1
00:01:39,317 --> 00:01:42,317
You are live in two minutes,
Your Royal Highness.

2
00:01:44,061 --> 00:01:45,253
Sir?

3
00:01:50,428 --> 00:01:51,428
Thank you.

4
00:01:55,215 --> 00:01:57,565
Let the microphone do the work, Sir.

5
00:01:59,368 --> 00:02:02,904
I'm sure you will be splendid.
Just take your time.

6
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,336
Time to go.

7
00:02:23,344 --> 00:02:25,000
Good afternoon.

8
00:02:25,450 --> 00:02:29,033
This is the BBC National
Programme and Empire Service

9
00:02:29,083 --> 00:02:34,344
taking you to Wembley Stadium
for the closing ceremony of the Empire Exhibition

10
00:02:34,345 --> 00:02:39,098
where His Royal Highness the Duke of York
will read a message from his father,

11
00:02:39,207 --> 00:02:42,158
His Majesty, King George V.

12
00:02:42,708 --> 00:02:46,110
Fifty eight British Colonies and Dominions
have taken part,

13
00:02:46,124 --> 00:02:49,704
making this the largest Exhibition
staged anywhere in the world.

14
00:02:49,861 --> 00:02:53,738
Remember Sir, three flashes.
Then steady red means you are live.

15
00:02:53,739 --> 00:02:56,290
Using the new invention of radio,

16
00:02:56,350 --> 00:02:59,447
the opening ceremony was the first time
his Majesty the King

17
00:02:59,487 --> 00:03:02,307
addressed his subjects
on the wireless.

18
00:03:02,418 --> 00:03:04,629
At the close of the first season,

19
00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:09,782
The heir to the throne, His Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales, made his first broadcast.

20
00:03:09,783 --> 00:03:14,410
And today,
his younger brother, His Royal Highness,

21
00:03:14,445 --> 00:03:19,793
the Duke of York will give his
inaugural broadcast to the Nation and the World.

22
00:04:24,198 --> 00:04:25,901
I have received...

23
00:04:34,622 --> 00:04:37,941
from his Majesty....th... th...

24
00:04:48,678 --> 00:04:49,678
th...

25
00:04:51,398 --> 00:04:52,398
th...

26
00:04:56,490 --> 00:04:58,017
...the King.

27
00:05:02,337 --> 00:05:03,337
a...

28
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:12,811
a...

29
00:05:23,485 --> 00:05:27,585
Inhale deep into your lungs.
Your Royal Highness.

30
00:05:29,246 --> 00:05:31,496
Relaxes your larynx, does it not?

31
00:05:32,169 --> 00:05:36,741
Cigarette smoking calms the nerves
and gives you confidence.

32
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:43,258
Now, if Your Highness will be very kind as
to open your hand.

33
00:05:52,311 --> 00:05:54,431
It's sterilized. One...

34
00:05:54,785 --> 00:05:55,785
two...

35
00:05:56,586 --> 00:06:00,776
three, four, five...

36
00:06:01,958 --> 00:06:04,358
six, seven.

37
00:06:04,589 --> 00:06:06,098
Now, if I may take the liberty.

38
00:06:06,148 --> 00:06:08,298
Insert them into your mouth.

39
00:06:10,371 --> 00:06:12,750
Excuse me, Doctor.
What is the purpose of this?

40
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,988
It's the classic approach,
it cured Demosthenes.

41
00:06:17,023 --> 00:06:18,948
That was in Ancient Greece...uh

42
00:06:18,998 --> 00:06:20,598
Has it worked since?

43
00:06:22,431 --> 00:06:25,944
Now,
if you would be so kind as to read...

44
00:06:26,750 --> 00:06:28,327
A Wealth of Words.

45
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:38,959
Fight against those marbles,
Your Royal Highness.

46
00:06:41,654 --> 00:06:42,999
Enunciate!

47
00:06:46,711 --> 00:06:49,611
A little more concentration
your Royal Highness.

48
00:06:54,091 --> 00:06:55,794
I nearly swallowed
the bloody things!

49
00:06:55,844 --> 00:06:58,287
Thank you so much, Doctor,

50
00:06:58,322 --> 00:07:01,485
it�s been most...hmm
interesting.

51
00:07:02,185 --> 00:07:03,185
Your Royal Highness.

52
00:07:06,184 --> 00:07:07,849
Insert marbles!

53
00:07:07,884 --> 00:07:10,561
He can insert his own bloody marbles!

54
00:07:16,954 --> 00:07:18,704
Tick, tock, tick, tock.

55
00:07:21,305 --> 00:07:24,055
You know,
you can�t keep doing this, Bertie.

56
00:07:26,537 --> 00:07:27,537
I know.

57
00:07:31,529 --> 00:07:33,009
Promise me...

58
00:07:34,533 --> 00:07:36,373
Promise me no more.

59
00:09:04,706 --> 00:09:07,194
Hello.
Is anyone there?

60
00:09:07,195 --> 00:09:09,004
I�m just in the loo.

61
00:09:19,849 --> 00:09:21,899
Ah, Mrs.Johnson
There you are.

62
00:09:23,106 --> 00:09:25,256
I�m sorry I don't have a receptionist.
I like to keep things simple.

63
00:09:25,306 --> 00:09:28,848
�Poor and content
is rich and rich enough�

64
00:09:28,849 --> 00:09:32,109
Sorry?
Shakespeare. How are you?

65
00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:35,004
How do you do?

66
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:36,203
Troughing along.

67
00:09:36,253 --> 00:09:40,013
Now, this is slightly awkward,
but I�m afraid you�re late.

68
00:09:41,114 --> 00:09:43,496
Yes,
I�m afraid I am.

69
00:09:43,497 --> 00:09:44,448
Where�s Mr Johnson?

70
00:09:44,498 --> 00:09:47,651
He doesn�t know I�m here.

71
00:09:47,686 --> 00:09:49,930
That�s not a very promising start.

72
00:09:50,648 --> 00:09:51,748
No.

73
00:09:52,074 --> 00:09:53,074
No, look, umm...

74
00:09:53,788 --> 00:09:58,410
My husband has seen everyone to no avail.
I'm awefully afraid he�s given up hope.

75
00:09:58,411 --> 00:09:59,362
He hasn�t seen me.

76
00:09:59,412 --> 00:10:01,943
You're awfully sure of yourself.

77
00:10:01,978 --> 00:10:04,606
Well,
I�m sure of anyone who wants to be cured.

78
00:10:04,656 --> 00:10:05,607
Of course, he wants to be cured.

79
00:10:05,997 --> 00:10:08,259
My husband is, umm..

80
00:10:08,271 --> 00:10:10,511
he's required to speak publicly.

81
00:10:10,650 --> 00:10:12,601
Perhaps he should change jobs.

82
00:10:12,951 --> 00:10:14,011
He can�t.

83
00:10:14,446 --> 00:10:16,565
Indentured servitude?

84
00:10:16,566 --> 00:10:18,416
Something of that nature, yes.

85
00:10:20,197 --> 00:10:22,116
Well, we need to have your hubby pop by...

86
00:10:22,166 --> 00:10:25,493
Uh..Tuesday would be good...

87
00:10:25,528 --> 00:10:30,130
He can give me his personal details and
I�ll make a frank appraisal and then we'll take it from there.

88
00:10:30,180 --> 00:10:31,131
Doctor, forgive me.

89
00:10:31,181 --> 00:10:34,228
I don't have a �hubby�.
We don�t �pop�.

90
00:10:34,263 --> 00:10:37,421
and nor do we ever talk about our private lives.

91
00:10:37,456 --> 00:10:40,181
No, you... must come to us.

92
00:10:40,182 --> 00:10:43,952
I'm sorry, Mrs Johnson,
my game, my turf, my rules.

93
00:10:43,987 --> 00:10:48,765
You'll have to talk this over this with your husband
and then you can speak to me on the telephone.

94
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:52,399
Thank you very much for dropping by.
Good afternoon.

95
00:10:56,277 --> 00:10:57,774
And what if my husband were the Duke of York?

96
00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:59,533
The Duke of York?

97
00:10:59,568 --> 00:11:02,438
Yes...
the Duke of York.

98
00:11:13,574 --> 00:11:16,662
I thought the appointment was for Johnson.
Forgive me, your ...?

99
00:11:16,712 --> 00:11:18,469
...Royal Highness.
Royal Highness.

100
00:11:18,490 --> 00:11:20,531
Johnson was used during the Great War,

101
00:11:20,601 --> 00:11:23,168
when the Navy didn�t want the enemy
to know he was aboard.

102
00:11:23,169 --> 00:11:25,347
Am I considered the enemy?

103
00:11:25,382 --> 00:11:28,027
You will be,
if you remain unobliging.

104
00:11:29,295 --> 00:11:32,095
You will appreciate the need for absolute discretion.

105
00:11:32,232 --> 00:11:33,551
Of course.

106
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,363
How did you find me, your Royal Highness?

107
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,675
The President of the Society of Speech Therapists.

108
00:11:40,710 --> 00:11:43,236
Eileen McCleod?
She�s a sport.

109
00:11:43,271 --> 00:11:48,525
She warned me your antipodean methods
were unorthodox and controversial.

110
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:52,093
I warned her
those were not my favorite words.

111
00:11:52,128 --> 00:11:57,359
I can cure your husband. But for my
method to work I need trust and total equality.

112
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,734
Here, in the safety of my consultation room.

113
00:12:02,190 --> 00:12:03,606
No exceptions.

114
00:12:05,535 --> 00:12:07,435
Oh well, in that case...

115
00:12:15,751 --> 00:12:17,301
When can you start?

116
00:12:26,370 --> 00:12:28,027
She still sounds a little bit rough, mate.

117
00:12:28,077 --> 00:12:29,908
You make me drive too slowly, Dad!

118
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:31,922
Did you pick mum up from bridge?

119
00:12:31,972 --> 00:12:33,714
Yes, I�ve hardly been out of the car all day.

120
00:12:33,764 --> 00:12:37,067
I had a special visitor this afternoon.

121
00:12:37,068 --> 00:12:39,900
May I please leave this table
How special is special?

122
00:12:39,950 --> 00:12:43,708
No, you must stay bored stupid and listen to your
parents� inane conversation.

123
00:12:43,758 --> 00:12:45,473
Thanks Dad.
And Mum...
And Mum.

124
00:12:45,523 --> 00:12:47,606
Me too.
Are you meeting Jean?

125
00:12:47,641 --> 00:12:49,974
No, someone else.

126
00:12:51,308 --> 00:12:54,055
Doctor? Doctor?

127
00:12:54,064 --> 00:12:55,800
Go and help
your brother with the washing up.

128
00:12:55,900 --> 00:12:57,363
I�m fine.

129
00:12:57,398 --> 00:12:58,856
Who is it Lionel?

130
00:12:58,867 --> 00:13:01,656
Why bring it up
if you can�t talk about it?

131
00:13:02,857 --> 00:13:06,650
Myrtle, it's just a woman
looking to help her husband.

132
00:13:06,685 --> 00:13:08,346
Oh, and I had a call

133
00:13:08,396 --> 00:13:10,266
for an audition.

134
00:13:10,267 --> 00:13:13,111
One of my favorites.
Aren't they all?

135
00:13:13,146 --> 00:13:14,996
It could be a lot of fun.

136
00:13:15,940 --> 00:13:17,157
I'm sure you'll be splendid.

137
00:13:17,207 --> 00:13:19,820
In the amateur scene
they�re a highly regarded group.

138
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:22,940
From Putney.

139
00:13:24,292 --> 00:13:26,188
Tomorrow, Chapter IV:
The Flight.

140
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:29,593
But, Mama, I long to know where they fly to...

141
00:13:29,805 --> 00:13:31,684
Oh, I can't wait!
Oh, to fly away!

142
00:13:31,734 --> 00:13:33,284
Aren�t they lucky!

143
00:13:34,450 --> 00:13:36,466
Now Papa tell a story!

144
00:13:40,490 --> 00:13:42,640
Couldn't I be a penguin instead?

145
00:13:45,728 --> 00:13:49,618
Now I want to hear a penguin story.

146
00:13:52,630 --> 00:13:53,630
Very quickly.

147
00:13:57,156 --> 00:14:00,092
Once, there were two princesses...

148
00:14:00,127 --> 00:14:03,236
Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret.

149
00:14:03,271 --> 00:14:05,899
whose Papa was a penguin.

150
00:14:08,988 --> 00:14:13,718
This was because he'd been
turned into one by a wicked witch.

151
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,337
This was very
inconvenient for him because he loved..

152
00:14:19,227 --> 00:14:21,856
to hold his princesses in his arms...

153
00:14:21,857 --> 00:14:24,008
but you can�t if you're a penguin because you...

154
00:14:24,992 --> 00:14:26,792
you don't have wings like herrings

155
00:14:26,829 --> 00:14:29,601
Herrings don�t have wings.

156
00:14:29,602 --> 00:14:33,847
Penguins have wings
which are shaped like herrings'.

157
00:14:36,062 --> 00:14:37,525
And what made matters worse...

158
00:14:37,575 --> 00:14:41,208
is that she sent him to the South Pole,

159
00:14:41,209 --> 00:14:43,630
which is an awfully long walk back...

160
00:14:45,733 --> 00:14:47,446
if you can�t fly.

161
00:14:47,481 --> 00:14:49,799
So when he reached the water,

162
00:14:49,834 --> 00:14:52,566
he dived in through the depths, so fast...

163
00:14:52,567 --> 00:14:55,651
that he was in Southampton
waters by lunchtime.

164
00:14:55,652 --> 00:14:59,586
And from there,
he took the 2.30 to Weybridge,

165
00:14:59,621 --> 00:15:06,161
changed at Clapham Junction, asked
a passing Mallard the way to Buckingham Palace.

166
00:15:06,162 --> 00:15:09,296
He swam up the Thames,
out through the plughole,

167
00:15:09,297 --> 00:15:10,248
and gave the cook,

168
00:15:10,298 --> 00:15:14,207
Mama and Mrs Whittaker quite a shock.

