King George VI : [ Sees Logue is sitting on the coronation throne ] What are you doing? Get up! You can't sit there! GET UP!
Lionel Logue : Why not? It's a chair.
King George VI : No, that. It is not a chair. T-that... that is Saint Edward's chair.
Lionel Logue : People have carved their names on it.
King George VI : [ Simultaneously ] That... chair... is the seat on which every king and queen has... That is the Stone of Scone you ah-are trivializing everything. You trivialize...
Lionel Logue : [ Simultaneously ] It's held in place by a large rock. I don't care about how many royal arseholes have sat in this chair.
King George VI : Listen to me. *Listen to me!*
Lionel Logue : Listen to you? By what right?
King George VI : By divine right if you must, I am your king.
Lionel Logue : No you're not, you told me so yourself. You didn't want it. Why should I waste my time listening?
King George VI : Because I have a right to be heard. I have a voice!
Lionel Logue : [ pauses ] Yes, you do. [ Longer pause ]
Lionel Logue : You have such perseverance Bertie, you're the bravest man I know.
