Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory Page #3

Synopsis: The world is astounded when Willy Wonka, for years a recluse in his factory, announces that five lucky people will be given a tour of the factory, shown all the secrets of his amazing candy, and one will win a lifetime supply of Wonka chocolate. Nobody wants the prize more than young Charlie, but as his family is so poor that buying even one bar of chocolate is a treat, buying enough bars to find one of the five golden tickets is unlikely in the extreme. But in movieland, magic can happen. Charlie, along with four somewhat odious other children, get the chance of a lifetime and a tour of the factory. Along the way, mild disasters befall each of the odious children, but can Charlie beat the odds and grab the brass ring?

Can't you shut up?

I'm busy.

What a show!

I serve all his dinners here.

He's never been to the table.

- You love TV?

- You bet!

About that Golden ticket...

I want to catch this!

- Like killings?

- What do you think life's all about?

Mike, would you tell us if...

Wait till I get a real one.

Colt 45.

Pop won't let me have one yet, will you?

Not till you're 12, son.

Four down, one to go.

And somewhere out there another

lucky person is moving closer...

...to finding the last of the most

sought-after prizes in history.

Though we can envy him,

whoever he is...

...and might be tempted

to be bitter at our losing...

...we must remember there are

more important things.

Many more important things!

Offhand, I can't think of what they are

but I'm sure there's something.

Now for weather and...

Why did you wake me up?

Is something wrong?

Grandpa!

That money was for tobacco.

I've told you, I've given it up.

Go on, open it!

One ticket left.

Let's see that gold.

No, you do it. I can't.

We're going to be lucky this time.

I've got a funny feeling inside.

Which end shall I open first?

That end. Just a tiny bit.

- Like this?

- Now a bit more.

- You finish it! I can't.

- No, Grandpa! You do it.

All right.

Here goes.

You know...

...I bet those Golden Tickets

make the chocolate taste terrible.

Lot 403.

I can personally guarantee...

...that this is the absolutely

last case of Wonka Bars...

...left in the United Kingdom.

Shall we start the bidding at

I have 2,500.

Your Majesty!

I'm sorry, Mrs. Curtis.

There isn't anything to give us a clue.

They kidnapped my husband

When will we hear?

What do they want?

Stay calm. They want ransom.

We wait to hear their demands.

I'll give them anything they want.

All I want is Harold back!

Go ahead, we're listening.

Whatever they asked for

they can have it.

They want your case of Wonka Bars.

Did you hear me?

It's your husband's life

or your Wonka Bars.

How long do I have to think it over?

That's it!

The Wonka contest is all over.

The final ticket has been found...

...we've got a live report in from

Paraguay, South America.

It is finished.

The end has come.

The last Golden Ticket has been found...

...right here in Paraguay.

The finder is lucky Alberto Minoleta...

...the millionaire owner

of South America gambling casinos.

Here is the most recent picture

of the happy finder.

Turn it off!

Well, that's that.

No more Golden Tickets.

A lot of rubbish, the whole thing.

Not to Charlie, it wasn't.

A boy needs something to hope for.

What's he got to hope for now?

Who's going to tell him?

Let's not wake him.

He'll find out soon enough.

Yeah, let him sleep.

Let him have one last dream.

I've decided to switch

Friday's schedule to Monday.

Which means Friday's test

on what we learned during the week...

...will now be Monday

before we've learned it.

Since today's Tuesday,

it doesn't matter.

Pencils ready!

Today, we are going to learn about...

...percentages.

For example, let's take

the recent unpleasantness.

Suppose there are

...and you each opened

a certain number of them.

That number is...

...a percent. Understand?

Madeline Durkin, how many

Wonka Bars did you open?

About 100.

There are ten 100's in 1,000,

therefore, you opened 10 percent.

Peter Goff, how many did you open?

- How many did you open?

- Two.

That's easy. 200 is twice...

Not 200.

Just 2.

