"Come on, let's boogie! Without the boat, we'll have to move double time There's far too much to see"

"Mr. Wonka?" Princess pulls on his arm.

"Yeah?"

"I hope you don't mind me asking: Why did you decide to let people in?"

"Why, to let people see the factory, of course!"

"But why now? And why only five" wolf added.

"What's the special prize, and who gets it?"

"The best kind of prize is a sur-prize!" He chuckles at his joke to ease the tension.

"Will Violet always be a blueberry?"

"No. Maybe. I don't know. But that's what you get for chewing gum all day. It's just disgusting"

"If you hate gum so much, why do you make it?"

"Once again, you shouldn't mumble, 'cause it's kinda starting to bum me out"

"Do you remember the first candy you ever ate?" Princess asked.

Then Wonka spaces out, "No..."

"In fact, Willy Wonka did remember the first candy he ever ate"

Young Willy appears, searching for a lost piece of the candy his father threw away.

He picks one up off the floor, looks around for his father, then, with considerable excitement and pain, unwraps it and forces it through his headgear. The lights flash, and suddenly Young Willy is eating a large box of chocolates with abandon. He tastes each one, then writes down notes about it in his notebook. Suddenly, he disappears, and Wonka returns to reality.

"Willy, Willy, WILLY!" Wolf snaps him out of it, "you alright, you kinda zoned out there for a bit"

"Huh? Oh yeah, Sorry- I was having a flashback"

"I see."

Wolf and princess look at each other, "do These flashbacks happen often?" Wolf asked:

"Increasingly... today"

Wonka leads the group up to the door of the Nut Sorting Room.

"Ah, this is a room I know all about! You see, Mr. Wonka, I am in the nut sorting business"

He hands Wonka his card. Wonka immediately tosses it over his shoulder without reading it princess and wolf watched.

"Are you using the Hammermax 4000 to do your sorting?"

"No... you're really weird"

He leads them into the Nut Sorting Room. The sounds of nuts being shelled at rapid rates can be heard. Thousands of squirrels shell the nuts.

"Squirrels!"

"Squirrels?" Wolf and princess said.

"Yeah, squirrels. These squirrels are specially trained to get the nuts out of their shells"

"Why use squirrels? Why not use Oompa Loompas?" Wolf asked.

"Because only squirrels can usually get the whole walnut out every time. You see how they tap each nut with their little knuckles to make sure it's not bad? Oh, look! I think that one's got a bad nut!"

The squirrel tosses the bad nut down the garbage chute.

"Daddy, I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels. I want one"

"Here we go again" wolf and princess said at the same time rolling their eyes in annoyance.

"Veruca, dear, you have many marvelous pets"

"All I've got at home is one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and two parakeets and two canaries and a green parrot and a turtle and a silly old hamster! I want a squirrel!"

"You know you shouldn't be spoiling your daughter, it'll only turn her into a selfish brat" wolf says.

Then Mr salt gets offended, "and what would you know about raising kids"

"I raised my princess perfectly and she turned out great, sure sometimes a spoil her a bit but she didn't turned to be a spoiled brat"

"I appreciate the advice but I know how to raise my own child Alright, pet. Daddy will get you a squirrel just as soon as he possibly can"

"But I don't want any old squirrel. I want a trained squirrel"

"Very well. Mr. Wonka, how much do you want for one of those squirrels? Name your price"

"They're not for sale. She can't have one"

"Daddy..."

Wonka mimics Mr. Salt perfectly.

"I'm sorry, darling. Mr. Wonka's being unreasonable"

"If you won't get me a squirrel, I'll get one myself"
She climbs under the railing towards the squirrels.

"Veruca..."

"Oh dear" princess says.

"Little girl..."

"This can't be good" wolf says.

"Veruca, come back here at once!" Veruca approaches the squirrels.

"Should've listened when you had the chance" wolf says.

"Veruca..."

"Little girl- don't touch that squirrel's nuts! It'll make him crazy!"

