"Without the boat we'll have to move double-time to keep on schedule There's far too much to see." Willy explains as we walk down a large hallway
"Mr Wonka?" Charlie asks
"Yeah?" Willy replies
"Why did you decide to let people in?" You grasp Charlies arm gently
"So they could see the factory, of course." Willy responds
Your free hand slides to your stomach as yet another strong kick is delivered.
You could tell this baby was going to be an athlete.
"But why now? And why only five?"
"What's the special prize, and who gets it?" Mike cuts in
"The best kind of prize is a surprise." Willy laughs
"Will Violet always be a blueberry?" Veruca literally shoves Mike out of the way
Bitch.
"No. Maybe. I don't know." Willy shrugs "That's what you get from chewing gum all day. It's disgusting."
"If you hate gum so much, why do you make it?" Mike shoots back
"Once again, you shouldn't mumble. It's starting to bum me out." Willy sighs
"Are you alright dear?" Grandpa Joe asks you
You give him a tight-lipped smile "Yeah I'm okay, this little peanut is just being quite the kicker, has never really heard their father talk for this long so they're probably excited" At least...That's what you hope it is..
"Can you remember the first candy you ever ate?" Charlie questions
Willy stops walking and pauses for a few seconds "No..."
And with that you watch as your husband has a flashback.
"Is he okay?" Mr Salt asks
"Perfectly fine, just a flashback, give him a few minutes"
"These flashbacks happen often?" Mr Teevee asks, which is what causes Willy to snap out of his trance
"Increasingly...today." Willy grins and continues on walking
"This is a room I know all about. For you see, Mr.Wonka, l, myself, am in the nut business." Mr Salt proudly states handing Willy a business card.
Willy hands you the card which you throw behind you
"Are you using the Havermax 4000 to do your sorting?" Mr Salt asks
"No. You're really weird." Willy chuckles and opens the door
"Squirrels!" Veruca squeaks
"Yeah, Squirrels. These squirrels are specially trained to get the nuts out of shells." Willy explains
The group admires the squirrels doing their job
"Why use squirrels? Why not use Oompa-Loompas?" Mr Salt asks
"Because only squirrels can get the whole walnut out almost every single time. See how they tap them with their knuckles to make sure it's not bad?" Willy points to a Squirrel "Oh, look. Look." Willy points to another one
"I think that one has a bad nut" You murmur
"Daddy, I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels. I want one." You roll your eyes at Veruca's attitude but choose to stay silent
"Veruca, dear, you have many marvellous pets.-"
"All I've got at home is one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits...and two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle...and a silly old hamster. I want a squirrel"
As Veruca lists off her pets you mouth to Charlie 'She's got 21 pets?' your eyes wide with shock
"All right, pet. Daddy will get you a squirrel as soon as he possibly can." Mr Salt agrees
"But I don't want any old squirrel, I want a trained squirrel." Veruca exclaims
"Very well. Mr.Wonka, how much do you want for one of these squirrels? Name your price." Mr Salt questions whilst pulling out his wallet
Willy looks down and sees Veruca giving him a toothy smile
"Oh, they're not for sale. She can't have one." Willy replies
"Daddy." Veruca turns to glare at her father
"I'm sorry, darling. Mr.Wonka's being unreasonable."
"If you won't get me a squirrel, I'll get one myself." Veruca growls, kneeling down and slides through the gate
"Veruca." Mr Salt warns
"Little Girl?" Willy says
"Veruca, come back here at once. Veruca." Her father orders, but she ignores him
The whole room falls silent, even the Squirrels stop working to watch what the little girl was going to do.
"Little girl? Don't touch that squirrel's nuts. It'll make him crazy." Willy shouts
Veruca reaches out to grab the Squirrel "I'll have you"
Within a flash Veruca is pinned to the ground, Squirrels coming from all different directions crowding her and carrying her so she was in front of the group.
"Daddy, I want them to stop." Veruca whines
You watch as Willy uses every different key but the one needed, you do a side smirk knowing exactly what he was doing
"What are they doing?" Mr Salt asks
"They're testing to see if she's a bad nut." You explain
You watch with baited breath as the Squirrel who first attacked Veruca starts tapping on her head, the sudden noise says everything you need to know
"Oh my goodness, she is a bad nut"
"Daddy!" Veruca cries as the Squirrels start dragging her to the chute
"Where are they taking her?"
"Where all the other bad nuts go. To the garbage chute." You state
"Where does the chute go?!" You remain silent
"To the incinerator." Willy replies "But don't worry. We only light it on Tuesdays."
Mr Salts face changes to a look of horror
"Today is Tuesday" Mike rolls his eyes
"Well, there's always the chance they decided not to light it today." Veruca's distant shrieks prove that she has fallen
Finally, Willy finds the Key and slowly unlocks the gate
"Now she may be stuck in the chute just below the top. If that's the case, all you have to do is just reach in and pull her out. Okay?" Willy opens the gate allowing for Mr Salt to pass through
You giggle silently as Mr Salt gets kicked into the chute by a Squirrel.
An Oompa Loompa tugs on Willys pants
"Oh, really? Oh, good." Willy smiles widely "I've just been informed that the incinerator's broken. So there should be about three weeks of rotten garbage to break their fall."
"Well, that's good news." Mr TeeVee gives your husband a look of suspicion
"Yeah. Well, let's keep on trucking." Willy quickly walks out of the room and down the corridor
