horses in our new home?
- 994
- 01:13:50,350 --> 01:13:52,700
- Of course we will, darling,
- we'll have a palace of rooms.
- 995
- 01:14:02,930 --> 01:14:03,940
- Curtsey.
- 996
- 01:14:06,330 --> 01:14:07,620
- Your Majesty.
- 997
- 01:14:25,060 --> 01:14:26,580
- How was it?
- 998
- 01:14:37,940 --> 01:14:45,750
- I'm trying to familiarise myself
- with what a state paper looks like.
- 999
- 01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:54,830
- A despatch from Mr Baldwin which
- I don't understand a word of.
- 1000
- 01:14:58,410 --> 01:14:59,860
- David's finances.
- 1001
- 01:15:05,350 --> 01:15:08,730
- The Christmas... broadcast.
- 1002
- 01:15:10,370 --> 01:15:11,930
- I think that might be a mistake.
- 1003
- 01:15:11,930 --> 01:15:12,930
- Don't worry about that.
- 1004
- 01:15:24,490 --> 01:15:26,020
- Plans for the Coronation
- 1005
- 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,670
- I think that's an even bigger mistake.
- 1006
- 01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:34,780
- I'm not a King.
- 1007
- 01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,760
- I'm a naval officer. That's all I know.
- 1008
- 01:15:44,990 --> 01:15:46,430
- I'm not here. I'm not a King.
- 1009
- 01:15:48,210 --> 01:15:49,390
- I'm sorry.
- 1010
- 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:51,980
- I'm sorry.
- 1011
- 01:15:51,980 --> 01:15:53,270
- Please, please.
- 1012
- 01:15:57,330 --> 01:16:00,770
- Oh, dear. Dear, dear man.
- 1013
- 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:05,280
- You know...
- 1014
- 01:16:05,900 --> 01:16:09,930
- I refused your first
- two marriage proposals,
- 1015
- 01:16:09,930 --> 01:16:12,120
- not because I didn't love you,
- 1016
- 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,600
- but because I couldn't bear
- the idea of a Royal life.
- 1017
- 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:20,020
- Couldn't bear the idea of a
- life of tours and public duties,
- 1018
- 01:16:20,620 --> 01:16:24,240
- a life that no longer
- was really to be my own.
- 1019
- 01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:26,740
- But then I thought...
- 1020
- 01:16:27,630 --> 01:16:29,460
- he stammers so beautifully...
- 1021
- 01:16:29,500 --> 01:16:31,250
- they'll leave us alone.
- 1022
- 01:16:57,580 --> 01:17:02,150
- Waiting for a king to apologize,
- one can wait rather a long wait.
- 1023
- 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,410
- I'm afraid we're slightly late.
- 1024
- 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,540
- This is home.
- 1025
- 01:17:14,250 --> 01:17:15,280
- Myrtle's at bridge.
- 1026
- 01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:16,700
- I've made sure the boys are out.
- 1027
- 01:17:17,190 --> 01:17:18,180
- It's lovely.
- 1028
- 01:17:19,250 --> 01:17:20,750
- Absolutely lovely.
- 1029
- 01:17:21,630 --> 01:17:22,630
- May I sit down?
- 1030
- 01:17:22,930 --> 01:17:23,890
- Yes, of course.
- 1031
- 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:32,820
- Would you like some tea, Ma'am?
- 1032
- 01:17:32,870 --> 01:17:34,500
- Yes. I'll help myself.
- 1033
- 01:17:34,950 --> 01:17:35,930
- Off you go...
- 1034
- 01:17:35,930 --> 01:17:38,060
- Or must I knock your heads together?
- 1035
- 01:17:39,700 --> 01:17:41,370
- Here's your shilling,
- 1036
- 01:17:52,540 --> 01:17:53,920
- I... I understand...
- 1037
- 01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:57,000
- what you were trying to say, Logue.
- 1038
- 01:17:58,440 --> 01:17:59,900
- I went about it the wrong way.
- 1039
- 01:18:01,590 --> 01:18:02,690
- I'm sorry.
- 1040
- 01:18:05,430 --> 01:18:06,410
- So, here I am.
- 1041
- 01:18:06,460 --> 01:18:08,660
- Is the nation ready for two...
- 1042
- 01:18:09,670 --> 01:18:11,980
- minutes of radio silence?
- 1043
- 01:18:11,980 --> 01:18:15,380
- Every stammerer always fears
- they will fall back to square one.
- 1044
- 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:17,440
- I don't let that happen.
- 1045
- 01:18:17,490 --> 01:18:20,160
- If I fail in my duty...
- 1046
- 01:18:21,630 --> 01:18:22,710
- David could come back.
- 1047
- 01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:24,460
- I've seen the placard.
- 1048
- 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,500
- "God save our... King."
- 1049
- 01:18:29,780 --> 01:18:31,010
- They don't mean me.
- 1050
- 01:18:33,330 --> 01:18:35,810
- Every other monarch in history
- 1051
- 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:42,600
- succeeded someone who was
- dead, or just about to be.
- 1052
- 01:18:45,650 --> 01:18:50,630
- My predecessor is not only
- alive, but very much so.
- 1053
- 01:18:55,340 --> 01:18:56,890
- What a bloody mess!
- 1054
- 01:18:58,460 --> 01:19:00,530
- I can't even give them
- a Christmas Speech.
- 1055
- 01:19:00,580 --> 01:19:02,230
- Like your Dad used to do?
- 1056
- 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:03,620
- Precisely.
- 1057
- 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:05,900
- He's not here anymore.
