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?

But be careful.

What's he saying?

No, I won't hold you responsible.

And now, my dearest lady,

it's time to say good-bye.

No, no! Don't speak!

For some moments in life,

there are no words. Run along now.

Adieu.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow. "

Oompa Loompa Doompa Dee Do

I've got another puzzle for you

Oompa Loompa Doompa Da Dee

If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get from a glut of TV?

A pain in the neck and an IQ of 3

Why don't you try simply reading a book?

Or could you just not bear to look?

You'll get no

You'll get no commercials

Oompa Loompa Doompa Dee Da

If you like reading you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the...

...Oompa...

...Oompa Loompa Doompa Dee Do!

So much to do, so much to do.

Invoices, bills, letters.

I must answer that note from the queen.

What will happen to the others?

My dear boy...

...they'll be quite all right.

When they leave here they'll be restored

to their normal, terrible old selves.

But maybe a little wiser for the wear.

Don't worry.

What do we do now, Mr. Wonka?

I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

Excuse me for not showing you out.

Up the stairs. I'm busy.

A whole day wasted.

Good-bye to you both.

What happened?

Did we do something wrong?

I don't know, Charlie.

But I'm going to find out.

I am extraordinarily busy, sir.

I wanted to ask about the chocolate.

The lifetime supply of chocolate?

For Charlie.

When does he get it?

- He doesn't.

- Why not?

Because he broke the rules.

What rules?

We didn't see any rules, did we?

Wrong, sir! Wrong!

Under Section 37-B of the

contract signed by him...

...it states clearly that all offers

shall become null and void if...

...and you can read it

for yourself in this copy:

"I, the undersigned...

"... shall forfeit all rights,

privileges and licenses...

"... herein contained," et cetera...

"... fax mentis...

"... incendium gloria culpam,"

et cetera, et cetera.

"Memo bis punitor della cattum!"

It's all there! Black and white!

Clear as crystal!

You stole Fizzy-Lifting drinks!

You bumped into the ceiling

which now has to be sterilized!

So you get nothing!

You lose!

Good day, sir!

You're a crook!

A cheat and a swindler,

that's what you are!

How can you do this?!

Build up a little boy's hopes and

then smash his dreams to pieces!

You're an inhuman monster!

I said, "Good day"!

Come on, Charlie.

Let's get out of here.

I'll get even,

if it's the last thing I do.

If Slugworth wants a Gobstopper,

he'll get one.

"So shines a good deed...

"... in a weary world. "

My boy.

You've won!

You did it! You did it!

I knew you would!

I just knew you would!

Forgive me for putting you through this.

Come in, Mr. Wilkinson.

Charlie, meet Mr. Wilkinson.

- Pleasure.

- Slugworth!

That's not Slugworth!

He works for me!

- For you?

- I had to test you, Charlie.

And you passed the test.

You won!

- Won what?

- The jackpot, my dear sir!

- The grand and glorious jackpot!

- The chocolate?

The chocolate, yes.

But, that's just the beginning!

We have so much time

and so little to do!

Strike that. Reverse it.

This way, please!

We'll take the Wonkavator.

Step in, Charlie.

Grandpa Joe, sir.

- This is the great glass Wonkavator.

- It's an elevator.

A Wonkavator.

An elevator goes up and down.

But the Wonkavator goes

sideways, slantways, backways...

And frontways?

...and any ways you can think of.

It can take you to any room by pressing

one of these buttons. Any button.

Press a button and zing!

You're off.

And up until now,

I've pressed them all.

Except one.

This one.

Go ahead, Charlie.

Me?

There it goes!

Hold on tight!

I'm not exactly sure

what's going to happen.

Faster! If we don't pick up speed,

we won't get through.

Through what?

- You mean, we're going..?

- Up and out.

This roof is glass.

It'll shatter in 1,000 pieces!

- We'll be cut to ribbons!

- Probably.

Hold on, everybody!

Here it comes!

- You did it! Congratulations!

- Get up, take a look.

Our town looks so pretty.

Look over here, Charlie.

I think I see our house.

It really looks beautiful.

There's my school!

How did you like the chocolate factory?

It's the most wonderful place

in the world.

I'm pleased to hear you say that...

...because I'm giving it to you.

- What?

- That's all right, isn't it?

- You're giving Charlie the...

- I can't go on forever.

And I don't really want to try.

Who can I trust to run the factory, and

take care of the Oompa Loompas for me?

Not a grown-up.

A grown-up would do

everything his way, not mine.

That's why I decided long ago

that I had to find a child.

A very honest...

...loving child...

...to whom I can tell all my

precious candy-making secrets.

- That's why you sent the Golden Tickets.

- That's right.

The factory's yours.

You can move in immediately.

- And me?

- Absolutely.

- What happens to the rest...

- The whole family.

I want you to bring them all.

But Charlie...

...don't forget what happened to the man

who got everything he wanted.

What happened?

He lived happily ever after.

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…
