However, Charlie notices Wonka’s eyes twinkling. Wonka suggests they might like getting out of bed, but they are uninterested. He then addresses the old ones and says they ought to get up now and help in the Factory. Wonka laughs and asks for help with getting the bed out of the Elevator. The drums start up, and the creatures begin to sing of being worried that Wonka would not return home. Hundreds of tiny Oompa-Loompas greet them happily. There, everything is eatable-the river, the trees, the grass, and more. The Elevator doors open onto the Chocolate Factory itself.

However, when the light comes on, the old ones are in bed and the rest are standing as if nothing happened. There is a tremendous crunching, crashing, and splintering sound as the Elevator lands. The Elevator detaches the Commuter Capsule and plunges down to the Factory.Ĭhapter 12: Back to the Chocolate Factory Wonka laughs that parachutes are for astronauts and sissies: they want to speed up. Grandma Georgina wonders if they will hit, and Charlie states that he is sure there are parachutes. Bucket, who rarely speaks, says she does not know what is going on but she does not like it. All of the Knids that are close in the chain begin to sizzle and become Shooting Knids. The Knid tries frantically to disengage but cannot. They are going so fast that sparks fly off the sides. The Elevator plunges down at record speed, and the Commuter Capsule trails behind it.

When Josephine wails that she wants to go home, Wonka suddenly knows what to do: he orders Charlie to press the REENTRY button. The old ones yell at Wonka and he admits he is at a loss. Grandma Josephine gasps that they are being taken away to the planet Vermes. Now the Knids move themselves into hooks and stretch out farther and farther, trying to link up with the one tied up around the Elevator. It begins to tie the Elevator up like a parcel.Ĭharlie glances at the Capsule, where the people inside are white with terror. Charlie sees the cloud changing shape into a long serpent. Both Grandmas scream out that they see a large cloud of Knid that is flying level with the Elevator. The Elevator is tossed around precariously, but it manages to tow the Capsule away.Ĭharlie waves and gives a thumbs-up to the astronauts, who are completely flabbergasted. The Knids see this and start attacking the Elevator again. Wonka asks Grandpa Joe to lower down the steel rope.
