Where s the food? I m hungry. Mrs. Gloop: Gee, Mr. Wonka, what IS wrong with that river over there? It s all brown and muddy-looking? 3

Wonka: Nothing wrong with it silly woman! It is ALL chocolate. Every drop of that river is the finest quality chocolate in the world. Mr. Gloop: Amazing! Simply amazing!

Mrs. Beauragarde: Look at their funny hair. Mr. Gloop: They have such funny faces. Augustus: That s impossible. There are no people in the world as small as that. Wonka: OH no?? There are more than three thousand of them in my factory. They are Oompa Loomas! ALL: Oompa Loompas? Narrator One: Wonka explained how each Oompa Loompa was imported directly from Loompa Land. Narrator Two: He explained how they love cocoa beans Wonka: So I talked to the leader of the Oompas in Oompa Loompish of course, and now they work here and eat all the cocoa beans they want. Veruca: I want an Oompa Loompa! Mrs. Salt: Now, now my pet, we must not interrupt Mr. Wonka. Veruca: But I WANT AN OOMPA LOOMPA!

Narrator Two: Now you folks are really in for a treat as we visit the Invention room! Narrator One: This is Wonka s most important room in the entire factory. Narrator Two: All his secret new inventions are cooking and simmering in here. But you ll see Wonka: Now listen to me, I want to touching, no meddling and above all NO TASTING, is that understood? All: Yes, yes. Violet: What is this Mr. Wonka? Wonka: Everlasting Gobstoppers! They re completely new. You can put an Everlasting Gobstopper in your mouth and suck it, and suck it and suck it and it never gets smaller. Violet: It s like gum! Wonka: It is NOT like gum. If you tried to chew an Everlasting Gobstopper you d break your teeth. Mrs. Beauragarde: Amazing! Wonka: Now over here is something I m terrifically proud of now all of you stand back. (he pushes machine, noise starts) TADA! Violet: You mean that s all? Wonka: That s all. Don t you know what it is? Violet: By gum, it s GUM! Wonka: Right you are it s a chewing gum MEAL. This will be the end of cooking, forks, plates and dishes this piece happens to be Roast Beef, Tomato Soup and Blueberry Pie. (Violet grabs the gum) Violet: Oh the heck with you. (she starts chewing) It s delicious. Wonka: Spit it out. Mrs. Beauregarde: Keep chewing, kiddo! Keep right on chewing baby. My little girl is the first girl in the world to have a chewing gum meal. Wonka: It isn t ready for eating, you mustn t chew it! Mrs. Beauregarde: Good heavens, girl! What s happening to your nose? It s turning blue! Violet: Oh be quiet mother and let me finish. Mrs. Beauregarde: Your cheeks! Your chin! Your whole face is turning blue. Violet, you re turning violet, Violet! Joe: It must be the blueberry pie that does it. Violet: (going backstage) I feel most peculiar. 6

Veruca: She s swelling up. Mrs. Beauregarde: Violet you re blowing up like a balloon! Call a docter. Mrs. Salt: Prick her with a pin. Mrs. Beauregarde: Save here! Wonka: (Snaps fingers) The Oompa-Loompas will roll her into the juicing room at once. (Oompas enter and line up) Mr. Salt: The juicing room? What for? Wonka: To SQUEEZE her! We ve got to squeeze the juice out of her at once. (Mrs.Beauregarde gasps and exits) Charlie: Mr. Wonka? Will Violet ever be all right again? Wonka: She ll come out of the de-juicing machine purple from head to toe. But that s what happens when you chew disgusting gum all day. Mike: If it s so disgusting, then why do you make it in your factory? Wonka: I can t hear a word you re saying. Come one, off we go! (All exit except oompas) Ofour: Dear friends, there is almost nothing worse to see. Ofive: Than some repulsive little bum. Osix: Who s always chewing chewing gum. Oseven: Did any of you ever know a person called Miss Bigelow? Oeight: This dreadful woman saw no wrong. Onine: In chewing, chewing all day long. Oten: And when she couldn t find her gum. Otwo: She d chew up the linoleum. Oone: Or anything that happened near. Otwo: A pair of boots, the postman s ear. Othree: And once she chewed her boyfriend s nose. Ofour: And then one night she went to sleep. Ofive: But her jaws kept chewing, chewing they could not stop Osix: This sleeping woman s great big trap. Oseven: Opening and shutting Oompas: Snap-snap-snap! Oeight: Faster and faster Oompas: Chop-chop-chop! Onine: The noise went on, it wouldn t stop. Oten: And with the most tremendous chew she bit her own tongue in two. 7

