Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
(MUSIC PLAYING)
NARRATOR:
Thisis a story of...
named Charlie Bucket.
He was not faster
or stronger
or more clever...
than other children.
His family was not rich...
or powerful or
well-connected.
In fact...
they barely had
enough to eat.
Charlie Bucket was the...
luckiest boy in
the entire world.
He just didn't know it yet.
Evening, Buckets.
Evening.
CHARLIE:
Hi, Dad.Soup's almost ready, darling.
Don't suppose
there's anything...
extra to put in, love.
Oh, well.
Nothing goes better with
cabbage than cabbage.
Charlie...
think you'll like.
NARRATOR:
Charlie'sfather worked...
at the local
toothpaste factory.
The hours were long...
and the pay was terrible...
yet occasionally, there...
were unexpected surprises.
It's exactly what I need!
What is it, Charlie?
Dad found it.
just the piece I needed.
What piece was it?
A head for Willy Wonka.
Well, how wonderful.
It's quite a likeness.
CHARLIE:
You think so?Think so?
I know so.
I saw Willy Wonka...
with my own two eyes.
I used to work for
him, you know.
You did?
I did.
He did.
He did.
I love grapes.
Of course, I was a much...
younger man in those days.
GRANDPA JOE:
WillyWonka began with...
a single store...
on Cherry Street.
But the whole world...
wanted his candy.
Mr. Wonka.
Yeah?
We need more Wonka bars...
and we're out of
chocolate birds.
Birds?
Birds.
Well, then...
we'll need to
make some more.
Here.
Now open.
(TWEETS)
(LAUGHS)
The man was a genius.
Did you know he
invented a new...
way of making chocolate
ice cream...
so that it stays cold for...
hours without a freezer?
You can even leave
it lying in...
the sun on a hot day...
and it won't go runny.
But that's impossible.
(GATES OPENING LOUDLY)
GRANDPA JOE:
Before long...he decided to build...
The largest chocolate...
factory in history.
Fifty times as...
big as any other.
Grandpa, don't
make it gross.
Tell him about the
lndian prince.
He'd like to
hear about that.
You mean, Prince Pondicherry?
Well...
Prince Pondicherry wrote...
a letter to Mr. Wonka...
and asked him to come...
all the way out to India...
and build him a
colossal palace...
entirely out of chocolate.
(LAUGHS)
WONKA:
It will have 100 rooms...and everything will
be made by of...
dark or light chocolate.
GRANDPA JOE:
Trueto 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.
It is perfect...
in every way.
Yeah, but it
won't last long.
You better start
eating right now.
Oh, nonsense.
I will not eat my palace.
I intend to live in it.
But Mr. Wonka...
was right, of course.
Soon after this...
there came a very hot day...
with a boiling sun.
Mmm.
(LAUGHS)
(YELLS)
Oh!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
The prince sent an...
urgent telegram requesting...
a new palace.
problems of his own.
All the other
chocolate makers,
you see, had grown...
jealous of Mr. Wonka.
They began sending...
in spies to steal...
his secret recipes.
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.
(EXCLAIMS)
The thievery got so bad...
that one day, without warning...
Mr. Wonka told every single...
one of his workers...
to go home.
He announced...
that he was closing his...
chocolate factory forever.
WONKA:
I'm closing my...chocolate factory...
forever.
I'm sorry.
(GATES CLOSING)
(DOOR THUDS)
But it didn't
close forever.
It's open right now.
Ah, yes, sometimes
when grownups say...
"forever," they mean...
"a very long time."
Such as, "I feel
like I've eaten...
nothing but cabbage
soup forever."
Now, Pops.
The factory did
close, Charlie.
And it seemed
like it was...
going to be closed forever.
Then one day...
we saw smoke rising...
from the chimneys.
The factory was...
back in business.
Did you get your job back?
No.
No one did.
But there must be
people working there.
Think about it, Charlie.
Have you ever seen
a single person...
going into that factory...
or coming out of it?
No.
The gates are
always closed.
Exactly.
But then, who's
running the machines?
Nobody knows, Charlie.
It certainly is a mystery.
Wonka?
Nobody sees him anymore.
The only thing
that comes out...
of that place...
is the candy...
already packed...
and addressed.
I'd give anything
in the world
just to go in one
more time...
and see what's
become of that...
amazing factory.
Well, you won't...
because you can't.
No one can.
It's a mystery, and...
it will always
be a mystery.
That little factory
of yours...
Charlie, is as close as any
of us is ever going to get.
Come on, Charlie.
I think it's
time we let your...
grandparents get
some sleep.
Good night, Grandpa George.
Night, Charlie.
Night-night.
MRS. BUCKET:
Chair.Thank you, dear.
Night, Grandpa Joe.
Good night,
Grandma Georgina.
Nothing's impossible,
Charlie.
Good night.
ALL:
Night, Charlie.Sleep well.
NARRATOR:
Indeed, that very night...
the impossible had
already been...
set in motion.
WONKA'S VOICE:
Dearpeople of the world...
l, 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.
Five golden tickets
have been hidden...
underneath the ordinary
wrapping paper...
of five ordinary
Wonka bars.
The candy bars may
be anywhere...
in any shop, in any street,
in any town, in any country...
in the world.
(BUZZING)
(CHILDREN YELLING
INDISTINCTLY)
(MEN CLAMORING INDISTINCTLY)
(CLUCKS)
(SHEEP BLEATING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(WOMEN CLAMORING
INDISTINCTLY)
Wouldn't it be
something, Charlie,
to open a bar of candy...
and find a golden
ticket inside?
I know.
but I only get
one bar a year...
for my birthday.
Well, it's your birthday next week.
You have as much chance...
as anybody does.
Balderdash.
The kids who are 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.
Everyone has a
chance, Charlie.
Mark my words...
the kid who finds
the first ticket...
will be fat,
fat, fat.
REPORTER 1:
Augustus. This way.(CAMERA CLICKING
INDISTINCTLY)
I am 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!
