Charlie And The Chocolate Factory 2005 Deleted Scenes

[Clidia Panahon]

Sheis a spoiled, ungrateful, thankless and entitled girl that wants everything she sees and nothing stops her from asking for things she wants, causing her leave from Willy Wonka's factory. She is the second Golden Ticket finder, following Augustus Gloop.

She wears a long-sleeved gray fur coat over a sparkling pastel pink knee-length dress with a button-up top and a pastel pink leather belt around her waist, black patent leather double strap dress shoes with black soles, white tights with pink polka-dots, and she has a pastel pink leather purse with a pastel pink leather strap hang over her left shoulder.

When receiving the Golden Ticket, she wears a long-sleeved navy-blue blazer over a white collared, button-up flannel top with a maroon necktie attached to the collar, beige tights, white ankle-length socks, and black patent leather casual shoes with black soles.

In another scene, she wears a white collared blouse with short, puffed sleeves, a maroon ribbon attached to the collar, a knee-high plaid jumper dress in cherry red, maroon, and festive red stripes with a maroon skirt, white tights, and black patent leather dress shoes with black soles.

Veruca is spoiled, demanding her mother and father for everything - even if she doesn't have to work for it - and having a fit when she doesn't get it. For example, because of her desire for a Golden Ticket, her father Mr. Salt forces all of his workers to unwrap an wicked amount of chocolate, with Veruca throwing a tantrum when the search takes too long. When one of the workers found the ticket, she attempted to hide it away for herself but Mr. Salt quickly took it away from her and gave it to Veruca, who, instead of saying thank you, immediately asks for another pony.

Her spoiled nature is showcased all throughout the tour; her desire to win the factory helps create a rivalry between Violet Beauregarde, and she repeatedly asks her father to buy something from Wonka's factory, including an Oompa-Loompa (in a deleted scene) and squirrel workers. This leads to her eventual downfall, as Wonka's refusal to sell her a squirrel caused her to bypass the gate and attempt to take one, leading her to be sent down the garbage chute. This shows that Veruca doesn't care about the safety of herself or others, nor does she care if she's violating the rules, as long as she gets what she wants.

Probably as a result of her spoiled nature, Veruca is also shown to have many other traits. She is shown to be cynical to others, which is showcased when she joyfully watches Violet swell up into a blueberry, as well as nasty and humorous, showcased when she recommends to Mrs. Beauregarde to place Violet in a county fair due to her blueberry status and enormous size. Veruca also asks Wonka whether Violet would be a blueberry forever, implying that she sees Violet's condition as her trophy. Despite this, she looks genuinely horrified when Augustus is sucked up the chocolate pipes. She can be quite friendly in some times when she does not get spoiled.

Her father is Rupert Salt and her mother is Angina Salt. Her father is in the nut business and is the founder of Salt's Nuts. She lives in a large mansion in Buckinghamshire, England where she enjoys an incredibly privileged and wealthy life.

In the factory, Veruca wants a squirrel and demands her father get one for her. Her father tries to say that she already has many marvelous pets, she lists every single one and she says defiantly that she wants a squirrel. When Wonka explains that they are not for sale, Veruca becomes angry and tells her father that she wants one. She then proceeds to go under the gate that guards the squirrels' workplace and tries to steal a squirrel from the Nut Room. At first, all of the squirrels look at her in bewilderment, however, when Veruca reaches for one, all of them start to leap at her and attack her, as well as clawing and holding her down. As she screams for her father, Mr. Salt becomes fearful when Wonka tells him that the garbage chute in the middle of the room leads to an incinerator, and Mr. Salt panics as Wonka tries to find the correct key for the gate.

Meanwhile, the squirrel that she tried to grab crawls onto her chest in front of her face and knocks onto her head, before announcing to all the squirrels that she is a "bad nut". The squirrels then proceed to drag Veruca to the garbage chute, with Veruca desperately trying to clasp to the floor, her nails scraping on the floor and leaving scratch marks. The squirrels then let go as Veruca, screaming, slides and gets sent down the garbage chute to her fate. The squirrels then go back to their work, as if nothing had happened.

At the end of the tour, Veruca is the third to leave the factory, with both her and her father being covered in garbage. The two were spared from being burned by the incinerator as Wonka had informed the last two families in the group that the incinerator was broken. When Veruca sees the Great Glass Elevator, she demands that her father buys one for her. However, since her father was reformed by the Oompa-Loompas, from whom he learned a valuable parenting lesson, he puts his foot down, refusing to cater to his daughter's whims. In addition, he firmly and sternly responds that she was going to be receiving nothing but a bath that day, so that's final. Not only did he stop giving her anything she wants, Mr. Salt realized that he and his wife had been constantly spoiling their daughter. Veruca then pouts, with her father giving her an angry glare for talking back.