169
00:15:14,208 --> 00:15:17,458
Now when the girls heard all the commotions,

170
00:15:17,493 --> 00:15:21,747
they ran to the kitchen where
they gave him a good scrub,

171
00:15:21,748 --> 00:15:24,033
a mackerel and a kiss.

172
00:15:24,034 --> 00:15:25,996
And as they kissed him,

173
00:15:27,878 --> 00:15:29,479
guess what he turned in to?

174
00:15:29,529 --> 00:15:31,245
A handsome prince.

175
00:15:31,246 --> 00:15:33,609
A short-tailed albatross.

176
00:15:33,610 --> 00:15:36,339
With wings so big

177
00:15:36,374 --> 00:15:41,146
that he could wrap them both around
his two girls together.

178
00:15:41,147 --> 00:15:44,113
Now, girls... time for bed.
Come on.

179
00:15:44,315 --> 00:15:47,635
And take those horses to the stable?
Fifty-nine...you have exactly a minute.

180
00:15:47,684 --> 00:15:50,674
Good night.
Feed them fast and then to bed.

181
00:15:52,224 --> 00:15:53,294
Will Mrs Simpson be there?

182
00:15:53,844 --> 00:15:56,075
My brother�s insisting.

183
00:15:56,810 --> 00:15:58,598
Is this serious?

184
00:16:00,609 --> 00:16:02,050
About her coming to dinner?

185
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:03,737
No. About her!

186
00:16:06,784 --> 00:16:08,480
A married woman? He can�t be.

187
00:16:08,530 --> 00:16:09,481
She can.

188
00:16:10,532 --> 00:16:13,513
By the way, I think I found someone
rather interesting.

189
00:16:13,848 --> 00:16:15,165
On Harley Street. A doctor.

190
00:16:15,215 --> 00:16:16,166
Out of the question.

191
00:16:17,216 --> 00:16:20,973
I�m not having this conversation again.
The matter's settled.

192
00:16:20,974 --> 00:16:23,624
His approach seems rather different....

193
00:16:26,359 --> 00:16:27,342
Now?

194
00:16:28,577 --> 00:16:29,780
Now.

195
00:16:37,503 --> 00:16:39,886
Now is the winter of our discontent,

196
00:16:39,936 --> 00:16:44,650
Made glorious summer
by this sun of York".

197
00:16:44,651 --> 00:16:47,792
And all the clouds
that lour�d upon our house

198
00:16:47,827 --> 00:16:50,392
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

199
00:16:50,393 --> 00:16:55,190
Now are our brows,
bound with victorious wreaths.

200
00:16:55,191 --> 00:16:56,391
Thank you!

201
00:16:59,572 --> 00:17:01,556
Lovely diction Mr...?

202
00:17:01,591 --> 00:17:03,332
Logue. Lionel Logue.

203
00:17:03,333 --> 00:17:04,783
Well, Mr. Logue.

204
00:17:06,589 --> 00:17:11,716
I'm not hearing the cries of a deformed
creature yearning to be King.

205
00:17:11,717 --> 00:17:16,823
Nor did I realize Richard the Third
was King of the Colonies.

206
00:17:20,489 --> 00:17:23,442
I do know all the lines.
I�ve played the role before.

207
00:17:23,492 --> 00:17:25,138
Sydney?
Perth.

208
00:17:25,139 --> 00:17:28,577
Major theater town, is it?

209
00:17:28,612 --> 00:17:30,151
Enthusiastic.

210
00:17:30,152 --> 00:17:33,018
Ah.
I was well reviewed.

211
00:17:35,507 --> 00:17:39,131
Yes...
Well... Lionel,

212
00:17:39,132 --> 00:17:43,021
I think our dramatic society,

213
00:17:43,022 --> 00:17:47,837
is looking for someone slightly younger
and...

214
00:17:50,149 --> 00:17:51,649
a little more regal.

215
00:18:03,043 --> 00:18:05,083
No, you have to shut that one first.

216
00:18:05,484 --> 00:18:08,004
Close that one first?
That's it.

217
00:18:10,094 --> 00:18:12,244
Where did you find this... physician?

218
00:18:12,294 --> 00:18:13,245
Classifieds,

219
00:18:13,295 --> 00:18:15,747
next to �French model,
Shepherd�s Market�.

220
00:18:16,497 --> 00:18:18,170
He comes highly recommended.

221
00:18:18,271 --> 00:18:20,248
Charges substantial fees
to help the poor.

222
00:18:20,298 --> 00:18:22,598
Oh dear,
perhaps he�s a Bolshevik?!

223
00:18:26,149 --> 00:18:29,099
There's no receptionist.
He likes to keep things simple.

224
00:18:31,668 --> 00:18:34,446
Hmmm... The Johnsons.

225
00:18:46,241 --> 00:18:48,712
You can go in now, Mr. Johnson.

226
00:18:49,677 --> 00:18:51,193
Lionel says...

227
00:18:51,368 --> 00:18:54,760
wait here if you wish, Mrs Johnson.

228
00:18:54,810 --> 00:18:57,386
Or, it being a...

229
00:18:59,821 --> 00:19:01,827
pleasant day,

230
00:19:04,848 --> 00:19:07,600
p-perhaps take a stroll.

231
00:19:09,082 --> 00:19:11,515
Was that all right, Lionel?

232
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,264
Marvelous! Willy.
You can stay here and wait for your mom.

233
00:19:20,098 --> 00:19:21,418
Mrs Johnson...

234
00:19:22,794 --> 00:19:24,619
Mr Johnson, do come in.

235
00:19:44,112 --> 00:19:45,412
Relax, sweetie.

236
00:19:46,169 --> 00:19:47,547
He�s a good lad, Willy.

237
00:19:47,597 --> 00:19:51,075
He could hardly make a sound, you know,
when he first came to me.

238
00:20:00,091 --> 00:20:02,041
My boys made those.
They're good, aren�t they?

239
00:20:03,988 --> 00:20:06,238
Please make yourself comfortable.

240
00:20:22,619 --> 00:20:24,819
I was told not to sit too close.

241
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:34,756
Well I believe when speaking with a Prince,

242
00:20:34,806 --> 00:20:37,556
one waits for the prince to choose the topic.

243
00:20:43,443 --> 00:20:47,491
Waiting for me to...
commence

244
00:20:47,492 --> 00:20:51,863
a conversation ..
one can wait a rather a  long wait.

245
00:21:00,368 --> 00:21:02,121
Do you know any jokes?

246
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,920
Timing isn�t my strong suit.

247
00:21:13,790 --> 00:21:14,972
Cup of tea?

248
00:21:15,007 --> 00:21:16,902
No, thank you.

249
00:21:17,214 --> 00:21:18,414
I think I'll have one.

250
00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:33,964
Aren�t you going to start treating me,
Dr Logue?

251
00:21:34,014 --> 00:21:37,073
Only if you�re interested in being treated.

252
00:21:37,108 --> 00:21:40,728
Please,
call me Lionel.

253
00:21:43,864 --> 00:21:44,977
I prefer Doctor.

254
00:21:45,027 --> 00:21:49,240
I prefer Lionel.
What�ll I call you?

255
00:21:49,241 --> 00:21:55,057
Your Royal Highness.
Then Sir after that.

256
00:21:55,092 --> 00:21:58,658
It's a little bit formal for here.
I prefer names.

257
00:21:59,593 --> 00:22:05,018
Prince Albert... Frederick Arthur
George.

258
00:22:05,053 --> 00:22:07,361
How about Bertie?

259
00:22:11,082 --> 00:22:12,754
Only my family uses that.

260
00:22:12,804 --> 00:22:17,193
Perfect.
In here, it�s better if we�re equals.

261
00:22:22,501 --> 00:22:26,204
If we were equals I wouldn�t be
here.

262
00:22:29,089 --> 00:22:31,472
I�d be at home with my wife

263
00:22:31,507 --> 00:22:33,568
and no one would give a damn.

264
00:22:33,569 --> 00:22:36,007
Please, don�t do that.

265
00:22:36,442 --> 00:22:37,694
I'm sorry?

266
00:22:37,729 --> 00:22:41,349
I believe, sucking smoke
into your lungs will kill you.

267
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:45,787
My physicians say
it relaxes the throat.

268
00:22:45,822 --> 00:22:47,099
They�re idiots.

269
00:22:47,149 --> 00:22:48,555
They�ve all been knighted.

270
00:22:48,605 --> 00:22:50,507
Makes it official then.

271
00:22:53,403 --> 00:22:55,103
My castle, my rules.

272
00:22:59,290 --> 00:23:00,290
Thank you.

273
00:23:02,492 --> 00:23:04,592
What was your earliest memory?

274
00:23:05,875 --> 00:23:07,306
What on earth do you mean?

275
00:23:07,356 --> 00:23:08,307
Your first recollection.

276
00:23:08,357 --> 00:23:09,457
I'm not...

277
00:23:12,751 --> 00:23:15,007
here to discuss personal matters.

278
00:23:15,057 --> 00:23:16,328
Why are you here then?

279
00:23:16,378 --> 00:23:17,502
Because I bloody well stammer!

280
00:23:19,452 --> 00:23:21,254
You have a bit of a temper?

281
00:23:21,289 --> 00:23:23,117
One of my many faults.

282
00:23:24,653 --> 00:23:26,028
When did the defect start?

283
00:23:26,078 --> 00:23:27,029
I've always been this way!

284
00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:28,030
I doubt that.

285
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,345
Don�t tell me! It�s my stammer!

286
00:23:32,346 --> 00:23:33,297
Its my field.

287
00:23:33,347 --> 00:23:36,976
I can assure you,
no infant starts to speak with a stammer.

288
00:23:37,011 --> 00:23:38,878
When did yours start?

289
00:23:41,102 --> 00:23:42,255
Four or five.

290
00:23:42,305 --> 00:23:43,783
That's typical.

291
00:23:43,818 --> 00:23:45,981
So I�ve been told.

292
00:23:46,016 --> 00:23:48,846
I can�t remember not doing it.

293
00:23:48,881 --> 00:23:53,684
I can believe that. Do you hesitate
when you think?

294
00:23:53,719 --> 00:23:55,380
Don�t be ridiculous.

295
00:23:55,381 --> 00:23:57,731
How about
when you talk to yourself?

296
00:23:59,657 --> 00:24:01,794
Everyone natters to themselves occasionally, Bertie.

297
00:24:01,844 --> 00:24:03,497
Stop calling me that!

298
00:24:03,532 --> 00:24:05,298
I�m not going to call you anything
else.

299
00:24:05,348 --> 00:24:06,998
Then we shan�t speak!

300
00:24:22,592 --> 00:24:24,892
Are you charging for this, Doctor?

301
00:24:27,464 --> 00:24:28,624
A fortune.

302
00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:36,508
I'll just let that brew.

303
00:24:38,338 --> 00:24:41,847
So, when you
talk to yourself, do you stammer?

304
00:24:45,137 --> 00:24:46,330
Of course not!

305
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:50,669
Well, that proves your impediment isn�t
a permanent part of you.

306
00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:52,820
What do
you think was the cause?

307
00:24:53,459 --> 00:24:54,898
I don't know.

308
00:24:56,423 --> 00:24:59,894
I don�t care!
I stammer!

309
00:25:03,471 --> 00:25:04,565
No one can fix it.

310
00:25:04,615 --> 00:25:08,601
I'll bet you that you can read
flawlessly, right here, right now.

311
00:25:08,602 --> 00:25:12,511
And if I win the bet,
I get to ask you more questions.

312
00:25:12,546 --> 00:25:13,944
And if I win?

313
00:25:13,979 --> 00:25:15,929
Then you don�t have to answer.

314
00:25:16,639 --> 00:25:19,934
One usually... wagers money.

315
00:25:19,969 --> 00:25:21,951
A bob each to keep it sweet?

316
00:25:21,952 --> 00:25:24,370
Let's see your shilling?

317
00:25:24,405 --> 00:25:27,802
I don�t... carry money.

318
00:25:27,837 --> 00:25:29,984
I had a funny feeling you mightn�t.

319
00:25:30,034 --> 00:25:33,579
I'll stake you.
You can pay me back next time.

320
00:25:33,614 --> 00:25:35,235
Who says there is a next time?

321
00:25:35,285 --> 00:25:37,785
I haven�t agreed
to take you on yet.

322
00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:45,358
Please stand
and take a look at that...

323
00:25:45,655 --> 00:25:46,655
From there.

324
00:25:51,709 --> 00:25:54,196
I can�t read this.

325
00:25:54,231 --> 00:25:56,981
Well, then you owe me a shilling
for not trying.

326
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:14,477
�To be...
or not to be....That...

327
00:26:19,437 --> 00:26:20,687
I can�t read!

328
00:26:22,382 --> 00:26:24,132
I haven�t finished yet.

329
00:26:33,501 --> 00:26:37,232
I�m going to record your voice and
then play it back to you on the same machine.

330
00:26:37,282 --> 00:26:38,694
This is brilliant.

331
00:26:38,744 --> 00:26:41,944
It�s the latest thing from America.
It's a Silvertone.

332
00:26:54,977 --> 00:26:56,408
Pop these on?

333
00:26:58,536 --> 00:27:01,586
There�s a bob in this, mate. You
can go home rich!

334
00:27:10,464 --> 00:27:12,543
You�re playing music.
I know.

335
00:27:12,593 --> 00:27:14,987
So how can I hear what I�m saying?!

336
00:27:15,022 --> 00:27:18,034
Surely a Prince�s brain knows what
its mouth is doing?

337
00:27:18,884 --> 00:27:22,330
You�re not well acquainted with
Royal Princes, are you?

338
00:27:59,195 --> 00:28:01,227
Hopeless.
Hopeless!

339
00:28:04,523 --> 00:28:09,691
You were sublime. Would I lie to a
Prince of the realm to win twelve pennies?

