Original London Cast of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The Chocolate Room
(With the contract finally signed, Willy waves his cane and reveals a wonderful garden of candy delights. Willy invites the children to enjoy the room but whatever they do, they mustn’t go near the chocolate waterfall.)

[WILLY WONKA, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen…
Welcome to the Chocolate Room!
I’ve never shown this room to anyone before…
You’re the first to see it.​
Everything you see, every tree, every flower and every bird is made completely and entirely out of chocolate.​

[CHARLIE]
Grandpa Joe
Now I know
I'll never have to dream again
For I've had dreams incredible
But here's a dream that is edible

[CHARLIE, GRANDPA JOE, AUGUSTUS, MRS. GLOOP, VERUCA, MR. SALT, VIOLET, MR. BEAUREGARDE, MIKE & MRS. TEAVEE]
Mr. Wonka, pinch us, please
So we can taste the forest for the trees

(As the children explore this wonderland, the bewildered adults ask Willy what its purpose is. Willy bemusedly explains…)

[MR. SALT, spoken]
Look here, Wonka, the waterfall makes sense but what’s the point in all the rest of this stuff?

[WILLY WONKA, spoken]
The point?
[MR. SALT, spoken]
Well, what’s it for?

[WILLY WONKA, spoken]
It’s my creation.​

[MR. SALT, spoken]
How does it make money?

[WILLY WONKA, spoken]
It doesn’t.​

[MRS. GLOOP, spoken]
It’s a little cupboard of treats for a midnight feast.​

[WILLY WONKA, spoken]
No, madam.​

[MR. BEAUREGARDE, spoken]
You use it for photo shoots.​

[WILLY WONKA, spoken]
Certainly not.​

[MRS. TEAVEE, spoken]
It’s therapy.​
[WILLY WONKA, spoken]
No.​

[MR. SALT, spoken]
Well if it isn’t for anything and it doesn’t make money then
why on earth does it need to exist at all?

[WILLY WONKA, spoken]
You really don’t see do you?