- 1058
- 01:19:09,020 --> 01:19:11,820
- Yes he is. He's on that
- shilling I gave you.
- 1059
- 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,130
- Easy enough to give away.
- 1060
- 01:19:15,890 --> 01:19:18,030
- You don't have to carry
- him around in your pocket.
- 1061
- 01:19:18,970 --> 01:19:20,470
- Or your brother.
- 1062
- 01:19:21,700 --> 01:19:23,420
- You don't need to be afraid of
- 1063
- 01:19:23,420 --> 01:19:26,400
- the things as you were
- afraid of when you were five.
- 1064
- 01:19:32,500 --> 01:19:35,000
- You're very much your own man, Bertie.
- 1065
- 01:19:36,510 --> 01:19:37,430
- Am I?
- 1066
- 01:19:42,340 --> 01:19:44,000
- Your face is next, mate.
- 1067
- 01:19:44,050 --> 01:19:45,400
- Lionel?
- 1068
- 01:19:46,380 --> 01:19:47,580
- Myrtle!
- 1069
- 01:19:47,670 --> 01:19:50,030
- - Is it alright?
- - Yes.
- 1070
- 01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,630
- Bertie, come here.
- 1071
- 01:19:54,750 --> 01:19:57,160
- - Are you alright, Logue?
- - Yes.
- 1072
- 01:19:59,930 --> 01:20:02,980
- - Shall we go through?
- - Trust me. It's important.
- 1073
- 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:05,660
- What is it?
- 1074
- 01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,350
- - Your... Your...
- - It's your Majesty? The first time.
- 1075
- 01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:14,350
- After that, it's Ma'am. As
- in Ham, not Malm as in Palm.
- 1076
- 01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,930
- I haven't told her about us.
- 1077
- 01:20:17,930 --> 01:20:19,080
- Sit down, relax.
- 1078
- 01:20:20,020 --> 01:20:24,050
- I'm told your husband
- calls my husband Bertie
- 1079
- 01:20:24,630 --> 01:20:27,090
- and my husband calls
- your husband Lionel.
- 1080
- 01:20:27,140 --> 01:20:29,240
- I trust you won't call me Liz.
- 1081
- 01:20:29,830 --> 01:20:33,090
- Your Majesty, you may
- call me Mrs Logue, Ma'am.
- 1082
- 01:20:33,930 --> 01:20:36,180
- Very nice to meet you, Mrs Logue.
- 1083
- 01:20:38,050 --> 01:20:39,520
- Logue, we can't stand here all day.
- 1084
- 01:20:39,570 --> 01:20:42,520
- Yes we can. Look, I need to
- wait for the right moment.
- 1085
- 01:20:42,570 --> 01:20:44,040
- Logue, you're being a coward!
- 1086
- 01:20:44,440 --> 01:20:45,720
- You're damn right.
- 1087
- 01:20:47,210 --> 01:20:48,450
- Get out there, man!
- 1088
- 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,500
- Hello, Myrtle darling!
- 1089
- 01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:54,960
- You're early.
- 1090
- 01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,230
- I believe you two have met!
- 1091
- 01:20:57,230 --> 01:20:58,870
- But I didn't think, you know...
- 1092
- 01:21:00,530 --> 01:21:02,000
- King George the Sixth.
- 1093
- 01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:03,760
- It's very nice to meet you.
- 1094
- 01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,650
- Will their Majesties
- be staying to dinner?
- 1095
- 01:21:12,420 --> 01:21:15,650
- We would love to, such
- a treat, but alas...
- 1096
- 01:21:16,260 --> 01:21:18,660
- a previous engagement. What a pitty.
- 1097
- 01:21:34,310 --> 01:21:37,380
- - Archbishop.
- - Welcome, your Majesty.
- 1098
- 01:21:38,650 --> 01:21:41,230
- What a glorious tranformation, Sir.
- 1099
- 01:21:41,860 --> 01:21:45,260
- I hope you'll forgive us if
- we continue our preparations.
- 1100
- 01:21:46,250 --> 01:21:51,760
- And now you will allow me to
- guide you through the ceremony.
- 1101
- 01:21:56,180 --> 01:22:00,730
- We begin of course at the
- West door, then into the nave.
- 1102
- 01:22:02,810 --> 01:22:03,880
- I see you all your
- 1103
- 01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,660
- pronouncements are to
- be broadcast, Archbishop.
- 1104
- 01:22:07,110 --> 01:22:11,960
- Ah, yes, wireless is
- indeed a Pandora's Box.
- 1105
- 01:22:12,590 --> 01:22:16,280
- I'm afraid I also have to
- permit the newsreel cameras.
- 1106
- 01:22:16,530 --> 01:22:19,800
- The product of which I
- shall personally edit.
- 1107
- 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,490
- Without momentary hesitation.
- 1108
- 01:22:23,170 --> 01:22:27,410
- This is Doctor Logue of Harley Street.
- 1109
- 01:22:27,410 --> 01:22:29,530
- He's my speech therapist.
- 1110
- 01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:32,640
- - Your Grace.
- - Had I known
- 1111
- 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,890
- that Your Majesty was seeking assistance
- 1112
- 01:22:34,940 --> 01:22:37,490
- I should've made my own recommendation.
- 1113
- 01:22:38,060 --> 01:22:40,200
- Dr. Logue...
- 1114
- 01:22:40,870 --> 01:22:43,120
- will be attending the Coronation.
- 1115
- 01:22:43,380 --> 01:22:45,880
- Well of course I shall
- speak with the Dean,
- 1116
- 01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:47,680
- but it was extremely difficult.
