Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory Page #4

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?

'Cause I've got a Golden Ticket

I've got a golden chance to make my way

And with a Golden Ticket

It's a golden day

Good morning! Look at the sun!

'Cause I'd have said

It couldn't be done

But it can be done

I never dreamed that I would climb

Over the moon in ecstasy

But, nevertheless, it's there that I'm

Shortly about to be

'Cause I've got a Golden Ticket

I've got a Golden Ticket

I've got a golden chance to make my way

And with a Golden Ticket

It's a golden day

Stop! It says the first of October.

That's tomorrow.

We've got a lot to do! Comb your hair,

wash your face, polish your shoes...

- I'll take care of everything.

- We don't have much time.

Grandpa... on the way home today,

I ran into Mr. Slugworth.

Hey, Mom, we're on TV!

Hi, everybody in Marble Falls!

Hi, Billy! Hi, Maggie! Hi, Fishface!

How do I look?

- You guys ready?

- You're on.

This is the big day.

The day Willy Wonka will open his gates

and shower gifts on the 5 lucky winners.

From over the globe, people have

gathered, waiting for the hour...

...to see that legendary magician,

Mr. Willy Wonka.

Hi, friends! Don't forget

to visit Beauregarde's Auto Mart...

Cut it out, Dad!

This is my show!

Hi, Cornelia! I've still got it.

How's this for a stretch?

I want to go in first, before anybody.

Anything you say.

Save some room for later,

Augustus liebling.

I don't believe it! We did it.

We're actually going in.

To see the greatest of them all,

Mr. Willy Wonka!

Thank you.

Welcome, my friends.

Welcome to my chocolate factory.

Would you come forward?

Get back!

Come on, Veruca!

That's Slugworth,

the man I told you about.

Welcome.

It's nice to have you here.

I'm so glad you could come.

This is going to be such an

exciting day. I hope you enjoy it.

I think you will.

Please show me your Golden tickets.

I'm Veruca Salt.

Dear Veruca, what a pleasure!

You look pretty in that mink coat!

I've got three others.

Overjoyed to see you, sir.

Would you just step over there?

Augustus Gloop.

Augustus, my dear boy!

Good to see you, and in such fine shape!

This must be the radiant Mrs. Gloop.

Over there, dear lady.

- Violet Beauregarde.

- Darling child! Welcome to Wonka's.

What kind of gum you got?

Charming!

Sam Beauregarde here!

What a genuine pleasure.

Any automotive needs, call.

Phone number's on the card.

"With Sam B., it's a guarantee!"

I'm Mike Teevee.

Wham, you're dead!

Wonderful to meet you!

Mrs. Teevee, how do you do?

- What an adorable boy you have.

- Thank you.

Charlie Bucket.

I read all about you in the papers.

I'm so happy for you. And who's this?

My grandfather, Grandpa Joe.

Delighted.

Overjoyed. Enraptured. Entranced.

Are we ready?

Yes! Good!

In with you!

Hats, coats, galoshes over here.

Hurry, we have so much time

and so little to see.

Wait a minute! Strike that.

Reverse it. Thank you.

- When do I get my chocolate?

- First take off your coat, Violet.

Boy, what weird coat hangers!

Surprises around every corner, but

nothing dangerous! Don't be alarmed.

As soon as your outer vestments

are in hand...

...we'll begin.

Now...

...will the children

kindly step up here.

Accidents? What kind of accidents?

I didn't know we had to sign anything.

I can't read the bottom.

Violet, you first.

Sign here.

Hold it!

Let me through.

Don't sign anything.

What's this about?

Standard form of contract.

Don't talk contracts, I use them myself.

They're for suckers.

You wouldn't begrudge me

a little protection? A drop?

I don't sign anything without my lawyer.

- Veruca don't sign anything either!

- Then she don't go in.

I'm sorry. House rules.

- I want to go in. Don't try to stop me!

- I'm only trying to help.

Give me that pen!

You're always making things difficult.

Nicely handled! She's a girl

who knows where she's going.

What's all that small print?

Any problems? Dial Information.

Thanks for calling.

I assume there's

an accident indemnity clause?

Never between friends.

Saw this in a movie. A guy signed

his wife's insurance policy.

- Then he bumped her off.

- Clever.

What about me, Grandpa?

Sign away, Charlie!

We've got nothing to lose.

Let's go in! Come on!

Patience.

Everything has to be in order.

Everyone signed? Yes?

Good. On we go!

Ninety-nine...

...forty-four...

...one hundred percent pure.

Just through the other door, please.

There's some mistake here.

There is no other door.

There's no way out!

I know there's a door here someplace.

I don't like this, Wonka!

Is this a trick?

Mr. Wonka, help!

I'm getting squashed!

Save me!

Is it my soul that calls my name?

Let me out or I'll scream!

- Somebody's touching me!

- Now look here, Wonka!

Question time will come at the end

of the session. We must press on.

- Here we are.

- Don't be a fool.

That's the way we came in.

It is? Are you sure?

We've just come through there.

How do you like that?

- There we are.

- What is this, Wonka?

A funhouse?

Why? Having fun?

I'm not going in there.

We're getting out of here.

You can't get out backwards.

You have to go forward to go back.

Better press on.

- The room is getting smaller.

- No, it's not!

- He's getting bigger.

- He's at it again.

- Where's the chocolate?

- I doubt if there is any.

I doubt if any of us will get out alive.

Never doubt what nobody is sure about.

You can't squeeze me through that door.

You're off your nut.

No one can get through there.

My dear friends...

...you are now about to enter

the nerve center...

...to the entire Wonka factory.

Inside this room,

all of my dreams become realities.

And some of my realities become dreams.

And almost everything you'll see

is eatable... edible.

I mean, you can eat almost everything.

Let me in, I'm starving!

Don't get overexcited.

Don't lose your head.

We wouldn't want to lose that.

Yet.

Now, the combination.

This is a musical lock.

Rachmaninoff.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...boys and girls...

...the Chocolate Room.

Hold your breath. Make a wish.

Count to three.

Come with me

And you'll be

In a world of pure imagination

Take a look

And you'll see into your imagination

We'll begin

With a spin

Traveling in the world of my creation

What we'll see will defy

Explanation

If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world

There's nothing to it

Hurry, Violet!

This way, Grandpa!

There is no life I know

To compare with pure imagination

Living there

You'll be free

If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Want to change the world

There's nothing...

...to it

There is no life I know

To compare with pure imagination

Living there

You'll be free

If you truly...

...wish to be

What a disgusting, dirty river!

It's industrial waste.

A ruined watershed, Wonka.

It's polluted.

It's chocolate.

That's chocolate?

That's chocolate.

A chocolate river.

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…
