Wonka made more candy bars and divided them up amongst the oompa loompas, Sam, Edward, and Jack. However, he didn't make many for himself.
"I had to reinforce the boat and ready it for our voyage across the sea. The salt water would just destroy it. So I had for layers of hard candy built up onto it and an extra hatch built for storage," Willy said, to whoever was listening.
"What's 'er name?" Jack asked, reclining against a tree with his legs crossed.
"who?" Willy asked, confused.
"your boat, what's 'er name?" Jack said raising his eyebrows.
"Oh! Well, I like to call her……..Delores," Willy said proudly.
Jack grinned and he and Sam exchanged glances. "Delores eh? That's very nice," Jack said, still grinning.
"yes!" Wonka said.
"Can we go now?" asked Edward, who was already standing by the boat.
Willy looked at Sam and Jack and said, "If it's okay with your friends,".
Jack and Sam lounged about on the beach and Edward looked at them. He looked so sad, so innocent, so ready to get off the island. Jack caught Edward's puppy dog gaze and sighed.
"Oh bugga, come on Sam let's go," he said climbing to his feet.
Sam hopped up and they followed Willy to the boat. All fifteen oompa loompas hopped into the boat and obediently waited for Mr. Wonka's orders. San and Jack slowly got into the boat and sat next to each other. Edward climbed in the back and carefully sat down as to not scratch anything with his scissors. Willy came and sat next to Edward, laying his cane next to him.
"ready Eddy?" Willy said to Edward.
Edward nodded happily and smiled.
"okay, let's go!" Willy called.
The boat gently pushed out into the water and the oompa loompas began rowing. The boat moved slowly, but then picked up speed as it caught the current and the oompa loompas rowed faster.
Jack looked quite comfortable, but Sam sat stock-still.
"What's the matter mate?" Jack asked.
"well, I uh, I don't like boats. They make me nervous, especially a fruity pink one named Delores, that's captained by a lunatic," Sam whispered hoarsely, crossing his arms.
Jack chuckled and patted Sam on the shoulder saying, "I hear you mate, I hear you,".
Willy was gazing intently at Edward's scissors. He looked quite fascinated with them and finally asked, "How did that happen to you?".
"I'm not finished," Edward said, flicking his scissors.
"oh boy, I know how that is. One time I was working on my popping scribbles and I left out a most important ingredient. The oompa loompas sent out a sample box to the London Ambassador and after he tried them, he went orange for a week, and smoke came out of him whenever he hiccupped," Willy said.
"hiccupped?" Edward said smiling.
"hiccupped," Willy said nodding.
The boat continued to flow through the ocean's waves. Sam had now wedged himself between the seat and the floor. He tapped his shoes on the floor and Jack hugged his last three bottles of rum to his chest.
"so Jack, what do you do?" Willy asked, startling Jack.
"What do I do? What do you mean?" Jack asked.
"well, I'm in the candy business and doing quite well I might add. What do you do?" Willy said.
"Well I uh, I'm a traveler, I help settle problems in the world. I steal form the rich and give to the poor, I just happen to be the poor," Jack said grinning.
"oh my, how exciting! Sam, what about you?" Willy said, turning to Sam.
"I work at a video store," Sam said flatly, closing his eyes.
"you know what I think we need? A little bit of music," Willy said. He pressed a button on the side of the boat and a large speaker slid out from behind the rowing oompa loompas. Sam opened his eyes, preparing for the worst. Surely enough, the worst came.
"When I'm not with you I loose my mind,
Give me a siiiiiiign,
Hit me baby one more time!"
Sam couldn't believe it. Willy was dancing in the back of the boat and smiling freakishly. Jack shook his head and Edward avoided eye contact with Willy. Sam covered his face with his hat, as Delores and it's passengers zoomed across the ocean, with Britney Spears playing in the background.
