Willy Wonka is a true American businessman. A child is about to die horribly and all he can think about is loss of product due to contamination.

Edit: Ok I looked it up since I wasn’t sure if Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is set in the US or UK. Apparently it’s inspired by factories in the UK but the actual setting in-universe is ambiguous in the original book, though both movies set it in (IIRC) London. Reading it as a kid I definitely imagined it taking place in the US though, not sure why but the story just “sounds” American, what with the copious consumption of sugar and the seemingly total lack of government oversight on businesses.
