“You Did It, Charlie” scene (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) Lyrics
GRANDPA JOE
Mr. Wonka?
WONKA
[pointedly ignoring him and Charlie] I am extraordinarily busy, sir.
GRANDPA JOE
[tentatively] I just wanted to ask about the chocolate, the lifetime supply of chocolate, for Charlie. Wh-When does he get it?
WONKA
He doesn't.
GRANDPA JOE
Why not?
WONKA
Because he broke the rules.
GRANDPA JOE
What rules? We didn't see any rules, did we, Charlie?
[Charlie shakes his head briefly]
WONKA
[springs up from his chair, angrily] Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy:
Mr. Wonka?
WONKA
[pointedly ignoring him and Charlie] I am extraordinarily busy, sir.
GRANDPA JOE

WONKA
He doesn't.
GRANDPA JOE

WONKA
Because he broke the rules.
GRANDPA JOE
What rules? We didn't see any rules, did we, Charlie?
[Charlie shakes his head briefly]
WONKA
[springs up from his chair, angrily] Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy:
[grabs a magnifying glass and reads]
WONKA
"I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum!
[slams the contract copy and the magnifying glass down, continues shouting]
WONKA
It's all there! Black and white, clear as crystal! You stole Fizzy-Lifting Drinks! You bumped into the ceiling, which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you GET... NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR! [returns to work]
GRANDPA JOE
[shocked] You're a crook... [furiously] You're a cheat and a swindler...! That's what you are! How can you do a thing like this?! Build up a little boy's hopes, and then smash all his dreams to pieces?! [lividly] You're an inhuman monster...!
WONKA
[shouts even louder] I said "GOOD DAY"!! [goes on about his work]
GRANDPA JOE
Come on, Charlie. Let's get out of here. [sets to leave] I'll get even with him if it's the last thing I ever do. If Slugworth wants a Gobstopper, he'll get one.
[he and Charlie are about to leave, when Charlie slowly walks up to Wonka]
CHARLIE
Mr. Wonka?
[he places the Everlasting Gobstopper on Wonka's desk and sets off]
WONKA
[puts his hand on the Gobstopper, while writing] "So shines a good deed in a weary world." [looks up] Charlie? My boy. You've won! You did it! You did it! I knew you would! I just knew you would! Oh, Charlie, forgive me for putting you through this. Please, forgive me. Come in, Mr. Wilkinson! [The man originally known as Slugworth walks in.] Charlie, meet Mr. Wilkinson!
WONKA
"I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis, incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... Memo bis punitor delicatum!

WILKINSON
Pleasure!
CHARLIE
Slugworth!
WONKA
No, no! That's not Slugworth. He works for me!
CHARLIE
For you?
WONKA
I had to test you, Charlie. And you passed the test! You won!
GRANDPA JOE
Won what?!
WONKA
The jackpot, my dear sir! The grand and glorious jackpot!
CHARLIE
The chocolate?
WONKA
The chocolate, yes! The chocolate, but that's just the beginning! We hafta get on! We hafta get on! We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that. Reverse it. This way, please!
