Dialogue

Grandma Josephine: Tell him about the Indian prince. He'd love to hear that.

Grandpa Joe: You mean Prince Pondicherry? Well, Prince Pondicherry wrote a letter to Mr. Wonka, and asked him to travel all the way out to India. And build him a colossal palace entirely out of chocolate.

[Flashback to New Delhi, India; the chocolate palace is being built]

Willy: It'll have 100 rooms, and everything will be made of either dark or light chocolate.

Grandpa Joe: True to his word, the bricks were chocolate, and the cement holding them together was chocolate. All the walls and ceilings were made of chocolate as well. So were the carpets, and the pictures, and the furniture.

Prince Pondicherry: It is perfect… in every way.

Willy: Yeah, but it wouldn't last long. You'd better start eating right now.

Prince Pondicherry: [scoffs] Nonsense. I will not eat my palace. I intend to live in it.

Grandpa Joe: But Mr. Wonka was right, of course. Soon after this, there came a very hot day with a boiling sun.

[A drop of chocolate drips on Prince Pondicherry's forehead; Pondicherry touches the chocolate drop on him and tastes it, and laughs as his wife smiles until three more drops drip on him, then sees some parts of the palace starting to melt; Some drops of chocolate drip on the princess's face; They see more of the chocolate melting faster, including the rooftop; In the late afternoon, they watch the palace collapsing after making it out alive, but still covered in chocolate]

Grandpa Joe: The prince sent an urgent telegram requesting a new palace, but Willy Wonka was facing problems of his own.

Grandpa Joe: Fickelgruber started making an ice cream that would never melt. Prodnose came out with a chewing gum that never lost its flavor. Then Slugworth began making candy balloons that you could blow up to incredible sizes. The thievery got so bad, that one day without a warning, Mr. Wonka told every single one of his workers to go home. He announced that he was closing his chocolate factory forever.

Willy: [on speaker] I'm closing my chocolate factory forever. I'm sorry.

Charlie: Hasn't someone asked Mr. Wonka?

Grandpa Joe: Nobody sees him anymore. He never comes out.

Willy: [voice-over through letter] Dear people of the world… I, Willy Wonka, have decided to allow five children to visit my factory this year. In addition, one of these children shall receive a special prize beyond anything you could ever imagine.

Grandpa Joe: Wouldn't it be something, Charlie, to open a bar of candy and find a Golden Ticket inside?

Charlie: I know. But I only get one bar a year. For my birthday.

Mrs. Bucket: Well, it's your birthday next week.

Grandma Josephine: You have as much chance as anybody does.

Grandpa George: Balderdash. The kids who're going to find the Golden Tickets are the ones who can afford to buy candy bars every day. Our Charlie gets only one a year. He doesn't have a chance.

Grandma Josephine: Everyone has a chance, Charlie.

Grandpa George: Mark my words. The kid who finds the first ticket will be fat, fat, fat!

[Cut to Augustus Gloop being interviewed at a butcher's shop in Düsseldorf, Germany for finding the first golden ticket]

Augustus: I'm eating the Wonka bar and I taste something that is not chocolate. Or coconut, or walnut, or peanut butter, or nougat, or butter brittle, or caramel, or sprinkles. So I look and… I find the golden ticket!

German Reporter: Augustus, how did you celebrate.

Augustus: I eat more candy.

Mrs. Gloop: We knew Augustus would find the golden ticket. He eats so many candy bars a day that it was not possible for him not to find one.

Grandpa George: Told you it'd be a porker.

Grandma Josephine: What a repulsive boy.

Charlie: Only four golden tickets left.

Grandpa Joe: Now that they've found one, things will really get crazy.

[Cut to Veruca Salt being interviewed at her family estate in Buckinghamshire, England for finding the second ticket]

England Reporter: Veruca, can you spell that for us, please?

Veruca: [spelling out her name] V-E-R-U-C-A. Veruca Salt.

Mr. Salt: As soon as my little Veruca told me she had to have one of these golden tickets, I started buying up all the Wonka bars I could lay my hands on. Thousands of them. Hundreds of thousands.

Grandpa George: [watching Veruca on the news] She's even worse than the fat boy.

Charlie: I didn't think that was really fair. She didn't find the ticket herself.

Grandpa Joe: Don't worry, Charlie. That man spoils his daughter. And no good ever comes of spoiling a child like that.

[Beaureguarde house in Atlanta, Georgia; Violet and her mother are being interviewed after finding the third ticket]

Mrs. Beaureguarde: These are just some of the 263 trophies and medals my Violet has won.

Violet: I'm a gum chewer mostly, but when I heard about these ticket things, I laid off the gum, switched to candy bars.

Mrs. Beaureguarde: She's just a driven young woman. I don't know where she gets it.

Violet: [looks at the gum chewing trophy for a quick second and back] I'm the junior world champion gum chewer. This piece of gum I'm working on right now, I've been chewing on for three months solid. That's a record.

Mrs. Beaureguarde Of course, I did have my share of trophies. Mostly baton.