- 1117
- 01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:55,250
- I should like the Doctor to
- be seated in the King's Box.
- 1118
- 01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,780
- But members of your Family
- will be seated there, Sir.
- 1119
- 01:22:59,830 --> 01:23:01,730
- That is why it's suitable.
- 1120
- 01:23:03,950 --> 01:23:05,040
- And now, if you don't mind Your Grace,
- 1121
- 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:05,940
- we need the premises.
- 1122
- 01:23:05,990 --> 01:23:08,520
- My dear fellow, this
- is Westminster Abbey!
- 1123
- 01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:10,680
- The Church must prepare his Majesty.
- 1124
- 01:23:10,820 --> 01:23:13,520
- My preparations are
- equalized in important
- 1125
- 01:23:18,070 --> 01:23:20,720
- With complete privacy,
- if you don't mind.
- 1126
- 01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:24,700
- Those are my wishes, Your Grace.
- 1127
- 01:23:25,990 --> 01:23:29,650
- I shall place the Abbey at
- Your majesty's disposal...
- 1128
- 01:23:29,650 --> 01:23:32,980
- this evening. Your Majesty.
- 1129
- 01:24:04,350 --> 01:24:05,480
- I can't believe I'm walking on...
- 1130
- 01:24:05,480 --> 01:24:07,840
- Chaucer and Handel and Dickens.
- 1131
- 01:24:11,550 --> 01:24:13,470
- Everything alright? Let's get cracking.
- 1132
- 01:24:15,530 --> 01:24:19,040
- I'm not here to rehearse, Doctor Logue.
- 1133
- 01:24:22,210 --> 01:24:23,710
- Call me Lionel.
- 1134
- 01:24:25,150 --> 01:24:31,130
- True, you... never...
- called yourself "Doctor".
- 1135
- 01:24:31,210 --> 01:24:35,570
- I did that... for you.
- 1136
- 01:24:39,450 --> 01:24:47,940
- No training, no... diploma,
- no... qualifications.
- 1137
- 01:24:48,750 --> 01:24:52,350
- Just a... great deal of nerve.
- 1138
- 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,060
- The star chamber inquisition, is it?
- 1139
- 01:24:56,110 --> 01:25:01,520
- You asked trust. And... total equality.
- 1140
- 01:25:02,510 --> 01:25:04,430
- Bertie, I heard you at Wembley.
- 1141
- 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:05,630
- I was there.
- 1142
- 01:25:07,070 --> 01:25:08,370
- My son Laurie said dad,
- 1143
- 01:25:08,370 --> 01:25:09,980
- do you think you could
- help that poor man?
- 1144
- 01:25:09,980 --> 01:25:12,180
- What, as a failed actor!?
- 1145
- 01:25:12,380 --> 01:25:15,290
- It's true, I'm not a doctor,
- 1146
- 01:25:15,290 --> 01:25:18,000
- and yes I acted a bit,
- 1147
- 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:23,230
- Well I recited in pubs and
- taught elocution in schools.
- 1148
- 01:25:23,650 --> 01:25:25,350
- When the Great War came,
- 1149
- 01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,780
- all our Soldiers were returning
- straight from the front,
- 1150
- 01:25:27,830 --> 01:25:29,320
- a lot of them shell-shocked,
- 1151
- 01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:30,580
- unable to speak
- 1152
- 01:25:31,630 --> 01:25:34,020
- somebody said, Lionel, you're
- very good at all this speech stuff.
- 1153
- 01:25:34,070 --> 01:25:36,820
- Do you think you can possibly
- help these poor buggers?
- 1154
- 01:25:38,110 --> 01:25:40,940
- I did muscle therapy,
- exercise, relaxation,
- 1155
- 01:25:40,940 --> 01:25:42,780
- but I knew I had to go deeper.
- 1156
- 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,000
- These poor young blokes
- had cried out in fear,
- 1157
- 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,110
- no-one was listening to them.
- 1158
- 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:53,750
- My job was to give them
- faith in their own voice
- 1159
- 01:25:54,710 --> 01:25:57,560
- and let them know that
- a friend was listening.
- 1160
- 01:25:59,220 --> 01:26:01,970
- That must ring a few
- bells with you, Bertie.
- 1161
- 01:26:06,650 --> 01:26:08,980
- You give a very noble
- account of yourself.
- 1162
- 01:26:09,030 --> 01:26:11,130
- Make inquiries. It's all true.
- 1163
- 01:26:11,270 --> 01:26:12,760
- Inquiries have been made!
- 1164
- 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,800
- You have no idea who I
- have breathing down my neck?
- 1165
- 01:26:17,670 --> 01:26:19,060
- I vouched for you
- 1166
- 01:26:19,060 --> 01:26:23,730
- and you have no... credentials.
- 1167
- 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:25,850
- But lots of success!
- 1168
- 01:26:25,850 --> 01:26:27,360
- I can't show you certificate...
- 1169
- 01:26:27,900 --> 01:26:29,140
- there was no training then.
- 1170
- 01:26:29,140 --> 01:26:31,020
- Everything I know I
- know from experience,
- 1171
- 01:26:31,070 --> 01:26:34,550
- and that war... was some experience.
- 1172
- 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,480
- My plaque says,
- "L.Logue, Speech Defects."
- 1173
- 01:26:39,530 --> 01:26:42,230
- No Dr., there are no
- letters after my name.
- 1174
- 01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:48,790
- Lock me in the Tower.
