Favorite Quote

Don't know if it's my favorite quote but I find myself saying "Strike that, reverse it" a lot.. most people seem to know where it's from.

I like "The suspense is terrible . . . I hope it'll last."

I always love rants so:

"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 -- "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"! 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!"

Great line of poetry: "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

And of course, the end:
"But Charlie, don't forget what happened to the boy who suddenly got everything he ever wanted."
"What happened?"
"He lived happily ever after."

My favorite is:

Charlie: What was that we just went through?
Mr. Wonka: Hsaw Aknow.
Mrs. Teevee: Is that Japanese?
Mr. Wonka: No, that's Wonka Wash spelled backwards.

I thought that was pretty funny. :P

I was just researching this the other day for a friend... I hope not to offend anyone with the full text

Ode
Arthur O'Shaughnessy
(1844-1881)

We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams; --
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.



With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample a kingdom down.

We, in the ages lying,
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself in our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

A breath of our inspiration
Is the life of each generation;
A wondrous thing of our dreaming
Unearthly, impossible seeming --
The soldier, the king, and the peasant
Are working together in one,
Till our dream shall become their present,
And their work in the world be done.

They had no vision amazing
Of the goodly house they are raising;
They had no divine foreshowing
Of the land to which they are going:
But on one man's soul it hath broken,
A light that doth not depart;
And his look, or a word he hath spoken,
Wrought flame in another man's heart.

And therefore to-day is thrilling
With a past day's late fulfilling;
And the multitudes are enlisted
In the faith that their fathers resisted,
And, scorning the dream of to-morrow,
Are bringing to pass, as they may,
In the world, for its joy or its sorrow,
The dream that was scorned yesterday.

But we, with our dreaming and singing,
Ceaseless and sorrowless we!
The glory about us clinging
Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing:
O men! it must ever be
That we dwell, in our dreaming and singing,
A little apart from ye.

For we are afar with the dawning
And the suns that are not yet high,
And out of the infinite morning
Intrepid you hear us cry --
How, spite of your human scorning,
Once more God's future draws nigh,
And already goes forth the warning
That ye of the past must die.

Great hail! we cry to the comers
From the dazzling unknown shore;
Bring us hither your sun and your summers;
And renew our world as of yore;
You shall teach us your song's new numbers,
And things that we dreamed not before:
Yea, in spite of a dreamer who slumbers,
And a singer who sings no more.

"...I've just decided to switch our Friday's schedule to Monday, which means the test we take each Friday on what we've learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we've learned it. But since the day is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest. Pencils Ready!"

there are so many :)

The first one that comes to mind is

[Noticing signs on vats.]
Mr. Salt: Wonka! Butterscotch? Buttergin? You running something on the side here?
Willy Wonka: Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker!


Sam Beauregarde: What is this Wonka, some kind of funhouse?
Willy Wonka: Why? Are you having fun?


Reporter: Four down, one to go and somewhere out there a lucky person is moving closer and closer to the most sought after prize in history. Though we cannot help but envy whoever he is, and we may feel bitter but we must remember there are more important things, many more important things. Though offhand I cannot think of what they are but I'm sure there must be something.


Mrs Gloop: Don't just stand there do something!
Willy Wonka: [sarcastically] Help! Police! Murder!


Mike Teevee: Wait 'til I get a real one! Colt 45. Pop won't let me have one yet, will ya, pop?
Mr. Teevee: Not 'til you're 12, son.


Mike Teevee: Look at me! I'm gonna be the first person in the world to be sent by television!
Mrs. Teevee: Mike, get away from that thing!
Willy Wonka: [sarcastically] Stop! Don't! Come back!

"What is this some sort of funhouse?!?" "Why? You having fun?"

"Up the airy mountain, down the rushing glen; we dare not go a hunting for fear of little men."

OK, that's only my third favorite, but my first and second were already posted by others.

i'll always adore the part where he says candy is dandy but liquour is quicker...

just some ...

- (when Augustus falls into the chocolate river) Wonka: "Help, police, murder ..."

- Veruca: "Daddy, I want an Oompa Loompa! I want you to get me an Oompa Loompa right away!"
Mr. Salt: "Alright, Veruca, alright. We'll get you one before the day is out."
Veruca: "But I want an Oompa Loompa NOW!"
Violet: "Can it, you nit!"

- Veruca: "Spitting's a dirty habit."
Wonka: "I know a worse one."

don't even get me started. I can quote the whole movie.
