The King's Speech/Funny
- "That is St. Edward's chair!"
- "People have carved their names in it..."
- "It's held in place with a large rock!"
- "People have carved their names in it..."
- After Lionel calls Albert's past physicians idiots:
Albert: They've all been knighted. |
- Or alternately: "Honey, I don't believe you've met... King George VI?"
- Elizabeth's casual attitude through the whole scene.
- This troper really wanted to be a fly on the wall to see what Lionel's wife was like after the royal couple left! You could just see that he was going to hear about it!
- Elizabeth's casual attitude through the whole scene.
- Lionel learns that Bertie doesn't stutter when he swears. Cue Cluster F-Bomb.
- "And ...tits."
- This last bit elicited a roaring applause from the L.A. Film School screening (which screenwriter David Seidler attended). Who doesn't like tits?
- But tits doesn't even belong on the list!
- Especially since, having ROARED out all the filthy vulgar language he can think of, he says "tits" in a completely normal, even polite voice.
- From the same scene: "Defecation flows trippingly from the tongue."
- "And ...tits."
- Or this:
Lionel: Surely a Prince's brain knows what his mouth is doing. |
- At the very end of the movie:
Lionel: You still stammered a little on the 'W's |
- Lionel asking Bertie to swear more crudely.
Lionel: Do you know the F-word?" |
- Both scenes in the elevator.
- Bertie doing his exercises... with his wife sitting on top of him.
Lionel: And up goes Her Royal Highness... And down goes Her Royal Highness... |
- Elizabeth's reaction to the whole situation is chuckle-worthy too - she is entirely unruffled.
- When Lionel tells Bertie to try singing, since he doesn't stutter when he sings to Camptown Races' tune:
Bertie: You're bark-ing up the wrong tree now, Doc-tor, Doc-tor! |
- Logue and Bertie's first meeting:
Lionel: When speaking with a prince, one waits for the prince to choose the topic. |
- If Logue is talking and it's not heartwarming, it's usually one of these.
- The whole bedtime story, especially:
Albert: And do you know what he turned into? |
- The scene with Logue and his two youngest sons, where he's reciting Shakespeare. It reminds this troper so much of herself, her sister, and her father on a normal evening at home... minus the Shakespeare.
- The final rehearsal, in which Bertie brings out almost every technique he's learned to get his speech across.
