Charlie and the Chocolate Factory quotes
Page 3 of 8Daddy, I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels, I want one!
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!
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!
[wearily]
Very well. Mr. Wonka, how much do you want for one of those squirrels. Name your price.
If you won't get me a squirrel, I'll get one myself!
Let's be friends.
Best friends.
[both turn away, obviously hating each other]
[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?
Of course they're real people. They're Oompa-Loompas.
Oompa-Loompas?
Imported, direct from Loompaland.
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.
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?
Yeah! Moms and dads.
What's so funny?
It must be from all those dog-gone cocoa beans. By the way, did you guys know that chocolate releases a property which triggers the release of endorphins? Gives one the feeling of being in love.
[about the three-course-dinner chewing gum]
I've tried it on like twenty Oompa-Loompas and each one ended up as a blueberry. It's just weird!
[after Violet has turned into a blueberry]
But, I can't have a blueberry for a daughter. How is she supposed to compete?
You could put her in a county fair.
[Mrs. Beauregarde looks at Veruca viciously]
[After the Augustus Gloop song]
Bravo! Well done! Well done! Aren't they delightful? Aren't they charming?
I do say, that all seemed rather rehearsed.
Like they knew it was going to happen.
Oh, poppycock.
[Getting his shoes shined by Charlie, with a paper in his face]
Pity about that chocolate maker-- Wedle... um... Walter...
Willy Wonka.
That's the one. Says here that his candies aren't selling very well. But I suppose he's just a rotten egg who deserves it.
Yep.
Oh, really. Ever met him?
I did once. I thought he was great at first. But then he didn't turn out so nice. He also has a funny haircut.
Why are you here?
I don't feel so hot. What makes you feel better when you feel terrible?
My family. What have you got against my family?
It's not just your family, it's the whole idea of... [balks] You know they're always telling you what to do, what not to do. It's not condusive to a creative atmosphere.
Usually, they're just trying to protect you, because they love you. If you don't believe me, you should ask.
Ask who? My father? Ha! No way. At least, not by myself...
Do you want me to go with you?
Hey! Hey what a great idea! Yeah! [jumps up] And you know what? I brought a transporta-- [bangs into the glass elevator] I have to watch where I park this thing.
An important room, this. After all, it is a chocolate factory.
Then why's the door so small?
That's to keep all the great big chocolatly flavor inside.
Here, try some of this. It'll do you good. You look starved to death.
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-
You're all quite short, aren't you?
Well, yeah. We're children.
Well, that's no excuse. I was never as short as you.
You were once.
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.
How do you feel about little raspberry kites?
With liquorice instead of string?
Boys, no business at the dinner table.
Sorry, Mum.
I think you're onto something though, Charlie.
Oh thank Heaven, he's completly unharmed.
Unharmed!? What are you talking about!?
Just put me back in the other way!
There is no other way, it's teleVISION not telePHONE, there's quite a difference.
Then what exactly do you propose to do about it?
I don't know, but young men are extremely springy, they stretch like mad... [gasps] Let's go put him in the taffy puller!
Hey! That was my idea! Boy, is he gonna be skinny.
People! Those pipes suck up the chocolate and carry it away all over the factory. Thousands of gallons an hour. Yeah. And do you like my meadow? Try the grass. Please have a blade, please do. It's so delectible and so darn good looking.
You can eat the grass?
Of course you can. Everything in this room is eatible. Even I'm eatible. But that is called 'cannibalism', my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.