"I'll have you!" Veruca reaches for a squirrel.

The squirrels jump on Veruca en masse and drag her towards the garbage chute.

"Veruca!"

They gaped by the scary scene, princess was frightened she grabs wolf.

"Wolf?"

"It's ok princess" he wraps his arms around her.

Wonka pulls out a large ring of keys and begins to slowly search for the key to unlock the barrier to the floor.

"Gotta find the key... no, not that one..."

"Willy hurry" wolf says.

"Daddy!"

"There it is!... there it isn't."

"Daddy, I want them to stop!"

A squirrel climbs onto Veruca and taps on her head. He's found a bad one, it seems.

"What are they doing?" Diane asked.

"They're testing her to see if she's a bad nut... Oh, my goodness. It seems she is a bad nut after all"

The squirrels drag her towards the chute.

"Daddy..."

"Where are they taking her?"

"Where all the other bad nuts go- to the garbage chute"

"Where does the chute go?"

"To the incinerator"

"What?!" Princess and wolf shout.

"But don't worry, we only light it on Tuesdays"

"Willy, it is Tuesday" wolf says.

"Well, there's always the chance they decided not to light it today..."

Veruca screams in fear and pain as she finally falls down the garbage chute, princess buried her face in his chest and he rubs her back, Mr. Salt moans as well. The squirrels return to work.

"She may be stuck in the chute somewhere near the top. If that's the case, all you need to do is just reach in and pull her out"

Wonka, very deliberately, unlocks the door of the gate and steps aside. Mr. Salt walks and princess pulls away and watched as Mr salt walks through, and onto the main floor.

He stops, in confusion, as the Oompa Loompas, in hippie clothes, enter and begin to sing and dance around him. Their choreography is reminiscent of the musical Hair and Twyla Tharp, a stylized Summer Of Love happening.

Song: Veruca Salt

OOMPA LOOMPAS:

VERUCA SALT, THE LITTLE BRUTE

HAS JUST GONE DOWN THE GARBAGE CHUTE.

AND SHE WILL MEET AS SHE DESCENDS,

A RATHER DIFFERENT SET OF FRIENDS.

A RATHER DIFFERENT SET OF FRIENDS

A RATHER DIFFERENT SET OF FRIENDS.

A FISHHEAD, FOR EXAMPLE, CUT, THIS MORNING FROM A HALIBUT.

AN OYSTER FROM AN OYSTER STEW,

A STEAK THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD CHEW.

AND LOTS OF OTHER THINGS AS WELL,

EACH WITH IT'S RATHER HORRID SMELL, HORRID SMELL.

THESE ARE VERUCA'S NEWFOUND FRIENDS

THAT SHE WILL MEET AS SHE DESCENDS.

THESE ARE VERUCA'S NEWFOUND FRIENDS!

Mr. Salt finally walks down to find Veruca. The music grows more hypnotic, and the Oompa Loompas beckon to him.

OOMPA LOOMPAS:

WHO WENT AND SPOILED HER, WHO INDEED?

WHO PANDERED TO HER EVERY NEED?

WHO TURNED HER INTO SUCH A BRAT?

WHO ARE THE CULPRITS? WHO DID THAT?

THE GUILTY ONES, NOW THIS IS SAD,

ARE DEAR OLD MOM AND LOVING DAD.

A squirrel kicks Mr. Salt down into the chute. Causingveolg and Willy to chuckle, A second Oompa Loompa runs up to Wonka and whispers in his ear.

"Really? Oh, good!"

"What is it Willy?" Wolf asked.

"I've just been informed that the incinerator is broken and there should be about three weeks of rotten garbage to break their fall!"

"Well, that's good news"

"Yeah... let's keep on truckin'!"

Wolf takes princess hand who was still worried, "wolf?"

"Don't worry princess they will be fine but it goes to show you,nothing good ever comes when spoiling your children"

"I'm glad I'm not one of them" princess says.