- 1175
- 01:26:48,790 --> 01:26:49,950
- I would if I could!
- 1176
- 01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:51,850
- - On what charge?
- - Fraud!
- 1177
- 01:26:52,590 --> 01:26:53,720
- With war looming,
- 1178
- 01:26:53,730 --> 01:26:56,990
- you've saddled this nation
- with a voiceless King.
- 1179
- 01:26:57,780 --> 01:27:00,340
- You destroyed the
- happiness of my family.
- 1180
- 01:27:00,340 --> 01:27:02,770
- All for the sake of ensnaring a star...
- 1181
- 01:27:03,530 --> 01:27:07,240
- patient you couldn't
- possibly hope to assist!
- 1182
- 01:27:08,860 --> 01:27:13,900
- It'll be like mad...
- King George the Third,
- 1183
- 01:27:15,650 --> 01:27:21,430
- there'll be mad King
- George the stammerer...
- 1184
- 01:27:24,430 --> 01:27:28,290
- who let his people down so
- badly in their hour of need!
- 1185
- 01:27:28,950 --> 01:27:29,850
- What're you doing?
- 1186
- 01:27:29,850 --> 01:27:31,480
- Get up! You can't sit there! Get up!
- 1187
- 01:27:31,530 --> 01:27:32,740
- Why not? It's a chair.
- 1188
- 01:27:32,790 --> 01:27:36,100
- No, that's not a chair,
- that is... that is...
- 1189
- 01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:38,040
- That is Saint Edward's Chair!
- 1190
- 01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:39,700
- People have carved their names on it.
- 1191
- 01:27:39,750 --> 01:27:42,380
- That chair is the seat on
- which every King and Queen.
- 1192
- 01:27:42,430 --> 01:27:44,280
- It's held in a place by a large rock!
- 1193
- 01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:45,610
- That's the Stone of Scone yard,
- 1194
- 01:27:45,660 --> 01:27:47,990
- - you are trivialising everything.
- - You believe such bollocks.
- 1195
- 01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:48,880
- You're trivialising everything!
- 1196
- 01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:49,690
- I don't care how many royal...
- 1197
- 01:27:49,740 --> 01:27:51,550
- - Listen to me. Listen to me!
- - arse have sat in this chair.
- 1198
- 01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,560
- - Listen to me!
- - Listen to you? By what right?
- 1199
- 01:27:53,610 --> 01:27:55,570
- By the divine right, if
- you must! I'm your King!!!
- 1200
- 01:27:55,620 --> 01:27:57,250
- No you're not! You told me so yourself.
- 1201
- 01:27:57,250 --> 01:27:58,420
- You said you didn't want it.
- 1202
- 01:27:58,470 --> 01:27:59,820
- Why should I waste my
- time listening to you?
- 1203
- 01:27:59,820 --> 01:28:00,960
- Because I have a right to be heard!
- 1204
- 01:28:01,010 --> 01:28:03,410
- - Heard as what?
- - I HAVE A VOICE!
- 1205
- 01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:09,860
- Yes you do.
- 1206
- 01:28:19,780 --> 01:28:21,440
- You have such a perservance,
- 1207
- 01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:23,680
- Bertie, you're the bravest man I know.
- 1208
- 01:28:24,060 --> 01:28:26,410
- And you'll make a bloody good king.
- 1209
- 01:28:33,710 --> 01:28:35,600
- What on earth's going on, Sir?
- 1210
- 01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:37,200
- It's quite alright, Archbishop.
- 1211
- 01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:39,280
- Mr Logue, you must know
- 1212
- 01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,500
- that I found a replacement
- English specialist
- 1213
- 01:28:41,550 --> 01:28:43,860
- with impeccable credentials.
- 1214
- 01:28:43,860 --> 01:28:46,570
- Hence, your services will
- no longer be required.
- 1215
- 01:28:46,770 --> 01:28:47,760
- I'm sorry?
- 1216
- 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,450
- Your Majesty's function is
- to consult and be advised.
- 1217
- 01:28:50,500 --> 01:28:54,120
- And you didn't consult, but
- you've just been advised.
- 1218
- 01:28:55,830 --> 01:28:58,020
- Now I advise you:
- 1219
- 01:28:58,020 --> 01:29:02,700
- In this personal matter I
- will make my own decision.
- 1220
- 01:29:03,380 --> 01:29:07,840
- My concern is for the head upon
- which I must place the crown.
- 1221
- 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:12,890
- I appreciate that
- Archbshop, but it's my head!
- 1222
- 01:29:15,290 --> 01:29:16,890
- Your humble servant.
- 1223
- 01:29:24,330 --> 01:29:25,830
- Thank you Bertie.
- 1224
- 01:29:28,260 --> 01:29:31,010
- Shall we rehearse?
- Come on upon your purge.
- 1225
- 01:29:39,150 --> 01:29:42,440
- Now when you and Elizabeth
- enter through the West door,
- 1226
- 01:29:42,490 --> 01:29:46,340
- you'll be greeted by the hymn "I
- was glad when they said onto me"
- 1227
- 01:29:46,740 --> 01:29:48,340
- Actually you won't be that glad,
- 1228
- 01:29:48,340 --> 01:29:50,340
- because they sing it
- for a very long time.
- 1229
- 01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:53,110
- Then your friend
- 1230
- 01:29:53,110 --> 01:29:56,310
- the Archbishop will ponce
- up the stairs toward you
- 1231
- 01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:01,810
- and say "Sir, is Your Majesty
- willing to take The oath"
- 1232
- 01:30:02,810 --> 01:30:05,410
- - "I am willing"
- - Course you are!
