@mannyamaya I've always wondered that, too. You'd think that would be awfully uncomfortable, especially for a guy! Poor Gene is all I can say (I've seen behind-the-scenes pictures, and the entire chair really was cut in half. It wasn't just the top part)!
@doctorfeeluckybutcantspelly. The word is Toupee. Notwithstanding your vague attempt at humour, he cant have had issues with a toupee as the "comb over" effect he displays, requires actual hair. I doubt that anyone would be dumb enough to have a toupee made to replicate the comb over, although I would'nt die of shock were it found to be true. The good folk at Google will spell words for you where spellcheck fails.....
@fitboyslob You are correct. That wasn't a toupee, but his actual hair...which, according to the "kids" (the actors that played Augustus, Veruca, Violet, Mike, and Charlie, who are all now adults, obviously) the hair and makeup lady referred to as "chicken" (she was German and didn't realize that the German word she was using translates to chicken in English).
@CrzyAsianGuy It's an everlasting gobstopper - Wonka gives the kids one each, as long as they promise not to sell it to his competitor Slugworth. He's testing the kids as Slugworth is actually one of Wonka's employees. Very clever. If that was today the kids would be selling them on eBay as soon as they left the factory...
I the undersigned shall forfeit all rights, priveleges, and licenses here and here contained etc etc, the torch of the mind is the path to glory, etc tec, I am mindful that this crime is punished twice.
Shakespeare (aka the Earl of Oxford) wrote, 'So shines a good deed in a NAUGHTY world.' so the writers here obviously thought theirs was an improvement, which it is, to modern ears, albeit that in Shakespeare's day, naughty had the meaning of 'evil, wicked, morally wrong'.
@rodriguez705 Well as as far as I can tell: "Fax mentis incendium gloriae culpum" means "The torch of the mind lights the path to glory." and "Memo bis punitor delicatum" doesn't mean anything. The closest Latin equivalent would be "Memor bis punitor delictum", which translates to "I am mindful that the crime is punished twice."
"So Shines a Good Deed in a Weary World"--it reminds me of selfless acts throughout history which show the "Better Angels of our nature" in humans! :) When i'm feeling Jaded and weary of this world, this line resonates in my weary mind and i feel hope for the world! :)
This is one of the many reasons why this version is better than the 2005 film. Gene Wilder says things like, "So shines a good deed in a weary world..." while Johnny Depp says things like, "Good morning starshine, the earth says hello!"
@MsTruthisoutthere yes, it's my favourite part too. I've just found out that it didn't originate in this film though - it's from the Shakespeare play The Merchant of Venice, Act 5, Scene I.
How is he sitting in half of a chair???

At 3:12 after Wonka calls Charlie back, I thought it was edited for him to say "YOU LOSE!" just like most of the videos of this on YouTube.
