Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The top half of the door to the room of square candies that look round is made of glass. Inside, Charlie can see a long table with white square candies on it. They all have little faces on them, and Oompa-Loompas sit at one end painting the faces. Mike Teavee says that the candies don’t look round, and Veruca agrees that they’re square. Mr. Wonka insists he never said they were round; they only look round. Mrs. Salt tells Veruca that Mr. Wonka is lying, and Mr. Wonka tells the woman to go “boil [her] head.” Then, he tells the group to watch. He flings open the door and all the little candies “look round” to see who came in. Grandpa Joe remarks that Mr. Wonka is right: they’re square candies that look round.

Mr. Wonka heads down the corridor past a room labeled with Butterscotch and Buttergin. Mr. Wonka says these things make the Oompa-Loompas “tiddly.” The group can hear laughter and singing from within. Mr. Wonka says that the Oompa Loompas enjoy butterscotch and soda, as well as buttergin and tonic. Mr. Salt expresses his approval. Then, he leads the group to a staircase and slides down the banister. Charlie, Veruca, and Mike are right behind him. The adults—particularly Mrs. Salt, who’s very fat—struggle to keep up.