340
00:28:09,726 --> 00:28:14,378
I�ve no idea what an Australian
might do for that sort of money.

341
00:28:14,413 --> 00:28:16,363
Let me play it back to you.

342
00:28:17,953 --> 00:28:18,937
No.

343
00:28:18,938 --> 00:28:21,259
All right then,
I get to ask you the questions.

344
00:28:21,309 --> 00:28:22,260
Thank you, Doctor.

345
00:28:22,310 --> 00:28:26,138
I don't feel..
this is for me.

346
00:28:31,377 --> 00:28:34,785
Thank you for your time.
Bye.

347
00:28:37,247 --> 00:28:38,575
Sir?

348
00:28:44,327 --> 00:28:45,720
The recording is free.

349
00:28:45,770 --> 00:28:48,111
Please keep it as a souvenir.

350
00:29:02,044 --> 00:29:03,044
No.

351
00:29:09,168 --> 00:29:10,168
Oh, well.

352
00:29:14,275 --> 00:29:15,275
Bugger.

353
00:29:20,831 --> 00:29:23,776
For the present, the work to which
we are all equally bound,

354
00:29:23,826 --> 00:29:26,926
is to arrive at a reasoned
tranquility...

355
00:29:26,961 --> 00:29:34,271
...within our borders, to regain
prosperity at this time of depression without self-seeking

356
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:42,683
and to carry with us those whom the
burden of the past years has disheartened or overborne.

357
00:29:42,718 --> 00:29:45,371
To all, to each,

358
00:29:45,406 --> 00:29:49,954
I wish a Happy Christmas.
God bless you.

359
00:29:57,237 --> 00:29:58,987
Easy when you know how.

360
00:29:59,147 --> 00:30:00,147
Sir.

361
00:30:08,820 --> 00:30:09,805
Have a go yourself.

362
00:30:09,855 --> 00:30:11,390
Congratulations, Sir.

363
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,461
Ah, Mr Wood.

364
00:30:12,511 --> 00:30:17,997
Splendid fellow. Chap taught me everything I know.
Let the microphone do the work.

365
00:30:19,404 --> 00:30:20,404
Thank you.

366
00:30:22,333 --> 00:30:23,933
Sit up,
straight back,

367
00:30:23,983 --> 00:30:27,438
face boldly up to the bloody thing
and stare it square in the eye,

368
00:30:27,488 --> 00:30:29,117
as you would any decent Englishman.

369
00:30:29,167 --> 00:30:30,740
Show who�s in command.

370
00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:34,290
Papa, I don�t...
think I can read this.

371
00:30:34,291 --> 00:30:37,480
This devilish device will change
everything if you don�t.

372
00:30:37,530 --> 00:30:42,728
In the past all a King had to do was look
respectable in uniform and not fall off his horse.

373
00:30:42,763 --> 00:30:46,713
Now we must invade people�s homes
and ingratiate ourselves with them.

374
00:30:46,763 --> 00:30:51,248
This family has been reduced to those lowest,
basest of all creatures...

375
00:30:51,283 --> 00:30:53,375
we�ve become actors.

376
00:30:53,376 --> 00:30:56,370
We�re not a family,
we�re a firm.

377
00:30:56,371 --> 00:30:59,204
Yet at any moment,
some of us may be out of work.

378
00:30:59,254 --> 00:31:02,244
Your darling brother,
and future king!

379
00:31:02,245 --> 00:31:06,725
The only wife he appears interested in
is invariably the wife of another!

380
00:31:06,726 --> 00:31:09,171
He�s broken off with Lady Furness.

381
00:31:09,172 --> 00:31:10,123
And taken up a Mrs Simpson,

382
00:31:10,173 --> 00:31:12,898
a woman
with two husbands living!

383
00:31:12,899 --> 00:31:17,583
I told him straight,
no divorced person could ever be received at court.

384
00:31:17,584 --> 00:31:21,718
He said
it made him sublimely happy.

385
00:31:21,719 --> 00:31:26,177
I imagined that was because she was
sleeping with him.

386
00:31:26,212 --> 00:31:29,800
I give you my word...
this is what he said. I give you my word

387
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:32,468
we�ve never had immoral relations.

388
00:31:32,708 --> 00:31:36,869
Stared square into his father�s face...
and lied!

389
00:31:36,904 --> 00:31:41,502
When I�m dead that boy will ruin
himself, this family, and this nation, within twelve months.

390
00:31:41,552 --> 00:31:42,966
Who�ll pick up the pieces?

391
00:31:43,016 --> 00:31:47,829
Herr Hitler, intimidating half of Europe?
Marshall Stalin the other half?

392
00:31:47,830 --> 00:31:54,634
Who will stand between us, the
jackboots, and the proletarian abyss?

393
00:31:56,425 --> 00:31:57,625
You?

394
00:32:02,282 --> 00:32:07,382
With your older brother shirking his duties,
you�re going to have to do a lot more of this.

395
00:32:09,041 --> 00:32:10,791
Have a go yourself.

396
00:32:16,021 --> 00:32:17,021
Through the...

397
00:32:19,462 --> 00:32:20,462
wireless...

398
00:32:20,500 --> 00:32:21,271
Get it out boy!

399
00:32:21,321 --> 00:32:27,195
one of the... marvels of...

400
00:32:27,230 --> 00:32:31,739
Modern. Just take your time.
Form your words carefully.

401
00:32:31,774 --> 00:32:38,634
science, I am enabled...
Relax!

402
00:32:42,870 --> 00:32:44,070
Just try it!

403
00:32:44,156 --> 00:32:45,156
this Christmas Day...

404
00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:49,630
to speak to all my...

405
00:32:52,006 --> 00:32:53,021
Do it!

406
00:33:07,137 --> 00:33:09,657
Lying... bastard.

407
00:33:29,352 --> 00:33:31,032
You're playing music. I know.

408
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,600
So how can I hear what I'm saying?

409
00:33:34,616 --> 00:33:37,566
Surely a Prince�s brain knows what
its mouth is doing?

410
00:33:37,578 --> 00:33:41,778
You're not well acquainted
with Royal Princes, are you?

411
00:33:51,702 --> 00:33:54,751
To be, or not to be, that is the question:

412
00:33:54,752 --> 00:34:01,245
...whether 'tis nobler in the mind
to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

413
00:34:01,246 --> 00:34:07,446
Or to take arms against a sea of
troubles, and by opposing, end them..�

414
00:34:07,447 --> 00:34:11,262
..to die...
to sleep; no more.."

415
00:34:11,815 --> 00:34:17,785
and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks

416
00:34:17,795 --> 00:34:21,825
the flesh is heir to...
'Tis a consummation...

417
00:34:21,963 --> 00:34:24,903
Hopeless! Hopeless

418
00:34:26,749 --> 00:34:27,976
Strictly business.

419
00:34:28,026 --> 00:34:32,966
No... personal nonsense.

420
00:34:32,967 --> 00:34:35,178
I thought I�d made that clear
in our interview.

421
00:34:35,228 --> 00:34:37,018
Have you got the shilling you owe me?

422
00:34:37,068 --> 00:34:38,697
No I haven�t!

423
00:34:38,732 --> 00:34:40,233
Didn�t think so.

424
00:34:40,234 --> 00:34:43,163
Besides,
you tricked me!

425
00:34:43,198 --> 00:34:45,912
Physical excercises and tricks are important...

426
00:34:45,962 --> 00:34:48,697
but what you�re asking will only deal
with the surface of the problem.

427
00:34:48,747 --> 00:34:50,487
Well that's sufficient.

428
00:34:50,488 --> 00:34:53,465
No, as far as I see it, my husband...

429
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:56,693
has mechanical difficulties with his speech.

430
00:34:56,728 --> 00:34:59,462
Maybe just deal with that.

431
00:35:03,603 --> 00:35:07,306
I�m willing to work hard, Doctor Logue...
Lionel.

432
00:35:07,341 --> 00:35:11,795
Are you..
are you willing to do your part?

433
00:35:15,443 --> 00:35:17,148
All right.
You want mechanics?

434
00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:20,627
We need to relax your jaw muscles,
strengthen your tongue.

435
00:35:20,677 --> 00:35:23,308
By repeating tongue twisters, for example.

436
00:35:23,358 --> 00:35:27,652
I am a thistle-sifter. I have a sieve of sifted thistles
and a sieve of unsifted thistles.

437
00:35:27,702 --> 00:35:29,362
Because I am a thistle sifter.�

438
00:35:29,412 --> 00:35:30,412
Fine!

439
00:35:30,413 --> 00:35:35,139
You do have a flabby tummy, so we need
to spend some time strengthening your diaphragm.

440
00:35:35,174 --> 00:35:36,429
Simple mechanics.

441
00:35:36,479 --> 00:35:37,444
That's all we ask.

442
00:35:37,494 --> 00:35:38,620
And that�s about a shilling�s worth.

443
00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:40,970
Forget about the blessed shilling!

444
00:35:54,515 --> 00:35:57,459
Perhaps, upon occasion,

445
00:35:57,460 --> 00:36:07,834
you might be requested
to assist in coping with some minor event.

446
00:36:07,869 --> 00:36:09,530
Will that agreeable?

447
00:36:09,565 --> 00:36:11,427
Of course.

448
00:36:13,587 --> 00:36:15,491
That would be the full extent of your services.

449
00:36:15,541 --> 00:36:17,276
Shall I see you next week?

450
00:36:17,326 --> 00:36:19,402
I shall see you every day.

451
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:25,313
Ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahah.

452
00:36:25,314 --> 00:36:27,364
Feel the looseness of the jaw

453
00:36:30,774 --> 00:36:34,374
Little bounces, bounces.
Shoulders.

454
00:36:34,717 --> 00:36:36,417
Good. Good.

455
00:36:36,538 --> 00:36:37,538
Now loose.

456
00:36:42,124 --> 00:36:44,874
Take a nice deep breath.
Expand the chest...

457
00:36:45,007 --> 00:36:46,660
Put your hands onto your ribs.

458
00:36:47,691 --> 00:36:48,691
Deeper. Good.

459
00:36:50,407 --> 00:36:51,346
How do you feel?

460
00:36:52,496 --> 00:36:53,504
Full of hot air.

461
00:36:53,539 --> 00:36:55,749
Isn�t that what public speaking is all about?

462
00:36:55,758 --> 00:36:57,508
My wife and I...

463
00:36:57,521 --> 00:37:00,951
are glad to visit this important...

464
00:37:02,088 --> 00:37:05,378
Take a deep breath,
and up comes Your Royal Highness

465
00:37:05,385 --> 00:37:09,655
and slowly exhale,
and down comes Your Royal Highness.

466
00:37:10,631 --> 00:37:11,536
Are you all right, Bertie?

467
00:37:11,586 --> 00:37:13,786
This is actually quite good fun,

468
00:37:14,078 --> 00:37:17,048
Mmmmm-other
Shorten the humming each time.

469
00:37:17,395 --> 00:37:18,395
Mmmm...
Mother.
Mmmm...

470
00:37:19,517 --> 00:37:22,057
Mmm-anufacturing a district

471
00:37:22,089 --> 00:37:24,500
Now a deep breath and...
Jack and Jill...

472
00:37:24,503 --> 00:37:25,503
Jack and Jill...

473
00:37:25,674 --> 00:37:27,854
went up the hill.
Went up the hill...

474
00:37:28,173 --> 00:37:29,173
Now just sway.

475
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:31,014
Perfect.

476
00:37:31,888 --> 00:37:34,508
Will not permit us to...

477
00:37:34,737 --> 00:37:35,737
Loosen the shoulders.

478
00:37:36,154 --> 00:37:38,614
Ding-dong bell
What is in the well?

479
00:37:38,803 --> 00:37:41,903
Who put her in?
Little Tomly Tim.

480
00:37:45,446 --> 00:37:47,446
You have a short memory, Bertie.
Come on.

481
00:37:50,338 --> 00:37:51,838
A cow.. a cow... a cow

482
00:37:54,583 --> 00:37:58,083
A king... aaaaaaaaaa...

483
00:37:59,229 --> 00:38:02,959
Anyone who can shout vowels
in an open window can learn to deliver a speech.

484
00:38:05,758 --> 00:38:06,958
And fifty.

485
00:38:07,779 --> 00:38:08,979
a deep breath and...

486
00:38:09,429 --> 00:38:12,529
it is...
Let the words flow.

487
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:14,129
No, it doesn't bloody work.

488
00:38:14,415 --> 00:38:16,665
Come on, one more time, Bertie,
you can do it.

489
00:38:17,105 --> 00:38:19,385
A sieve of sifted thistles

490
00:38:36,295 --> 00:38:38,815
Father...
Father...

491
00:38:40,701 --> 00:38:43,971
Father... Father

492
00:39:14,687 --> 00:39:16,787
Hello, Bertie.
Hello David.

493
00:39:17,684 --> 00:39:18,924
Nice of you to come out.

494
00:39:18,938 --> 00:39:19,938
Not at all.

495
00:39:23,253 --> 00:39:24,313
Have you been waiting long?

496
00:39:25,212 --> 00:39:27,812
Christ, it's bloody freezing.

497
00:39:29,276 --> 00:39:31,176
Where�ve you been?

498
00:39:32,763 --> 00:39:34,413
I've been busy.
So have I.

499
00:39:36,910 --> 00:39:38,144
Elizabeth has pneumonia.

500
00:39:38,194 --> 00:39:40,791
I�m sorry. She�ll recover.

501
00:39:40,792 --> 00:39:42,540
Father won�t.

502
00:39:45,941 --> 00:39:47,191
I�ll drive.

503
00:39:50,813 --> 00:39:52,190
Old bugger�s doing this on purpose.

504
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:54,045
Dying?

505
00:39:55,210 --> 00:39:58,565
Departing prematurely...
to complicate matters with Wallis.

506
00:40:01,565 --> 00:40:04,286
For heaven�s sake, David.
You know how long he�s been ill.

