401 What? 402 Oh, yeah, it's very beautiful. 403 Every drop of the river... 404 ...is hot, melted chocolate of the finest quality. 405 The waterfall is most important. 406 Mixes the chocolate. 407 Churns it up. Makes it light and frothy. 408 By the way... 409 ...no other factory in the world mixes its chocolate by waterfall, my dear children. 410 And you can take that to the bank. 411 People. 412 Those pipes... 413 ...suck up the chocolate and carry it away all over the factory. 414 Thousands of gallons an hour. Yeah. 415 And do you like my meadow? Try some of my grass. 416 Please have a blade. Please do. lt's so delectable and so darn good-looking. 417 You can eat the grass? 418 Of course you can. 419 Everything in this room is eatable. 420 Even I'm eatable. 421 But that is called cannibalism, my dear children... 422 ...and is, in fact, frowned upon in most societies. 423 Yeah. 424 Enjoy. 425 Go on. Scoot, scoot. 426 Son. 427 Please. 428 Dad, he said, ''Enjoy.'' 429 Why hold on to it? Why not start a new piece? 430 Because then l wouldn't be a champion. I'd be a loser, like you. 431 Daddy, look over there. 432 What is it? 433 lt's a little person. 434 Over there, by the waterfall. 435 -There's two of them. -There's more than two. 436 -Where do they come from? -Who are they? 437 Are they real people? 438 Of course they're real people. They're Oompa-Loompas. 439 -Oompa-Loompas? -lmported, direct from Loompaland. 440 -There's no such place. -What? 441 Mr. Wonka, l teach high-school geography, and I'm here to tell you-- 442 Well, then you'll know all about it, and, oh, what a terrible country it is. 443 The whole place is nothing but thick jungles... 444 ...infested by the most dangerous beasts in the entire world. 445 Hornswogglers and snozzwangers and those terrible, wicked whangdoodles. 446 I went to Loompaland looking for exotic new flavors for candy. 447 Instead... 448 ...I found the Oompa-Loompas. 449 They lived in tree houses to escape from the fierce creatures who lived below. 450 The Oompa-Loompas ate nothing but green caterpillars, which tasted revolting. |
