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?

- 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.

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…
