Quotes

Wonka

Edit
  • Willy Wonka: May I present, Willy Wonka's wild and wonderful wishy-washy Wonka walker! Please, don't make me say that again.
  • Noodle: What are you doing?
  • Willy Wonka: I'm making chocolate, of course. How do you like it? Dark? White? Nutty? Absolutely insane.
  • [from trailer]
  • Willy's Mother: Every good thing in this world, started with a dream. So you hold on to yours.
  • Willy Wonka: Ladies and gentlemen of the Galeries Gourmet, my name is Willy Wonka!
  • [from trailer]
  • Willy Wonka: So, you're the funny little man who's been following me.
  • Oompa-Loompa: I will have you know that I'm a perfectly respectable size for an Oompa-Loompa.
  • Willy Wonka: An Oompa-what-now?
  • Oompa-Loompa: Allow me to refresh your memory.
  • [plays the flute]
  • Willy Wonka: Oh, I don't think I want to hear that.
  • Oompa-Loompa: Too late.
  • [starting to dance]
  • Oompa-Loompa: I've started dancing now. Once we've started, we can't stop.
  • [from trailer]
  • Willy Wonka: I've spent the past seven years travelling the world, perfecting my craft. You see I'm something of a magician, inventor, and chocolate maker. So quiet up, and listen down. Nope. Scratch that, reverse it.
  • Noodle: What are we gonna do, Willy?
  • Willy Wonka: [the light bulb is on and he sees it] Huh.
  • Noodle: Huh?
  • Willy Wonka: [gets the idea] Huh.
  • Noodle: A double huh.
  • Willy Wonka: Do you have a pencil and paper?
  • Noodle: Uh-huh.
  • Willy Wonka: I got an idea.
  • Oompa-Loompa: Good night, sir. I'm going flat.
  • [puts on the sleep eye mask]
  • Willy Wonka: Huh.
  • Oompa-Loompa: [removes the sleep eye mask] What is it?
  • Willy Wonka: Nothing.
  • Oompa-Loompa: Well, it's obviously something because you said huh.
  • Willy Wonka: Forget it.
  • Oompa-Loompa: Very well.
  • [puts on the sleep eye mask again]
  • Willy Wonka: Huh.
  • Oompa-Loompa: [removes the sleep eye mask again] Ugh, you did it again. Tell me what it is, or I shall poke you quite viciously with a cocktail stick.

  • Willy Wonka: The little orange man, I didn't tell you about him?
  • Noodle: No. You didn't.
  • Willy Wonka: He's my nemesis. About yea high. Comes in the dead of night and he steals all my chocolate. Been happening every few weeks for the past three, four years now.
  • Noodle: Really.
  • Willy Wonka: Sometimes I spy him in that strange realm betwixt sleep and wake, green hair glinting in the moonlight.
  • Noodle: Green hair?
  • Willy Wonka: One day I shall catch him, Noodle.
  • Noodle: Willy.
  • Willy Wonka: And when I do...
  • Noodle: Willy! You don't seriously expect me to believe this, do you?
  • Willy Wonka: Of course I do! What other explanation is there?
  • Noodle: I don't know, that you go to sleep, dream about a little green man...
  • Willy Wonka: Orange man, green hair.
  • Noodle: ...and while you're dreaming, stuff your face with chocolate!
  • Willy Wonka: Stuff my--?
  • [pauses thoughtfully]
  • Willy Wonka: That makes a lot more sense.
  • Willy's Mother: The secret is, it's not the chocolate that matters. It's the people you share it with.

  • [Fickelgruber faking retches again]
  • Willy Wonka: Mark my words, this is gonna be the greatest chocolate shop, the world has ever seen!
  • Abacus Crunch: Many people have come here to sell chocolate, they've all been crushed by the Chocolate Cartel. You can't get a shop without selling chocolate, and you can't sell chocolate without a shop.

  • Sceptical Old Man: Yeti sweat?

  • Green-Bearded Customer: Uh, why not?
  • Orange-Haired Customer: What's wrong with them?
  • The Countess: What's the matter with this toadstool? My daughter took one bite and just look at her!
  • Green-Skinned Customer: There's nothing wrong with the chocolate milk, is it?
  • Willy Wonka: I'm terribly sorry, everyone and I know how to explain this, but... it appears that the chocolates has been poisoned!
  • Orange-Haired Customer: Poisoned?
  • Green-Skinned Customer: Poisoned?
  • The Countess: You poisoned my child!
  • Willy Wonka: I did-- I didn't poison them!

  • Slugworth: A good chocolate should be simple.
  • Fickelgruber: Whereas this, it's just.
  • Prodnose: Weird.
  • Willy Wonka: After seven years of line upon the ocean. It is time to bid the seven seas farewell. And the city I've pinned seven years of hopes on. Lies just over the horizon, I can hear the harbour bell. Land ahoy!. Got a tattered overcoat and battered suitcase. Got a pair of leaky boots upon my feet. Gotta drag myself up by my one good bootlace. Gotta work my rotten socks off if I want to make ends meet. I've poured everything I've got into my chocolate. Now, it's time to show the world my recipes. I've got twelve silver sovereigns in my pocket. And a hatful of dreams
  • Officer Affable: No daydreaming.
  • Slugworth: Now let us taste one of these so-called chocolates!
  • Larry Chucklesworth: Scrub-Scrub!
  • Willy Wonka: In this city, anyone can be successful. If they've talent and work hard, or so they say. But they didn't mention it would be so stressful. Just to make a dozen silver sovereigns last more than a day
  • [Hears the voice of a crying baby. Turns and looks back to see the young mother, holding her baby in her lap]
  • Young Mother: Could you spare a sovereign for a place to sleep, love?
  • Willy Wonka: Of course! Here, take all you need.
  • [Opens his hand to offer his remaining money]
  • Young Mother: Thank you!
  • [Gratefully takes some money and walks away]
  • Willy Wonka: I've got one silver sovereign in my pocket.
  • [Playfully throws his last sovereign up into the air, opening his pocket to catch it. The money misses his pocket, and falls into the drain. Willy sighs, but then smiles hopefully as he walks]
  • Willy Wonka: And a hatful of dreams...
  • Willy Wonka: Lost your hair, can't think where?
  • Townfolk: [Pointing at his hair] Feeling fairly bare up there
  • Willy Wonka: Don't despair I come prepared. Behold my hair repair éclair!
  • [Offers the sweet to customers in the barber shop]
  • Willy Wonka: It's made from ground vanilla. From the markets of Manila. Take heed eat more than three. And you'll end up like a gorilla!
  • [Customers' hair starts quickly growing after they eat the sweets]
  • The Consortium: Do you have a Sweet-Tooth?
  • Bleacher: Your eyes are like two rabbit droppings in a couple of bowls of custard.
  • Mrs. Scrubbit: So, tell me all about Bavaria.
  • Bleacher: Where?
  • Mrs. Scrubbit: Where you're from.
  • Bleacher: Oh, yes. It's very... Bavarian.
  • Willy Wonka: [singing] If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it! Anything you want you do it! Wanna change the world? There's nothing to it!
  • Bleacher: Orphan Syndrome!
  • Slugworth: Naughty, naughty, Mr. Wonka. You've caused us quite a little trouble.
  • Noodle: Read the small print.
  • Willy Wonka: You've got about 20 minutes before it exits through your rear.

  • Willy Wonka: Ladies and gentlemen, greetings to you all, and welcome to Wonka's. Tremendous things are in store, both literally and metaphorically.
