#2. THE KING’S SPEECH
Bertie: What are you doing? Get up! You can’t sit there, get up!
Lionel: Why not? It’s a chair.
Bertie: Look it… That is not a chair! That is… Tha.. That is St. Edward’s chair!
Lionel: People have carved their names on it.
Bertie: That chair is the seat on which every King and Queen—
Lionel: It’s held in place by a large rock!
Bertie: That is Stone of Scone, you’re… You’re trivialising everything—
Lionel: I don’t care. I don’t care how many Royal arses have sat on this chair—
Bertie: Listen to me. Listen to me. LISTEN TO ME!
Lionel: Listen to you?! By what right?
Bertie: My divine right, if you must! I’m your King!
Lionel: Nooo you’re not. Told me so yourself. Said you didn’t want it. Why should I waste my time listening?
Bertie: Because I have a right to be heard!
Lionel: Heard as what?
Bertie: I HAVE VOICE!
Lionel: Yes you do.
