Willy Wonka

December 11, 2008 0 Comments

This weekend I actually watched the 1971 version of “Willy Wonka” for the first time (yes, it’s true!) Below is a quote from my FAVORITE scene. I think it really illustrates how many people don’t really give dreams much attention or credit, until they have some kind of unusual experience with them. 

Enjoy! : )

Mr. Hoffstetter: I’m still having these dreams, Doctor. And I still can’t stop myself from believing them.
Psychiatrist: I’ve told you before, Mr. Hoffstetter: to believe in one’s dreams is a manifestation of insanity. And the sooner you accept this, the sooner you’ll get well.
Mr. Hoffstetter: But I dreamed the Archangel appeared and whispered into my ear, and told me where to find a Golden Wonka Ticket.
Psychiatrist: [looks up from his notes, interested] And what exactly did he say?
Mr. Hoffstetter: Well, what difference does that make? This was a dream, a fantasy! I mean, you said just now…
Psychiatrist: [furiously] Shut up, Hoffstetter, and tell me where the ticket is!
