Quotes
-
Willy Wonka : Try some more. The strawberries taste like strawberries, and the snozzberries taste like snozzberries.
Veruca Salt : Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?
Willy Wonka : [grabbing Veruca's mouth and pinching it a bit to hold it open] *We* are the music makers... and *we* are the dreamers of dreams.

Violet Beauregarde : Well, they can't be real people.
Willy Wonka : Why, of course they're real people.
Mr. Salt : Stuff and nonsense!
Willy Wonka : No, Oompa Loompas.
The Group : [turning around] Oompa Loompas?
Willy Wonka : From Loompaland.
Mrs. Teevee : Loompaland? There's no such place.
Willy Wonka : Excuse me, dear lady, but...
Mrs. Teevee : Mr. Wonka, I am a teacher of geography.
Willy Wonka : 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?
Willy Wonka : 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 : [whining] I want an Oompa Loompa now!
Violet Beauregarde : Can it, you nit!
-
Mrs. Gloop : What a disgusting, dirty river!
Mr. Salt : Industrial waste, that. You've ruined your watershed Wonka: it's polluted.
Willy Wonka : It's chocolate.
Veruca Salt : That's chocolate?
Charlie : That's chocolate!
Violet Beauregarde : A chocolate river.
-
Veruca Salt : [singing] I want the world. I want the whole world. I want to lock it all up in my pocket. It's my bar of chocolate. Give it to me now.
-
Mr. Salt : Wonka, how much do you want for the golden goose?
Willy Wonka : They're not for sale.
Mr. Salt : Name your price.
Willy Wonka : She can't have one.
Veruca Salt : Who says I can't?
Mr. Salt : The man with the funny hat.

[Willy Wonka and the group are still on the boat and are at the hallway outside the inventing room]
Willy Wonka : We're there.
Mrs. Teevee : Where?
Willy Wonka : Here. A small step for mankind, but a giant step for us. All ashore!
Mr. Beauregarde : Let me off this crate!
Mike Teevee : Now why don't they show stuff like that on T.V.?
Mrs. Teevee : I don't know.
Mr. Salt : What a nightmare.
Veruca Salt : Daddy, I do not want a boat like this.
[Charlie and Grandpa Joe look and read a sign at the door]
Charlie : Dairy cream...
Grandpa Joe : Whipped cream...
Charlie : Coffee cream...
Grandpa Joe : Vanilla cream...
Charlie , Grandpa Joe : Hair cream?
Willy Wonka : Meine Herrschaften, schenken Sie mir ihre aufmerksamkeit.
[Translation: My dominions, please give me your attention]
Mrs. Teevee : That's not French.
Willy Wonka : Sie kommen jetzt in den interessantesten und gleichzeitig geheimsten raum meiner fabrik.
[Translation: You have now come to the most interesting and, at the same time, the most secret room of my factory]
Mr. Salt : I can't take much more of this.
Willy Wonka : Meine Damen und Herren, der Inventing Room.
[Translation: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Inventing Room]
Willy Wonka : Now, remember: No messing about, no touching, no tasting, no telling.
Grandpa Joe : No telling what?
Willy Wonka : You see, all of my most secret inventions are cooking and simmering in here. Old Slugworth would give his false teeth to get inside for just five minutes, so don't touch a thing!

Veruca Salt : [to Mr. Salt] I want to go in! Don't you dare stop me!
Mr. Salt : I'm only trying to help you, sweetheart.
Veruca Salt : [to Violet] Give me that pen!
[Veruca grabs the pen from Violet]
Veruca Salt : [to Mr. Salt] You're always making things difficult.
[signs the contract]
Willy Wonka : [admiringly] Nicely handled, Veruca! Now there's a girl who knows where she's going.

Veruca Salt : 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 here, 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 till I have it!
Mr. Salt : Veruca, sweetheart, angel. Now, there are four tickets left in the whole world, and the whole ruddy world's hunting for them! What can I do?
-
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 place to start 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 five 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 till dusk!
Veruca Salt : Make them work nights!
-
Veruca Salt : [after Willy gives an Everlasting Gobstopper to each of the kids] Hey, she's got two! I want another one!
Violet Beauregarde : [showing her Gobstopper to Veruca] Stop squawking, you twit!
Willy Wonka : [making it clear he's not going to stand for the girls' bickering] Everybody has had ONE, and ONE is enough for anybody. Now come along.
