The Wonkatania appears, an enormous boat made of candy, manned by a rowing crew of Oompa Loompas. The Chief, now dressed like the rest, keeps time on a drum. The boat stops, and the Oompa Loompas laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"I think it's from all those doggone cocoa beans. Hey, by the way, did you guys know that chocolate contains a property that triggers the release of endorphins, which gives one the feelings of being in love!"

"You don't say..."

Master of the game, Mrs. Beauregarde shoots Wonka a flirtatious gaze. Wonka shakes it off. And his friend wolf pats on his back.

"Let's just go"

"Yep All aboard!" Everyone climbs into the boat but Willy stops them.

"Hold up, princess and her dad get to go first, my dear" Willy takes her hand.

"Oh" she was flattered while getting glares from the kids who muttered: lucky.

Once Willy helps princess on the boat, she and wolf sit next beside him.

"Onward!"

The drums resume, and the boat sails off, towards a tunnel. Wonka spoons up some chocolate from the river with a ladle, which he passes to princess.

"Here, some of this will do you good. You look starved to death" princes tries it, then passes it to wolf.

"It's great!"

"You never had chocolate like mines have you"

I have, but it's great delicious"

"That's because it's mixed by waterfall. The waterfall is most important. It mixes the chocolate- churns it up, makes it light and frothy. And by the way, no other
factory in the world-"

"Uh Willy" wolf tries to explain.

"You already said that"

Wonka tenses up, then releases after an awkward moment.

"You're all quite short, aren't you?"

"Well, yeah. We're children"

"Well, that's no excuse. I was never as short as you"

"Yes you were"

"Was not. You wanna know why? Because I distinctly remember putting a hat on top of my head. Look at your short little arms- you could never reach"

"Do you even remember what it was like being a kid?" Princess asked.

"Oh, boy, do I" then Willy starts to spaces out.

"Do I... Do I?"

"In fact, Willy Wonka hadn't thought about his childhood for years"

The scene becomes a flashback. Kids in Halloween costumes run about, up to a door. Mrs. Levi opens it.

"Trick or treat!"

"Oh, who do we have here? Ruthie, Veronica, Terrence, Phillip... and who's that under the sheet?"

Young Willy lifts his ghost sheet off, revealing disgusting orthodontic headgear.

"Little Willy Wonka" Young Willy walks off, embarrassed. He heads home.

"Willy Wonka was the son of the city's most famous dentist. Wilbur Wonka, D.D.S"

Wilbur, Young Willy's father, takes the candy bag from his son.

"Now, let's see what the damage is this year, shall we?"
He dumps out the candy and examines it.

"Caramels. They'd get stuck in your braces, wouldn't they? Lollipops. Ought to be called cavities on a stick! Then we have all of this... chocolate. You know, just last week I was reading in a very important medical journal that some children are allergic to chocolate. It makes their noses itch"

"Maybe I'm not allergic. I could try it"

"Really? But why take a chance?"

Wilbur scoops up the candy and throws it away, into the audience. Young Willy looks sad. They disappear and the action onstage continues, with Wonka still in a trance.

"Willy, Willy" wolf snapped him out of the trance when he sense something wrong with him.

"You alright"

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Mr. Wonka! We're headed for a tunnel!" Princess says.

"Oh, yeah. Full speed ahead!" The boat sails into the tunnel. Blackout.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"How can they see where they're going?"

"They can't. There's no knowing where we're going!"

There is a long pause in the dark princess was frightened wolf holds on to her.

"Switch on the lights" The lights come up on a row of doors along the river.

"People? Keep an eye out, we're passing some very important rooms here"

On the left, they see clotted cream, coffee cream, hair cream.

"What do you use hair cream for?"

"To lock in moisture. And behind this door, unmarked due to renovations-" Mooing is heard, with whips cracking.

"Whipped cream I get it" princess laughs.

"Precisely!"

"That doesn't make sense"

"For your information, little girl, whipped cream isn't whipped cream at all, unless it's been whipped with whips! Everybody knows that. oh! Stop the boat! I want to show you something"

Everyone gets out of the boat and enters the Inventing Room. It's a mad scientist's candy laboratory.

"This is the most important room in the entire factory. Now, everyone enjoy yourselves, but please, just don't touch anything, okay? Go on" Violet approaches a strange-looking contraption.

"Hey, Mr. Wonka, what's this?"

"Oh! Let me show you!"

A hand pops out of the machine and hands him a Gobstopper.

"Thank you... These are Everlasting Gobstoppers. They're for children who are given very little allowance money. You can suck on it all year, and it'll never get any smaller!"

"Like gum!"