Othree: And that is why we ll try so hard, so save Miss Violet Beauregarde. (they all laugh and run off) Scene 4 The Nut Room: Narrator One: Those little Oompas just come and go so quickly. Narrator Two: I love their little songs. Narrator Three: But we re going to stop here and show you a very special room in the factory Narrator Two: The Nut Room! (two Oompas hold nut room) Charlie: Oh, LOOK, Grandpa! Look! Mrs. Salt: Miniature squirrels! Mr. Salt: There must be a hundred of them by that pile of walnuts. Narrator One: Wonka explained that these squirrels are specially trained for getting the nuts out of walnuts. Mrs. Salt: Why use squirrels? Mr. Salt: Why not use Oompa Loompas? Wonka: Nobody can get walnuts out of walnut shells in one piece, except squirrels. And I need whole walnuts for all my candy. Mrs. Salt: Why are they tapping the walnuts Wonka: They first tap each walnut, and if it s rotten they simply throw it down the garbage chute. Veruca: Hey, daddy, I ve decided I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels. Mr. Salt: Don t be silly darling. These all belong to Mr. Wonka. Veruca: I don t care about that. I want one. All I ve got at home is two dogs, and four cats, and six bunny rabbits, and two parakeets, and three canaries, and a green parrot, and a turtle, and a bowl of goldfish and a silly old hamster. I want a squirrel! Mrs. Salt: All right, settle down, daddy will get you a squirrel just as soon as he possibly can. Mr. Salt: All right Wonka, name your price. How much for one of those crazy squirrels? Wonka: They re not for sale. She can t have one. Veruca: Who says I can t? I m going in to grab me a squirrel right this very minute. Mrs. Salt: Don t! Veruca: All right, I ll have you. AHHH!! (the squirrels attack) Mr. Salt: Veruca!!! Joe: Oh, no, They ve all jumped on her. Mrs. Teavee: They ve pinned her down! Mike: And one is on top of her head Mr. Teavee: And it s tap-tap-taping on her head? Mrs. Salt: Save her! Veruca, come back! 8

Mr. Salt: What are they doing to her? Wonka: They re testing her to see if she s a bad nut. Watch! Veruca: AHHH!!! EEECCCKK!!!! (she goes down the shoot) Wonka: I guess she was a bad nut after all. Mrs. Salt: Where are they taking her? Wonka: She s going were all the other bad nuts go- down the rubbish chute. Mr. Salt: Where does the rubbish chute go? Wonka: To the furnace. Mrs. Salt: The furnace? Mr. Salt: Now see here Wonka My daughter may be a bit of a frump, I don t mind admitting it, but that doesn t mean you can roast her to a crisp! Wonka: Don t be cross, she may not have even gone down the chute, she may be stuck just below the entrance. If that is the case all you have to do is go in and pull her out. Mrs. Salt: (Mr. & Mrs. at the same time) Veruca! (she goes in) Are you down there. AHHHH!!! Mr. Salt: Veruca?!? Eeeckkk! Wonka: OH no, the squirrels pushed them both in too. Charlie: OH dear, what on earth will happen to them? Wonka: We only light the great fiery incinerator every OTHER day maybe they ll get lucky? The children are disappearing like rabbits I ve never seen anything like it. OH well, shall we move on? Joe: OH, yes. Mike: My feet are getting tired! I want to watch television. Wonka: Then I have just the room for you follow me! (All exit, oompas enter) Oone: Veruca Salt, the little brute. Otwo: Has just gone down the rubbish chute. Othree: Down goes Veruca! Down the drain! Ofour: And here, perhaps, we should explain. Ofive: That she will meet, as she descends. Osix: A rather different set of friends. Oseven: Some liverwurst so old and grey. Oeight: One smelled it from a mile away. Onine: A rotten nut, a reeky pear. Oten: A thing the cat left on the stair. Ofive: You might be wondering if all the scolding and the shame.should fall upon Veruca salt? 9

