-October 1st 1971-

Mr.B:I'll get even with you for this Wonka if it's the last thing I ever do!.I got a blueberry for a daughter.

The Oompa Loompa leads him away to follow his daughter.

Willy:Where is fancy bred?.In the heart, or in the head?.Shall we roll on?.

An Oompa Loompa hands Willy his cane.

Willy:"To the Oompa Loompa".Thank you."To the group".Well,Well,Well...two naughty,Nasty little children gone.Three good,Sweet little children left."Takes Lara's Hand".Hurry please long way to go yet.

We follow Willy into another room.

Willy:Wait a minute.Must show you this. Lickable wallpaper for nursery walls.Lick an orange it tastes like an orange.Lick a pineapple it tastes like a pineapple.Go ahead try it.

As everyone licks the wallpaper i lick my lollipop.

Joe:"Licks".Oh.

Mike:"Licking".Mmm I got a plum.

Charlie:Grandpa this banana's fantastic!.It tastes so real.

Willy:Try some more.The strawberries taste like strawberries.The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!.

Veruca:"Looks to Willy".Snozzberries?.Who ever heard of a snozzberry?."About to lick the wall".

Willy:"Grabs her face".We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams.Come along.

Willy takes my hand as we walk into another room.

Willy:Something very unusual in here. Bubbles,Bubbles everywhere but not a drop to drink.Yet.

Charlie:What's it making Mr.Wonka?.

Willy:Fizzy Lifting Drinks.They fill you with gas and the gas is so terrifically lifting that it lifts you right off the ground like a balloon.

Veruca:Oh isn't it high!.Gosh!.

Willy:But I daren't sell it yet.It's still too powerful.

Mike:Come on let us try some!.Please?.

Veruca:Oh let us try some.Don't be mean.

Willy:No,No,No.Absolutely not.There'd be children floating around all over the place.Come along now don't hang about. You're going to be wild about this next room.

Willy takes my hand leading us to the next room.

Willy:I know what you're thinking...They can't be doing what they're doing.But they are.They have to.I haven't met the Oompa Loompa yet who could do it.These are the geese that lay the golden eggs.As you can see they're larger than ordinary geese.As a matter of fact they're quadruple size geese which produce octuple size eggs.They're laying overtime right now for Easter.

Mike:But Easter's over.

Willy:Sh!."Covers Mike's mouth with his hand".They don't know that.I'm trying to get ahead for next year.
