SIDE 1

MRS. BUCKET: Charlie, come...eat.

CHARLIE: Here’s the paper, Dad.

MR. BUCKET: (looks at the front page) Well, I’ll be a chocolate crispy! Will you look at this? “Wonka factory to be opened to a lucky few.”

GRANDPA JOE: Do you mean people are actually going to be allowed inside the factory?

MRS. BUCKET: Read what it says!

MR. BUCKET: “Mr. Willy Wonka has decided to allow five children to visit his factory. The lucky five will tour the factory and receive a lifetime supply of Wonka chocolate.”

GRANDPA JOE: Tour the factory?

CHARLIE: A lifetime supply of chocolate?

EVERYONE EXCEPT FOR CHARLIE: Read on!

MR. BUCKET: “Five Golden Tickets have been hidden among five million ordinary candy bars. The finders of these Golden Tickets will win the tour and the chocolate!"”

GRANDPA GEORGE: That’s a million to one shot!

MRS. BUCKET: The tickets could be anywhere. How exciting! I wonder if any of ’em have been found yet. That paper’s a day old.

GRANDPA JOE: Charlie, Charlie, can you imagine winning?

GRANDMA GEORGINA: Touring the factory—

GRANDMA JOSEPHINA: Meeting Mr. Wonka—

GRANDPA JOE: Seeing for yourself all those undead, zombie workers—

CHARLIE: Eating a lifetime supply of chocolate…

ALL: Eating a lifetime supply of chocolate!

(A loud factory whistle sounds.)

MRS. BUCKET: One o’clock already? Charlie, you’d better hurry. You’ll be late for school.

MR. BUCKET: It’s back to the twists and turns of toothpaste for me.

MRS. BUCKET: Goodbye, Mr. Bucket.

MR. BUCKET: Goodbye, Mrs. Bucket. (MR. BUCKET exits.)

GRANDPA JOE: Charlie—remember we may be starving, we may be poor, but the Bucket family always—

ALL: Thinks positive!

GRANDPA JOE: Write it in purple ink, Charlie. Purple ink.

GEORGE: Positive!
