Willy: See you downstairs. Geronimo!

Abacus: Ah, Mr. Wonka. Good of you to join us.

Willy: Not late, am I?

Abacus: Well, no. Cutting it a bit fine, but…

Willy: Has Tiddles been pulling his weight?

Abacus: As a matter of fact, Tiddles has been a very good boy, and productivity is up 30%.

Larry: We took the afternoon off.

Abacus: But that’s not the point.

Larry: This is the point.

Abacus: Not now, Larry.

Larry: Sorry.

Abacus: The point is: Where have you been?

Piper: And why do you smell of giraffe?

Willy: (I) Guess I owe you guys an explanation. The truth is I’m a chocolate maker.

Noodle: Not just any chocolate. The best in the world.

Willy: Ah, well, Noodle is flattering me, but she’s right. They’re exquisite.

Noodle: (The) Plan is to sell chocolate and pay off Mrs. Scrubitt. At least, that was the plan, until…

Abacus: Oh, let me guess. You had a little run-in with the chief of police?

Willy: How do you know that?

Abacus: Because I was Slugworth’s accountant for a week, at least. His regular bookkeeper was off sick. And I was called halfway across the country to take his place.

Abacus: Good evening, Mr. Slugworth. I just need your signature on…

Abacus: (It) Seemed a straightforward job. Until I realized there were two sets of books: one for the authorities, and one which told the truth. Slugworth, Fickelgruber, and Prodnose have been in cahoots for years. A sort of chocolate cartel, if you will. They’ve been watering down their chocolate and storing the excess in a secret vault deep beneath the cathedral, guarded round the clock by a corrupt cleric and 500 chocoholic monks. The only way in is down a secret elevator and past the Mistress of the Keys, a subterranean sentinel who hasn’t seen sunlight in years. There's thousands of gallons of chocolate down there, and the cartel use it to bribe, blackmail, and bludgeon the competition.

Slugworth: I do not care that they were school children. They were in our way. Next time, put your foot down.

Slugworth: Miss BonBon?

Miss BonBon: Good morning, Mr. Slugworth.

Slugworth: From now on, I’ll be keeping the ledger in the vault.

Miss BonBon: Very good, sir.

Slugworth: Oh, and Mr. Crunch?

Abacus: Yes?

Slugworth: You’re fired.

Abacus: Very good, sir.

Abacus: I’m sorry, Mr. Wonka, but they’ve got you right where they want you. You can’t get a shop without selling chocolate, and you can’t sell chocolate without a shop.
