SIDE 1

(WONKA turns on a spigot; chocolate pours into a smelting pot.)

WONKA: And here we have the Chocolate Smelting Room—where thousands of miles of copper pipe twist through the earth, carefully chilling the chocolate to a precise temperature perfect for dipping strawberries.

AUGUSTUS: Herr Vonka, I vant to taste ze chocolate.

WONKA: No matter how tempting—and isn’t it deliciously tempting?—Do not TOUCH the chocolate!—It will instantly harden like cement.

VERUCA: (indicating above the audience) Look over there! It’s some sort of creature!

SIDE 2

CHARLIE: I don’t understand…

WONKA: This was a test of character, Charlie. I carefully selected rooms that would tempt each of our Golden Ticket winners. You, Charlie, did something quite remarkable. You gave in to temptation, you were smart enough not to get caught and yet—you admitted your guilt.

CHARLIE: But the other kids—

WONKA: They’ll be fine and they’ll each receive the booby prize—a lifetime supply of chocolate.

GRANDPA JOE: That’s the booby prize? What’s the real prize?

WONKA: Charlie, do you love my factory?

CHARLIE: It’s the most wonderful place in the whole world!

WONKA: I’m pleased to hear you say that, Charlie, because from this moment on, it’s yours!

CHARLIE: What do you mean?

WONKA: I’m giving you my factory, Charlie. I need an heir, and that person is you!

CHARLIE: You want me to run this entire factory? What about my Mom and Dad and Grandpa Joe and—

WONKA: The entire family can live here—

CHARLIE: I’d love to—I’d positively love to!

(WONKA and CHARLIE hug. WONKA gestures for CHARLIE’S Golden Ticket to light.)
