Scenes with Mr. Salt

13 scenes

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]

Augustus, my child, that is not a good thing you do! (Augustus is leaning into the chocolate river and is using his hands to drink from it.)

[hugs Wonka]

Mr. Wonka. I'm Violet Beauregarde.

[freaks out]

Oh... I don't care.

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

Well, you do seem confident and confidence is key.

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

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

[eating a candy bar]

I'm Augustus Gloop. I love your chocolate.

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...

Mr. Salt

Parents?

Yeah! Moms and dads.

Is it just me, or does Mr. Wonka seem a few quarters short of a buck?

Mr. Salt

I'm sorry, I don't speak American.

[After the Augustus Gloop song]

Bravo! Well done! Well done! Aren't they delightful? Aren't they charming?

Mr. Salt

I do say, that all seemed rather rehearsed.

Like they knew it was going to happen.

Oh, poppycock.

Mr. Salt
[sees the Nut Sorting Room]

Ah, here's a room I know all about. You see, I myself am in the nut business. [gives Wonka his business card. Wonka flings it away without looking at it] Do you use the Hammermax 4000 to do your sorting?

No. Haha. You're really weird.

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

Mr. Salt

Veruca dear, you have many marvelous pets.

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!

Mr. Salt

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

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

Mr. Salt
[wearily]

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

[Veruca smiles]

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

[her smile drops to an angry expression]

Daddy!

[imitating Mr. Salt]

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

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

Mr. Salt
[asking about the squirrels taking Veruca]

Where are they taking her?

Where all the other bad nuts go. Down the garbage chute.

Mr. Salt

Where does the chute go!?

To the incinerator. But don't worry, we only light it on Tuesdays.

Today IS Tuesday.

Well, there's always a chance they decided not to light it today...

Daddy! I want a flying glass elevator!

Mr. Salt
[sternly]

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

[looks at her father angrily]

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

[sees something across the chocolate river while licking a lollipop]

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.

There's two of them.

There's more than two.

Where do they come from?

Who are they?

[to Wonka]

Are they real people?

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

Mr. Salt

Oompa-Loompas?

Imported, direct from Loompaland.