Violet: So this one kid's gonna get a special prize? Better than all the rest? I don’t care who the other four are. That kid, it's gonna be me.

Mrs. Beaureguarde Tell them why, Violet.

Violet: [on TV] Because I'm a winner.

Grandma Josephine: [offended] What a beastly girl!

Grandma Georgina: Despicable.

Grandpa George: You don't know what we're talking about. (Do you?)

Grandma Georgina: Dragonflies?

Reporter: [on TV] But, wait. This is just in. The fourth golden ticket has been found by a boy called Mike Teavee.

[Cut to the Teavee house in Denver, Colorado; Mike is being interviewed alongside his parents while playing a video game]

Mike: All you had to do was track the manufacturing dates, offset by weather, and the derivative of the Nikkei lndex. A retard could figure it out. [goes back to playing his game]

Mr. Teavee: Most of the time, I don't know what he's talking about. You know, kids these days, what with all the technology…

Mike: DIE! DIE! DIE!

Mr. Teavee: Doesn't seem like they stay kids very long.

Mike: In the end, I only had to buy one candy bar.

Reporter: And how did it taste?

Mike: I don't know. I hate chocolate.

[Cut back to the Bucket home, as a clearly appalled Grandpa George snaps over Mike Teavee's remark]

Grandpa George: Well, it's a good thing you're going to a chocolate factory, you ungrateful little bu-

[Mr. Bucket quickly claps his hands over Charlie's ears so he can't hear George's obscene tirade]

Charlie: [running home in a flash after finding the last golden ticket] Mom! Dad! I found it! The last golden ticket! It's mine! [gives the ticket to Grandpa Joe]

Grandpa Joe: [looks at the ticket as his vision becomes clear; joyfully] Yippee! [gets out of bed and dances while humming a tune] Here. [gives the ticket to Mr. and Mrs. Bucket] Read it out loud. Let's hear exactly what it says.

Mr. Bucket: [reading the golden ticket] "Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this golden ticket from Mr. Willy Wonka. I shake you warmly by the hand. For now, I do invite you to come to my factory, and be my guest for one whole day."

Violet: [reading] "I, Willy Wonka, will conduct you around the factory myself, showing you everything there is to see."

Augustus: [reading] "Afterwards, when it is time to leave, you will be escorted home by a procession of large trucks, each one filled with all the chocolate you could ever eat."

Veruca: [reading] "And remember, one of you lucky five children will receive an extra prize beyond your wildest imagination. Now, here are your instructions."

Mike: [reading] "On the first of February, you must come to the factory gates at 10:00 A.M. sharp. You're allowed to bring one member of your family to look after you. Till then, Willy Wonka."

[Back to the Bucket House]

Mrs. Bucket: The first of February. That's tomorrow!

[On the first day of February… the five children and their family members are waiting in front of the factory gates, waiting for them to open]

Veruca: Daddy, I want to go in.

Mr. Salt: [looks at the time on his watch] It's 9:59, sweetheart.

Veruca: Make time go faster.

Charlie: Do you think Mr. Wonka will recognize you?

Grandpa Joe: Hard to say. It's been years.

Mrs. Beaureguarde: Eyes on the prize, Violet. Eyes on the prize.

[The gates slowly start to open]

Willy: [over speakers] Please enter. [The guests enter through the gates] Come forward. [They walk forward to the doors before the gates close] Close the gates. Dear visitors, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to my humble factory.

Augustus: Do you want some chocolate?

Charlie: Sure.

Augustus: Then you should have want some.

Veruca: [to Violet] Let's be friends.

Violet: Best friends.

Veruca: [sees something across the chocolate river while licking a lollipop] Daddy, look over there! [a little figure in a red suit is revealed next to the waterfall] What is it? It's a little person. Over there, by the waterfall.

Mrs. Beauregarde: There's two of them.

Mr. Teavee: There's more than two.

Mrs. Gloop: Where do they come from?

Charlie: Who are they?

Mike: [to Wonka] Are they real people?

Willy: Of course they're real people. They're Oompa-Loompas.

Mr. Salt: Oompa-Loompas?

Willy: Imported, direct from Loompaland.

[After Willy shares his information about how he found the Oompa-Loompas and made a deal with the chief to come to work in his factory, Mrs. Gloop sees her son drinking the chocolate river from across]

Mrs. Gloop: [alarmed] Augustus, my child, that is not a good thing you do!

Willy: [horrifed] Hey, little boy! My chocolate must be untouched by human hands!

[Suddenly, Augustus falls into the river, covered in chocolate, and is unable to swim]

Mrs. Gloop: [fearfully] HE'LL DROWN! HE CAN'T SWIM! SAVE HIM! AUGUSTUS, NO! Augustus! AUGUSTUS, WATCH OUT!

[The pipe sucks up the chocolate and Augustus circles around, who gets flushed away down the river, sucked in and goes up]

Violet: There he goes.

Mrs. Gloop: [desperately] CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE!