What do you mean, you only opened 2?

I don't care much for chocolate.

I can't figure out just 2!

Let's pretend you opened 200.

If you opened 200 Wonka Bars,

apart from being dreadfully sick...

...you'd use 20% of 1,000...

...which is 15 percent half again,

I'd like a bar of chocolate, please.

Why, sure.

What kind?

A Slugworth Sizzler?

A Wonka Scrumdiddleumptious?

- Whichever's biggest.

- Try a Wonka Scrumdiddleumptious.

Now that the tickets are found,

I don't have to hide them.

Take it easy!

You'll get a stomach ache.

- 'Bye.

- 'Bye, now.

I think I'll buy just one more,

for my Grandpa Joe.

Sure.

Try a regular Wonka Bar.

Fine.

- Take it easy! One at a time!

- Did you hear the news?

That gambler from Paraguay

made a phony ticket.

There's one Golden Ticket

still floating around.

The nerve of that guy!

Trying to fool the world!

He was a crook! This means

the contest goes on forever.

You got the last Golden Ticket!

The kid's found the last Golden Ticket!

Stand back!

Leave the boy alone!

Break it up!

Charlie! Hold onto that ticket!

Run for it! Run straight home!

Don't stop till you get there!

I congratulate you.

Well done.

You've found the fifth Golden Ticket.

May I introduce myself?

Arthur Slugworth.

President of Slugworth Chocolates.

Listen carefully, because

I'm going to make you very rich.

Mr. Wonka is working on

a fantastic invention.

The Everlasting Gobstopper.

If he succeeds, he'll ruin me.

I want you to get just one

Everlasting Gobstopper...

...and bring it to me

so I can find the secret formula.

Your reward will be...

...10,000 of these.

Think it over, will you?

A new house for your family...

...food and comfort

for the rest of their lives.

And don't forget the name...

...Everlasting Gobstopper.

I've got it!

The fifth Golden Ticket is mine!

You're pulling our legs, Charlie.

There aren't any more Golden Tickets.

The last one's fake!

It's in the paper!

I found money, bought a Wonka Bar

and the ticket was in it!

Look at it! See for yourself!

Read it, Joe, for heaven's sake!

"Greetings to you, the lucky finder

of this Golden Ticket...

"... from Mr. Willy Wonka. Present

this ticket at the factory gates...

"... at 10 o'clock in the morning,

October 1st, and do not be late!"

"You may bring with you one member

of your own family, but no one else.

"In your wildest dreams

you could not imagine...

"... the marvelous surprises

that await you!"

You've done it!

It says I can take somebody with me.

I wish you could go.

Charlie!

That's good, Charlie.

Now help me up.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, Charlie.

Watch it, Joe!

Look at me!

Look at me!

Up and about!

I haven't done this in 20 years!

I never thought my life could be

Anything but catastrophe

But suddenly I begin to see

A bit of good luck for me

'Cause I've got a Golden Ticket

I've got a golden twinkle...

...in my eye

I never had a chance to shine

Never a happy song to sing

But suddenly half the world is mine

What an amazing thing

'Cause I've got a Golden Ticket

It's ours, Charlie!

I've got a golden sun up in the sky

Slippers, Charlie!

I never thought I'd see the day

When I would face the world and say

Good morning

Look at the sun

I never thought that I would be

Slap in the lap of luxury

'Cause I'd have said

It couldn't be done

But it can be done

The cane, Charlie!

Here I go!

Watch my speed!

I never dreamed that I would climb

Over the moon in ecstasy

But nevertheless it's there that I'm

Shortly about to be

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (English: , Norwegian: [ˈruːɑl ˈdɑːl]; 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.Born in Wales to Norwegian immigrant parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and he became one of the world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the British Book Awards' Children's Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kindhearted, and feature an underlying warm sentiment. Dahl's works for children include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits and George's Marvellous Medicine. His adult works include Tales of the Unexpected. more…
