Sleep well.

NARRATOR:

Indeed, that very night...

the impossible had

already been...

set in motion.

WONKA'S VOICE:
Dear

people of the world...

l, Willy Wonka...

have decided to allow...

five children to visit...

my factory this year.

In addition...

one of these

children shall...

receive a special prize...

beyond anything...

you could ever imagine.

Five golden tickets

have been hidden...

underneath the ordinary

wrapping paper...

of five ordinary

Wonka bars.

The candy bars may

be anywhere...

in any shop, in any street,

in any town, in any country...

in the world.

Wouldn't it be

something, Charlie,

to open a bar of candy...

and find a golden

ticket inside?

I know.

but I only get

one bar a year...

for my birthday.

Well, it's your birthday next week.

You have as much chance...

as anybody does.

Balderdash.

The kids who are going to

find the golden tickets...

are the ones who

can afford...

to buy candy

bars every day.

Our Charlie gets

only one a year.

He doesn't have a chance.

Everyone has a

chance, Charlie.

Mark my words...

the kid who finds

the first ticket...

will be fat,

fat, fat.

REPORTER 1:
Augustus. This way.

(CAMERA CLICKING

INDISTINCTLY)

I am eating the

Wonka bar...

and I taste something...

that is not chocolate...

or coconut...

or walnut...

or peanut butter...

or nougat...

or butter brittle...

or caramel...

or sprinkles.

So I look and...

I find the golden ticket!

Augustus...

how did you celebrate?

I eat more candy.

We knew Augustus would...

find the golden ticket.

He eats so many...

candy bars a day...

that it was not

possible for him...

not to find one!

REPORTER 2:

Yes, it is good, Augustus.

REPORTER:
(ON TV) Golden ticket

claimed and four more...

Told you it'd be a porker.

What a repulsive boy.

Only four golden

tickets left.

Now that they've found one,

things will

really get crazy.

Of every shape, size and hue.

REPORTER:
Veruca.

Can you spell that

for us, please?

V-E-R-U-C-A.

Veruca Salt.

As soon as little Veruca

told me she had...

to have one of these

golden tickets...

I started buying

all the Wonka bars

I could lay my hands on.

Thousands of them.

Hundreds of thousands.

I'm in the nut

business, you see.

So I say to my workers:

Morning, ladies.

From now on, you can

stop shelling peanuts...

and start shelling

the wrappers

off these chocolate

bars instead.

MR. SALT:
Three days went by,

and we had no luck.

Oh, it was terrible.

My Veruca got more and...