- 1233
- 01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:08,030
- I'm gonna see what it sounds
- like in the cheap seats
- 1234
- 01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,280
- so even your old nanny can hear.
- 1235
- 01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:15,510
- "Will you govern your peoples of
- Great Britain, Ireland, Canada,
- 1236
- 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:21,010
- Australia and New Zealand according
- to their lands and customs"
- 1237
- 01:30:22,810 --> 01:30:23,810
- "I solemnly promise so do so."
- 1238
- 01:30:24,010 --> 01:30:25,610
- Louder! I can't hear you up the back.
- 1239
- 01:30:25,710 --> 01:30:28,620
- "I solemnly promise so do so."
- 1240
- 01:30:28,620 --> 01:30:30,220
- Very good!
- 1241
- 01:30:30,220 --> 01:30:33,630
- "Will you to your power cause
- Law and Justice, in Mercy,
- 1242
- 01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:36,860
- to be executed in all your judgements?"
- 1243
- 01:30:37,260 --> 01:30:38,880
- "I will." "I WILL!"
- 1244
- 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,610
- Then there's a very long bit
- about upholding the faith,
- 1245
- 01:30:41,610 --> 01:30:45,310
- goes on, rubbish, rubbish,
- rubbish. To which you finally say...
- 1246
- 01:30:45,430 --> 01:30:50,000
- "The things which I have...
- here before promised,
- 1247
- 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,500
- I will perform and keep."
- 1248
- 01:30:53,900 --> 01:30:55,290
- So help me God
- 1249
- 01:30:55,770 --> 01:30:58,470
- And that's all you'll
- say. Four short responses,
- 1250
- 01:30:58,470 --> 01:31:01,420
- kiss the book and sign
- the oath and you're King.
- 1251
- 01:31:02,910 --> 01:31:03,760
- Easy.
- 1252
- 01:31:17,140 --> 01:31:19,890
- You nearly crowned him
- backwards Archbishop!
- 1253
- 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:25,230
- Someone had removed the thread
- marking the back of the Crown, Sir.
- 1254
- 01:31:25,790 --> 01:31:28,190
- Try not lose the thread, Archbishop.
- 1255
- 01:31:28,950 --> 01:31:31,100
- Archbishop, we're missing Papa.
- 1256
- 01:31:35,700 --> 01:31:39,000
- Very good, very good. Archbishop.
- 1257
- 01:31:40,540 --> 01:31:43,570
- Well, I hope Your Majesties
- are thrilled with the result.
- 1258
- 01:31:43,620 --> 01:31:46,800
- You could switch that machine off now.
- 1259
- 01:31:47,090 --> 01:31:48,890
- No, wait, keep going.
- 1260
- 01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:51,490
- Do have a seat, Archbishop.
- 1261
- 01:32:10,860 --> 01:32:14,290
- Papa? Papa, what's he saying?
- 1262
- 01:32:14,410 --> 01:32:17,730
- I don't know, but he seems
- to be saying it rather well.
- 1263
- 01:32:37,950 --> 01:32:41,220
- Sir, I have asked to see you today...
- 1264
- 01:32:41,220 --> 01:32:46,220
- in order to tender my
- resignation as Prime Minister.
- 1265
- 01:32:48,480 --> 01:32:51,030
- I am so sorry to hear that, Mr Baldwin.
- 1266
- 01:32:51,750 --> 01:32:55,150
- Neville Chamberlain will take
- my place as Prime Minister.
- 1267
- 01:32:55,550 --> 01:32:58,760
- It's a matter of
- principal. I was mistaken.
- 1268
- 01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:02,840
- I have found it impossible to believe...
- 1269
- 01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:06,370
- that there is any man in the world...
- 1270
- 01:33:07,310 --> 01:33:11,320
- so lacking in moral feeling as Hitler,
- 1271
- 01:33:12,930 --> 01:33:15,700
- but the world may be hurled for...
- 1272
- 01:33:15,700 --> 01:33:19,730
- a second time into the
- abyss of destructive War.
- 1273
- 01:33:22,030 --> 01:33:24,430
- Churchill was right all along.
- 1274
- 01:33:24,930 --> 01:33:27,230
- This was always Hitler's intention.
- 1275
- 01:33:28,770 --> 01:33:32,730
- I am many very sorry to leave
- you in this great time of crisis.
- 1276
- 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,330
- I am very much afraid Sir,
- 1277
- 01:33:38,330 --> 01:33:41,750
- that your greatest test is yet to come.
- 1278
- 01:33:47,310 --> 01:33:51,500
- I am speaking to you
- from the cabinet room...
- 1279
- 01:33:51,500 --> 01:33:53,210
- at 10 Downing Street.
- 1280
- 01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:58,420
- This morning the British
- Ambassador in Berlin...
- 1281
- 01:33:59,170 --> 01:34:02,500
- handed the German
- Government a final note...
- 1282
- 01:34:03,670 --> 01:34:08,330
- stating that unless we
- heard from them by 11 oclock,
- 1283
- 01:34:09,100 --> 01:34:10,640
- that they were prepared at once...
- 1284
- 01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:13,650
- to withdraw their troops from Poland,
- 1285
- 01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:17,600
- a state of war would exist between us.
- 1286
- 01:34:19,380 --> 01:34:21,020
- I have to tell you now
- 1287
- 01:34:21,020 --> 01:34:24,210
- that no such undertaking
- has been received,
- 1288
- 01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:30,490
- and that consequently, this
- country is at war with Germany.
