Willy Wonka

• Huh.
• I've spent the past seven years traveling 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.
• Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you a brand new contraption of my creation. An innovation in laundrification.
• I know things haven't been easy for you. They're going to get better.
• Ladies and gentlemen of The Galeries Gourmet, my name is Willy Wonka.
• So you're the funny, little man who's been following me.
• I guess it's time to change the world.
• Mark my words, this is going to be the greatest chocolate shop the world has ever seen!

Lofty

• I will have you know that I'm a perfectly respectable size of an Oompa-Loompa.
• In fact, in Loompaland, I'm regarded as something of a whopper. They call me Lofty. So I will thank you to stop gawking at me as though I was something unpleasant you’d found in your handkerchief. I find it uncomfortable and, frankly, rude.
• I've started dancing now. Once we've started, we can't stop, you see.
• Oompa-Loompas do not negotiate.
• You should stand up to those bullies. Give them the old one-two. That's what an Oompa-Loompa would do.
• Tell me what it is, or I shall poke you quite viciously with a cocktail stick.
• [sings] Oompa loompa doompadee doo.
  I've got a tragic tale for you.
  Oompa loompa doompadee dee.
  If you are wise, you'll listen to me.
• [sings] Oompa-loompa loompadee dee.
  I'm not in premium economy!

Noodle

• Read the small print.
• What are we gonna do, Willy?
• A double huh.
• You sure can be silly, Willy.
• The greedy hurt the needy every time, Wonka. That's the way of the world.

Others

• Father Julius: You know what you've done, Julius. You've sold your soul for thirty pieces of chocolate.

Dialogue

Noodle: The greedy beat the needy, Willy. That's the way of the world.