507
00:40:04,336 --> 00:40:08,333
Wallis explained. She�s terribly
clever about these things.

508
00:40:11,059 --> 00:40:17,114
... whereas by letters patent under the Great Seal, bearing date of
Westminster, the eleventh day of June 1912

509
00:40:17,164 --> 00:40:23,066
his Majesty King George V did constitute,
order and declare that there should be a guardian,

510
00:40:23,067 --> 00:40:27,708
Custos Regni,
in the form of Councilors of State

511
00:40:27,709 --> 00:40:31,889
It�s the order of the Council for
the State, Sir.

512
00:40:31,924 --> 00:40:36,161
So that we may act on your behalf.

513
00:40:36,466 --> 00:40:38,666
you'll have to clear it for me,
I'm afraid, Lord Wagram.

514
00:40:42,576 --> 00:40:43,561
I�m still confused, but...

515
00:40:43,611 --> 00:40:44,896
Approved.

516
00:40:45,931 --> 00:40:46,999
Thank you.

517
00:41:05,266 --> 00:41:06,266
Thank you.

518
00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:13,081
Feeling a little better, Sir?

519
00:41:13,131 --> 00:41:16,081
No, I�m not feeling any better. I
feel dreadful.

520
00:41:20,233 --> 00:41:21,649
Have you been ice skating?
..Ice skating.

521
00:41:21,699 --> 00:41:23,167
No, George.

522
00:41:38,056 --> 00:41:40,046
Yes, yes, all right, of course...

523
00:41:41,415 --> 00:41:44,792
...I know, darling, a talk, even a
lovely long talk, is a poor substitute

524
00:41:44,842 --> 00:41:50,583
for holding tight and making drowsy.
Nor making our own drowsies either,

525
00:41:50,618 --> 00:41:51,982
as we�ve had to do far too often lately.

526
00:41:52,032 --> 00:41:53,292
David, dinner?

527
00:41:53,342 --> 00:41:54,992
I�m on with Wallis!

528
00:41:54,573 --> 00:41:55,643
It's Bertie.

529
00:41:57,798 --> 00:41:58,798
No.

530
00:41:59,346 --> 00:42:00,676
No, it's not important.

531
00:42:02,721 --> 00:42:04,071
I don't want to...

532
00:42:04,564 --> 00:42:05,564
No.

533
00:42:06,014 --> 00:42:07,170
Telephone me later.

534
00:42:08,358 --> 00:42:09,758
All right. Bye.

535
00:42:12,683 --> 00:42:13,757
Wallis misses me terribly.

536
00:42:13,807 --> 00:42:16,157
Mama says you�re late for dinner.

537
00:42:23,196 --> 00:42:26,996
She forgets Papa�s bloody clocks
were always half an hour fast!

538
00:42:42,188 --> 00:42:44,652
How is the king?
I hope he is not in pain.

539
00:42:44,702 --> 00:42:47,531
No, no, His Majesty,
he�s quieter now.

540
00:42:50,233 --> 00:42:51,449
Thank you.

541
00:42:56,770 --> 00:43:00,620
David, If your father were well, tardiness
would not be tolerated.

542
00:43:02,593 --> 00:43:05,543
None of this
unpleasantness would be tolerated

543
00:43:07,330 --> 00:43:16,514
You know Sir, I appreciate that you are different
from your father both in outlook and temperament.

544
00:43:16,549 --> 00:43:21,073
I want you to know that whenever
the King questioned your conduct,

545
00:43:21,108 --> 00:43:27,545
I  tried, in your interest, to present
it in the most favorable light.

546
00:43:29,108 --> 00:43:32,558
I can always trust you to have my
best interests at heart.

547
00:43:47,059 --> 00:43:49,165
I fear our vigil will not be of
long duration.

548
00:43:49,215 --> 00:43:50,665
Please, continue.

549
00:44:06,085 --> 00:44:10,843
We commend our brother George to
the mercy of God, our Maker and Redeemer.

550
00:44:24,476 --> 00:44:26,026
Long live the King.

551
00:44:39,468 --> 00:44:42,268
I hope I will make good
as he has made good.

552
00:45:18,288 --> 00:45:19,473
What on earth was that?

553
00:45:19,523 --> 00:45:22,792
Poor Wallis.
Now I�m trapped.

554
00:45:37,814 --> 00:45:41,444
And in these last 25 clouded, troubled, glorious years

555
00:45:41,457 --> 00:45:45,017
if there is one thing that King George has taught

556
00:45:45,325 --> 00:45:50,155
it is the art of the leader
who is also the brother to his followers.

557
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,400
As long as he lived

558
00:45:52,487 --> 00:45:55,407
he was the guiding star of a great many.

559
00:45:55,462 --> 00:45:57,332
Dad?Hm-hm?

560
00:45:58,050 --> 00:45:59,750
Time for a shake, dad?

561
00:46:01,579 --> 00:46:02,689
You sure?

562
00:46:02,724 --> 00:46:04,003
Go on.

563
00:46:12,897 --> 00:46:14,797
Put your thinking caps on.

564
00:46:17,801 --> 00:46:19,122
I bet its a Scottish Play.

565
00:46:19,172 --> 00:46:21,922
No, it�s Othello.
It�s always Othello.

566
00:46:32,201 --> 00:46:33,701
Art thou afeard?

567
00:46:35,078 --> 00:46:36,078
Be not afeard.

568
00:46:36,058 --> 00:46:37,128
Caliban!

569
00:46:37,163 --> 00:46:40,593
Oh! For heaven�s sake.
That was a lucky guess!

570
00:46:40,628 --> 00:46:42,978
Don�t listen to egghead.
Go on, Dad.

571
00:46:44,330 --> 00:46:48,864
The isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs
that give delight, and hurt not.

572
00:46:48,914 --> 00:46:54,093
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
will hum about mine ears

573
00:46:54,128 --> 00:46:59,734
and sometimes voices that, if then I had waked after
long sleep, will make me sleep again.

574
00:46:59,735 --> 00:47:02,552
Alright, clever clogs,
and what comes next?

575
00:47:02,587 --> 00:47:06,266
And then, in dreaming, methought the clouds...
The clouds methought...

576
00:47:05,301 --> 00:47:10,952
the clouds methought would open and show riches
ready to drop upon me that when I waked...�

577
00:47:11,002 --> 00:47:12,315
I cried to dream again.

578
00:47:12,365 --> 00:47:14,165
That's a sad thought.

579
00:47:16,513 --> 00:47:18,338
My next patient must be a bit early.

580
00:47:18,388 --> 00:47:20,488
You better go lads, I�m sorry.

581
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,480
Won�t be a moment, Clifford.

582
00:47:27,376 --> 00:47:28,332
Bertie!

583
00:47:30,689 --> 00:47:32,389
They told me not to expect you.

584
00:47:35,479 --> 00:47:37,529
I'm sorry about your father.

585
00:47:38,352 --> 00:47:39,529
I don�t wish to intrude.

586
00:47:39,579 --> 00:47:41,744
Oh, no... please come in.

587
00:47:53,704 --> 00:47:57,304
I�ve been practicing. An hour a day.
In spite of everything.

588
00:47:59,328 --> 00:48:01,028
What�s going on there?

589
00:48:03,288 --> 00:48:05,938
I was, sorry,
mocking around with my kids.

590
00:48:09,240 --> 00:48:11,390
Do you feel like working today?

591
00:48:16,607 --> 00:48:17,769
A Curtis bi-plane.

592
00:48:17,819 --> 00:48:19,719
I�ll put on some hot milk.

593
00:48:19,754 --> 00:48:21,153
Logue, Logue.

594
00:48:22,466 --> 00:48:24,166
I�d kill for something stronger.

595
00:48:29,903 --> 00:48:33,351
I wasn�t there for my father�s death.
Still makes me sad.

596
00:48:33,386 --> 00:48:35,527
I can imagine so.

597
00:48:38,286 --> 00:48:39,368
What did you father do?

598
00:48:39,418 --> 00:48:40,958
He was a brewer.

599
00:48:40,993 --> 00:48:43,043
At least there was free beer.

600
00:48:44,647 --> 00:48:47,047
Here�s to the memory of your father.

601
00:48:51,629 --> 00:48:55,317
I was informed,
after the fact...

602
00:48:55,318 --> 00:48:59,738
that  my father�s last words were:

603
00:49:02,244 --> 00:49:06,333
�Bertie has more guts than the rest of his
brothers put together.�

604
00:49:11,629 --> 00:49:13,829
He couldn�t say that to my face.

605
00:49:18,533 --> 00:49:19,683
My brother.

606
00:49:22,014 --> 00:49:23,364
What about him?

607
00:49:26,278 --> 00:49:27,478
Try singing it.

608
00:49:28,839 --> 00:49:29,792
I'm sorry.

609
00:49:29,842 --> 00:49:31,349
What songs do you know?

610
00:49:31,384 --> 00:49:32,790
Songs?

611
00:49:32,825 --> 00:49:34,094
Yes, songs.

612
00:49:34,129 --> 00:49:35,294
Swanee River.

613
00:49:35,344 --> 00:49:36,381
I love that song.

614
00:49:36,431 --> 00:49:37,847
It happens to be my favorite.

615
00:49:37,897 --> 00:49:39,359
Sing with the chorus.

616
00:49:39,409 --> 00:49:40,959
No. Certainly not.

617
00:49:45,223 --> 00:49:50,886
I always wanted to build models.
Father wouldn�t allow it.

618
00:49:52,613 --> 00:49:57,222
He collected stamps.
We had to collect stamps.

619
00:49:58,986 --> 00:50:01,386
You can finish that off if you sing.

620
00:50:02,814 --> 00:50:06,344
My brother David dum de dum dum...

621
00:50:08,087 --> 00:50:09,385
I'm not going to sit here warbling.

622
00:50:09,435 --> 00:50:10,807
You can with me.

623
00:50:10,857 --> 00:50:12,927
But you�re peculiar.

624
00:50:12,962 --> 00:50:14,962
I take that as a compliment.

625
00:50:19,397 --> 00:50:20,397
Rules are rules.

626
00:50:25,622 --> 00:50:29,175
I�m not crooning Swanee River!

627
00:50:29,210 --> 00:50:30,823
Camptown Races, then.

628
00:50:30,873 --> 00:50:34,800
My brother David said to me,
doo-dah doo-dah...

629
00:50:34,806 --> 00:50:37,466
Continuous sound will give you flow.

630
00:50:48,526 --> 00:50:51,726
Does it feel strange,
now that David�s on the throne?

631
00:50:53,025 --> 00:50:54,344
To tell the truth,

632
00:50:54,394 --> 00:50:55,569
It was a relief...

633
00:50:55,619 --> 00:51:00,329
knowing I wouldn�t be King.

634
00:51:00,364 --> 00:51:05,784
But unless he produces an heir,
you�re next in line.

635
00:51:07,019 --> 00:51:10,562
And your daughter, Elizabeth,
would then succeed you.

636
00:51:12,296 --> 00:51:15,664
You�re barking up the wrong tree
now, Doctor, Doctor.

637
00:51:15,699 --> 00:51:19,392
Lionel. See?
You didn�t stammer.

638
00:51:19,427 --> 00:51:22,248
Of course I didn�t stammer, I was singing!

639
00:51:24,698 --> 00:51:29,598
Well, as a little reward, you get
to put some glue on these struts.

640
00:51:34,610 --> 00:51:36,514
Your boy won't mind?

641
00:51:36,549 --> 00:51:37,899
No, not at all.

642
00:51:42,155 --> 00:51:48,411
David and I were very close.
Young bucks, you know.

643
00:51:50,054 --> 00:51:52,504
Would you chase the same girls?

644
00:51:56,963 --> 00:52:02,000
David was always very helpful
in arranging introductions.

645
00:52:03,066 --> 00:52:11,316
We would share the expert ministrations
of Paulette in Paris.

646
00:52:17,522 --> 00:52:19,672
Not at the same time of course.

647
00:52:23,875 --> 00:52:25,260
Did David ever tease you?

648
00:52:25,310 --> 00:52:28,682
Oh, yes, they all did.
�Buh-buh-buh-Bertie�.

649
00:52:30,754 --> 00:52:35,755
Father encouraged it. �Get it out,
boy!� Said it would make me stop.

650
00:52:35,790 --> 00:52:44,099
He said: �I was afraid of my father,
and my children are damn well going to be afraid of me�.

651
00:52:46,611 --> 00:52:48,761
Are you naturally right-hand?

652
00:52:51,837 --> 00:52:57,269
Left.
I was punished. Now I use the right.

653
00:52:57,304 --> 00:53:00,277
Yes, that�s very common with stammerers.

654
00:53:04,253 --> 00:53:05,967
Any other corrections?

655
00:53:06,017 --> 00:53:08,156
Knock knees.

656
00:53:11,756 --> 00:53:15,700
Metal splints were made.
Worn day and night.

657
00:53:17,836 --> 00:53:19,069
That must have been painful.

658
00:53:19,119 --> 00:53:22,333
Bloody agony.
Straight legs now.

659
00:53:25,412 --> 00:53:27,962
Who were you closest to in your family?

660
00:53:29,045 --> 00:53:34,900
Nannies. Not my first nanny.
She loved David... hated me.

661
00:53:36,035 --> 00:53:42,506
When we are presented to my parents
for the daily viewing,

662
00:53:45,088 --> 00:53:48,318
she�d pinch me, so that I'd cry

663
00:53:48,577 --> 00:53:50,451
and be handed back to her immediately.

664
00:53:54,153 --> 00:53:56,760
Then she would...

665
00:53:59,785 --> 00:54:01,128
Sing it.

666
00:54:02,808 --> 00:54:08,968
then she wouldn�t feed me,
far far away.

667
00:54:12,696 --> 00:54:16,039
It took my parents three years to notice.

668
00:54:17,774 --> 00:54:24,200
As you can imagine, it
caused some stomach problems. Still.

