Mrs. Beauregarde: [disapprovingly] Yes, but you’re blue.

Violet Beauregarde: Are they real people?
Willy Wonka: Of course they’re real people. They’re Oompa Loompas.
Mr. Salt: Oompa Loompas?
Willy Wonka: Imported. Direct from Loompaland.
Mr. Teavee: There’s no such place.
Willy Wonka: What?
Mr. Teavee: Mr Wonka, I teach high school geography, and I’m here to tell you…

Grandma Georgina: You smell like peanuts. I love peanuts.
Willy Wonka: Oh, thank you. You smell like… old people. And soap. I like it.

Veruca Salt: Will Violet always be a blueberry?
Willy Wonka: No. Maybe. I dunno. But that’s what you get from chewing gum all day, it’s just disgusting.

Mr. Teavee: …doesn’t seem like they stay kids very long.

Charlie Bucket: [on chocolate river, deep in factory, passing an open door in which Oompa-Loompas are whipping a cow] Whipped cream.
Willy Wonka: Exactly!
Veruca Salt: That doesn’t make any sense.
Willy Wonka: For your information, little girl, whipped cream isn’t whipped cream at all unless it’s been whipped with whips. Everybody knows that.

Veruca Salt: Daddy, I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels. I want one.
Mr. Salt: Veruca dear, you have many marvelous pets.

Willy Wonka: And the rest of you must be their p-p-…
Mr. Salt: Parents?
Willy Wonka: Yeah! Moms and dads!
[expression darkens]
Willy Wonka: Dad? Papa?

Grandpa George: You don’t know what we’re talking about.
Grandma Georgina: [after a moment] Dragonflies?

Mr. Bucket: Your mum and I thought, maybe you’d like to open your birthday present tonight.

Grandpa Joe: All together we’re 381 years old. We don’t wait.

Grandpa George: There’s plenty of money out there. They print more of it every day. But that ticket? There are only five of them in the 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?

Charlie Bucket: [asking about Violet's gum] Why hold onto it? Why not start a new piece?

[about Veruca Salt winning a golden ticket]
Grandpa George: She’s even worse than the fat boy!

Willy Wonka: [coming upon a tiny door] An important room, this. It is a chocolate factory, after all.
