Violet Beauregarde Quotes in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Willy Wonka: [about Violet grabbing the gum] I'd rather you didn't. There's still one or two things that are a...

Violet Beauregarde: I'm the World Record holder in chewing gum. I'm not afraid of anything!

[pops the gum in her mouth]

Mrs. Beauregarde: How is it, honey?

Violet Beauregarde: It's amazing! Tomato soup, I can feel it running down my throat!

Willy Wonka: Yeah! Spit it out.

Grandpa Joe: Young lady, I think you'd better...

Violet Beauregarde: It's changing... roast beef and baked potato. Crispy skin and butter!

Mrs. Beauregarde: Keep chewin' kiddo! My little girl's gonna be the first person in the world to have a chewing gum meal!

Willy Wonka: Yeah. I'm just a little concerned about the...

Violet Beauregarde: Blueberry pie and ice cream!

Willy Wonka: That part.

Veruca Salt: [staring at Violet] What's happening to her nose?

[Violet keeps chewing and her nose starts turning purple]

Mr. Salt: You're turning blue!

Mrs. Beauregarde: Your whole nose has gone purple!

Violet Beauregarde: [touching her nose] W-What do you mean?

Mrs. Beauregarde: Violet, you're turning violet!

[to Wonka; concerned]

Mrs. Beauregarde: What's happening?

Willy Wonka: Well, I told you I hadn't quite got it right, 'cause it goes a little funny when it gets to the dessert. It's the Blueberry Pie that does it. I'm terribly sorry!

Violet Beauregarde: Mother, what's happening to me?

[continues to turn purple and starts to grow]

Grandpa Joe: She's swelling up!

Charlie Bucket: Like a blueberry!

Willy Wonka: [to Mrs. Beauregarde] I've tried it on, like, twenty Oompa-Loompas and each one ended up as a blueberry. It's just weird!

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

Veruca Salt: You could put her in a county fair!

[Wonka laughs]

Charlie Bucket: Mr. Wonka.

Willy Wonka: Huh?

Charlie Bucket: Why would Augustus' name already be in the Oompa Loompa song unless they...

Willy Wonka: [interrupts] Improvisation is parlor trick, anyone can do it.

[turns to Violet]

Willy Wonka: You, little girl. Say something. Anything.

Violet Beauregarde: Chewing gum.

Willy Wonka: Chewing gum is really gross, chewing gum I hate the most. See? Exactly the same.

Willy Wonka: You're all quite short, aren't you?

Violet Beauregarde: Well yeah, we're children.

Willy Wonka: Well that's no excuse. I was never as short as you.

Mike Teavee: You were once.

Willy Wonka: Was not. Know why? Because I distinctly remember putting a hat on top of my head. Look at your short little arms. You could never reach.

Violet Beauregarde: [after stretching into a pretzel shape] Look mother, I'm much more flexible now.

Mrs. Beauregarde: [disapprovingly] Yes, but you're blue.

Violet Beauregarde: [hugs Wonka] Mr. Wonka, I'm Violet Beauregarde.

Willy Wonka: [freaked out] Oh. I don't care.

Violet Beauregarde: Well, you should care. Because I'm the girl who's gonna win the special prize at the end.

Willy Wonka: Well, you do seem confident and confidence is key.

Violet Beauregarde: What's so funny?

Willy Wonka: I think it's from all those dog-gone cocoa beans. Hey, by the way, did you guys know that chocolate contains a property that triggers the release of endorphins? Gives one the feeling of being in love.

Mrs. Beauregarde: [flirtily] You don't say?

Veruca Salt: Let's be friends.

Violet Beauregarde: Best friends.

Charlie Bucket: [asking about Violet's gum] Why hold onto it? Why not start a new piece?

Violet Beauregarde: Because then I wouldn't be a champion. I'd be a loser. Like you.

Violet Beauregarde: Who are you?

Grandpa Joe: He's Willy Wonka!

Violet Beauregarde: Sounds like my kinda gum.

Charlie Bucket: Mr. Wonka? Why would Augustus' name already be in the Oompa-Loompa song, unless - ?

Willy Wonka: Improvisation is a parlor trick. Anyone can do it.