- 1289
- 01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:38,960
- At last Sir, here is your speech.
- 1290
- 01:34:40,060 --> 01:34:41,670
- You are on air at six.
- 1291
- 01:34:42,210 --> 01:34:46,800
- I've timed it at just
- under nine minutes.
- 1292
- 01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,240
- The wording is fully approved.
- 1293
- 01:34:49,450 --> 01:34:52,220
- The Prime Minister will be
- joining you for the broadcast
- 1294
- 01:34:52,270 --> 01:34:54,640
- which will go out
- live across the Nation,
- 1295
- 01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,660
- the Empire and to our Armed Forces.
- 1296
- 01:34:56,710 --> 01:34:58,360
- Get Logue here immediately.
- 1297
- 01:35:13,670 --> 01:35:15,600
- - There's the barrage balloons.
- - Yes.
- 1298
- 01:35:17,620 --> 01:35:19,990
- - They got them up there quickly.
- - Yeah.
- 1299
- 01:35:33,010 --> 01:35:35,020
- Should we pull over and find shelter?
- 1300
- 01:35:35,020 --> 01:35:36,970
- No, go straight on. We'll be alright
- 1301
- 01:35:46,750 --> 01:35:48,500
- - Yes. Sir?
- - Lionel Logue.
- 1302
- 01:35:48,590 --> 01:35:51,470
- Major Hartley's expecting
- me. This is my son Laury.
- 1303
- 01:35:59,610 --> 01:36:01,290
- - Thank you, Laurie.
- - Good luck, Dad.
- 1304
- 01:36:08,380 --> 01:36:09,540
- - The King's Speech.
- - Thank you, Sir.
- 1305
- 01:36:09,590 --> 01:36:11,890
- We have about forty
- minutes to the broadcast.
- 1306
- 01:36:14,710 --> 01:36:17,030
- Thank you very much. Thank you.
- 1307
- 01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:23,370
- "there may be dark days ahead, and..."
- 1308
- 01:36:24,290 --> 01:36:25,790
- Try again.
- 1309
- 01:36:29,530 --> 01:36:33,590
- "there may be dark days ahead, and..."
- 1310
- 01:36:35,190 --> 01:36:36,730
- Turn the hesitations into pauses...
- 1311
- 01:36:36,730 --> 01:36:38,540
- and say to yourself,
- "God save the King."
- 1312
- 01:36:38,590 --> 01:36:42,090
- I say that continuously, but
- apparently no one's listening.
- 1313
- 01:36:42,250 --> 01:36:45,560
- Long pauses are good. They add
- solemnity to great occasions.
- 1314
- 01:36:45,610 --> 01:36:48,460
- Then I'm the solemnest
- king who ever lived.
- 1315
- 01:36:49,170 --> 01:36:52,890
- You know, if I am to be
- King, where is my power?
- 1316
- 01:36:53,100 --> 01:36:56,340
- Can I... Can I reform a government?
- 1317
- 01:36:56,340 --> 01:37:00,960
- Can I... Can I... levy
- a tax? Declare a war? No.
- 1318
- 01:37:01,090 --> 01:37:03,260
- Yet I am the seat of all authority. Why?
- 1319
- 01:37:03,310 --> 01:37:08,960
- Because the Nation believes that
- when I... I speak, I speak for them.
- 1320
- 01:37:09,010 --> 01:37:10,560
- But I cannot speak!
- 1321
- 01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:13,870
- Let's take it all again from the top.
- 1322
- 01:37:13,870 --> 01:37:15,800
- "In this grave hour"
- 1323
- 01:37:27,500 --> 01:37:31,470
- In this grave hour... Fuck, fuck, fuck.
- 1324
- 01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:34,780
- perhaps the most fateful in our
- history... Bugger, shit, shit.
- 1325
- 01:37:34,830 --> 01:37:38,480
- I send to every household of my...
- 1326
- 01:37:40,670 --> 01:37:43,620
- You see, "P" is always
- difficult, even when I'm singing.
- 1327
- 01:37:43,670 --> 01:37:45,700
- Bounce on to it. "A peoples."
- 1328
- 01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,560
- - Not people.
- - A people.
- 1329
- 01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:53,380
- Household of my peoples both at home...
- 1330
- 01:37:53,380 --> 01:37:55,590
- - and overseas.
- - Beautiful.
- 1331
- 01:37:56,260 --> 01:37:58,520
- this message, doo-dah day.
- 1332
- 01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:01,390
- spoken with the same depth
- of feeling. Doo-dah day...
- 1333
- 01:38:01,440 --> 01:38:05,390
- for each one of you as if I were
- able to... Shit, fuck, bugger!
- 1334
- 01:38:05,440 --> 01:38:08,450
- cross your threshold and speak to you...
- 1335
- 01:38:10,330 --> 01:38:12,340
- In your head, now. "I have a
- right to be bloody well heard."
- 1336
- 01:38:12,390 --> 01:38:16,090
- Bloody well heard, bloody well
- heard, bloody well heard myself!
- 1337
- 01:38:16,510 --> 01:38:19,090
- Now, waltz. Move. Get
- continuous movement.
- 1338
- 01:38:19,140 --> 01:38:24,830
- For the second time in the
- lives of most of us we are at...
- 1339
- 01:38:25,470 --> 01:38:28,550
- - "We are," Take a pause.
- - Lionel, I can't do this.
- 1340
- 01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:30,640
- Bertie, you can do it.
- 1341
- 01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:36,260
- - Have a look at the last paragraph.
