Charlie and the Chocolate Factory quotes

Page 1 of 8
(in the TV room)

Can you send people? [reffering to the camera teleporter]

Wonka

Why would I want to do that? They don't taste very good at all.

Wonka

I don't care.
Because then I wouldn't be a champion, I'd be a loser like you. [Chomps on a candy apple]

[about the chocolate factory]

But it didn't close forever, it's open right now.

Ah yes, well, sometimes when grown-ups say "forever" they mean "a very long time".

Besides, I feel as though I've eaten nothing but cabbage soup forever.

Now pops...

There must be people working there.

Think about it, Charlie. Have you ever seen a single person going into that factory? Or coming out of it?

No. The gates are always closed.

Exactly.

But then, who's running the machines?

Nobody knows, Charlie.

It certainly is a mystery.

Hasn't someone asked Mr. Wonka?

Nobody sees him anymore. He never comes out. The only thing that comes out of that place is the candy. Already packed and addressed. I'd give anything in the world just to go in one more time and see that what's become of that amazing factory.

[as the group moves on from the Chocolate Room]

Are the Oompa Loompas really joking, Grandpa?

Of course, they're joking. That boy will be fine.
[just before they walk off, Grandpa Joe's smile turns to a grim expression]

Mr. Wonka, why would Augustus' name already be in the Oompa-Loompa song unless they...

[interrupts]

Improvisation is a parlor trick, anyone can do it. [turns to Violet] You, little girl, Say something. Anything.

Chewing gum.

Chewing gum is really gross / chewing gum I hate the most. See? Exactly the same.

No, it isn't.

Uh, you really shouldn't mumble because I can't understand a word you're saying.

[to Mr. Wonka]

Can you (even) remember the first candy you ever ate?

[confused]

No. (Not really.)

[narrating]

In fact, Willy Wonka did remember the first candy he ever ate.

Caramels. They get stuck in your braces, wouldn't they? Lollipops. What we call "caivities on a stick"! And all this... all this... chocolate! You know, just last week, I was reading in a very important medical journal that some children are allergic to chocolate... makes their noses itch.

Maybe I'm not allergic. I could try a piece.

Really? But why take a chance? [burns the candy his son brought home]

Things are going to get much better.

Narrator

And for once, Grandma Georgina knew exactly what she was talking about.