[Turns to look at Violet]

Willy Wonka: You, little girl. Say something. Anything.

Violet Beauregarde: Chewing gum.

Willy Wonka: Chewing gum is really gross. Chewing gum, I hate the most. See? Exactly the same.

Mike Teavee: No, it isn't.

Willy Wonka: [Pretends not to hear] Uh, you really shouldn't mumble. Because I can't hear a word you're saying. Now, on with the tour.

[Starts walking and everyone else follows]

Violet Beauregarde: Well, they can't be real people.

Willy Wonka: Why, of course they're real people.

Mr. Salt: Stuff and nonsense!

Willy Wonka: No, Oompa Loompas.

The Group: [turning around] Oompa Loompas?

Willy Wonka: From Loompaland.

Mrs. Teevee: Loompaland? There's no such place.

Willy Wonka: Excuse me, dear lady, but...

Mrs. Teevee: Mr. Wonka, I am a teacher of geography.

Willy Wonka: Oh, well, then you know all about it and what a terrible country it is. Nothing but desolate wastes and fierce beasts. And the poor little Oompa Loompas were so small and helpless, they would get gobbled up right and left. A Wangdoodle would eat ten of them for breakfast and think nothing of it. And so, I said, "Come and live with me in peace and safety, away from all the Wangdoodles, and Hornswogglers, and Snozzwangers, and rotten, Vermicious Knids."

Mr. Salt: Snozzwangers? Vermicious Knids? What kind of rubbish is that?

Willy Wonka: I'm sorry, but all questions *must* be submitted in writing. And so, in the greatest of secrecy, I transported the entire population of Oompa Loompas to my factory here.

Veruca Salt: Hey, Daddy, *I* want an Oompa Loompa! I want you to get me an Oompa Loompa right away!

Mr. Salt: All right, Veruca, all right. I'll get you one before the day is out.

Veruca Salt: [whining] I want an Oompa Loompa now!

Violet Beauregarde: Can it, you nit!

Mrs. Teevee: [as the Wonkatania starts to move] I think I'm going to be seasick!

Willy Wonka: [handing something to Mrs. Teevee] Here, take these.

Mrs. Teevee: What are they?

Willy Wonka: Rainbow drops. Suck them and you can spit in seven different colors!

Violet Beauregarde: [as she digs around in her nostril] Spitting's a dirty habit.

Willy Wonka: I know a worse one.

Willy Wonka: Don't you know what this is?

Violet Beauregarde: By gum, it's gum.

Willy Wonka: [happily, but sarcastically] Wrong! It's the most amazing, fabulous, sensational gum in the whole world.

Violet Beauregarde: What's so fab about it?

Willy Wonka: This little piece of gum is a three-course dinner.

Mr. Salt: Bull.

Willy Wonka: No, roast beef. But I haven't got it quite right yet.

Violet Beauregarde: What is this, a freak out?

Veruca Salt: [after Willy gives an Everlasting Gobstopper to each of the kids] Hey, she's got two! I want another one!

Violet Beauregarde: [showing her Gobstopper to Veruca] Stop squawking, you twit!

Willy Wonka: [making it clear he's not going to stand for the girls' bickering] Everybody has had ONE, and ONE is enough for anybody. Now come along.

Mr. Beauregarde: Violet, what are you doing now? You're blowing up!

Violet Beauregarde: I feel funny!

Grandpa Joe: I'm not surprised.

Violet Beauregarde: Well, I'm a gum chewer, normally. But when I heard about these ticket things of Wonka's, I laid off the gum and switched to candy bars, instead. Now, of course, I'm right back on gum. I chew it all day, except at mealtimes when I stick it behind my ear.

Mrs. Beauregarde: Violet...

Violet Beauregarde: Cool it, Mother!

[showing her gum to the audience]

Violet Beauregarde: Now, this little piece of gum here is one I've been chewing on for three months solid, and that's a world record. It's beaten the record held by my best friend, Miss Cornelia Prince Medal. And, WAS she mad.

[puts the gum back in her mouth and continues chewing, then waves]

Violet Beauregarde: Hi, Cornelia. How are ya, sweetie?
