(At the Bucket’s)

Narrator – The next morning, Charlie helped his parents fix the hole in the roof. Grandpa Joe spent the whole day out of bed. He didn’t feel tired at all. Charlie’s father got a better job at the toothpaste factory…repairing the machine that had replaced him. Things had never been better for the Bucket family. The same could not be said for Willy Wonka.

(At the psychiatrist; Willy is lying on a long chair while the doctor listens to him attentively, sitting in an armchair. )

Willy – I can’t put my finger on it. Candy’s the only thing I was ever certain of and now I’m just not certain at all. I don’t know which flavours to make or which ideas to try. I’m second-guessing myself, which is nuts. I’ve always made whatever candy I felt like, and I ……That’s just it, isn’t it? I make the candy I feel like, but now I feel terrible, so the candy’s terrible. (Looking at the psychiatrist) You’re very good.

(On the street; Charlie is polishing shoes; Willy is having his shoes polished but hides behind a newspaper so that Charlie won’t be able to see he is there. )

Willy – Pity about that chocolate fellow, Wendell … Walter.

Charlie – Willy Wonka.

W. W. – That’s the one. Says here in the paper his new candies aren’t selling very well. But I suppose maybe he’s just a rotten egg who deserves it.

C. – Yep.

W. W. – Oh, really? You ever met him?

C. – I did. I thought he was great at first but then he didn’t turn out so nice. He also has a funny haircut.

W. W. (coming from behind the newspaper) I do not!

C. – Why are you here?

W. W. – I don’t feel so hot. What makes you feel better when you feel terrible?

C. – My family.

W. W. (in a disgusting, disappointed way) Ooooh.

C. – What do you have against my family?

W. W. – It’s not just your family. It’s the whole idea of ….. you know, they tell you what to do, what not to do and it’s not conducive to a creative atmosphere.

C. – Usually they’re just trying to protect you because they love you.

W. W. (surprised) Aaaah.

C. – If you don’t believe me, you should ask.

W. W. – Ask who? My father? Aah! No way! At least not by myself.

C. – You want me to go with you?

W. W. – Hey. Hey, what a good idea. Yeah! (they both start walking) And you know what? I’ve got transport…(Willy bumps into the transport) I have to be more careful where I park this thing.

(Willy opens the glass elevator and they both get in. They stop near an isolated house. Everything is covered in snow. They walk towards the house. When they get at the door…)

W. W. – I think we’ve got the wrong house. (He looks at the door sign and knows he is in the right house. Charlie rings at the doorbell. An old man dressed as a doctor appears at the door).

Doctor – Do you have an appointment?

C. – No. But he’s overdue.

(At the dentist’s; Willy Wonka lies on the dentist chair)

D. – Open (The dentist examines Willy’s mouth) Now, let’s see what the damage is, shall we? (The dentist goes on with his careful medical while Charlie looks around his practice and finds lots of paper cuts on the walls and kept in albums about Willy Wonka)

D. – Heavens! I haven’t seen bicuspids like these since… since…. (he looks at Willy) Willy?

W. W. – Hi, Dad.

D. – All these years…and you haven’t flossed.

W. W. – Not once. (they hug tenderly)

Narrator – It was on this day that Willy Wonka repeated his offer to Charlie who accepted on one condition.

(At the Bucket’s; Charlie and Willy come together)

C. – Sorry we’re late. We were brainstorming.

Grandpa – Thought I heard thunder.

Father – You staying for dinner, Willy?

W. W. – Yes, please.

Grandpa – I’ll shuffle the plates (they all sit at the table, together, as a big family)

Grandma (to Willy) – You smell like peanuts. I love peanuts.

W. W. – Oh, thank you. You smell like…. Old people and soap. I like it. (they hug)

Grandma – Elbows off the table, Charlie.

W. W. (to Charlie) – How do you feel about little raspberry kites?

C. – With liquorice instead of string.

Mother – Boys, no business at the dinner table.

C. – Sorry, Mom.

W. W. – I think you’re on to something, though, Charlie.

Narrator – 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.
