Have You Ever Read This?

(Kids run from school to the Candy Shop.)



1. BILL'S CANDY SHOP



(Kids enter, yelling.)



KIDS: (yelling) Sizzler! I want a Sizzler!



BILL: All right, all right, all right, what's it going to

be? A triple cream cup for Christopher . . .



KIDS: (yelling) A Squelchy Snorter!



BILL: A Squelchy Snorter for Otis . . .



ONE KID: I want a Squelchy Snorter . . .



BILL: A Sizzler for June Marie . . .



ANOTHER KID: C'mon, give me a Sizzler . . .



BILL: And listen! Wonka's got a new one today.



KIDS: What is it?



BILL: This is called a Scrumdidilyumptious Bar.



WINKELMANN: (mispronouncing) Scrumbibilyunctious Bar? How

does he do it?



BILL: My dear boy, do you ask a fish how it swims?



WINKELMANN: No . . .



BILL: Or a bird how it flies?



WINKELMANN: No . . .



BILL: No sirree, you don't! They do it because they were

born to do it. Just like Willy Wonka was born to be a candy

man, you look like you were born to be a Wonkarer.

COVER IT IN CHOCOLATE AND A MIRACLE OR TWO

THE CANDY MAN

THE CANDY MAN CAN

THE CANDY MAN CAN 'CAUSE HE MIXES IT WITH LOVE

BILL:

THE CANDY MAN

THE CANDY MAN CAN

THE CANDY MAN CAN 'CAUSE HE MIXES IT WITH LOVE

AND MAKES THE WORLD TASTE GOOD



KIDS: Me! Me!

EVERYTHING HE BAKES

SATISFYING AND DELICIOUS

SEPARATE THE SORROW AND COLLECT UP ALL THE CREAM

THE CANDY MAN



KIDS:

WILLY WONKA CAN



BILL:

THE CANDY MAN CAN



THE CANDY MAN CAN 'CAUSE HE MIXES IT WITH LOVE

AND MAKES THE WORLD TASTE GOOD

AND THE WORLD TASTES GOOD

'CAUSE THE CANDY MAN THINKS IT SHOULD . . .



2. ON THE STREET



(Charlie has been watching through the window. He

walks away, toward Mr. Jopeck's newsstand.)



CHARLIE: Hi, Mr. Jopeck.



JOPECK: Ah, come along, Charlie; you're late.



CHARLIE: It's payday, Mr. Jopeck.



JOPECK: You're right. (He pays Charlie.) There you are.



CHARLIE: Thanks.



JOPECK: Say hello to your Grandpa Joe.



CHARLIE: Okay.



(Charlie delivers the papers.)



3. WONKA'S FACTORY GATES



(Charlie stands outside the gates looking at the

factory.)



TINKER:

Up the airy mountain

Down the rushing glen

We dare not go a-hunting

For fear of little men.



You see: Nobody ever goes in, . . . and nobody ever

comes out!



4. BUCKETS' HOUSE



GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: Charlie's late.



GRANDPA JOE: He works too hard for a little boy. He should

have some time to play.



MRS. BUCKET: Not enough hours in the day. With the four of

you bedridden for the past twenty years, it takes a lot of

work to keep this family going.



GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: If only his father were alive.



GRANDPA JOE: Soon as I get my strength back, I'm gonna get

out of this bed and help him.



MRS. BUCKET: Dad, in all the years you've been saying you're

going to get out of that bed, I've yet to see you set foot

on the floor.



GRANDPA JOE: Well . . . maybe if the floor wasn't so cold.



(Charlie enters.)



CHARLIE: Hi, everybody!



GRANDPA JOE: Wake up!



GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: Wake up!



GRANDPA JOE: Wake up; Charlie's home!



CHARLIE: Grandpa George. (He kisses him.) Grandma

Georgina. (Kisses her.) Grandma Josephine. (Kisses her.)

Grandpa Joe. (Kisses him. Looks at Joe's bowl of cabbage

water.) Is this your supper, Grandpa?



GRANDPA JOE: Well, it's yours too, Charlie.



CHARLIE: I'm fed up with cabbage water. It's not enough!



GRANDMA GEORGINA: Charlie!



GRANDMA JOSEPHINE: It's all we have.



GRANDPA JOE: What are you saying?



CHARLIE: How about this? (Produces a loaf of bread.)



MRS. BUCKET: Charlie, where'd you get that?



GRANDPA JOE: What difference does it make where he got it?

Point is: he got it.



CHARLIE: It's my first payday.



MRS. BUCKET: Good for you, Charlie. We'll have a real

banquet.



CHARLIE: Mom . . .? Here's what's left. You keep it.

Except for this. From now on, I'm going to pay for your

tobacco.



GRANDPA JOE: No one's going to pay for it, Charlie. I'm

giving it up.



MRS. BUCKET: Come on, Dad, it's only one pipe a day.



GRANDPA JOE: When a loaf of bread looks like a banquet, I've

no right buying tobacco.



CHARLIE: Go on, Grandpa. Please take it.



5. BUCKET'S HOUSE - LATER THAT NIGHT



CHARLIE: After I finished my paper route, I was in front of Have You Ever Read This?
I never have*Have You Ever Read This?
Even though reading is an adventure that never ends, I have never read this; this is the first time I am reading.........Thanks for the information.

I read it just now.But I've seen the film before.
