-->'''Gene Wilder:''' When I make my first entrance, I'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp. After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I'm walking on and stands straight up, by itself; but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause./

* Of the adult stars, Gene Wilder and Roy Kinnear had such tremendous comedic chemistry that they would attempt to play off of each other as much as possible. One of their adlibbed lines involves Kinnear asking if he's sure the Wonkatania will float, to which Wilder gently pats Kinnear's chubby stomach with his cane and says, "With your buoyancy sir, rest assured".
