Veruca Salt [singing]
I want a party with roomfuls of laughter, / Ten thousand tons of ice cream, / And if I don't get the things I am after, / I'm going to SCREAM!

Scenes with Veruca Salt
11 scenes Veruca Salt I wanted to be the first to find a Golden Ticket, Daddy.
Mr. Salt
I know, angel. We're doing the best we can. I've got every girl in the bleeding stockroom hunting for you.
Veruca Salt All right! Where is it?! Why haven't they found it?
Mr. Salt
Veruca, sweetheart. I'm not a magician! Give me time!
Veruca Salt I want it now! What's the matter with those twerps down there!?
Mr. Salt
For 5 days now, the entire flipping factory's been on the job! They haven't shelled a peanut in there since Monday! They've been shelling flaming chocolate bars from dawn to dusk!
Veruca Salt Make 'em work nights!
Mr. Salt
Come along! Come along, you girls! Put a jack in it! Or you'll be out in your ears! Every one of ya! And listen to this! The 1st girl that finds a Golden Ticket gets a £1 bonus in her pay packet! What do you think of that?!
Veruca Salt [every worker cheers and gets back to work faster]
They're not even trying. They don't want to find it. They're jealous of me.
Mr. Salt
Sweetheart, I can't push them no harder. 19,000 bars an hour they're shelling. 760,000 they've done so far!
Veruca Salt You promised, Daddy! You promised I'd have it the very first day!
Mrs. Salt
You're going to be very unpopular around her, Henry, if you don't deliver soon.
Mr. Salt
It breaks my heart, Henrietta. I hate to see her unhappy.
Veruca Salt I won't talk to you ever again. You're a rotten, mean father! You never give me anything I want! And I won't go to school until I have it.
Mr. Salt
Veruca, sweetheart, angel. Now, there are four tickets left in the world, and the whole ruddy world's hunting for them!! What can I do?!
The strawberries taste like strawberries. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!
Veruca Salt Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?
[Wonka grabs Veruca's jaw]
We are the music makers... and we are the dreamers of dreams.
Well they can't be real people.
Well of course they're real people.
Mr. Salt
Stuff and nonsense.
No, Oompa Loompas.
The Group
Oompa Loompas?
From Loompaland.
Loompaland? There's no such place.
Excuse me, dear lady...
Mr. Wonka, I am a teacher of geography.
Oh, well then you know all about it and what a terrible country it is. Nothing but desolate wastes and fierce beasts. And the poor little Oompa Loompas were so small and helpless, they would get gobbled up right and left. A Wangdoodle would eat ten of them for breakfast and think nothing of it. And so, I said, "Come and live with me in peace and safety, away from all the Wangdoodles and Hornswogglers and Snozzwangers and rotten Vermicious Knids."
Mr. Salt
Snozzwangers? Vermicious Knids? What kind of rubbish is that?
I'm sorry, but all questions must be submitted in writing. And so, in the greatest of secrecy I transported the entire population of Oompa Loompas to my factory here.
Veruca Salt Hey, Daddy, I want an Oompa Loompa. I want you to get me an Oompa Loompa right away.
Mr. Salt
All right, Veruca, all right. I'll get you one before the day is out.
Veruca Salt I want an Oompa Loompa now!
Can it, you nit!
Mr. Salt
What is this Wonka, some kind of fun house?
Why? Having fun?
Veruca Salt [Wonka has just handed Everlasting Gobstoppers out to all the remaining kids]
Hey, she's got two! I want another one!
Stop squawking, you twit!
Everybody has had one and one is enough for anybody. Now come along. Now over here, if you'll follow me, I have something rather special to show you.
Mr. Salt
Well, it's special, all right. I hope my Veruca doesn't want one. [he laughs]
Don't you know what this is?
By gum, it's gum!
Wrong! It's the most amazing, fabulous, sensational gum in the whole world.
What so fab about that?
