Grandma Josephine Quotes in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Grandpa George: The kids who are 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.

[Cuts to Augustus Gloop holding up the winning ticket]

German Reporter: Augustus!

Augustus Gloop: [as cameras flash] I'm eating the Wonka bar and I taste something that is not chocolate. Or coconut, or walnut, or peanut butter, or nougat, or butter brittle, or caramel, or sprinkles. So I look and I find the golden ticket.

Grandpa Joe: I saw Willy Wonka with my own two eyes. I used to work for him, you know.

Charlie Bucket: You did?

Grandpa Joe: I did.

Grandma Josephine: He did.

Grandpa George: He did.

Grandma Georgina: I love grapes.

Grandma Josephine: [watching Violet Beauregarde on TV] What a beastly girl.

Grandma Georgina: Despicable.

Grandpa George: You don't know what we're talking about.

Grandma Georgina: [pause] Dragonflies?

Charlie Bucket: But it didn't close forever, it's open right now.

Mrs. Bucket: Ah, yes, well sometimes, when grown ups say "forever," they mean, "a very long time."

Grandpa George: Such as, I feel like I've eaten nothing but cabbage soup forever.

Mr. Bucket: Now pops...

Grandma Josephine: The factory did close, Charlie.

Grandpa Joe: And it seemed like it was going to be closed forever. Then, one day, we saw smoke rising from the chimneys. The factory was back in business!

Charlie Bucket: Did you get your job back?

Grandpa Joe: No. No one did.

Charlie Bucket: But there must be people working there.

Grandma Josephine: Think about it, Charlie. Have you ever seen a single person going into that factory? Or coming out of it?

Charlie Bucket: No. The gates are always closed.

Grandpa Joe: Exactly.

Charlie Bucket: But then, who's running the machines?

Mrs. Bucket: Nobody knows, Charlie.
