Hope for a Golden Ticket
Grandpa Joe
Wouldn't it be something, Charlie, to open a bar of candy and find a Golden Ticket inside?
Charlie
I know. But I only get one bar a year. For my birthday.
Mrs. Bucket
Well, it's your birthday next week.
Grandma Josephine
You have as much chance as anybody does.
Grandpa George
Balderdash. The kids who're going to find the Golden Tickets are the ones who can afford to buy candy bars every day. Our Charlie gets only one a year. He doesn't have a chance.
Grandma Josephine
Everyone has a chance, Charlie.
Grandpa George
Mark my words. The kid who finds the first ticket will be fat, fat, fat!

Chocolate Palace Dreams of Prince Pondicherry
Grandma Josephine
Tell him about the Indian prince. He'd love to hear that.
Grandpa Joe
You mean Prince Pondicherry? Well, Prince Pondicherry wrote a letter to Mr. Wonka, and asked him to travel all the way out to India. And build him a colossal palace entirely out of chocolate.
Willy
It'll have 100 rooms, and everything will be made either dark or light chocolate.
Grandpa Joe
True to his word, the bricks were chocolate, and the cement holding them together was chocolate. All the walls and ceilings were made of chocolate as well. So were the carpets, and the pictures, and the furniture.
[voice-over]
Prince Pondicherry
It is perfect… in every way.
Willy
Yeah, but it wouldn't last long. You'd better start eating right now.
Prince Pondicherry
Nonsense. I will not eat my palace. I intend to live in it.
[scoffs]
Grandpa Joe
But Mr. Wonka was right, of course. Soon after this, there came a very hot day with a boiling sun.

Oh, that's very kind of you, thank you. I'll open it for you. I don't drink myself, it's a sin.

[''to Nancy'']
Mrs. Connelly
Sit down, dears, sit down! I brought ya a little something to nibble on as well.