- - Bertie, it's time.
- 1342
- 01:38:49,950 --> 01:38:52,300
- - Archbishop.
- - Your Majesty.
- 1343
- 01:38:53,420 --> 01:38:55,090
- A great moment, Sir.
- 1344
- 01:38:59,570 --> 01:39:01,770
- - Prime Minister.
- - Your Majesty.
- 1345
- 01:39:03,690 --> 01:39:08,150
- Nice to see you... again so soon.
- 1346
- 01:39:13,570 --> 01:39:14,840
- Good of you to be here.
- 1347
- 01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:19,430
- I'm sure you've had rather a busy day.
- 1348
- 01:39:19,990 --> 01:39:21,410
- Let's hope we have no more
- 1349
- 01:39:21,410 --> 01:39:23,810
- interruptions from
- those damned sirens, Sir.
- 1350
- 01:39:23,860 --> 01:39:25,990
- Or the wretched dogs.
- 1351
- 01:39:27,230 --> 01:39:31,400
- Congrat... Congratulations.
- First Lord of the Admiralty.
- 1352
- 01:39:31,700 --> 01:39:32,430
- Your Majesty.
- 1353
- 01:39:36,420 --> 01:39:39,460
- The long... walk.
- 1354
- 01:39:42,250 --> 01:39:43,750
- Good luck, Sir.
- 1355
- 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:48,040
- I, too, dread this apparatus.
- 1356
- 01:39:49,750 --> 01:39:51,670
- Had a speech impediment
- myself, you know.
- 1357
- 01:39:53,150 --> 01:39:56,190
- - I didn't. - Family
- secret. Tongue-tied.
- 1358
- 01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:59,620
- An operation was considered
- to be too dangerous.
- 1359
- 01:39:59,670 --> 01:40:03,220
- I eventually made an asset of it.
- 1360
- 01:40:06,390 --> 01:40:08,540
- - Thank you, Mr Churchill.
- - Sir.
- 1361
- 01:40:09,420 --> 01:40:10,770
- Darling.
- 1362
- 01:40:10,890 --> 01:40:11,900
- How long, Logue?
- 1363
- 01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:13,990
- Just under three minutes, Sir.
- 1364
- 01:40:44,650 --> 01:40:47,050
- - Mr Wood.
- - Good luck, Your Majesty.
- 1365
- 01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:51,100
- Mr Wood.
- 1366
- 01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:53,700
- You'll be decorated, Logue.
- 1367
- 01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:55,160
- I made it cosy.
- 1368
- 01:40:57,410 --> 01:40:58,700
- Some fresh air.
- 1369
- 01:40:59,900 --> 01:41:01,910
- There you are, Darling.
- 1370
- 01:41:05,430 --> 01:41:07,240
- I'm thistle sifter, I've a sieve
- 1371
- 01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:10,180
- of sifted thistles and a
- sieve on unsifted thistles.
- 1372
- 01:41:10,230 --> 01:41:11,910
- I've a sieve of sifted thistles
- 1373
- 01:41:11,910 --> 01:41:14,510
- and a sieve on unsifted
- thistles, because I'm...
- 1374
- 01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:17,560
- Bertie, darling, make
- sure it's not switched on!
- 1375
- 01:41:18,410 --> 01:41:19,860
- Remember the red light
- will blink four times
- 1376
- 01:41:19,860 --> 01:41:22,090
- and then I've asked them to turn it off,
- 1377
- 01:41:22,140 --> 01:41:23,660
- because we don't want that
- 1378
- 01:41:23,660 --> 01:41:25,400
- evil eye staring at
- you all the way through.
- 1379
- 01:41:26,690 --> 01:41:28,190
- One minute, sir.
- 1380
- 01:41:30,780 --> 01:41:32,930
- I am sure you will be splendid.
- 1381
- 01:41:44,630 --> 01:41:46,480
- Fourty seconds, Sir.
- 1382
- 01:41:49,270 --> 01:41:53,150
- Logue, however this turns out,
- 1383
- 01:41:55,480 --> 01:41:58,580
- I don't know how to thank
- you for what you've done.
- 1384
- 01:42:01,730 --> 01:42:03,230
- Knighthood?
- 1385
- 01:42:07,950 --> 01:42:09,450
- Twenty seconds.
- 1386
- 01:42:15,550 --> 01:42:20,220
- Forget everything else
- and just say it to me.
- 1387
- 01:42:20,220 --> 01:42:22,910
- Say it to me, as a friend.
- 1388
- 01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:09,050
- In this grave hour,
- 1389
- 01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:21,220
- perhaps the most fateful in our history,
- 1390
- 01:43:24,470 --> 01:43:32,880
- I send to every household of my peoples,
- 1391
- 01:43:36,550 --> 01:43:37,830
- both at home...
- 1392
- 01:43:42,740 --> 01:43:43,940
- and overseas,
- 1393
- 01:43:54,330 --> 01:43:55,830
- this message...
- 1394
- 01:43:57,500 --> 01:44:01,440
- spoken with the same depth of feeling...
- 1395
- 01:44:02,700 --> 01:44:04,250
- for each one of you...
- 1396
- 01:44:05,140 --> 01:44:09,160
- as if I were able to
- cross your threshold...
- 1397
- 01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:13,810
- and speak to you myself.
- 1398
- 01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:22,140
- For the second time in
- the lives of most of us,
- 1399
- 01:44:23,130 --> 01:44:27,670
- we are at... at war.
- 1400
- 01:44:32,170 --> 01:44:36,140
- Over and over again,
- 1401
- 01:44:37,620 --> 01:44:40,460
- we have tried to find...
