Willy Wonka

• Don't touch that squirrel's nuts! You'll make him crazy!

• Everything in this room is eatable. Even I'm eatable. But that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.

Grandpa George

• Mark my words, the kid who finds the first ticket will be fat, fat, fat!

• (after seeing that Augustus Gloop has found the first Golden Ticket) Told you it'd be porker.

• There's plenty of money out there. They print more every day. But this ticket-- There are only 5 of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money.

Dialogue

Charlie Bucket: Mr. Wonka, why would Augustus's name already be in the Oompa-Loompa song unless they—

Willy Wonka: Improvisation is a parlor trick. Anyone can do it. [turns to Violet] You, little girl, say something. Anything.

Violet Beauregarde: Chewing gum.

Willy Wonka: Chewing gum is really gross. Chewing gum I hate the most. See? Exactly the same.

Mike Teavee: No, it isn't.

Willy Wonka: Uh, you really shouldn't mumble because I can't understand a word you're saying.

Willy Wonka: You're all quite short, aren't you?

Violet Beauregarde: Well, yeah. We're children.

Willy Wonka: Well, that's no excuse. I was never as short as you.

Mike Teavee: You were once.

Willy Wonka: 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.

Mr. Salt: [asking about the squirrels taking Veruca] Where are they taking her?

Willy Wonka: Where all the other bad nuts go. Down the garbage chute.

Mr. Salt: Where does the chute go?

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

Mike Teavee: Today is Tuesday.

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

Mike Teavee: Why is everything here completely pointless?

Charlie Bucket: Candy doesn't have to have a point. That's why it's candy.
