Charlie: Mr. Wonka, I’d like to discuss a new idea.
Wonka (sighing): What is it now? I already approved the factory’s Facebook page and that blasted blog.
Charlie: I know, sir, change is rough.
Wonka (under his breath): If only I’d hired that blueberry kid.
Charlie: I’ve just discovered Cocoa Chai Chocolates, made by artisan chocolatier Ivy Chan. She uses whimsical ingredients like lychee tea, Thai curry, and fleur de sel to create truly exquisite truffles and hot cocoa. Sir, I’m telling you, these things are sublime.
Wonka: Hmph. Bet she has a ton of Oompa Loompas.
Charlie: Nope, she does it all herself. Plus she conducts private chocolate-making classes by appointment. So, um, we can steal her secrets.
Wonka: Gotta hand it to you, kid. Sounds like you’ve stumbled upon another golden ticket.
