46. WILLY WONKA'S OFFICE

(Everything is cut in half.)

GRANDPA JOE: Mr. Wonka?

WONKA: I am extraordinarily busy, sir.

GRANDPA JOE: I just wanted to ask about the chocolate. The... the lifetime supply of chocolate for Charlie. When does he get it?

WONKA: He doesn't.

GRANDPA JOE: Why not?

WONKA: Because he broke the rules.

GRANDPA JOE: What rules? We didn't see any rules, did we, Charlie?

WONKA: Wrong, sir, wrong! Under Section Thirty-Seven B 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 culpum, 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!

GRANDPA JOE: You're a crook. 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?! YOU'RE AN INHUMAN MONSTER!

WONKA: I SAID GOOD DAY!

GRANDPA JOE: Come on, Charlie, let's get out of here. I'll get even with him if it's the last thing I ever do. If Slugworth wants a Gobstopper, he'll get one.

(Long pause.)

CHARLIE: Mr. Wonka . . .

(Charlie leaves the Gobstopper on Willy Wonka's desk.)

WONKA: So shines a good deed in a weary world. Charlie . . . my boy . . . You 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. Charlie, meet Mr. Wilkinson.

(Wilkinson enters.)

WILKINSON: Pleasure.

CHARLIE: Slugworth!

WONKA: No, no, that's not Slugworth. He works for me.

CHARLIE: For you?

WONKA: I had to test you, Charlie, and you passed the test. You won!

GRANDPA JOE: Won what?

WONKA: The jackpot, my dear sir! The grand and glorious jackpot!

CHARLIE: The chocolate?

WONKA: The chocolate. Yes, the chocolate, but that's just the beginning! We have to get on, we have to get on; we have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it. This way, please. We'll take the Wonkavator. Step in, Charlie. Grandpa Joe, sir. This is the Great Glass Wonkavator.

GRANDPA JOE: It's an elevator.

WONKA: It's a Wonkavator. An elevator can only go up and down, but the Wonkavator can go sideways and slantways and longways and backways...

CHARLIE: And frontways?

WONKA: ...and squareways and frontways and any other ways that you can think of. It can take you to any room in the whole factory just by pressing one of these buttons. Any of these buttons. Just press a button and ZING! You're off. And up until now I've pressed them all . . . except one. This one. Go ahead, Charlie.

CHARLIE: Me? (He pushes the button.)

WONKA: There it goes. Hold on tight. I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen. Faster, faster . . . If we don't pick up enough speed, we'll never get through.

CHARLIE: Get through what?

WONKA: Ah-ha!

GRANDPA JOE: You mean we're going . . .?

WONKA: Up and out!

GRANDPA JOE: But this roof is made of glass! It'll shatter into a thousand pieces! We'll be cut to ribbons!

WONKA: Probably. Hold on, everybody! Here it comes!

(The Wonkavator crashes through the roof and flies into the sky.)

GRANDPA JOE: You did it, Mr. Wonka, congratulations!

WONKA: Get up. Take a look.

CHARLIE: Grandpa, our town looks so pretty from up here!

GRANDPA JOE: Yeah, look over here, Charlie! I think I see our house!

CHARLIE: Wow!

GRANDPA JOE: It really looks beautiful!

CHARLIE: There's my school, Grandpa!

WONKA: How did you like the chocolate factory, Charlie?

CHARLIE: I think it's the most wonderful place in the whole world.

WONKA: I'm very pleased to hear you say that because I'm giving it to you. That's all right, isn't it?

GRANDPA JOE: You're giving Charlie the--?

WONKA: I can't go on forever, and I don't really want to try. So, who can I trust to run the factory when I leave and take care of the Oompa Loompas for me? Not a grownup. A grownup would want to do everything his own way, not mine. That's why I decided a long time ago I had to find a child. A very honest, loving child to whom I can tell all my most precious candy making secrets.

CHARLIE: And that's why you sent out the Golden Tickets.

WONKA: That's right. So the factory's yours, Charlie; you can move in immediately.

GRANDPA JOE: And me?

WONKA: Absolutely.

CHARLIE: What happens to the rest of--

WONKA: The whole family. I want you to bring them all. (Charlie hugs him.) But Charlie... don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted.

CHARLIE: What happened?

WONKA: He lived happily ever after.
