Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Mike Teavee Quotes

Mike Teavee

Quote 1

"I want to watch television! I want to watch television! I want to watch television!" (27.56)

Mike is relentless. You'd think after being shrunk by Mr. Wonka's television, he'd be a little turned off by the whole idea, but no. He still wants nothing more than to watch TV.

"But what does a snozzberry taste like?"
"You're mumbling again," said Mr. Wonka. "Speak louder next time. On we go! Hurry up!" (22.19)

Often, Mr. Wonka seems to be barely listening. Is this a sign of madness, or does he just have more important things on his mind?

"Could you send a real live person from one place to another in the same way?
"A person!" cried Mr. Wonka. "Are you off your rocker?" (27.5-6)

This time it's Mr. Wonka who's accusing someone else of insanity. In this case, it's Mike Teavee, who is definitely crazy – about television.
