Veruca Demands a Golden Ticket, Explained：put a jerk in it
Veruca Salt wants a Golden Ticket and wants it immediately, so she bullies her father into bullying his staff. "I want it now!" she screams, calling the workers twerps. Her father keeps promising and apologizing, while the workers are pushed to keep hunting. It is a study of how a spoiled child runs a household.
あらすじ
Veruca demands a Golden Ticket from her father, complaining that she wanted to be the first to find one. When the workers still have not found it, she throws a tantrum, calls them names, and refuses to go to school until she has it. Her father scolds the staff and promises to keep hunting, and when a ticket finally turns up, she grabs it for herself.

What's really going on
The scene is a portrait of a child who has learned exactly how to run the adults around her. Veruca begins with a complaint phrased as an entitlement — she wanted to be first — and escalates to open tyranny: "I want it now! What's the matter with those twerps?" The workers are the ones who pay for her impatience, and her father, Mr. Salt, passes the pressure straight down, threatening to fire the whole staff if they do not find a ticket. Nobody in the room tells Veruca no. What matters is that the family is rich enough that money is never the obstacle; only the ticket is. Her parents talk about happiness and harmony while their daughter terrorizes the help, which is the joke and the warning of the scene.
Theme
ParenthoodMr. Salt cannot say no, so his daughter's demand turns into an order for the entire staff.
MoneyThe family can buy almost anything except patience; money only raises the intensity of the demand.

I wanted to be the first to find a Golden Ticket, Daddy.Veruca's complaint is really a claim of rank: being first is what she feels she is owed, and she frames it as a wish.
I want it now! What's the matter with those twerps?The title demand in full: she wants the ticket immediately and blames the workers for failing her, calling them twerps.
You promised I'd have it the very first day!She weaponizes her father's promise, turning his past assurance into a current debt he has failed to pay.
You're a rotten, mean father! You never give me anything I want!Her escalation to insult, delivered even though she is given almost everything, shows how little the facts matter to her.
It breaks my heart, Henrietta. I hate to see her unhappy.Mr. Salt's excuse to his wife: he cannot bear his daughter's unhappiness, which is why he keeps giving in.
Happiness is what counts with children. Happiness and harmony.The parents' closing sentence, a hollow creed about happiness and harmony said while their child tyrannizes everyone around them.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Veruca want the Golden Ticket so badly?
Because she wants to be first and cannot stand being denied anything. She treats the ticket as something she is owed rather than a prize to win.
What does "twerp" mean?
It is a mild insult for someone you think is foolish or annoying. Veruca calls the workers twerps, which shows how little respect she has for the people helping her.
Why does Mr. Salt push his workers so hard?
Because his daughter will not accept a delay. He orders the staff to keep hunting and threatens to fire them, passing his daughter's demand straight onto them.
How does Veruca finally get the ticket?
A worker finds one and brings it to Mr. Salt, and Veruca simply takes it and claims it as hers. She never thanks anyone for finding it.
Why won't Veruca go to school?
She uses it as leverage. She says she will not go to school until she has the ticket, turning her own education into another thing her parents must satisfy.