669
00:54:29,879 --> 00:54:32,079
What about your brother, Johnny?

670
00:54:33,935 --> 00:54:35,635
Were you close to him?

671
00:54:36,550 --> 00:54:39,462
Johnny..
Sweet boy.

672
00:54:49,311 --> 00:54:52,470
Epilepsy...and...

673
00:54:52,505 --> 00:54:55,967
he was different.

674
00:54:59,046 --> 00:55:04,062
He died at 13, hidden from view.

675
00:55:08,414 --> 00:55:11,838
I�m told it�s not catching.

676
00:55:16,062 --> 00:55:17,712
Do you want a top up?

677
00:55:19,134 --> 00:55:20,344
Please.

678
00:55:25,574 --> 00:55:31,158
You know, Lionel, you�re the first
ordinary Englishman...

679
00:55:31,193 --> 00:55:32,519
Australian.

680
00:55:34,759 --> 00:55:36,859
...I�ve ever really spoken to.

681
00:55:38,047 --> 00:55:43,271
When I'm driven through the
streets and I see, you know,

682
00:55:45,353 --> 00:55:47,000
the common man staring at me,

683
00:55:47,050 --> 00:55:52,377
I�m struck by how little I know of his life,
and how little he knows of mine.

684
00:55:52,378 --> 00:55:53,478
Thank you.

685
00:55:55,214 --> 00:55:56,814
What are friends for?

686
00:56:00,198 --> 00:56:01,598
I wouldn�t know.

687
00:56:07,822 --> 00:56:15,967
I sifted seven thick-stalked
thistles through strong thick sieves. I sifted seven...

688
00:56:17,206 --> 00:56:19,706
Stop now, darling.
I have to keep doing this.

689
00:56:21,088 --> 00:56:23,188
I sifted seven...
Oh, no.

690
00:56:27,321 --> 00:56:30,671
One hundred year old spruces
removed to improve the view!

691
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,161
Who does she think she is!

692
00:56:33,211 --> 00:56:36,306
Nonetheless, we must try to be
pleasant towards Mrs Simpson.

693
00:56:36,356 --> 00:56:38,555
You know she calls me the fat
Scottish cook.

694
00:56:38,605 --> 00:56:39,955
You�re not fat.

695
00:56:41,431 --> 00:56:42,931
I�m getting plump.

696
00:56:44,383 --> 00:56:45,783
You seldom cook.

697
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,321
I sifted seven.

698
00:56:49,371 --> 00:56:50,609
Shut up!!

699
00:57:00,912 --> 00:57:04,062
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of York.

700
00:57:04,155 --> 00:57:06,105
How lovely to see you both.

701
00:57:08,689 --> 00:57:11,039
Welcome
to our little country shack.

702
00:57:12,986 --> 00:57:15,386
I came at the invitation of the King.

703
00:57:20,018 --> 00:57:21,018
Your Majesty.

704
00:57:23,162 --> 00:57:25,322
Are you all right?
Sorry, but I hate her.

705
00:57:25,478 --> 00:57:29,198
Very nice to see you, Mrs Simpson.

706
00:57:33,198 --> 00:57:34,398
Very nice.

707
00:57:39,462 --> 00:57:40,611
Hello David.

708
00:57:41,861 --> 00:57:45,250
You�re making some changes to
the garden, I see

709
00:57:45,285 --> 00:57:47,875
yes, I'm not quite finished yet.

710
00:57:52,997 --> 00:57:54,765
Don�t tell me I behaved badly, Mr Churchill.

711
00:57:54,815 --> 00:57:57,457
On the contrary, your Royal
Highness.

712
00:57:57,473 --> 00:57:58,473
Etiquette decrees that royalty should be greeted
by the official host. In this case, the King.

713
00:58:02,392 --> 00:58:07,724
Not a commoner.
Thank you.

714
00:58:08,883 --> 00:58:10,332
What is her hold on him?

715
00:58:10,382 --> 00:58:11,732
I have no idea.

716
00:58:14,643 --> 00:58:16,764
Apparently she has
certain skills,

717
00:58:16,814 --> 00:58:20,912
acquired in an establishment in Shanghai.

718
00:58:24,230 --> 00:58:25,230
David.

719
00:58:27,110 --> 00:58:29,910
Just be a sec, darling.
Excuse me.

720
00:58:40,519 --> 00:58:42,919
David, I�ve been trying to see you.

721
00:58:43,633 --> 00:58:44,680
I�ve been terribly busy.

722
00:58:44,730 --> 00:58:45,880
Doing what?

723
00:58:47,297 --> 00:58:48,962
Kinging.
Really?

724
00:58:50,112 --> 00:58:54,177
Kinging is a precarious business
these days.

725
00:58:54,251 --> 00:58:57,637
Where's the Russian Tsar?
Where's cousin Wilhelm?

726
00:58:57,672 --> 00:58:59,272
You�re being dreary.

727
00:58:59,542 --> 00:59:03,830
Is kinging laying off eighty staff and buying more pearls

728
00:59:03,865 --> 00:59:06,868
for Wallis while people are marching across Europe
singing �The Red Flag�?

729
00:59:06,918 --> 00:59:08,929
Stop your worrying. Herr Hitler
will sort them out.

730
00:59:08,979 --> 00:59:12,209
And who�ll sort out Herr Hitler?
Where's the bloody '23?

731
00:59:13,072 --> 00:59:14,680
And you put that woman in our
mother�s suite?

732
00:59:14,730 --> 00:59:16,648
Mother�s not still in the bed,
is she?

733
00:59:16,698 --> 00:59:18,148
That�s not funny.

734
00:59:18,406 --> 00:59:20,726
Here it is.
Wallis likes the very best.

735
00:59:20,776 --> 00:59:24,093
I don�t care what woman you carry
on with at night,

736
00:59:24,128 --> 00:59:27,078
as long as you show up for duty in the morning!

737
00:59:27,171 --> 00:59:29,564
Wallis is not just some woman I am
carrying on with.

738
00:59:29,614 --> 00:59:31,180
We intend to marry.

739
00:59:33,801 --> 00:59:34,969
Excuse me?

740
00:59:35,004 --> 00:59:37,354
She�s filing a petition for
divorce.

741
00:59:38,329 --> 00:59:39,449
Good God.

742
00:59:41,233 --> 00:59:43,890
Can�t you just give her a nice
house and a title?

743
00:59:43,940 --> 00:59:45,594
I'm not having her as my mistress.

744
00:59:45,644 --> 00:59:48,954
The Church doesn't
recognise divorce and you are the head of the Church.

745
00:59:49,004 --> 00:59:50,385
Haven�t I any rights?

746
00:59:50,435 --> 00:59:52,328
Many privileges...

747
00:59:52,363 --> 00:59:53,664
Not the same thing.

748
00:59:53,714 --> 00:59:56,144
Your beloved common man may marry for love,

749
00:59:56,194 --> 00:59:57,184
why not me?

750
00:59:57,234 --> 01:00:02,672
If you were a common man, on what
basis could you possibly claim to be King?

751
01:00:02,707 --> 01:00:05,024
Sounds like you�ve studied our
wretched constitution.

752
01:00:05,074 --> 01:00:05,913
Sounds like you haven�t.

753
01:00:05,963 --> 01:00:08,503
That's what this is all about? Brushing up.

754
01:00:09,230 --> 01:00:12,800
Hence the elocution lessons.
That's the scoop around town.

755
01:00:13,558 --> 01:00:15,306
I�m trying to t-t...

756
01:00:19,322 --> 01:00:22,472
Yearning for a larger audience are we,
Buh-buh-buh-Bertie?

757
01:00:24,722 --> 01:00:25,858
Don�t...

758
01:00:27,693 --> 01:00:30,503
What's that?
I'm sorry?

759
01:00:31,779 --> 01:00:35,179
Younger brother trying to push older
brother off the throne.

760
01:00:35,619 --> 01:00:37,719
Po-po-positively medieval.

761
01:00:39,055 --> 01:00:40,355
Wallis...

762
01:00:43,053 --> 01:00:44,493
Where have you been all this time?

763
01:00:44,501 --> 01:00:46,551
Who have you been talking to?
Never you mind.

764
01:00:49,115 --> 01:00:53,625
Ahh..what a complicated
lovely coon you are.

765
01:00:53,660 --> 01:00:54,960
I try to be.

766
01:00:57,234 --> 01:00:59,490
All that work, down the drain.

767
01:01:01,954 --> 01:01:03,339
My own brother...

768
01:01:03,389 --> 01:01:05,946
I couldn�t say a single word
to him in reply!

769
01:01:05,996 --> 01:01:09,685
Why do you stammer so much more with David
than you ever do with me?

770
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,021
Because you�re bloody well paid to listen!

771
01:01:12,071 --> 01:01:14,121
Bertie,
I�m not a geisha girl.

772
01:01:15,276 --> 01:01:16,405
Stop trying to be so bloody clever!

773
01:01:16,455 --> 01:01:19,061
What is it about David that stops you speaking?

774
01:01:19,111 --> 01:01:23,977
What is it about you that bloody well makes
you want you to go on about it all the bloody time?

775
01:01:24,012 --> 01:01:27,085
Vulgar but fluent. You don�t
stammer when you swear.

776
01:01:27,135 --> 01:01:28,022
Oh, bugger off!

777
01:01:28,072 --> 01:01:29,445
Is that the best you can do?

778
01:01:29,495 --> 01:01:35,252
Well, bloody bugger to you,
you beastly bastard.

779
01:01:35,287 --> 01:01:38,444
A public school prig can do better
than that.

780
01:01:40,198 --> 01:01:41,098
Shit!

781
01:01:42,213 --> 01:01:44,469
Shit, shit, shit!
shit!

782
01:01:46,709 --> 01:01:50,468
Yes, defecation flows trippingly
from the tongue?

783
01:01:50,518 --> 01:01:51,492
Because I�m angry!

784
01:01:51,542 --> 01:01:53,142
Do you Know the F word?

785
01:01:56,107 --> 01:01:56,859
Fornication?

786
01:01:56,909 --> 01:01:58,009
Oh, Bertie.

787
01:01:59,043 --> 01:02:01,923
Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck!

788
01:02:02,885 --> 01:02:07,095
Fucking bugger. Buggedy, buggedy, buggedy,
fuck, fuck, ass!

789
01:02:07,395 --> 01:02:09,666
Yes! You see! Not a hesitation!

790
01:02:09,701 --> 01:02:13,120
Shit fucking willy. Willy, shit and fuck and... tits.

791
01:02:13,270 --> 01:02:15,131
Dad? What�s going on?

792
01:02:15,166 --> 01:02:17,803
Sorry. Just finish your homework.

793
01:02:19,771 --> 01:02:23,271
That�s a side of you we don�t
get to see all that often.

794
01:02:23,330 --> 01:02:27,027
No. No we�re not supposed to
really, not publicly.

795
01:02:28,278 --> 01:02:29,215
Let�s get some air.

796
01:02:29,265 --> 01:02:32,343
Logue, no, I don�t think that�s a
good idea.

797
01:02:34,658 --> 01:02:37,358
What�s the matter?
Why are you so upset?

798
01:02:38,665 --> 01:02:40,633
Logue, you have no idea.

799
01:02:43,177 --> 01:02:50,369
My brother is infatuated with a woman who�s
been married twice.

800
01:02:50,943 --> 01:02:54,693
She�s asking for a divorce and
he is determined to marry her.

801
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,783
Mrs Wallis Simpson of Baltimore.

802
01:03:01,832 --> 01:03:03,449
That�s not right.
Queen Wallis of Baltimore?

803
01:03:03,499 --> 01:03:04,699
Unthinkable.

804
01:03:06,304 --> 01:03:07,337
Can he do that?

805
01:03:07,387 --> 01:03:10,399
Absolutely not.
But he�s going to anyway.

806
01:03:10,434 --> 01:03:12,994
All hell�s broken loose.

807
01:03:13,848 --> 01:03:15,737
Can�t they just carry on privately?

808
01:03:15,787 --> 01:03:17,437
If only they would.

809
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,480
Where does this leave you?

810
01:03:23,619 --> 01:03:25,019
I know my place.

811
01:03:27,416 --> 01:03:31,720
But I would do anything
in my power to keep my brother on the throne.

812
01:03:33,831 --> 01:03:36,136
Is it that serious?

813
01:03:37,138 --> 01:03:38,571
Your place may well be on the throne.

814
01:03:38,621 --> 01:03:40,386
I am not an alternative to my
brother.

815
01:03:40,436 --> 01:03:41,955
You can outshine David...

816
01:03:42,005 --> 01:03:43,655
Don�t take liberties!

817
01:03:44,858 --> 01:03:45,939
That�s bordering on treason.

818
01:03:45,989 --> 01:03:47,906
I�m just saying you could be King.
You could do it!

819
01:03:47,956 --> 01:03:49,361
That is treason!

820
01:03:49,396 --> 01:03:51,561
I�m trying to get you to realize
you needn't be governed by fear.

821
01:03:51,611 --> 01:03:53,411
I�ve had enough of this!

822
01:03:54,546 --> 01:03:55,505
What�re you afraid of?

823
01:03:55,555 --> 01:03:56,594
Your poisonous words!

824
01:03:56,644 --> 01:03:58,253
Why did you come to me?

825
01:03:58,303 --> 01:04:02,350
You are not some middle class bugger,
who needs elocution lessons so you can chit-chat...

826
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,245
Don�t instruct me on my duties!

827
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,556
I�m the son of a ....
King...

828
01:04:09,787 --> 01:04:11,134
the brother of a King.

829
01:04:11,184 --> 01:04:14,661
You�re the disappointing son of a brewer!

830
01:04:14,696 --> 01:04:17,821
A jumped-up jackeroo from the
outback!

831
01:04:19,517 --> 01:04:20,817
You�re nobody.

832
01:04:21,572 --> 01:04:23,372
These sessions are over!

