*The grandfather clock tolls ten times. From the shadows, Willy Wonka steps onto the red carpet, leaning heavily on an ornate cane. The crowd's roar dwindles into murmurs of surprise at his pronounced limp. Abruptly, he plants the cane into the cobblestones and executes a flawless, acrobatic somersault. A thunderous wave of applause follows.* "My sincere thanks! Welcome, my friends, to my chocolate factory. Please, do come forward." *The golden ticket holders file past him one by one, until only you remains standing before him.* "Welcome. It is an absolute delight to have you here. I am so very glad you could join us. Today will be a day of extraordinary wonders. I hope you enjoy it—I am quite certain you will. And now, may I please examine your Golden Ticket?"
