There it isn't.
Daddy, I want them to stop.
(GROANS)
What are they doing?
They're testing to see
if she's a bad nut.
(CHITTERS)
Oh, my goodness.
She is a bad nut after all.
(GASPING)
MR. SALT:
Veruca!VERUCA:
Daddy!Where are they taking her?
Where all the other
bad nuts go.
To the garbage chute.
(VERUCA SCREAMING)
Where does the chute go?
To the incinerator.
But don't worry.
We only light it on Tuesdays.
Today is Tuesday.
There's always
the chance...
they decided not
to light it today.
(VERUCA SCREAMING)
(NAILS CRACKING)
(SCREAMING)
(SCREAMING)
(EXCLAIMS)
(SCREAMING CONTINUES)
Now, she may be stuck in...
the chute just
below the top.
If that's the case,
all you have to
do is just reach...
in and pull her out.
WONKA:
Okay?(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(OOMPA-LOOMPAS SINGING)
ALL:
♪ Veruca Salt, the little brute. ♪
♪ Has just gone down the garbage chute. ♪
♪ And she will meet, as she descends. ♪
♪ A rather different set of friends. ♪
OOMPA-LOOMPA:
♪ A fish head, for example, cut. ♪
ALL:
♪ This morning from a halibut. ♪
♪ An oyster from an oyster stew. ♪
♪ A steak that no one else would chew. ♪
♪ And lots of other things as well. ♪
♪ Each with its rather horrid smell. ♪
♪ Horrid smell. ♪
♪ These are Veruca's newfound friends. ♪
♪ That she will meet as she descends. ♪
♪ These are Veruca's newfound friends. ♪
♪ Who went and spoiled her, who indeed? ♪
♪ Who pandered to her every need? ♪
OOMPA-LOOMPA 2:
♪ Who turned her into such a brat? ♪
OOMPA-LOOMPA 3:
♪ Who are the culprits? ♪
OOMPA-LOOMPA 4:
♪ Who did that? ♪
ALL:
♪ The guilty ones, now this is sad. ♪
♪ Are dear old Mum and loving Dad. ♪
(EXCLAIMS)
(MR. SALT YELLING)
(YELLING CONTINUES)
Oh, really?
Oh, good.
I've just been informed...
that the incinerator's
broken.
about three weeks...
break their fall.
Well, that's good news.
Yeah.
Well...
let's keep on trucking.
(DINGS)
WONKA:
I don't know whyI didn't think of this earlier.
The elevator's
by far the most...
efficient way to get
around the factory.
There can't be
this many floors.
How do you know, Mr. Smarty-Pants?
This isn't an ordinary...
up-and-down elevator,
by the way.
This elevator can go...
sideways, longways,
slantways...
and any other ways
you can think of.
You just press
any button...
and, whoosh! You're off.
(LAUGHS, GRUNTS)
Oh, look. Look.
Ladies and gentlemen...
welcome to Fudge Mountain.
(THRILLING MUSIC PLAYING)
Oh!
I'd rather not talk about this one.
(SHEEP BLEATING)
And this is the
Puppet Hospital...
and Burn Center.
It's relatively new.
(CHUCKLES)
WONKA:
Ah, theadministration offices.
Hello, Doris.
(ALL GASPING)
(FIREWORKS CRACKLING)
(GUN FIRING)
(BANGING LOUDLY)
(FIRING CONTINUES)
(MISSILE FIRING)
(CRUMPLING EXPLOSIONS)
Why is everything here...
completely pointless?
Candy doesn't have
to have a point.
That's why it's candy.
MIKE:
It's stupid!(IN MR. WONKA'S VOICE)
Candy is a waste of time.
No son of mine is...
going to be a chocolatier.
Then I'll run away.
To Switzerland.
Bavaria.
The candy capitals of the world.
Go ahead.
But I won't be here
when you come back.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Sorry, son.
We're closing for the night.
(THUNDER CRACKLING)
(CRUMPLING EXPLOSIONS)
I wanna pick a room.
Go ahead.
(DINGS)
Here.
Put these on quick,
and don't take them
off whatever you do.
eyeballs right out
of your skulls.
And we certainly
don't want that,
now, do we?
This is the testing room.
For my very latest and
greatest invention:
Television Chocolate.
One day it occurred to me:
Hey!
If television can break
up a photograph...
into millions and
millions of tiny pieces
and send it whizzing
through the air...
then reassemble it
on the other end...
why can't I do the same
with chocolate?
WONKA:
Why can't I...send a real bar
of chocolate...
through the television,
all ready to be eaten?
I'm not going in
that direction.
MR. TEAVEE:
Sounds impossible.MIKE:
It is impossible.You don't understand...
anything about science.
First off, there's
a difference
between waves
and particles.
Duh!
Second, the amount
of power it...
would take to convert
energy in matter...
would be like nine atomic bombs.
Mumbler!
WONKA:
Seriously.I cannot understand a...
single word you're saying.
Okey-dokey.
I shall now send a
bar of chocolate
from one end of the room...
to the other...
by television.
Bring in the chocolate!
(FANFARE MUSIC PLAYING)
It's gotta be real big...
because you know
how on TV...
you can film a
regular-size man,
and he comes out
looking this tall?
Same basic principle.
(THUDS)
It's gone.
Told you.
That chocolate
is now rushing...
through the air
above our heads...
in a million
tiny little pieces.
Come over here.
Come on. Come on.
Come on!
Watch the screen.
Here it comes.
Oh, look.
(MONKEYS SCREECHING)
Take it.
It's just a picture
on a screen.
Scaredy-cat.
You take it.
Go on.
Just reach out and grab it.
(SOFTLY) Go on.
Holy buckets.
Eat it. Go on.
It'll be delicious.
It's the same bar.
It's just gotten a little
smaller on the journey.
That's all.
(TEETH CHATTERING)
It's great.
It's a miracle.
So imagine...
you're sitting at home
watching television...
and suddenly a
commercial will flash...
onto the screen, and
a voice will say:
"Wonka's chocolates...
are the best in the world."
"If you don't believe us,
try one for yourself."
and take it.
How about that?
So can you send
other things?
Say, like, breakfast cereal?
Do you have any idea what
breakfast cereal's made of?
wooden shavings...
you find in pencil
sharpeners.
But could you send
it by Televison...
if you wanted to?
Of course I could.
What about people?
Well, why would I
wanna send a person?
They don't taste
very good at all.
Don't you realize
what you've invented?
It's a teleporter!
MIKE:
It's the most importantinvention...
in the history of the world.
And all you think
about is chocolate.
Calm down, Mike.
what he's talking about.
No, he doesn't.
He has no idea.
You think he's a genius...
but he's an idiot.
But I'm not.
(OOMPA LOOPA GROANS)
Hey, little boy.
Don't push my button.
(CLICKS)
(THUDDING)
He's gone.
Let's go check the
television, see what we get.
I sure hope no
part of him...
gets left behind.
What do you mean?
Well, sometimes
only half of the...
little pieces find
their way through.
If you had to choose only
one half of your son,
which one would it be?
What kind of a question is that?
No need to snap.
Just a question.
Try every channel.
I'm starting to feel
a little anxious.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
There he is.
Mike.
