[edit] Willy Wonka
- [sings] If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to, do it.
You'll want to change the world.
There's nothing to it.
There is no
Life I know
To compare with pure imagination.
Living there, you'll be free,
If you truly wish to be.
- [sings] A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men.
- [in the tunnel] There's no earthly way of knowing,
Which direction we are going.
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing.
Is it raining? Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing,
So the danger must be growing!
Are the fires of hell a glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes! The danger must be growing!
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing!
[edit] Oompa Loompas
- [sing] Oompa loompa doompadee doo.
- I've got a perfect puzzle for you.
- Oompa loompa doompadee dee.
- If you are wise, you'll listen to me.
- What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?
- Eating as much as an elephant eats.
- What are you at getting terribly fat?
- What do you think will come of that?
- I don't like the look of it!
- Oompa loompa doompadee dah.
- If you're not greedy, you will go far.
- You will live in happiness too,
- Like the oompa loompa doompadee do!
- Doompadee doo!
[edit] Dialogue
- Veruca: I wanted to be the first to find a Golden Ticket, Daddy.
- Mr. Salt: I know, angel! We're doing the best we can. I've got every girl in the bleeding staff hunting for ya.
- Veruca: All right! Where is it?! Why haven't they found it?!
- Mr. Salt: Veruca, sweetheart, I'm not a magician! Gimme time!
- Veruca: I want it now! What's the matter with those twerps down there?!
- Mr. Salt: For 5 days now, the entire flipping factory's been on the job! They haven't shelled their peanuts in there since Monday! They've been shelling flaming chocolate bars from dawn to dusk!
- Veruca: Make 'em work nights!
- (Mr. Salt turns angrily to his staff)
- Mr. Salt: Come along! Come along, you girls! Put a jack in it! Or you'll be out in your ears! Every one of ya! And listen to this! The first girl that finds a Golden Ticket gets a 1-pound bonus in her pay packet! What do you think of that?!!
- (the staff cheers and continues on)
- Veruca: They're not even trying! They don't want to find it. They're jealous of me.
- Mr. Salt: Sweetheart, I can't push 'em no harder. 19,000 bars an hour, they're shelling. 760,000, they've done so far!
- Veruca: You promised, Daddy. You promised I'd have it the very first day!
- (the boat is going extremely fast)
- Mr. Salt: Wonka, this has gone far enough!
- Wonka: Quite right, sir! STOP THE BOAT!!
- (the boat stops)
- Grandpa Joe: Mr. Wonka?
- Wonka: I am extraordinarily busy, sir.
- Grandpa Joe: I just wanted to ask about the chocolate, the lifetime supply of chocolate, for Charlie. When does he get it?
- Wonka: He doesn't.
- Grandpa Joe: Why not?
- Wonka: Because he broke the rules.
- Grandpa Joe: What rules? We didn't see any rules, did we, Charlie?
- Wonka: [angrily] Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum! It's all there! Black and white, clear as crystal! You STOLE Fizzy-Lifting Drinks! You BUMPED into the ceiling, which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get... NOTHING!!! You lose! GOOD DAY, SIR! [returns to work]
- Grandpa Joe: [shocked] You're a crook... [furiously] You're a cheat and a swindler...! That's what you are! How can you do a thing like this?! Build up a little boy's hopes, and then smash all his dreams to pieces?! [lividly] You're an inhuman monster...!
- Wonka: I said "GOOD DAY"!! [goes on about his work]
- Grandpa Joe: Come on, Charlie. Let's get out of here. [sets to leave] I'll get even with him if it's the last thing I ever do. If Slugworth wants a Gobstopper, he'll get one.
- Wonka: [puts his hand on the Everlasting Gobstopper that Charlie has just given up to him, while writing] "So shines a good deed in a weary world." [looks up] Charlie? My boy. You've won! You did it! You did it! I knew you would! I just knew you would! Oh, Charlie, forgive me for putting you through this. Please, forgive me. Come in, Mr. Wilkinson! [The man originally known as Slugworth walks in.] Charlie, meet Mr. Wilkinson!
- Wilkinson: Pleasure!
- Charlie: Slugworth!
- Wonka: No, no! That's not Slugworth. He works for me!
- Charlie: For you?
- Wonka: I had to test you, Charlie. And you passed the test! You won!
- Grandpa Joe: Won what?!
- Wonka: The jackpot, my dear sir! The grand and glorious jackpot!
- Charlie: The chocolate?
- Wonka: The chocolate, yes! The chocolate, but that's just the beginning! We hafta get on! We hafta get on! We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it. This way, please!
