Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Thinking that the group are aliens from Mars and Venus (Wonka mentioned these planet names among his nonsense words) who might pose a threat to humanity, the President diplomatically invites them to the White House. Charlie and Grandpa Joe excitedly dance around the hotel, delighted to receive a personal invitation to the White House. However, the group then realizes that the President will quickly see that they’re not aliens. Wonka delivers another speech of nonsense intending to convey that they are otherwise engaged. At the White House, the President worries that Wonka’s speech is a threat.
In the space hotel, a greenish-brown thing with large eyes appears in the nearby elevator; Grandma Josephine screams in fright.
The thing pulsates slightly, is wet and slimy, and about the size of a large boy, but much rounder. Four more elevators open, revealing similar creatures. Suddenly, one of the creatures morphs into a long curvy serpent. The subsequent creatures start to change shape as well, until the five monsters, displayed in a row, spell the word “SCRAM.” Terrified, the group rushes back to the glass elevator.
