What's really going on
The golden geese are the film's cleanest picture of greed, and Veruca wants the source, not the eggs. Her father reaches for money - "They're not for sale." - and the joke is that price means nothing here: the geese cannot be bought because owning them would be owning the magic itself. Veruca cannot hear a no, so she climbs into a song demanding the whole world, and the machine built to grade eggs grades her instead. Wonka delivers the verdict almost gently: "She was a bad egg." Then she goes down the garbage chute, and he adds that the furnace is lit only every other day, so the victims have "a good sporting chance" - a line that keeps the tone light while the film quietly removes another child. The scene's moral is neat to the point of cruelty: wanting everything gets you sorted with the trash.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Veruca want a golden goose?
Because she sees one and decides she must own it, as she does with everything. She does not want a toy goose from home; she wants the real one in the factory.
What does "bad egg" mean?
It is an old term for a dishonest or disreputable person. Here it is also literal, because Veruca is sorted by the Eggdicator and dropped down the chute.
Why won't Wonka sell the golden goose?
Because the geese are not merchandise. Mr. Salt offers any price, but Wonka refuses; the geese are the source of the golden eggs and cannot be bought.
What is the Eggdicator?
It is the machine that sorts eggs. Wonka says it can tell a good egg from a bad egg: good ones are shined and shipped, and bad ones go down the chute.
What happens to Veruca at the end of the scene?
She is judged a bad egg and drops down the garbage chute, followed by her father. The Oompa Loompas sing about her, and Wonka jokes about the furnace.
