Grandpa George : The kids who are going to find the golden tickets are the ones who can afford to buy candy bars every day! Our Charlie gets only one a year. He doesn't have a chance.
Grandma Josephine : Everyone has a chance, Charlie.
Grandpa George : Mark my words. The kid who finds the first ticket will be fat, fat, fat.
[Cuts to Augustus Gloop holding up the winning ticket]
German Reporter : Augustus!
Augustus Gloop : [as cameras flash] I'm eating the Wonka bar and I taste something that is not chocolate. Or coconut, or walnut, or peanut butter, or nougat, or butter brittle, or caramel, or sprinkles. So I look and I find the golden ticket.

Charlie Bucket : But it didn't close forever, it's open right now.
Mrs. Bucket : Ah, yes, well sometimes, when grown ups say "forever," they mean, "a very long time."
Grandpa George : Such as, I feel like I've eaten nothing but cabbage soup forever.
Mr. Bucket : Now pops...
Grandma Josephine : The factory did close, Charlie.
Grandpa Joe : And it seemed like it was going to be closed forever. Then, one day, we saw smoke rising from the chimneys. The factory was back in business!
Charlie Bucket : Did you get your job back?
Grandpa Joe : No. No one did.
Charlie Bucket : But there must be people working there.
Grandma Josephine : Think about it, Charlie. Have you ever seen a single person going into that factory? Or coming out of it?
Charlie Bucket : No. The gates are always closed.
Grandpa Joe : Exactly.
Charlie Bucket : But then, who's running the machines?
Mrs. Bucket : Nobody knows, Charlie.
