登基之后，大卫爱美人不爱江山的表现让伯蒂非常焦心……
Lionel: What's the matter? Why are you so upset?
Bertie: Logue, you…you have no idea. My…my brother is infatuated[着迷的] with a woman who's been married twice. She's asking for divorce, and he is determined to marry her.
Lionel: Jesus.
Bertie: Mrs. Wallis Simpson of Baltimore.
Lionel: That's not right. Queen Wallis of Baltimore?
Bertie: Unthinkable.
Lionel: Can he do it?
Bertie: Absolutely not, but he's going to anyway. All hell's broken loose.
Lionel: Can't they just carry on privately?
Bertie: If only they would.
Lionel: Where does this leave you?
Bertie: I know my place. I, I'll do anything in my power to keep my brother on the throne. 
Lionel: Is it that serious? Your place may well be on the throne.
Bertie: I am not an alternative[二中择一] to my brother!
Lionel: You can outshine[胜过] David...
Bertie: Don't take liberties! That's bordering on[接近] treason[叛国罪].
Lionel: I'm just saying you could be king. You could do it.
Bertie: That is treason.
Lionel: I'm trying to get you to realize you needn't be governed by fear.
Bertie: I've had enough of this.
Lionel: What're you so afraid of?
Bertie: Your poisonous words!
Lionel: Why did you come to me? You're not some middle-class banker who wants elocution[演说术] lesson so you can chitchat[聊天] at posh[上流的] tea parties. Come on, Bertie…
Bertie: Don't attempt to instruct me on my duties! I'm the son of a…king—the brother of a…a king! You're the disappointing son of a brewer[酿啤酒的人]! A jumped-up[自命不凡的] jackeroo[新手] from the outback[指澳大利亚的偏僻内陆]! You're nobody! These sessions are over!
莱昂纳尔：怎么了？为什么你这么生气？
伯蒂：罗格，你……你有所不知。
我……我哥哥迷上了一个结过两次婚的女人。她正在办离婚，他铁了心要娶她。
莱昂纳尔：天啊。
伯蒂：来自（美国）巴尔的摩的沃利斯·辛普森夫人。
莱昂纳尔：听着就不对劲——来自巴尔的摩的沃利斯王后？
伯蒂：真是无法想象。
莱昂纳尔：他能这么做吗？
伯蒂：绝对不行，不过他是不会罢手的，事情马上就会一团糟。
莱昂纳尔：他们就不能私下来往吗？
伯蒂：他们愿意才怪呢。
莱昂纳尔：那你打算怎么办？
伯蒂：我知道自己的立场。我……我会尽一切所能，帮哥哥保住王位。
莱昂纳尔：事态会如此严重吗？你自己也许会当上国王呢。
伯蒂：我无意顶替哥哥！
莱昂纳尔：你会比大卫更称职……
伯蒂：你太放肆了！这简直就是叛国罪。
莱昂纳尔：我只是说你有能力当国王。你完全胜任。
伯蒂：这是叛国。
莱昂纳尔：我想让你明白，你没必要被恐惧束缚住手脚。
伯蒂：我受够了。
莱昂纳尔：什么东西让你这么害怕？
伯蒂：你恶毒的蛊惑！
莱昂纳尔：那你为什么来找我？你可不是什么中产银行家，为了在上流茶会闲聊而训练嘴皮子。得了吧，伯蒂……
伯蒂：我的职责不用你插嘴！我的父亲
是……国王——我的哥哥是……国王！你只不过是酿酒师那一事无成的儿子！从澳洲乡下跑来的菜鸟，还一副自命不凡的模样！你只是一个无名小卒！我们的治疗结束了！
口语锦囊
“all hell broke loose”是一个固定习语，意思是“突然喧闹起来，一片混乱”，选段中为语态变化。
“take liberties”作为及物动词短语使用时常与“with”搭配，意思是“对他人太随便，放肆，失礼”，也可以表示“歪曲或任意篡改（文章、历史等）”，例如：
He may not tell lies, but he does often take liberties with the truth. （他也许不是说谎，但他确实经常歪曲事实。）
