51
You mean, Prince Pondicherry?

52
Well, Prince Pondicherry
wrote a letter to Mr. Wonka...

53
...and asked him to come
all the way out to lndia...

54
...and build him a colossal palace
entirely out of chocolate.

55
lt will have 1 00 rooms, and everything will
be made of either dark or light chocolate.

56
True to his word,
the bricks were chocolate...

57
...and the cement holding
them together was chocolate.

58
All the walls and ceilings
were made of chocolate as well.

59
So were the carpets
and the pictures and the furniture.

60
lt is perfect in every way.

61
Yeah, but it won't last long.
You better start eating right now.

62
Oh, nonsense. l will not eat my palace.

63
l intend to live in it.

64
But Mr. Wonka was right, of course.

65
Soon after this, there came
a very hot day with a boiling sun.

66
The prince sent an urgent telegram
requesting a new palace...

67
...but Willy Wonka was facing
problems of his own.

68
All the other chocolate makers, you see,
had grown jealous of Mr. Wonka.

69
They began sending in spies
to steal his secret recipes.

70
Fickelgruber started making
an ice cream that would never melt.

71
Prodnose came out with a chewing gum
that never lost its flavor.

72
Then Slugworth
began making candy balloons...

73
...that you could blow up
to incredible sizes.

74
The thievery got so bad...

75
...that one day, without warning...

76
...Mr. Wonka told every single one
of his workers to go home.

77
He announced that he was closing
his chocolate factory forever.

78
I'm closing my chocolate factory forever.

79
I'm sorry.

80
But it didn't close forever.
lt's open right now.

81
Yes, well, sometimes when grownups say
''forever,'' they mean ''a very long time.''

82
Such as, ''l feel like I've eaten
nothing but cabbage soup forever.''

83
-Now, Pops.
-The factory did close, Charlie.

84
And it seemed like it was
going to be closed forever.

85
Then one day we saw smoke
rising from the chimneys.

86
-The factory was back in business.
-Did you get your job back?

87
No.

88
No one did.

89
But there must be people working there.

90
Think about it, Charlie.
Have you ever seen a single person...

91
...going into that factory
or coming out of it?

92
No. The gates are always closed.

93
Exactly.

94
But then, who's running the machines?

95
-Nobody knows, Charlie.
-lt certainly is a mystery.

96
Hasn't someone asked Mr. Wonka?

97
Nobody sees him anymore.
He never comes out.

98
The only thing that comes
out of that place is the candy...

99
...already packed and addressed.

100
I'd give anything in the world
just to go in one more time...
