Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory Page #2

the fame of Western Germany.

An example for the whole world.

How does it feel to be

the first Golden Ticket finder?

- Hungry.

- Any other feelings?

Sorry for Wonka.

It'll cost him a fortune in fudge.

Mr. Gloop, would you mind...

Mrs. Gloop, would you say

a few words to the audience?

I knew he would find a Golden Ticket.

Eating is his hobby.

He wouldn't do it unless

he needed the nourishment.

Happy birthday, Charlie!

Here you are, Charlie.

Thank you.

It's terrific!

We each knitted, Grandmas

Georgina, Josephine and me.

I did the end pieces with the tassels.

And here's a little gift

from Grandpa George and me.

I think I know what this is.

- It is! A Wonka!

- Open it, Charlie.

Let's see that Golden Ticket.

- Wouldn't it be fantastic?

- Don't raise his hopes.

Never mind. Open it.

I want to see that gold!

Stop it!

- I've got the same chance as anybody!

- You've got more.

You want it more.

Go on, open it!

Here goes!

- I got it!

- Where?

Let's see!

Fooled you, didn't I?

You thought I really had it.

Never mind, Charlie.

You'll find one.

- Here, everybody have a bite.

- No, no!

I wanted to find the first

Golden ticket, Daddy!

I know, angel.

We're doing the best we can.

I've got every girl on staff

hunting for you.

Where is it?

Why can't they find it?

Veruca, sweetheart,

I'm not a magician!

Give me time!

I want it now!

What's the matter with those twerps?

For five days now,

the entire factory's been on the job!

They haven't shelled a peanut

since Monday!

They've been shelling

chocolate bars from dawn to dusk!

Work nights!

Come along, you girls!

Put a jerk in it,

or you'll be out on your ears!

And listen:
The first girl...

...that finds a Golden Ticket

gets a bonus in their pay packet!

What do you think of that?!

They're not even trying!

They don't want to find it!

Sweetheart,

I can't push them no harder.

You promised!

You promised I'd have it the first day!

You're going to be very unpopular

if you don't deliver soon.

It breaks my heart.

I hate to see her unhappy.

I won't talk to you!

You're a rotten father!

You never give me anything!

I won't go to school!

Veruca! Sweetheart! Angel!

There are only 4 tickets

left in the world...

...and the whole world's

hunting for them!

What can I do?

I got it, Mr. Salt! Here it is!

About time, too! I want it!

Give me my ticket! It's mine!

I found the Golden Ticket!

Thank God!

Happiness is what counts with children.

Happiness and harmony.

This is the sign of our times.

The symbol of the havoc...

...the mad craze

that's sweeping the world.

Whatever corner of the globe we are in,

whichever continent we're on...

...the great Wonka Bar search continues.

We're near the end...

...of our 43rd day

in the Golden Ticket hunt.

Everywhere, are signs of anxiety.

Every hour...

...new shipments

are sent around the globe.

But they're not moving fast enough.

And as time passes the men who seek them

become more and more desperate.

Gentlemen, I know how anxious

you've been during these last few days.

But now I think I can safely say...

...that your time and money

have been well spent.

We're about to witness

the greatest miracle of the machine age.

Based on the revolutionary

law of probability, this machine...

...will tell us the precise location

of the three remaining...

...Golden Tickets.

It says...

..."I won't tell.

That would be cheating. "

I am now telling the computer...

...if it will tell me the correct answer

I will gladly share with it...

...the grand prize.

He says...

..."What would a computer do

with a lifetime supply of chocolate?"

I am now telling the computer exactly

what he can do with the chocolate.

It can happen here, too,

unbelievable as it sounds...

...right here in America.

Where even in the smallest town,

the happiest dreams can come true.

Here she is...

...Violet Beauregarde,

finder of Golden Ticket number 3.

From Miles City, Montana.

And the proud parents.

Mr. Beauregarde,

a local politician, civic leader...

Sam Beauregarde,

Square Deal Sam to you...

...with great giveaway bargains.

The finest values in the entire country!

- Here's a sedan...

- Dad, they don't want you!

- Care to say a few words?

- Sure!

Here is Golden Ticket number 3,

and it's all mine!

I'm a gum chewer,

but when I heard about the tickets...

...I laid off gum and switched to candy.

Now, of course, I'm back on gum.

I chew it all day, except at mealtimes

when I stick it behind my ear.

- Violet!

- Cool it, Mother!

This piece of gum I've been chewing

for three months. A world record!

It beat the record

held by my friend, Cornelia...

...and was she mad!

Hi Cornelia, sweetie!

Let me just say,

if any of you folks watching...

- What are you doing here?

- I'll walk you home.

I'm not ready.

I'm going to be here late.

Then I guess I'll be going.

Why not stay a minute.

Pull up a pile of clothes and sit down.

School all right?

Yep.

Good.

Go on your newspaper route?

Just finished.

Good.

I wanted to tell you something.

They found the third ticket.

Did they?

I guess I'll be going now.

That's all?

I thought you'd like to know.

Most people are pretty interested.

I know I'm interested.

There are only two tickets left,

you know. Just two.

Pretty soon, just one.

I wonder who'll be the lucky ones.

If you're wondering,

it won't be me.

If you're wondering,

you can count me out.

There are 100 billion people...

...and only 5 will find Golden Tickets.

Even with a sack of money,

you probably wouldn't find one.

When this is over you'll be no different

from billions of others who didn't.

But I am different.

I want it more than any of them.

You'll get your chance.

One day things will change.

When? When will they change?

Probably when you least expect it.

See you later.

You get blue like everyone

But me and Grandpa Joe

Can make your troubles go away

Blow away

There they go

Cheer up, Charlie

Give me a smile

What happened

to that smile I used to know

Don't you know your grin

Has always been my sunshine

Let that sunshine show

Come on, Charlie

No need to frown

Deep down you know

The world is still your toy

When the world gets heavy

Never pit-a-pat 'em

Up and at 'em, boy

Some day...

...sweet as a song

Charlie's lucky day will come along

Till that day

you've got to stay strong, Charlie

Up on top is right where you belong

Look up, Charlie

You'll see a star

Just follow it

And keep your dream in view

Pretty soon the sky

is going to clear up, Charlie

Cheer up, Charlie, do

Cheer up, Charlie

Just be glad you're you

While the world searches...

...here it has actually happened.

There's only one Golden Ticket

left in the entire world.

Because right here,

in Marble Falls, Arizona...

...is lucky winner number four!

The name to be heard around

the universe is Mr. Mike Teevee!

Can we shut that off?

- Are you crazy?

- He won't answer till station break.

The country wants to hear from you!
