Ben Mendelsohn credited as playing...
King George VI
- King George VI: I believe we are to meet regularly.
- Winston Churchill: Once a week, I'm afraid.
- King George VI: How is... How are you for Mondays?
- Winston Churchill: Um, I shall endeavor to be available on Mondays.
- King George VI: 4:00?
- Winston Churchill: I nap at 4:00.
- King George VI: Is that permissible?
- Winston Churchill: No. But necessary. I work late.
- King George VI: Go to the people. Let them instruct you. Quite silently, they usually do. But tell them... the truth unvarnished.
- King George VI: Winston lacks judgment.
- Neville Chamberlain: He was right about Hitler.
- King George VI: Well, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
- Winston Churchill: On certain matters I have very few people with whom I can... talk frankly.
- King George VI: Perhaps now we have each other.
- Winston Churchill: And I no longer scare you?
- King George VI: A little. But I can cope.
- King George VI: [to Churchill] I confess I had some reservations about you at first. But while some in this country dreaded your appointment, none dreaded it like Adolf Hitler. Whoever can strike fear into that brute's heart is worthy of all our trust.
- King George VI: One never knows what's going to come out of your mouth next. Something that'll flatter, something that'll wound.
- Winston Churchill: My e-emotions are unbridled. A wildness. In the blood. I share with my father. And my mother also. We lack the gift of temperance.
