Chocolate Factory (part 3)

 -I believe Violet will be OK! Let's move on to another factory room!
-What's in this room?
-These are my magical ducklings that lay chocolate eggs!
-Can ducklings lay eggs?
-That's why they are magical!




-This is the eggdicator! I'll explain how it works! When an egg is laid it goes down the funnel to the eggdicator! If the egg is good is collected and then gets packed for the market. If it's bad then the drop opens and it goes down the garbage chute!



-Daddy, I want a magical duckling!
-OK dear, I will get you one when we go back home...
-NO! I WANT one of these!
-Mr Wonka, how much do you want for one of these ducklings?
-These are not for sale! She can't have one!



-No! I want one! I want one of these ducklings! I'll get one now!
-Veruca get out of there at once!...



-I want one... noooooooww...
...
-Oh no!
-She was a bad egg!
-Where is my daughter?
-She's gone down the garbage chute!
-Where does this lead?
-To the furnace.
-What? She'll be sizzled like a sausage!
-Not necessarily. She could be stuck just inside the tube. In that case all you need to do is reach in and pull her out.
-Hold on sweetheart, Daddy's coming!
-Hmm... There's gonna be a lot of garbage today!




-Ready to go on? First you must put on these special glasses because the light in here could blind you! This is my latest and greatest invention, the Wonkavision!
-Like television?
-Short of! You see I had this great idea! If with simple TV they can break a photograph into millions of pieces, send it through the air and put them back together at the other end, why can't I do it with a chocolate bar!
-No way!
-Well, let's find out...



-Bring the chocolate bar in!
-it's huge!
-That's because whenever you transmit something by television, it always ends up smaller on the other end. Now I will try to send this bar from this side of the room to the other only by air!
-I'm a TV expert and I can tell that this is impossible! It doesn't work that way...
-You speak too much... Just wait and see...Lights, camera... Action!
-Where's the chocolate?
-It's flying over our heads in a million pieces!



-Now watch the screen. Here it comes... There it is. Mike, take it!
-That's impossible. It's only a picture...
-Charlie. You take it! Go on, just reach out and grab it.



-Wow! It's real!
-Of course it is real! It's the same bar, only it got a little smaller on the way! But it tastes as delicious as all the others!



-Have you tried to send other things except chocolate?
-I could try anything Mike!
-How about... people!
-I don't think they taste any good!
-But don't you realise what you've invented? It's a teleporter! And you only think about chocolate! That's so stupid!
-Mike! Calm down! Mr Wonka knows what he's doing...
-No he doesn't! He thinks he's a genius but he's not!



-Look at me! I'll be the first person to be sent by television!
-Mike! Get away from that machine!
-Lights, camera, action!...
-Oh no! Where is he?...



-Oh look! It's... Mike!
-Hi dad!
-Son! Are you OK?
-I'm fine!
-Let me get you out of there!...



-Mike! Are you OK my son?
-I feel great!
-Well... he looks unharmed!
-You call this unharmed? He is tiny!
-Oh don't worry! Young boys are extremely flexible and stretchy! We will put him in the tuffy puller!
-What? But...
-No problem! Come on Lumpas! Take them to the taffy puller room and stretch him out! And be extremely careful!



-Shall we go on with the tour? How many children are left?
-Mr. Wonka, Charlie is the only one left!
-Only him? ... Oh, my dear boy, that means... YOU HAVE WON!!!
-What? Really? Thank you so much Mr. Wonka!
-Congratulations! I knew it would be you!
-Oh thank you! But... what will happen to the other kids?
-Don't worry! They'll be quite alright! And a little bit wiser maybe! Come on, we've got so many things to do! But first let me take you a ride with my Wonkavator!
-Is it an elevator?
-Not quite! The Wonkavator can go to every direction you want, so you can visit any room in the factory and not only...! Please step in! I will also announce you your prize!



-By pressing those buttons we can travel to any room in the factory! Actually I have used all of them except this one in the red circle!
-It says up and out! This means that...
-Exactly! Up and out! I’ve been longing to press that button for years! Go on Charlie!
-Are you sure Mr. Wonka? The Wonkavator is made out of glass! Is it safe?
-Well, I think so... Let's find out... Now, press it!
-Well... OK...
-Hold on everybody! Here it comes!...



-Yay! We made it! That's amazing!
-I only hope we can land properly Mr Wonka!
-Don't worry! The turbines will give us a safe landing! Just enjoy the view!
-Wow! We can see the whole town from up here! Look grandpa, that's my school!
-I can see our house too!
-So, did you like the factory Charlie?
-It's the most wonderful place in the world!
-So glad to hear you say that because... I'm giving it to you!
-You are giving Charlie the factory?
-Exactly! You know I'm a lonely man, without any family, so I thought I should find a very honest, loving child to whom I can tell all my most precious candy making secrets! And that child is you Charlie! The factory is yours! You can move in whenever you like!
-Wow! Thank you Mr Wonka!... But... what about my family?
-You can bring them all here too!
-Oh that would be great! That would be really a dream come true!




In the end, Charlie Bucket won a chocolate factory, but Willy Wonka got something even better - a family!
... And one thing was absolutely certain… life had never been sweeter!