833
01:05:05,732 --> 01:05:09,430
It�s not because she�s an American.
That is the least of it.

834
01:05:10,926 --> 01:05:14,527
It�s because she is a soon to
be twice-divorced American,

835
01:05:15,898 --> 01:05:21,650
and the King, as head of The Church of England,
cannot marry a divorced woman.

836
01:05:24,210 --> 01:05:28,745
And Sir,
I apologize for the nature of this,

837
01:05:29,078 --> 01:05:35,735
according to Scotland Yard,
the King has not always possessed exclusive rights

838
01:05:36,794 --> 01:05:42,384
to Mrs. Simpson�s...
favors and affections...

839
01:05:43,647 --> 01:05:45,878
sharing them with a
married used-car salesman.

840
01:05:45,928 --> 01:05:47,965
a certain Mr Guy Trundle.

841
01:05:50,734 --> 01:05:53,249
In addition, it is also rumored...

842
01:05:53,825 --> 01:05:59,120
Hitler�s ambassador, Count von Ribbentrop,
sends her 17 carnations every day.

843
01:06:01,337 --> 01:06:06,154
Should His Majesty continue to
ignore the advice of His Government, he must abdicate.

844
01:06:06,204 --> 01:06:10,225
Otherwise his Government has no
choice but to resign.

845
01:06:10,260 --> 01:06:11,298
Prime Minister,

846
01:06:11,348 --> 01:06:16,602
you�d leave the
country without a government?

847
01:06:18,762 --> 01:06:20,912
Does the King do what he wants?

848
01:06:22,161 --> 01:06:25,111
Or does he do
what his people expect him to do?

849
01:06:32,644 --> 01:06:34,085
What�s the matter, love?

850
01:06:34,135 --> 01:06:36,685
I'm just having trouble with a patient.

851
01:06:38,999 --> 01:06:40,634
That isn't like you.

852
01:06:41,890 --> 01:06:42,890
Why?

853
01:06:44,679 --> 01:06:48,064
He's scared.
He is afraid of his own shadow.

854
01:06:50,029 --> 01:06:52,009
Isn�t that why they come to you?

855
01:06:54,342 --> 01:06:57,792
This fellow could really be somebody great.
He�s fighting me.

856
01:06:59,742 --> 01:07:02,192
Perhaps, he doesn�t want to be great.

857
01:07:04,966 --> 01:07:07,016
Perhaps that�s what you want.

858
01:07:11,247 --> 01:07:13,547
I might have overstepped the mark.

859
01:07:15,070 --> 01:07:16,310
Apologize.

860
01:07:16,345 --> 01:07:17,795
Do you both good.

861
01:07:30,244 --> 01:07:32,994
I�m very sorry, Mr Logue.
The Duke is busy.

862
01:07:33,923 --> 01:07:36,773
I�m happy to wait.
Or I could come back later.

863
01:07:37,900 --> 01:07:40,300
As I said,
the Duke is terribly busy.

864
01:07:49,299 --> 01:07:50,587
Thank you.

865
01:07:55,614 --> 01:07:56,614
Thank you.

866
01:08:04,396 --> 01:08:07,596
Parliament will not support their marriage.

867
01:08:10,018 --> 01:08:11,828
But there are other reasons for concern.

868
01:08:11,878 --> 01:08:14,331
He was careless with state papers,

869
01:08:14,366 --> 01:08:15,892
he lacked commitment and resolve.

870
01:08:15,942 --> 01:08:20,539
And there are those who are worried about where
he will stand when war comes with Germany .

871
01:08:23,768 --> 01:08:24,746
We�re not coming to that?

872
01:08:24,796 --> 01:08:26,681
Indeed we are, Sir.

873
01:08:26,716 --> 01:08:31,849
Prime Minister Baldwin may deny this,
but Hitler�s intent is crystal clear.

874
01:08:33,336 --> 01:08:39,071
War with Germany will come, and we will need
a King whom we can all stand behind united.

875
01:08:40,650 --> 01:08:44,259
I fear my brother is not of

876
01:08:44,294 --> 01:08:47,684
sound mind, at this time.

877
01:08:49,569 --> 01:08:52,419
Have you thought what you will call yourself?

878
01:08:59,063 --> 01:09:02,431
Certainly not Albert, Sir.
Too Germanic.

879
01:09:10,656 --> 01:09:11,857
What about George?

880
01:09:11,907 --> 01:09:14,282
After your father.

881
01:09:15,894 --> 01:09:16,894
George the Sixth.

882
01:09:17,847 --> 01:09:21,168
It has a rather nice continuity to it,
don�t you think?

883
01:09:25,902 --> 01:09:27,352
David! Thank God.

884
01:09:29,142 --> 01:09:30,692
You look exhausted!

885
01:09:33,798 --> 01:09:35,548
How are you bearing up?

886
01:09:36,037 --> 01:09:38,337
Bertie, the decision�s been made.

887
01:09:39,014 --> 01:09:40,264
I'm going.

888
01:09:42,198 --> 01:09:44,455
I can't accept that.
You are in no condition to make that decision.

889
01:09:44,505 --> 01:09:46,743
I�m afraid there�s no other way.

890
01:09:46,993 --> 01:09:49,663
I must marry her.

891
01:09:51,498 --> 01:09:54,158
My mind�s made up.
I�m sorry.

892
01:09:58,150 --> 01:10:00,350
That�s a terrible thing to hear.

893
01:10:03,719 --> 01:10:06,422
Nobody wants that.
I least of all.

894
01:10:13,433 --> 01:10:18,826
At long last, I am able to say
a few words of my own.

895
01:10:20,874 --> 01:10:24,849
I have never wanted to withhold anything,
but until now,

896
01:10:24,850 --> 01:10:28,452
it has not been constitutionally
possible for me to speak.

897
01:10:30,148 --> 01:10:36,797
A few hours ago I discharged
my last duty as King and Emperor.

898
01:10:39,509 --> 01:10:43,189
And now that I have been succeeded by
my brother, the Duke of York

899
01:10:45,141 --> 01:10:48,302
my first words must be
to declare my allegiance to him.

900
01:10:48,352 --> 01:10:51,708
This I do with all my heart.

901
01:10:55,433 --> 01:10:59,533
You all know the reasons which have
impelled me to renounce the throne.

902
01:11:00,561 --> 01:11:03,111
But you must believe me,
when I tell you

903
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:10,153
that I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of
responsibility and to discharge my duties..

904
01:11:10,203 --> 01:11:18,177
as King, as I would wish to do, without
the help and support of the woman I love.

905
01:11:20,338 --> 01:11:21,635
And I want you to know

906
01:11:21,685 --> 01:11:25,882
this decision has been made less
difficult to me

907
01:11:25,917 --> 01:11:32,538
by the sure knowledge that my brother, with his
long training in the public affairs of this country...

908
01:11:34,554 --> 01:11:36,804
and with his fine qualities

909
01:11:37,602 --> 01:11:39,563
will be able to take my place forthwith

910
01:11:39,613 --> 01:11:47,794
without interruption or
injury to the life and progress of the empire.

911
01:13:04,733 --> 01:13:06,597
I meet you today...

912
01:13:13,525 --> 01:13:15,525
in circumstances which are

913
01:13:35,444 --> 01:13:38,014
Thank you, darling.
Saddles, Margaret...

914
01:13:39,855 --> 01:13:43,275
Oh, here's one.
Mama, here's a horse's saddle.

915
01:13:43,290 --> 01:13:44,840
Thank you. Oops.

916
01:13:45,081 --> 01:13:48,041
Don't worry,
you'll get yours back tomorrow.

917
01:13:48,313 --> 01:13:50,865
Mama, will we have space for our
horses in our new home?

918
01:13:50,915 --> 01:13:54,315
Of course we will, darling,
we�ll have a palace of rooms.

919
01:14:03,501 --> 01:14:04,508
Curtsey.

920
01:14:06,901 --> 01:14:08,188
Your Majesty.

921
01:14:25,630 --> 01:14:27,150
How was it?

922
01:14:38,510 --> 01:14:46,319
I was trying to familiarize myself
with what a State paper looks like.

923
01:14:51,127 --> 01:14:55,403
A dispatch from Mr Baldwin
which I don�t understand a word of.

924
01:14:58,982 --> 01:15:00,432
David�s finances.

925
01:15:05,919 --> 01:15:10,262
Christmas broadcast...

926
01:15:10,297 --> 01:15:12,297
I think that would be a mistake.

927
01:15:12,333 --> 01:15:13,633
No, don't worry about that.

928
01:15:25,055 --> 01:15:26,592
Plans for the Coronation.

929
01:15:27,842 --> 01:15:30,502
I think that would be an even bigger mistake.

930
01:15:33,689 --> 01:15:35,351
I�m not a King.

931
01:15:40,289 --> 01:15:41,307
I�m a naval officer.

932
01:15:41,357 --> 01:15:43,257
That's all I know.

933
01:15:45,554 --> 01:15:47,002
I�m not a King. I'm not a King.

934
01:15:51,325 --> 01:15:52,325
I'm sorry.

935
01:15:57,898 --> 01:16:00,594
Oh, dear. Dear, dear man...

936
01:16:05,016 --> 01:16:10,192
You  know, I refused your first
two marriage proposals,

937
01:16:10,227 --> 01:16:11,897
not because I didn�t love you,

938
01:16:11,947 --> 01:16:15,376
but because I couldn�t bear
the idea of a royal life.

939
01:16:16,111 --> 01:16:21,153
Couldn't bear the idea of a life
of tours and public duty,

940
01:16:21,188 --> 01:16:24,808
A life that no longer
was really to be my own.

941
01:16:25,943 --> 01:16:27,311
But then I thought...

942
01:16:27,346 --> 01:16:30,033
he stammers so beautifully...

943
01:16:30,068 --> 01:16:31,818
they�ll leave us alone.

944
01:16:58,144 --> 01:17:02,199
Waiting for a king to apologize,
one can wait rather a long wait.

945
01:17:07,528 --> 01:17:09,678
I�m afraid we�re slightly late.

946
01:17:12,528 --> 01:17:16,919
This is home. Myrtle�s at bridge.
I�ve made sure the boys were out.

947
01:17:16,954 --> 01:17:18,448
It�s lovely.

948
01:17:19,823 --> 01:17:21,323
Absolutely lovely.

949
01:17:21,721 --> 01:17:23,321
Well, may I sit down?

950
01:17:23,421 --> 01:17:24,621
Yes, of course.

951
01:17:32,067 --> 01:17:33,393
Would you like some tea, Ma�am?

952
01:17:33,443 --> 01:17:34,704
Yes. I�ll help myself.

953
01:17:34,754 --> 01:17:36,191
Off you go.

954
01:17:36,226 --> 01:17:38,626
Or must I knock your heads together?

955
01:17:40,590 --> 01:17:42,240
Here�s your shilling.

956
01:17:53,110 --> 01:17:54,493
I understand...

957
01:17:55,957 --> 01:17:58,257
what you were trying to say, Logue.

958
01:17:59,013 --> 01:18:01,113
I went about it the wrong way.

959
01:18:02,158 --> 01:18:03,258
I�m sorry.

960
01:18:05,998 --> 01:18:06,983
So, here I am.

961
01:18:07,033 --> 01:18:12,214
Is the nation ready
for two minutes of radio silence?

962
01:18:12,249 --> 01:18:15,949
Every stammerer always fears
going back to square one.

963
01:18:16,932 --> 01:18:18,005
I don�t let that happen.

964
01:18:18,055 --> 01:18:19,805
If I fail in my duty...

965
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:23,281
David could come back.

966
01:18:23,331 --> 01:18:25,031
I�ve seen the placards

967
01:18:26,770 --> 01:18:29,170
�God Save Our King!�

968
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:32,050
They don�t mean me.

969
01:18:33,900 --> 01:18:36,380
Every monarch in history

970
01:18:37,690 --> 01:18:43,168
has succeeded someone who was dead,
or just about to be.

971
01:18:46,220 --> 01:18:51,200
My predecessor is not
only alive, but very much so.

972
01:18:55,904 --> 01:18:57,454
A bloody mess!

973
01:18:59,030 --> 01:19:01,100
I can�t even give
them a Christmas Speech.

974
01:19:01,150 --> 01:19:02,800
Like your Dad used to do?

975
01:19:02,850 --> 01:19:04,190
Precisely.

976
01:19:04,770 --> 01:19:06,470
He's not here anymore.

977
01:19:09,590 --> 01:19:12,390
Yes he is. He�s on that shilling I gave you.

978
01:19:14,250 --> 01:19:18,600
Easy enough to give away. You don�t have
to carry him around in your pocket.

979
01:19:19,540 --> 01:19:21,040
Or your brother.

980
01:19:22,270 --> 01:19:26,970
You don't need to be afraid of the things
you were afraid of when you were five.

981
01:19:33,070 --> 01:19:35,570
You�re very much your own man, Bertie.

982
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:38,000
Am I?

983
01:19:42,910 --> 01:19:44,570
Your face is next, mate.

984
01:19:44,620 --> 01:19:45,970
Lionel, dear?

985
01:19:46,950 --> 01:19:48,150
Myrtle!

986
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,600
Is it all right?
Yes.

987
01:19:52,170 --> 01:19:54,200
Bertie, come here.

988
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,730
Are you all right, Logue?
Yes.

989
01:20:00,500 --> 01:20:03,550
Shall we go through?
Trust me. It's important.

990
01:20:04,730 --> 01:20:06,230
What is it?

991
01:20:07,570 --> 01:20:10,920
You're... You're...
It's �Your Majesty�, the first time.

992
01:20:11,090 --> 01:20:14,920
After that, it's �Ma�am,� as in Ham,
not "Mom" as in Palm.

993
01:20:16,530 --> 01:20:19,650
I haven't told her about us.
Sit down, relax.

994
01:20:20,590 --> 01:20:24,620
I'm told your husband calls
my husband Bertie

995
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,660
and my husband calls your husband Lionel.

