"Why, I'd give him two hundred pounds for that ticket! You want to sell that ticket for two hundred pounds, young man?" (11.22)
Two hundred pounds for a chocolate bar? And a piece of golden paper? That's a little steep, if you ask us. But that's how bad this guy – a grown man – wants to visit the chocolate factory. What we love about this moment, though, is that Charlie isn't tempted by the money, even though his family sure could use it. Good for you, Charlie.
