Veruca Salt quotes from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Veruca Salt

I want a squirrel!

Veruca Salt

Here are your instructions.

Veruca Salt

Make time go faster!

Veruca Salt

Daddy, I want a flying glass elevator.

Veruca Salt

You could put her in a county fair!

Mrs. Beauregarde

Violet, you're turning violet!

Augustus Gloop

I'm 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! [while being interviewed]

Willy Wonka

Ha ha ha, wasn't that just magnificent? I thought it was getting a little dodgy in the middle part, but that finale...Wow!

Who are you?

Grandpa Joe

He's Willy Wonka!

Charlie Bucket

Really!

Willy Wonka

Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello! [takes out flash cards] Greetings. Welcome to my factory. I shake you warmly by the hand. My name is Willy Wonka.

Veruca Salt

Then shouldn't you be up there? [points to stage]

Willy Wonka

Well, I couldn't very well watch the show from up there, now, could I, little girl?

Grandpa Joe

Mr. Wonka, I don't know if you remember me, but I used to work here in the factory.

Willy Wonka

Were you one of those despicable spies who everyday tried to steal my life's work and sell it to those parasitic copy-cat candy-making cads?

Grandpa Joe

No, sir.

Willy Wonka

Wonderful, welcome back. Lets get a move on, shall we?

Augustus Gloop

Don't you want to know our names?

Willy Wonka

Couldn't see how it wouldn't matter.

Violet Beauregarde

Mr. Wonka. I'm Violet Beauregarde.

Willy Wonka

Oh... I don't care.

Violet Beauregarde

Well, you should care. Because I'm the girl that's going to win the special prize at the end.

Willy Wonka

Well, you do seem confident and confidence is key.

Veruca Salt

I'm Veruca Salt. It's very nice to meet you, sir. [does a curtsy]

Willy Wonka

I always thought a verruca was a type of wart you got on the bottom of your foot. Haha.

Augustus Gloop

I'm Augustus Gloop. I love your chocolate.

Willy Wonka

I can see that. So do I. I never expected to have so much in common. [to Mike] You, you're Mike Teavee. You're the little devil who cracked the system. [to Charlie] And you, well you're just lucky to be here, aren't you? [to their parents] And you must be their...p- p...

Parents?

Willy Wonka

Yeah! Moms and dads.

Veruca Salt

Let's be friends.

Violet Beauregarde

Best friends.
[both turn away, obviously hating each other]

Willy Wonka

Here, try some of this. It'll do you good. You look starved to death.

Charlie Bucket

It's great.

Willy Wonka

That's because it's mixed by waterfall. The waterfall is most important. It mixes the chocolate. Makes it light and frothy. By the way, no other factory in the world mixes-

Veruca Salt

You already said that.

Willy Wonka

You're all quite short, aren't you?

Violet Beauregarde

Well, yeah. We're children.

Willy Wonka

Well, that's no excuse. I was never as short as you.

Mike Teavee

You were once.

Willy Wonka

Was not! Know why? Because I distinctly remember putting a hat on top of my head. Look at your short little arms. You could never reach.

Willy Wonka

I've tried it on like twenty Oompa-Loompas and each one ended up as a blueberry. It's just weird!

Mrs. Beauregarde

But, I can't have a blueberry for a daughter. How is she supposed to compete?

Veruca Salt

You could put her in a county fair.
[Mrs. Beauregarde looks at Veruca viciously]

Mike Teavee

What's the special prize and who gets it?

Willy Wonka

The best kind of prize is a sur-prize! Haha.

Veruca Salt

Will Violet always be a blueberry?

Willy Wonka

No... maybe... I dont know. But that's what you get for chewing gum all day, it's just disgusting.

Mike Teavee

If you hate gum so much, why do you make it?

Willy Wonka

Once again, you really shouldn't mumble because it's kinda starting to bum me out.

Veruca Salt

Daddy, I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels, I want one!

Veruca dear, you have many marvelous pets.

Veruca Salt

All I've got at home is one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle, and a silly old hamster! I WANT a SQUIRREL!

All right, pet. Daddy will get you a squirrel just as soon as he possibly can.

Veruca Salt

But I don't want any old squirrel! I want a trained squirrel!

Very well. Mr. Wonka, how much do you want for one of those squirrels. Name your price.

Willy Wonka

Oh they're not for sale. She can't have one.

Veruca Salt

Daddy!

Willy Wonka

I'm sorry, darling. Mr. Wonka's being unreasonable.

Veruca Salt

If you won't get me a squirrel, I'll get one myself!

Veruca Salt

Daddy! I want a flying glass elevator!

Veruca, the only thing you're going to get today is a bath, and that's final!

Veruca Salt

But I WANT it!
[Her father looks angrily back at Veruca]

Augustus

Do you want some chocolate?

Charlie

Sure.

Augustus

Then you should have want some.

Veruca

Let's be friends.

Violet

Best friends.

Veruca

Daddy, look over there! [a little figure in a red suit is revealed next to the waterfall] What is it? It's a little person. Over there, by the waterfall.

Mrs. Beauregarde

There's two of them.

Mr. Teavee

There's more than two.

Where do they come from?

Charlie

Who are they?

Mike

Are they real people?

Willy

Of course they're real people. They're Oompa-Loompas.

Oompa-Loompas?

Willy

Imported, direct from Loompaland.
