Violet Beauregarde: Well they can't be real people. Willy Wonka: Well of course they're real people. Mr. Salt: Stuff and nonsense. Willy Wonka: No, Oompa Loompas. The Group: Oompa Loompas? Willy Wonka: From Loompaland. Mrs. Teevee: Loompaland? There's no such place. Willy Wonka: Excuse me, dear lady... Mrs. Teevee: Mr. Wonka, I am a teacher of geography. Willy Wonka: Oh, well then you know all about it and what a terrible country it is. Nothing but desolate wastes and fierce beasts. And the poor little Oompa Loompas were so small and helpless, they would get gobbled up right and left. A Wangdoodle would eat ten of them for breakfast and think nothing of it. And so, I said, "Come and live with me in peace and safety, away from all the Wangdoodles and Hornswogglers and Snozzwangers and rotten Vermicious Knids." Mr. Salt: Snozzwangers? Vermicious Knids? What kind of rubbish is that? Willy Wonka: I'm sorry, but all questions must be submitted in writing. And so, in the greatest of secrecy I transported the entire population of Oompa Loompas to my factory here.

"Could you put me up for the night?" - Brandon Lee as Eric Draven in The Crow
"TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story." - Edgar Allan Poe - The Tell-Tale Heart

Taken from The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe
The bells! — hear the bells! The merry wedding bells! The little silver bells! How fairy-like a melody there swells From the silver tinkling cells Of the bells, bells, bells! Of the bells!
