The Kings Speech -

Bertie opened his mouth. The first sound was a prisoner trying the bars of its cage. "G-good... good..."

The engineer held up his fingers. Three. Two. One. the kings speech

He saw Lionel lean forward. Not to rescue him, but to remind him: You are your own man. You are not your father. You are not your brother. Bertie opened his mouth

Outside, across London, across England, people stood in their kitchens and parlors, handkerchiefs pressed to mouths. A few wept. Most simply breathed again. the kings speech

In the silence that followed, Lionel stood and walked over. He said nothing. He simply placed a hand on Bertie's shoulder.