- 1402
- 01:44:43,100 --> 01:44:51,130
- a peaceful way out of the
- differences between ourselves...
- 1403
- 01:44:52,550 --> 01:45:00,180
- and those who are now our enemies.
- 1404
- 01:45:02,220 --> 01:45:05,410
- But it has been in vain.
- 1405
- 01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:11,000
- We have been forced into a conflict.
- 1406
- 01:45:12,370 --> 01:45:17,040
- For we are called, to meet
- the challenge of a principle
- 1407
- 01:45:18,420 --> 01:45:20,680
- which, if it were to prevail,
- 1408
- 01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:25,000
- would be fatal to any civilized order...
- 1409
- 01:45:26,430 --> 01:45:27,680
- in the world.
- 1410
- 01:45:29,110 --> 01:45:30,870
- Such a principle,
- 1411
- 01:45:32,190 --> 01:45:36,200
- stripped of all disguise,
- 1412
- 01:45:37,650 --> 01:45:40,240
- is surely the mere...
- 1413
- 01:45:44,130 --> 01:45:50,130
- primitive doctrine that might is right.
- 1414
- 01:45:52,130 --> 01:45:56,890
- For the sake of all that
- we ourselves hold dear,
- 1415
- 01:45:58,020 --> 01:46:08,100
- it is unthinkable that we should
- refuse to meet the challenge.
- 1416
- 01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:18,270
- It is to this high
- purpose that I now call...
- 1417
- 01:46:18,990 --> 01:46:26,100
- my people at home and my
- peoples across the seas,
- 1418
- 01:46:26,850 --> 01:46:31,470
- who will make our cause their own.
- 1419
- 01:46:32,220 --> 01:46:38,010
- I ask them to stand calm and firm,
- 1420
- 01:46:39,110 --> 01:46:43,020
- and united in this time of trial.
- 1421
- 01:46:44,150 --> 01:46:46,450
- The task will be hard.
- 1422
- 01:46:47,890 --> 01:46:51,440
- There may be dark days ahead,
- 1423
- 01:46:51,980 --> 01:46:59,250
- and war can no longer be
- confined to the battlefield.
- 1424
- 01:47:00,180 --> 01:47:04,940
- But we can only do the
- right as we see the right...
- 1425
- 01:47:06,010 --> 01:47:13,950
- and reverently commit our cause to God.
- 1426
- 01:47:16,380 --> 01:47:23,950
- If one and all we keep
- resolutely faithful to it,
- 1427
- 01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:29,150
- then, with God's help,
- 1428
- 01:47:31,150 --> 01:47:34,760
- we shall prevail.
- 1429
- 01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:51,700
- Very good, Bertie.
- 1430
- 01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:09,060
- You still stammered on the "w"?
- 1431
- 01:48:10,430 --> 01:48:13,810
- Had to throw in a few
- so they knew it was me.
- 1432
- 01:48:19,150 --> 01:48:22,200
- Congratulations, your
- Majesty. A true broadcaster.
- 1433
- 01:48:22,250 --> 01:48:23,800
- Thank you, Mr Wood.
- 1434
- 01:48:26,940 --> 01:48:29,040
- Congratulations, your Majesty.
- 1435
- 01:48:29,970 --> 01:48:32,770
- - Congratulations, your Majesty.
- - Thank you.
- 1436
- 01:48:43,700 --> 01:48:45,200
- Ready.
- 1437
- 01:48:46,090 --> 01:48:47,590
- - Good?
- - Perfect.
- 1438
- 01:48:49,330 --> 01:48:53,860
- Your first war time
- speech. Congratulations.
- 1439
- 01:48:55,320 --> 01:48:59,210
- Expect I shall have to
- do a great deal more.
- 1440
- 01:49:03,390 --> 01:49:04,890
- Thank you, Logue.
- 1441
- 01:49:14,390 --> 01:49:17,830
- Well done, my friend.
- 1442
- 01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:23,810
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- 1443
- 01:49:36,820 --> 01:49:38,470
- I knew you'd be good.
- 1444
- 01:49:47,830 --> 01:49:50,470
- Thank you, Lionel.
- 1445
- 01:49:54,150 --> 01:49:55,650
- Onwards?
- 1446
- 01:49:56,500 --> 01:49:58,370
- Congratulations, Sir.
- 1447
- 01:49:59,790 --> 01:50:01,810
- Almost did it better than myself, Sir.
- 1448
- 01:50:01,860 --> 01:50:04,600
- Your Majesty, I'm speechless.
- 1449
- 01:50:04,990 --> 01:50:06,670
- Congratulations, Sir.
- 1450
- 01:50:06,860 --> 01:50:07,970
- Gentlemen.
- 1451
- 01:50:08,770 --> 01:50:10,440
- Congratulations, your Majesty.
- 1452
- 01:50:10,490 --> 01:50:12,260
- So how was Papa, Elizabeth?
- 1453
- 01:50:14,590 --> 01:50:17,970
- Halting at first, but
- you got much better Papa.
- 1454
- 01:50:18,540 --> 01:50:19,640
- Bless you.
- 1455
- 01:50:20,770 --> 01:50:24,460
- - And how about you, Margaret?
- - You were just splendid, Papa.
- 1456
- 01:50:24,510 --> 01:50:25,930
- Of course I was.
- 1457
- 01:50:27,980 --> 01:50:29,480
- We all ready?
- 1458
- 01:50:30,210 --> 01:50:31,710
- Come on girls.