Oompas: Is she the only one at fault? Oone: For though she s spoiled, and dreadfully so, Otwo: A girl can t spoil herself you know. Othree: Who turned her into such a brat? Ofour: Who are the culprits? Who did that? Ofive: Alas! You needn t look so far. Osix: To find out who these sinner are. Oseven: They are and this is very sad. Oeight: Her loving parents, Mom and Dad. Onine: And this is why we re glad they fell. Oten: Into the rubbish chute as well. Oone: Good riddance! Scene 5 The Television Room Narrator One: I can smell that liverwurst from here! Narrator Three: Pee-Eww, what a way to go. Narrator One: Well here we are at Mr. Wonka s latest and greatest invention Television Chocolate. Narrator Two: What is Television Chocolate? Narrator Three: You ll have to wait and see. (We see two oompas operating a camera and television) Mike: Where is the T.V.??? Wonka: Hold your horses, silly child. Now I thought if a photograph could be broken into a million pieces and sent whizzing through the air and then put together again on a screen why couldn t I do the same thing with a Candy Bar. Mike: Impossible! Wonka: Think so? Bring me that chocolate bar (an Oompa enters) Mr. Teavee: Why is the candy bar so big? Wonka: Whenever you send something by television it always comes out much smaller on the other end. Here we go, get ready. STOP! Mike Teavee step back, you re too close. Mrs. Teavee: Mike, come stand by me. Wonka: That s better. Now then switch on! (the lights black out and then up) Joe: The chocolate s gone! Wonka: Watch the screen. (it appears) Take it. Mike: How can you take it? It s just a picture on the television? Charlie: (takes it) It s absolutely fantastic. Joe: It s it s it s amazing! 10

Mike: But, Mr. Wonka, can you send other things through the air in the same way? Like a person? Wonka: A person? Are you off your rocker? Mike: But could it be done? Wonka: Good heavens, child, I really don t know I suppose it could...but it could have some very nasty results. Mike: Look at me! I m going to be the first person in the world to be sent by television! Mrs. Teavee: No! No! NO! Mr. Teavee: Mike! Stop! Come back here! Mike: See you later, alligator! (the lights black out and then up) Mrs. Teavee: He s gone! Wonka: We shall have to watch the television, he may come through and any moment. Mr. Teavee: He s taking heck of a long time to come across. Joe: Hold everything. Watch the screen. Charlie: Something s happening. Mrs. Teavee: Here he comes. (he appears) Yes, that s him all right! (Ken doll) Wonka: Grab him. Quick! He s completely okay! Mr. Teavee: You call that okay? He s a doll! Wonka: Of course he s shrunk. What did you expect? Mrs. Teavee: This is terrible! I can t send him to school like this! He ll get squashed! Mr. Teavee: (holds mini-mike to his ear) What did you say Mike? NEVER! No, you will not be able to watch television. Mrs. Teavee: We re throwing that television right out the window when we get home. Mr. Teavee: (puts mini-mike in pocket) There! (slaps pocket) Charlie: Gee, how will Mike ever grow again? Wonka: Well small boys ARE extremely springy and elastic. Maybe he ll stretch if we put him on a special machine I have for testing the tough stretchiness of chewing gum! Mrs. Teavee: How far do you think he ll stretch? Wonka: Maybe miles!!!! Just hand these orders to the Oompas (snap fingers, oompas enter) and don t look so worried, they all come out in the wash you know. Mr. Teavee: Mike, stop yelling! (slaps pocket again) (they exit) Oone: The most important thing we ve learned. Otwo: As far as children are concerned. Oompas: Is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, let them near your television set! Othree: They loll and slop and lounge about, 11

Ofour: And stare until their eyes pop out. Ofive: And did you every stop to think? Osix: What this does to your beloved tot? Oseven: It rots the senses in the head. Oeight: It kills imagination dead. Onine: His powers of thinking rust and freeze! Oten: He cannot think- he only sees! Ooompas: All right! Osix: you ll cry. Oompas: All right! Oseven: You ll say. Oone: But if we take the set away? Otwo: What shall we do to entertain Othree: Our darling children? Please explain! Ofour: We ll answer this by asking you, Ofive: What used the darling ones to do? Oompas: They used to.read! Osix: They read and read, Oseven: And read and read Oeight: And then proceed to read some more. Onine: Great Scott! Gadzooks! Oten: One half their lives was reading books! Oeight: So please, oh please, we beg, we pray! Oompas: Go throw your T.V. set away! (Blachout. Oompas stay on stage as Wonka, Joe, and Charlie enter) Scene 6 The Elevator Room Wonka: Which room shall be next? Hurry up! And how many children are left now?
