2005 Film[]
Wonka's father: Willy? |
- To clarify: Wonka's father Wilbur was a dentist who regarded candy of all kinds as a waste of time. On the walls of his surgery however, was every single newspaper clipping about his son since the day he left. His love for his son overrode any sense of anger he had at his act of rebellion and natural dislike of all things sugary. Aaaawww.
- Grandpa George, who up until this point has been pessimistically talking down Charlie's chances of finding a Golden Ticket, talks him out of selling it. "There's plenty of money out there. They print more every day. But this ticket, there's only five 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. Are you a dummy?"
- The candy shop owner. He absolutely freaks out that Wonka's last Golden Ticket was found in, of all possible places, his corner shop. Then, when two strangers make money offers to Charlie, he gives them both a non-violent Shut UP, Hannibal.