996
01:20:27,710 --> 01:20:29,810
I trust you won't call me Liz.

997
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,660
Your Majesty, you may call me
Mrs Logue, Ma'am.

998
01:20:34,500 --> 01:20:36,750
Very nice to meet you, Mrs Logue.

999
01:20:38,620 --> 01:20:40,090
Logue, we can't stand here all day.

1000
01:20:40,140 --> 01:20:43,090
Yes we can. Look, I need to wait
for the right moment.

1001
01:20:43,140 --> 01:20:46,290
Logue, you�re being a coward!
You're damn right.

1002
01:20:47,780 --> 01:20:50,010
Get out there, now!

1003
01:20:51,370 --> 01:20:53,070
Hello, Myrtle, darling!

1004
01:20:54,490 --> 01:20:59,440
You're early. I believe you two have met!
But I don't think you know...

1005
01:21:01,100 --> 01:21:04,330
King George the Sixth.
It's very nice to meet you.

1006
01:21:08,570 --> 01:21:11,220
Will their Majesties be staying
to dinner?

1007
01:21:12,990 --> 01:21:16,220
We'd love to, such a treat,
but alas...

1008
01:21:16,830 --> 01:21:19,230
a previous engagement. What a pity.

1009
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,950
Archbishop.
Welcome, your Majesty.

1010
01:21:39,220 --> 01:21:41,800
What a glorious transformation, Sir.

1011
01:21:42,430 --> 01:21:45,830
I hope you'll forgive us if we continue
out preparations.

1012
01:21:46,820 --> 01:21:52,330
And now you will allow me to guide you
through the ceremony.

1013
01:21:56,750 --> 01:22:01,300
We begin, of course, at the West door,
then into the nave.

1014
01:22:03,380 --> 01:22:07,230
I see all your pronouncements are
to be broadcast, Archbishop.

1015
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:12,530
Ah, yes, wireless...
It is indeed a Pandora�s Box.

1016
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:16,850
And I'm afraid I've also had to permit
the newsreel cameras.

1017
01:22:17,100 --> 01:22:20,370
The product of which I shall personally
edit.

1018
01:22:20,890 --> 01:22:23,060
Without momentary hesitations.

1019
01:22:23,740 --> 01:22:30,100
This is Doctor Logue of Harley Street.
He's my speech therapist.

1020
01:22:31,390 --> 01:22:32,460
Your Grace.

1021
01:22:32,580 --> 01:22:35,480
Had I known that Your
Majesty was seeking assistance

1022
01:22:35,510 --> 01:22:38,060
I should�ve made my own recommendation.

1023
01:22:38,630 --> 01:22:40,765
Dr. Logue...

1024
01:22:41,440 --> 01:22:43,690
will be attending the Coronation.

1025
01:22:43,950 --> 01:22:48,250
Well, of course I shall speak with the Dean,
but it will be extremely difficult.

1026
01:22:48,370 --> 01:22:55,820
I should like the Doctor to be seated
in the King's Box.

1027
01:22:57,490 --> 01:23:00,350
But members of your family will be seated
there, Sir.

1028
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,300
That is why it is suitable.

1029
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,510
And now, if you don�t mind, Your Grace,
we need the premises.

1030
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:11,250
My dear fellow, this is Westminster Abbey!
The Church must prepare his Majesty.

1031
01:23:11,390 --> 01:23:14,090
My preparations are equally as important

1032
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,290
With complete privacy, if you don't mind.

1033
01:23:23,070 --> 01:23:25,270
Those are my wishes, Your Grace.

1034
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:33,550
I will place the Abbey at Your Majesty�s
disposal this evening. Your Majesty.

1035
01:24:04,850 --> 01:24:08,500
I can�t believe I�m walking on Chaucer,
and Handel, and Dickens.

1036
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,670
Everything all right? Let's get cracking.

1037
01:24:16,100 --> 01:24:19,610
I�m not here to rehearse, Doctor Logue.

1038
01:24:22,780 --> 01:24:24,280
Call me Lionel.

1039
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:31,700
True, you never
called yourself "Doctor."

1040
01:24:31,780 --> 01:24:36,140
I did that for you.

1041
01:24:40,020 --> 01:24:48,510
No training, no diploma,
no qualifications.

1042
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,920
Just a great deal of nerve.

1043
01:24:54,130 --> 01:24:56,630
The Star Chamber inquisition, is it?

1044
01:24:56,680 --> 01:25:02,090
You asked for trust and total equality.

1045
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,200
Bertie, I heard you at Wembley.
I was there.

1046
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,440
My son Laurie said: Dad, do you think
you could help that poor man?

1047
01:25:10,490 --> 01:25:12,590
What, as a failed actor?

1048
01:25:12,950 --> 01:25:18,570
It�s true, I�m not a doctor.
And yes, I acted a bit.

1049
01:25:19,890 --> 01:25:23,800
Well I recited in pubs
and taught elocution in schools.

1050
01:25:24,220 --> 01:25:25,920
When the Great War came,

1051
01:25:25,970 --> 01:25:28,350
all our Soldiers were returning to Australia
from the front.

1052
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:31,150
A lot of them shell-shocked,
unable to speak.

1053
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,590
Somebody said: Lionel, you're very good
at all this speech stuff.

1054
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,890
Do you think you could possibly help
these poor buggers?

1055
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:43,070
I did muscle therapy, exercises, relaxation,
but I knew I had to go deeper.

1056
01:25:45,330 --> 01:25:49,680
Those poor young blokes had cried out
in fear, no one was listening to them.

1057
01:25:51,370 --> 01:25:54,320
My job was to give them faith
in their own voice

1058
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:58,130
and let them know that a friend
was listening.

1059
01:25:59,790 --> 01:26:02,540
That must ring a few bells with you,
Bertie.

1060
01:26:07,220 --> 01:26:09,550
A very noble account of yourself.

1061
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,700
Make inquiries. It�s all true.

1062
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:16,370
Inquiries have been made. You have no idea
who I have breathing down my neck.

1063
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:24,300
I vouched for you and you have no
credentials.

1064
01:26:24,410 --> 01:26:27,930
But lots of success!
I can't show you a certificate.

1065
01:26:28,470 --> 01:26:31,590
There was no training then.
Everything I know I know from experience,

1066
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:35,120
and that war was some experience.

1067
01:26:37,850 --> 01:26:40,050
My plaque says,
"L. Logue, Speech Defects."

1068
01:26:40,100 --> 01:26:42,800
No "Dr.".
There are no letters after my name.

1069
01:26:48,090 --> 01:26:50,520
Lock me in the Tower.
I would if I could!

1070
01:26:50,570 --> 01:26:52,420
On what charge?
Fraud!

1071
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:57,560
With war looming, you�ve saddled
this nation with a voiceless King.

1072
01:26:58,350 --> 01:27:03,340
You've destroyed the happiness of my family.
All for the sake of ensnaring a star...

1073
01:27:04,100 --> 01:27:07,810
patient you couldn�t possibly hope
to assist!

1074
01:27:09,430 --> 01:27:14,470
It'll be like mad...
King George the Third,

1075
01:27:16,220 --> 01:27:22,000
probably
mad King George the stammerer,

1076
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:28,860
who let his people down so badly
in their hour of need...

1077
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,050
What�re you doing? Get up!
You can�t sit there! Get up!

1078
01:27:32,100 --> 01:27:33,310
Why not? It�s a chair.

1079
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,670
No, that is not a chair,
that is... that is...

1080
01:27:37,370 --> 01:27:40,270
That is Saint Edward's Chair!
People have carved their names on it.

1081
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,950
That chair is the seat on which every
King and Queen...

1082
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,180
It's held in place by a large rock!
That is the Stone of Scone.

1083
01:27:46,230 --> 01:27:48,560
you are trivializing everything.
You believe such bollocks.

1084
01:27:48,610 --> 01:27:50,260
I don�t care how many royal...

1085
01:27:50,310 --> 01:27:52,120
Listen to me. Listen to me!
...arses have sat in this chair.

1086
01:27:52,170 --> 01:27:54,130
Listen to me!
Listen to you?! By what right?

1087
01:27:54,180 --> 01:27:56,140
By divine right, if you must!
I�m your King!!!

1088
01:27:56,190 --> 01:27:58,990
No you�re not! You told me so yourself.
You said you didn�t want it.

1089
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:01,530
Why should I waste my time listening to you?
Because I have a right to be heard!

1090
01:28:01,580 --> 01:28:03,980
Heard as what?!
I have a voice!!!

1091
01:28:08,930 --> 01:28:10,430
Yes, you do.

1092
01:28:20,350 --> 01:28:24,250
You have such perseverance, Bertie.
You�re the bravest man I know.

1093
01:28:24,630 --> 01:28:26,980
And you�ll make a bloody good king.

1094
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:38,130
What on earth�s going on, Sir?
It's quite all right, Archbishop.

1095
01:28:38,330 --> 01:28:42,070
Mr Logue, you must know that I found
a replacement English specialist

1096
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:47,140
with impecable credentials. Hence, your
services will no longer be required.

1097
01:28:47,340 --> 01:28:51,020
I�m sorry?
Your Majesty's function is to consult and be advised.

1098
01:28:51,070 --> 01:28:54,690
You didn't consult, but you have just
been advised.

1099
01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:03,270
Now I advise you. In this personal matter
I will make my own decision.

1100
01:29:03,950 --> 01:29:08,410
My concern is for the head upon
which I must place the crown.

1101
01:29:08,690 --> 01:29:13,460
I appreciate that Archbshop,
but it�s my head.

1102
01:29:15,860 --> 01:29:17,460
Your humble servant.

1103
01:29:24,900 --> 01:29:26,400
Thank you, Bertie.

1104
01:29:28,830 --> 01:29:31,580
Shall we rehearse?
Come on up on your perch.

1105
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:43,010
Now when you and Elizabeth enter through
the West door,

1106
01:29:43,060 --> 01:29:46,910
you will be greeted by the hymn
�I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me.�

1107
01:29:47,310 --> 01:29:51,610
Actually you won't be that glad, because
they do sing for a very long time.

1108
01:29:52,290 --> 01:29:56,880
Then your friend the Archbishop
will pounce up the stairs towards you

1109
01:29:57,530 --> 01:30:02,380
and say: Sir, is Your Majesty willing
to take The Oath?

1110
01:30:03,820 --> 01:30:06,170
I am willing.
Of course you are!

1111
01:30:06,330 --> 01:30:08,595
I'm going to see what this sounds
like in the cheap seats

1112
01:30:08,645 --> 01:30:10,845
so even your old nanny can hear.

1113
01:30:11,410 --> 01:30:16,080
Will you govern your peoples of
Great Britain, Ireland, Canada,

1114
01:30:16,170 --> 01:30:21,580
Australia and New Zealand according to
their lands and customs?

1115
01:30:23,180 --> 01:30:26,430
I solemnly promise so do so."
Louder! I can�t hear you up the back.

1116
01:30:26,480 --> 01:30:28,990
I solemnly promise to do so!

1117
01:30:29,330 --> 01:30:30,650
Very good!

1118
01:30:30,790 --> 01:30:34,200
Will you to your power cause law
and justice, in mercy,

1119
01:30:34,290 --> 01:30:37,430
to be executed in all your judgments?

1120
01:30:37,860 --> 01:30:39,450
I will.
I will!

1121
01:30:39,670 --> 01:30:42,130
Then there's a very long bit about
upholding the faith,

1122
01:30:42,180 --> 01:30:45,880
goes on, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.
To which you finally say...

1123
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:53,940
The things which I have herebefore
promised, I will perform and keep.

1124
01:30:54,460 --> 01:30:55,860
So help me God.

1125
01:30:55,930 --> 01:30:58,880
And that�s all you'll say.
Four short responses,

1126
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:01,990
kiss the book, sign the oath,
and you're King.

1127
01:31:03,480 --> 01:31:04,330
Easy.

1128
01:31:17,710 --> 01:31:20,460
You nearly crowned him backwards
Archbishop!

1129
01:31:21,850 --> 01:31:25,800
Someone had removed the thread
marking the back of the Crown, Sir.

1130
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:28,760
Try not lose the thread, Archbishop.

1131
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:31,670
Archbishop, we're missing Papa.

1132
01:31:36,270 --> 01:31:39,570
Very good, very good. Archbishop.

1133
01:31:41,110 --> 01:31:44,140
Well, I hope Your Majesties are thrilled
with the result.

1134
01:31:44,190 --> 01:31:47,370
You can switch that machine off now.

1135
01:31:47,660 --> 01:31:49,460
No, wait, keep going.

1136
01:31:50,330 --> 01:31:52,060
Do have a seat, Archbishop.

1137
01:31:52,110 --> 01:31:56,140
Meshes of uniformed men, stupefying to the eye
and incredible to the imagination

1138
01:31:56,460 --> 01:31:58,670
have stood in spellbound audience of the F�hrer.

1139
01:32:11,430 --> 01:32:13,040
Papa? Mmm?

1140
01:32:13,066 --> 01:32:14,400
Papa, what�s he saying?

1141
01:32:14,980 --> 01:32:18,300
I don�t know, but he seems to be
saying it rather well.

1142
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:43,030
Sir, I have asked to see you today

1143
01:32:43,077 --> 01:32:47,237
in order to tender my resignation
as Prime Minister.

1144
01:32:49,050 --> 01:32:51,600
I'm so sorry to hear that, Mr Baldwin.

1145
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:55,720
Neville Chamberlain will take my place
as Prime Minister.

1146
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:59,330
It�s a matter of principal.
I was mistaken.

1147
01:33:01,370 --> 01:33:06,940
I have found it impossible to believe
that there is any man in the World

1148
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,890
so lacking in moral feeling as Hitler.

1149
01:33:13,500 --> 01:33:20,300
That the world may be hurled for a second
time into the abyss of destructive war.

1150
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:27,800
Churchill was right all along.
This was always Hitler�s intention.