Mrs. Beauregarde: It's a wonder how that pipe is big enough.

Charlie: It isn't big enough. He's slowing down.

Mike: He's gonna stick.

[Augustus slowly comes to a stop, blocking the pipe]

Mr. Teavee: I think he has.

Mr. Salt: He's blocked the whole pipe.

Charlie: Mr. Wonka?

Willy: Huh?

Charlie: How would Augustus' name already be in the Oompa-Loompa song? Unless they-

Willy: Improvisation is a parlor trick, Charlie. Anyone can do it. [turns to Violet] You, little girl, say something. Anything.

Violet: Chewing gum.

Willy: Chewing gum is really gross, chewing gum I hate the most. See, Exactly the same.

Willy: Stop the boat! I want to show you guys something.

[The boat comes to a stop at the entrance to the Inventing Room]

Veruca: [realizes something wrong with Violet] What's happening to her nose?

[A small blue dot appears on Violet's nose and it slowly starts to spread]

Mr. Salt: It's turning blue.

Mrs. Beauregarde: Your whole nose has gone purple.

Violet: W-What do you mean?

Mrs. Beauregarde: Violet, you're turning violet!

Charlie: [to Mr. Wonka] Can you (even) remember the first candy you ever ate?

Willy: [confused] No. (Not really.)

Oompa-Loompa: [narrating] In fact, Willy Wonka did remember the first candy he ever ate.

Mr. Salt: [about the squirrels taking Veruca] Where are they taking her?

Willy: Where all the other bad nuts go, to the garbage chute.

Mr. Salt: Where does the chute go to?!

Willy: To the incinerator. But don't worry, we only light it on Tuesdays.

Mike: Today is Tuesday.

Willy: Well, there's always a chance they decided not to light it today.

[Willy, Charlie, Mike, Mr. Teevee, and Grandpa Joe are whizzing downward through the Exploding Candy Room in the Great Glass Elevator]

Mike: Why is everything here completely pointless?

Charlie: Candy doesn't have to have a point. That's why it's candy.

[Willy smiles endearingly]

Mike: It's stupid. [in Wilbur's voice] Candy is a waste of time.

Willy: Oh, thank heavens, he's completely unharmed.

Mr. Teavee: Unharmed? What are you talking about?!

Mike: [in high-pitched voice] Just put me back in the other way.

Willy: There is no other way. It's television, not telephone. It's quite a difference.

[Augustus is eating the chocolate off his fingers, still covered in chocolate as he and his mother exit the factory door]

Mrs. Gloop: [distressed; sadly] Augustus, please don't eat your fingers.

Augustus: But I taste so good.

[Mrs. Beauregarde and her daughter then walk out of the door; Violet has all the juice squeezed out of her body and is doing handstands and cartwheels, still blue]

Violet: Look, Mother. I'm much more flexible now.

Mrs. Beauregarde: Yes, but you're blue.

[Mr. Salt and his daughter walk out of the door, both covered in garbage]

Veruca: [seeing the glass elevator floating in the sky with Willy, Charlie and Grandpa Joe in it] Daddy, I want a flying glass elevator.

Mr. Salt: Veruca, the only thing you're getting today is a bath, and that's fine.

Veruca: [angrily] But I want it!

[Mr. Teavee and his son are the last to walk out the door; Mike's body is all stretched out and looking tall and thin]

Grandma Georgina: [waking up when Willy's elevator crashes through the house's roof] I think there's someone at the door.

Charlie: Hi, Mom! [gets out of the elevator along with Grandpa Joe and Willy] Mom. Dad. We're back.

Mr. & Mrs. Bucket: Charlie.

Mr. Bucket: Goodness.

Charlie: This is Willy Wonka. He gave us a ride home.

Grandma Georgina: Things are going to get much better.

Oompa-Loompa: [narrating] And for once, Grandma Georgina knew exactly what she was talking about. The next morning, Charlie helped his parents fix the hole in the roof. Grandpa Joe spent the whole day out of bed. He didn't feel tired at all. Charlie's father got a better job at the toothpaste factory: repairing the machine that had replaced him. Things had never been better for the Bucket family. The same could not be said for Willy Wonka.

[At the Bucket house… the family is prepping up dinner at the table just as Charlie and Willy arrive]

Oompa-Loompa: [narrating] It was on this day that Willy Wonka repeated his offer to Charlie, who accepted on one condition.

Charlie: Sorry we're late. We were brainstorming.

Grandpa George: Thought I heard thunder.

Mr. Bucket: [setting up a seat for Willy] You staying for dinner, Willy?

Willy: [taking off his coat and hat] Yes, please.

Grandpa Joe: I'll shuffle the plates.

Grandma Georgina: [as Willy takes a seat between her and Josephine] You smell like peanuts. I love peanuts.

Willy: Oh, thank you. You smell like... old people. And soap. I like it.

Oompa-Loompa: In the end, Charlie Bucket won a chocolate factory. But Willy Wonka got something even better… a family. And one thing was absolutely certain: Life had never been sweeter.