"No, gum is for chewing. If you tried chewing a Gobstopper, you'd break all your little teeth off. But they sure do taste terrific"

He looks down at princess who was looking at him, then he gives her the gobstopper.

"Here, a little gift fromwonka's factory" she puts it up and He crosses to another machine.

"Now this is hair toffee. You suck down one of these little boogers and in exactly half an hour, a fresh new crop of hair will start growing all over the top of your
little noggin. With a moustache and a beard!"

"Ah I remember that" wolf says.

"Yeah" Willy smiled.

"Who wants a beard?"

"Well, beatniks for one, folk singers and motorbike riders. Y'know. All those hip, jazzy, super cool, neat, keen, and groovy cats. It's in the fridge, daddy-o! Are you hip to the jive? Can you dig what I'm layin' down? I knew that you could. Slide me some skin, soul brother!"

He puts out his hand for a high five. Mike does not return it but he hears princess laughing and returns the hug five back.

"See this one gets me, Unfortunately, the mixture isn't quite right yet. An Oompa Loompa tried it yesterday, and-"

An Oompa Loompa enters looking like Cousin It from The Addams Family, with hair covering his entire body.

"How are you today?" Two hands pop out from under the hair and give thumbs ups.

"You look great! Oooh- watch this! Wonka pulls a lever, and a machine goes through an amazing process, before finally, anticlimactically, dispensing a stick of chewing gum. Violet takes it immediately.

"You mean that's it?"

"Do you even know what "it" is?"

"It's gum"

"Yeah. It's a stick of the most amazing and sensational gum in the whole universe. Know why? Know why? Because this gum is a full three-course dinner all by
itself!"

"Why would anyone want that?" Wonka pulls out note cards to read off his answer.

"It will be the end of all kitchens and cooking. Just one strip of Wonka's Chewing Gum and that is all you will ever need at breakfast, lunch or dinner. This piece of gum happens to be tomato soup, roast beef and blueberry pie."

"It sounds great!"

"It sounds weird"

"Sounds odd" princess says as she and wolf look up at each other.

"It sounds like my kind of gum!" She takes out her piece of gum, sticks it behind her ear, and prepares to chew the new one.

"I'd rather you didn't. There are still a few things that we're-"

"I'm the world record holder in chewing gum. I'm not afraid of anything" She chews the stick of gum.

"How is it, honey?"

"It's amazing! Tomato soup- I can feel it running down my throat!"

"Yeah! Spit it out."

"Young lady, I think you'd better-" Diane says.

"Wolf, Why doesn't she listen to Mr. Wonka?" Princess asked.

"Because, princess, she's a nitwit"

Both chuckle but get a glare from the mom and they stopped.

"It's changing! Roast beef with baked potato! Crispy skin and butter!"

"Keep chewing, kiddo! My little girl's gonna be the first person in the world to have a chewing gum meal!"

"I'm just a little concerned about the-"

"Blueberry pie and ice cream!"

"Yeah. That part" Violet slowly begins to turn blue.

"Wolf?" Princess was concerning.

"What's happening to her nose?"

"What? She's turning blue!"

"Your whole nose has gone purple!"

"What do you mean?"

"Violet, you're turning violet! What's happening?"

"Well, I told you I hadn't got it right, because it goes a little funny when it gets to the dessert. It's the blueberry pie that does it. I'm terribly sorry"

"Wolf?" princess was worried she holds on tight to him.

"Willy?" he holds on tight.

Wonka, uncomfortable yet fascinated, steps back to watch the ensuing transformation.

He knows full well what's going to happen, so he steps behind the others. Violet turns violet and begins to inflate into a giant blueberry.

"Mother, what's happening to me?"

"She's swelling up!" Diane says

"Like a blueberry!" Wolf says.

Princess is scared she buried her face in his chest and he rubs her back, Wonka stands behind Mrs. Beauregarde, who watches in horror, then startles her by his sudden entrance into conversation.

"I've tried it on twenty Oompa Loompas and each one ended up as a blueberry It's just weird!"

"But I can't have a blueberry as a daughter. How is she
supposed to compete?"

"You could put her in a county fair"

The Oompa Loompas enter, dancing and chanting, for their next song. It's a hip-hop funk parody. They dance with imitation hipness, like disco dancers meet wiggers. It's all rather strange.

Oompa Loompas:

The Oompa Loompas roll Violet away.

"Mr wonka!" Violet shouts.

"I want you to roll Miss Beauregarde into the boat and take her along to the juicing room at once" The Oompa Loompa bows.

"The juicing room? What are they going to do to her there?"

"Squeeze her like a little pimple! We've got to squeeze all that juice out of her immediately. Before she explodes"

"Mother- help me! Please!" Mrs. Beauregarde runs off to join her daughter.