1151
01:33:29,340 --> 01:33:33,300
I'm really very sorry to leave you at
this great time of crisis.

1152
01:33:36,610 --> 01:33:42,320
I'm very much afraid, Sir, that your
greatest test is yet to come.

1153
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:53,480
I am speaking to you from the cabinet
room at 10 Downing Street.

1154
01:33:55,490 --> 01:33:58,990
This morning the British Ambassador
in Berlin

1155
01:33:59,740 --> 01:34:03,070
handed the German Government a final note

1156
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:08,900
stating that unless we heard from them
by 11 o�clock

1157
01:34:09,670 --> 01:34:14,220
that they were prepared at once to
withdraw their troops from Poland,

1158
01:34:14,850 --> 01:34:18,170
a state of war would exist between us.

1159
01:34:19,950 --> 01:34:24,780
I have to tell you now that no such
undertaking has been received,

1160
01:34:25,970 --> 01:34:31,060
and that consequently this country is
at war with Germany.

1161
01:34:37,410 --> 01:34:42,240
At last Sir, here is your speech.
You are on air at six.

1162
01:34:42,780 --> 01:34:49,510
I�ve timed it to just under nine minutes.
The wording is fully approved.

1163
01:34:50,020 --> 01:34:52,790
The Prime Minister will be joining you
for the broadcast

1164
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:57,230
which will go out live across the Nation,
the Empire and to our Armed Forces.

1165
01:34:57,280 --> 01:34:59,230
Get Logue here immediately.

1166
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:16,340
There's the barrage balloons.
Yes.

1167
01:35:18,190 --> 01:35:20,480
They got them up there quickly. Yeah.

1168
01:35:33,580 --> 01:35:37,540
Should we pull over and find shelter?
No, go straight there. We�ll be all right

1169
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,070
Yes. Sir?
Lionel Logue.

1170
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:52,040
Major Hartley's expecting me.
This is my son Laurie.

1171
01:36:00,180 --> 01:36:01,860
Thank you, Laurie.
Good luck, Dad.

1172
01:36:08,950 --> 01:36:10,110
The King�s Speech.
Thank you, Sir.

1173
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:13,040
You have about forty minutes until
the broadcast.

1174
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,600
Thank you very much. Thank you.

1175
01:36:18,610 --> 01:36:23,940
There may be dark days ahead, and...

1176
01:36:24,860 --> 01:36:26,360
Try again.

1177
01:36:30,100 --> 01:36:34,160
There may be dark days ahead, and...

1178
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:39,110
Turn the hesitations into pauses, and say
to yourself, �God save the King�.

1179
01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:42,660
I say that continuously,
but apparently no one�s listening.

1180
01:36:42,820 --> 01:36:46,130
Long pauses are good: they add
solemnity to great occasions.

1181
01:36:46,180 --> 01:36:49,030
Then I�m the solemnest king who ever lived.

1182
01:36:49,740 --> 01:36:53,460
You know, if I'm a King...
where's my power?

1183
01:36:53,670 --> 01:37:01,530
Can I... Can I form a Government? Can I...
Can I levy a tax or declare a war? No!

1184
01:37:01,660 --> 01:37:03,830
And yet I'm the seat of all authority.
Why?

1185
01:37:03,880 --> 01:37:09,530
Because the Nation believes that
when I speak, I speak for them.

1186
01:37:09,580 --> 01:37:11,130
But I can't speak!

1187
01:37:12,770 --> 01:37:16,370
Let�s take it all again from the top.
In this grave hour...

1188
01:37:28,070 --> 01:37:32,040
In this grave hour, fuck-fuck-fuck

1189
01:37:32,090 --> 01:37:35,350
perhaps the most fateful in our history,
bugger-shit-shit

1190
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:39,050
I send to every household of my...

1191
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:44,190
You see, "P" is always difficult,
even when I'm singing.

1192
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:47,390
Bounce onto it: "a-peoples", not "people".

1193
01:37:47,750 --> 01:37:55,090
a-people household of  my...
a-peoples both at home and overseas...

1194
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:56,700
Beautiful.

1195
01:37:56,960 --> 01:38:01,960
...this message, doo-dah, spoken with
the same depth of feeling, doo-dah-dey,

1196
01:38:02,010 --> 01:38:05,960
...for each one of you as if I were able
to shit-fuck-bugger

1197
01:38:06,010 --> 01:38:09,020
to cross your threshold and speak to you

1198
01:38:10,900 --> 01:38:12,910
In your head, now: I have a right to be
bloody well heard!

1199
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:16,660
Bloody well heard, bloody well heard,
bloody well heard myself!

1200
01:38:17,080 --> 01:38:19,660
Now, waltz. Move!
Get continuous movement.

1201
01:38:19,710 --> 01:38:25,400
For the second time in the lives of most
of us we are at...

1202
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:27,900
we are...
Take a pause.

1203
01:38:27,906 --> 01:38:28,906
Lionel, I can�t do this.

1204
01:38:29,170 --> 01:38:31,210
Bertie, you can do it.

1205
01:38:33,330 --> 01:38:36,830
Have a look at the last paragraph.
Bertie, it�s time.

1206
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:42,290
There he is.

1207
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:52,870
Archbishop.
Your Majesty.

1208
01:38:53,990 --> 01:38:55,660
A great moment, Sir.

1209
01:39:00,140 --> 01:39:02,340
Prime Minister.
Your Majesty.

1210
01:39:04,260 --> 01:39:08,720
Nice to see you again, so soon.

1211
01:39:14,140 --> 01:39:20,000
Good of you to be here.
I�m sure you�ve had a rather busy day.

1212
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:24,380
We hope we have no more interruptions
from those damned sirens, Sir.

1213
01:39:24,430 --> 01:39:26,560
Or the wretched dogs.

1214
01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:33,000
Congratulations, First Lord of the Admiralty.
Your Majesty.

1215
01:39:36,990 --> 01:39:40,030
The long walk.

1216
01:39:42,820 --> 01:39:44,320
Good luck, Sir.

1217
01:39:46,210 --> 01:39:52,240
I too dread this apparatus. Had a speech
impediment myself, you know.

1218
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,760
I didn�t.
Family secret. Tongue-tied.

1219
01:39:57,530 --> 01:40:00,190
An operation was considered to be
too dangerous.

1220
01:40:00,240 --> 01:40:03,790
I eventually made an asset of it.

1221
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:09,110
Thank you, Mr Churchill.
Sir.

1222
01:40:09,990 --> 01:40:11,340
Darling.

1223
01:40:11,460 --> 01:40:14,560
How long, Logue?
Just under three minutes, Sir.

1224
01:40:30,440 --> 01:40:32,140
Five seconds, Sir.

1225
01:40:32,900 --> 01:40:37,110
5, 4, 3 , 2 , 1.

1226
01:40:45,220 --> 01:40:47,620
Mr Wood.
Good luck, Your Majesty.

1227
01:40:50,810 --> 01:40:52,310
Mr Wood.

1228
01:40:52,930 --> 01:40:55,730
You've redecorated, Logue.
I made it cozy.

1229
01:40:57,980 --> 01:40:59,640
Some fresh air.

1230
01:41:00,470 --> 01:41:02,480
There you are, Darling.

1231
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:10,750
I'm thistle sifter, I've a sieve of sifted
thistles and a sieve on unsifted thistles.

1232
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:15,080
I've a sieve of sifted thistles and a sieve
on unsifted thistles, because I'm...

1233
01:41:15,130 --> 01:41:18,130
Bertie, darling, be sure it�s not switched on!

1234
01:41:18,980 --> 01:41:22,660
Remember the red light will blink four times
and I�ve asked them to turn it off,

1235
01:41:22,710 --> 01:41:26,810
because we don�t want that evil eye
staring at you all the way through.

1236
01:41:27,260 --> 01:41:28,760
One minute, sir.

1237
01:41:31,350 --> 01:41:33,500
I'm sure you will be splendid.

1238
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:47,050
Forty seconds, Sir.

1239
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:53,720
Logue, however this turns out,

1240
01:41:56,050 --> 01:41:59,150
I don�t know how to thank you
for what you�ve done.

1241
01:42:02,300 --> 01:42:03,800
Knighthood?

1242
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:10,020
Twenty seconds.

1243
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:20,500
Forget everything else and just say
it to me.

1244
01:42:20,962 --> 01:42:23,699
Say it to me, as a friend.

1245
01:43:05,610 --> 01:43:09,620
In this grave hour,

1246
01:43:10,968 --> 01:43:11,968
(Breathe)

1247
01:43:16,690 --> 01:43:21,790
perhaps the most fateful in our history,

1248
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:30,200
I send to every household of my... peoples,

1249
01:43:32,009 --> 01:43:33,209
a-peoples...

1250
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:38,400
both at home

1251
01:43:43,310 --> 01:43:44,510
and overseas

1252
01:43:54,900 --> 01:43:56,400
this message

1253
01:43:58,070 --> 01:44:02,010
spoken with the same depth of feeling

1254
01:44:03,270 --> 01:44:04,820
for each one of you

1255
01:44:05,710 --> 01:44:09,730
as if I were able to cross your threshold

1256
01:44:10,890 --> 01:44:14,380
and speak to you myself.

1257
01:44:18,770 --> 01:44:22,710
For the second time in the lives of
most of us

1258
01:44:23,700 --> 01:44:26,200
we are at... at war.

1259
01:44:26,371 --> 01:44:27,371
(Fuck-fuck-fuck)

1260
01:44:27,632 --> 01:44:28,632
... at war.

1261
01:44:32,740 --> 01:44:36,710
Over and over again

1262
01:44:38,190 --> 01:44:41,030
we have tried to find

1263
01:44:43,670 --> 01:44:51,700
a peaceful way out of the differences
between ourselves

1264
01:44:53,120 --> 01:45:00,750
and those who are now our enemies.

1265
01:45:02,790 --> 01:45:05,980
But it has been in vain.

1266
01:45:08,170 --> 01:45:11,570
We have been forced into a conflict.

1267
01:45:12,940 --> 01:45:17,610
For we are called, to meet the challenge
of a principle

1268
01:45:18,990 --> 01:45:21,250
which, if it were to prevail,

1269
01:45:21,970 --> 01:45:25,570
would be fatal to any civilized order

1270
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:28,250
in the world.

1271
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:31,440
Such a principle,

1272
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:36,770
stripped of all disguise,

1273
01:45:38,220 --> 01:45:40,810
is surely the mere

1274
01:45:44,700 --> 01:45:50,700
primitive doctrine that might is right.

1275
01:45:52,700 --> 01:45:57,460
For the sake of all that we ourselves
hold dear,

1276
01:45:58,590 --> 01:46:08,670
it is unthinkable that we should refuse
to meet the challenge.

1277
01:46:11,570 --> 01:46:18,840
It is to this high purpose
that I now call

1278
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:26,670
my people at home and my peoples across
the seas,

1279
01:46:27,420 --> 01:46:32,040
who will make our cause their own.

1280
01:46:32,790 --> 01:46:38,580
I ask them to stand calm and firm,

1281
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:43,590
and united in this time of trial

1282
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:47,020
the task will be hard.

1283
01:46:48,460 --> 01:46:52,010
There may be dark days ahead,

1284
01:46:52,550 --> 01:46:59,820
and war can no longer be confined
to the battlefield.

1285
01:47:00,750 --> 01:47:05,510
But we can only do the right
as we see the right

1286
01:47:06,580 --> 01:47:14,520
and reverently commit our cause to God.

1287
01:47:16,950 --> 01:47:24,520
If one and all we keep resolutely
faithful to it,

1288
01:47:25,770 --> 01:47:29,720
then, with God�s help,

1289
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:35,330
we shall prevail.

1290
01:47:50,770 --> 01:47:52,270
That was very good, Bertie.

1291
01:48:07,210 --> 01:48:09,630
You still stammered on the �w�.

1292
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:14,380
I had to throw in a few so they knew it was me.

1293
01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:22,770
Congratulations, your Majesty.
A true broadcaster.

1294
01:48:22,820 --> 01:48:24,370
Thank you, Mr Wood.

1295
01:48:27,510 --> 01:48:29,610
Congratulations, your Majesty.

1296
01:48:30,540 --> 01:48:33,340
Congratulations, your Majesty.
Thank you.

1297
01:48:44,270 --> 01:48:45,770
Ready.

1298
01:48:46,660 --> 01:48:48,160
Good?
Perfect.

1299
01:48:49,900 --> 01:48:54,430
Your first wartime speech.
Congratulations.

1300
01:48:55,890 --> 01:48:59,780
Expect I shall have to do
a great deal more.

1301
01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:05,460
Thank you, Logue.

1302
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:18,400
Well done, my friend.

1303
01:49:21,090 --> 01:49:24,380
Thank you, Your Majesty.

1304
01:49:37,390 --> 01:49:39,040
I knew you�d be good.

1305
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,040
Thank you, Lionel.

1306
01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:56,220
Onwards?

1307
01:49:57,070 --> 01:49:58,940
Congratulations, Sir.

1308
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:02,380
Wouldn't have said it better myself, Sir.

1309
01:50:02,430 --> 01:50:05,170
Your Majesty, I am speechless.

1310
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:07,240
Congratulations, Sir.

1311
01:50:07,430 --> 01:50:08,540
Gentlemen.

1312
01:50:09,340 --> 01:50:11,010
Congratulations, your Majesty.

1313
01:50:11,060 --> 01:50:12,830
So how was Papa, Elizabeth?

1314
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:18,540
Halting at first, but you got much
better, Papa.

1315
01:50:19,110 --> 01:50:20,210
Bless you.

1316
01:50:21,340 --> 01:50:25,030
And how about you, Margaret?
You were just splendid, Papa.

1317
01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:26,500
Of course I was.

1318
01:50:28,550 --> 01:50:30,050
We all ready?

1319
01:50:30,780 --> 01:50:32,280
Come on girls.

1320
01:52:03,932 --> 01:52:11,932
