Grandpa Joe: No, sir.
Willy Wonka: Then wonderful, welcome back.

Willy Wonka: Good morning starshine...the earth says hello!

Mrs. Gloop: Zen he vil be made into strawberry flavoured chocolate coated fudge, to be sold by the pound, all over the world?

Willy Wonka: I don't care.

Willy Wonka: I've tried it on, like, 20 Oompa Loompas and each one ended up as a blueberry. It's just weird!

Charlie Bucket: Willy Wonka.
Willy Wonka: Right, him. Did you ever meet him?

Veruca Salt: Daddy!
Willy Wonka: [impersonating Mr. Salt.] I'm sorry, darling, Mr. Wonka's being unreasonable.

Mr. Teevee: So can you send other things? Say, like, breakfast cereal?
Willy Wonka: Do you have any idea what breakfast cereal's made of? It's those little curly wooden shavings you find in pencil sharpeners.
Charlie: But could you send it by TV if you wanted to?
Willy Wonka: Of course you could.
Mike Teevee: What about people?
Willy Wonka: Well, why would I wanna send a person? They don't taste very good at all.

Mrs. Beauregarde: I can't have a blueberry as a daughter. How is she supposed to compete?

Mr. Teavee: There's no such place.

Willy Wonka: Well, then, you'll know all about it and oh, what a terrible country it is.

Mike Teavee: You don't understand anything about science. First off, there's a difference between waves and particles... DUH! Second, the amount of power it would take to convert energy into matter would be like nine atomic bombs.

Charlie: So... If I go with you, to live in your factory, I'll never see my family again?

Mrs. Gloop: Augustus, don't eat yourself.
Augustus: But I taste so good!

Willy Wonka: I can't see why that would possibly make any difference.

Veruca Salt: Daddy, I want to go in.
Mr Salt: It's 9:59, sweetheart.
Veruca Salt: Make time go faster.

Other mistake: In the beginning of the song about Augustus Gloop, computer generated Oompa Loompas can be seen running through the Chocolate Room, preparing to sing their song. In the DVD release, some Oompa Loompas can be seen running to places that no real person could possibly stand on. This mistake was later corrected in the Blu-Ray release.

Trivia: The squirrels were all real and trained, but when they were all put on the set they began to fight. The squirrel scenes had to be done like the Oompa Loompa scenes, taping all the squirrels separately and pasting them together.
