WONKA: But Charlie, don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted… he lived happily every after!
WONKA and CHARLIE share a mirthful laugh as the Great Glass Elevator slowly ascends. After everything the boy has been through, all is finally right in the world…
…until a GUNSHOT abruptly rings out! Wonka’s eyes bulge in pain and surprise. Trembling, he touches his ribs… and finds his hand wet with blood. With a final GASP, he slumps over, seemingly DEAD.
Shocked and dismayed, Charlie turns… and sees GRANDPA JOE holding a smoking pistol.
CHARLIE: Grandpa Joe… why?
JOE: I’m sorry, Charlie… but I’m taking that Everlasting Gobstopper. Think of how much it’ll fetch on the black market! And we need that money…

JOE: Come on, Charlie. Hand it over. If I don’t settle this debt, they could come after you next! Or your mother…

SUDDENLY, Wonka’s CANE lashes out, tripping Grandpa Joe. The gun flies from his grasp, skidding across the floor. In an instant, Wonka is on his feet, grappling with the old man.
JOE: How?!
WONKA: Strawberry filling, bitch!
JOE: Charlie! Save me!
WONKA: Don’t listen to him, Charlie! You heard what he said; he’s the cause of all your misfortune! Kill him, son, and leave the pain of your past behind once and for all!
JOE: No, please! I’m sorry, Charlie… for everything! You can trust me; I’m still your family!
Charlie, his loyalties torn, picks up the discarded weapon and, shaking with uncertainty, aims…