Mr. Rupert Salt - Veruca's father who bends to her every wish, providing her with everything she wants. He faces the same fate as her, being kicked down the garbage chute by a squirrel. It is implied at the end that he will start setting up boundaries with her.

Mike Teavee - In the original script, Veruca got made fun of from Mike when she demanded a Oompa Loompa from her father which caused her to glare at him intensely and went on to cry later. Later, even in the final film, Veruca rudely shoves Mike when she was walking in the hallway that leads to the nut room. Though it's weird since when Veruca is viciously attacked by squirrels, Mike can be seen panicking at her demise implying that she was the only one that Mike ever cared about.

Augustus Gloop - They never say a word to each other but Augustus rudely pushes her out of his way after Veruca gets roasted by Wonka that Veruca (verruca) is a wart you get on the bottom of your foot. Veruca glares at him angrily.

Veruca Salt, the little brute

Has just gone down the garbage chute

And she will meet, as she descends

A rather different set of friends

A rather different set of friends

A rather different set of friends

A fish head, for example caught this morning from a halibut

An oyster from an oyster stew

A steak that no one else would chew

And lots of other things as well

Each with its rather horrid smell

Horrid smell

These are Veruca's new-found friends

That she will meet as she descends

These are Veruca's new-found friends

Who went and spoiled her, who indeed?

Who pandered to her every need?

Who turned her into such a brat?

Who are the culprits, who did that?

The guilty ones, now this is sad

Are dear old Mum and loving Dad

Veruca is depicted as an immature, over-indulged and manipulative young girl. She has very rich parents and lives in a mansion. Her affluent parents treat her like a princess and give her anything she wants, no matter how ridiculous the price. She is also shown to express no gratitude at all for what she is given. Each version implies that Veruca's parents have spoiled her and raised her in full luxury since the day she was born. When Veruca doesn't get what she wants immediately, she screams, shouts, kicks, stomps, jumps up and down, and takes extreme measures until she finally has her way. In other words, she has absolutely no regard, nor consideration for her family's countless emotional and financial needs. Also, she constantly bullies them without any remorse.

In the book, she is described as "the daughter of rich parents" and the "heiress to the Salt fortune." Her father is the CEO of a large legume conglomerate, while her mother is said to be a geography teacher. (Mrs. Teavee in the 1971 film and musical, Mr. Teavee in the 2005 film, Mrs. Beauregarde in the play); all four people ask about the existence of Loompaland). She is the 2nd Golden Ticket Finder.

Both the 1971 and 2005 films do not mention what her mother's job is, although it is implied her mother is a socialite or taking advantage of her wealth to aid others in need. In the 1971 film, Mrs. Salt is shown doing needlepoint, which was a pastime for many women at the time the film was in production. However, in the 2005 film, she is shown markedly more as a playgirl. She makes no remark to either Veruca's outbursts or how her husband obliges their daughter. Instead, she was found quietly sipping martinis.

Veruca's age is never explicitly given in the book nor the 1971 version, but in the 2005 version, Veruca is 9 years old (not mentioned in the movie but seen in the script). Similarly, her nationality is English in the films but is not stated in the book, again leading to creative leeway (see "theatrical adaptations" section below). The only mention of Veruca's residence in the book is that she and her parents lived "in a great city" far away from the Bucket residence.

Before the tour with her parents to Wonka's chocolate factory, Veruca's parents (especially her father in the films and theatrical adaptations) seem to view her as a sweet, innocent "precious little princess."

Charlie's view of Veruca in the films seems jaded in that the employees of the Salt Corporation did the work thus the lady who actually found the ticket deserves the tour, not Veruca (as well as shown to be a tad naiver in the novel). In the 2005 version, Charlie expresses his concerns, saying he didn't think it was really fair as Veruca didn't find the ticket herself. Grandpa Joe tells Charlie not to worry about, saying that Mr. Salt spoils her and no good ever comes from spoiling a child like that. However, after Veruca was ambushed and dirtied in the Nut Sorting Room by Wonka's squirrels (one of which she demanded her parents buy for her), her parents' opinions of her shift more toward reality, and they act in a manner that's far less lenient and stricter. They both learned their lesson about over-indulging children. Charlie is grateful for the rare occasions when his parents or grandparents can pamper him with small gifts because he realizes they do it out of their love for him. As such, Charlie believes that Mr. Salt must really love his daughter in suspending business to have all of his employee's shell wrappers on Wonka bars to get her a Golden Ticket. While that may actually be true in some respects (as shown by the thoughts of the grandparents on Charlie's birthday that they scrimped and saved for that present and no matter how small a chance, they hope Charlie finds a Golden Ticket), Grandpa Joe rightfully points out that Mr. and Mrs. Salt go too far and spoil their daughter.