This little piece of gum is a three course dinner.
Mr. Salt
Bull.
No, roast beef. But I haven't got it quite right yet.
All aboard, everybody.
Mr. Salt
Ladies first and that means Veruca.
Mr. Salt
Wonka, how much do you want for the golden goose?
They're not for sale.
Mr. Salt
Name your price.
She can't have one.
Veruca Salt Who says I can't?!
Mr. Salt
The man with the funny hat.
Mr. Salt
Where's she gone?
Where all the other bad eggs go: down the garbage chute.
Mr. Salt
[laughs heartily]
Oh, the garbage chute. Where does it lead to?
To the furnace.
Mr. Salt
[laughs heartily]
The furnace! She'll be sizzled like a sausage.
Well, not necessarily. She could be stuck just inside the tube.
Mr. Salt
[laughs heartily]
Inside the...
Mr. Salt
[he starts suddenly in shock and runs]
Hold on! Veruca! Sweetheart! Daddy's coming!
Well, Mr. Salt finally got what he wanted.
What's that?
Veruca went first.
Grandpa, look over there across the river! They're little men!
Jumping crocodiles, Charlie! Now we know who makes the chocolate.
Mr. Salt
[everyone stares in amazement at the Oompa-Loompas]
I never saw anybody with an orange face before. Funny-looking people, aren't they, Wonka?
What are they doing there?
Must be creaming and sugaring time.
Well, they can't be real people.
Well, of course they're real people.
Mr. Salt
Stuff and nonsense!
No. Oompa Loompas.

Must show you this. Lickable wallpaper for nursery walls. Lick an orange. It tastes like an orange. Lick a pineapple. It tastes like a pineapple. Go ahead. Try it.
Mike [the tourists lick the wallpaper]
Mmm! I got a plum.
Grandpa, this banana's fantastic! It tastes so real!
Try some more. The strawberries taste like strawberries. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries.
Veruca Snozzberries?! Who ever heard of a snozzberry?
We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.
Here, Wonka is quoting Arthur O'Shaughnessy's "Ode," Music and Moonlight (1874), lines 1–2.
Mr. Wonka?
I am extraordinarily busy, sir.
I just wanted to ask about the chocolate, the lifetime supply of chocolate, for Charlie. When does he get it?
He doesn't.
Why not?
Because he broke the rules.
What rules? We didn't see any rules, did we, Charlie?
[angrily]
Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum! It's all there! Black and white, clear as crystal! You stole Fizzy-Lifting Drinks! You bumped into the ceiling, which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get... NOTHING!!! You lose! GOOD DAY, SIR! [returns to work]
[shocked]
You're a crook... [furiously] You're a cheat and a swindler...! That's what you are! How can you do a thing like this?! Build up a little boy's hopes, and then smash all his dreams to pieces?! [lividly] You're an inhuman monster...!
I said "GOOD DAY"!! [goes on about his work]
Come on, Charlie. Let's get out of here. [sets to leave] I'll get even with him if it's the last thing I ever do. If Slugworth wants a Gobstopper, he'll get one.
[he places the Everlasting Gobstopper on Wonka's desk and sets off as Wonka stops writing] [puts his hand on the Gobstopper]
"So shines a good deed in a weary world." [looks up] Charlie? My boy. You've won! You did it! You did it! I knew you would! I just knew you would! Oh, Charlie, forgive me for putting you through this. Please, forgive me. Come in, Mr. Wilkinson! [The man originally known as Slugworth walks in.] Charlie, meet Mr. Wilkinson!
Wilkinson
Pleasure!
Slugworth!
No, no! That's not Slugworth! He works for me!
For you?
I had to test you, Charlie. And you passed the test! You won!
Won what?!
The jackpot, my dear sir! The grand and glorious jackpot!
The chocolate?
The chocolate, yes! The chocolate, but that's just the beginning! We hafta get on! We hafta get on! We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it. This way, please!
