• Willy Wonka : After seven years of line upon the ocean. It is time to bid the seven seas farewell. And the city I've pinned seven years of hopes on. Lies just over the horizon, I can hear the harbour bell. Land ahoy!. Got a tattered overcoat and battered suitcase. Got a pair of leaky boots upon my feet. Gotta drag myself up by my one good bootlace. Gotta work my rotten socks off if I want to make ends meet. I've poured everything I've got into my chocolate. Now, it's time to show the world my recipes. I've got twelve silver sovereigns in my pocket. And a hatful of dreams

• Willy Wonka : In this city, anyone can be successful. If they've talent and work hard, or so they say. But they didn't mention it would be so stressful. Just to make a dozen silver sovereigns last more than a day

  [Hears the voice of a crying baby. Turns and looks back to see the young mother, holding her baby in her lap] 

  Young Mother : Could you spare a sovereign for a place to sleep, love?

  Willy Wonka : Of course! Here, take all you need.

  [Opens his hand to offer his remaining money] 

  Young Mother : Thank you!

  [Gratefully takes some money and walks away] 

  Willy Wonka : I've got one silver sovereign in my pocket.

  [Playfully throws his last sovereign up into the air, opening his pocket to catch it. The money misses his pocket, and falls into the drain. Willy sighs, but then smiles hopefully as he walks] 

  Willy Wonka : And a hatful of dreams...

• Willy Wonka : Lost your hair, can't think where?

  Willy Wonka : It's made from ground vanilla. From the markets of Manila. Take heed eat more than three. And you'll end up like a gorilla!

  [Customers' hair starts quickly growing after they eat the sweets] 

• Willy Wonka : [singing]  If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it! Anything you want you do it! Wanna change the world? There's nothing to it!

• Noodle : The greedy beat the needy, Willy. It's just the way of the world.

  Willy Wonka : You're right, Noodle. I guess that's why there's one other thing to do.

  Noodle : What's that?

  Willy Wonka : Change the world.

• Willy Wonka : Greed always overcomes need.

• Noodle : [asking about flamingos at the zoo]  Why don't they fly away?

  Willy Wonka : I don't know. Perhaps they haven't thought of it.

  Noodle : You're kidding?

  Willy Wonka : No, I'm serious. That's the thing about flamingos. They need someone to show 'em the way.

• Willy Wonka : Ladies and gentlemen, greetings to you all, and welcome to Wonka's. Tremendous things are in store, both literally and metaphorically.

• Willy Wonka : You've got about 20 minutes before it exits through your rear.
