The Oompa-Loompas sing about the children's misbehaviour each time disaster strikes. With only Charlie remaining, Wonka congratulates him for "winning" the factory.

Because of this, Wonka declares Charlie the winner. He reveals that Slugworth is really "Mr. Wilkinson", an employee of his, and the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality test which only Charlie passed.
