WARBUCKS: Grace, forget about the dictation for tonight. And then an ice-cream soda at Rumpelmayer's and a hansom cab ride around Central Park. (Has an idea) Would you like to go to a movie?ĪNNIE: (Checking GRACE to see if this would be all right GRACE nods "yes") Gosh, Mr. (To ANNIE) Well, Annie, I guess we ought to do something special on your first night. GRACE: (Aside to WARBUCKS) It is her first night here, sir. Grace, we'll start with the figures on the iron-ore shipments from… Toledo to… (Made uncomfortable by the presence of ANNIE, aside to GRACE) What are we supposed to do with this child?
WARBUCKS: (Obviously not meaning it) Not at all. (Frowningly approaching ANNIE, assessing her) Annie, huh? Annie what?ĪNNIE: (Nervously) Oh, I'm just Annie, Mr. WARBUCKS: Well, I suppose she'll have to do. GRACE: I'm sorry, sir, you just said "orphan". Warbucks: the orphan who will be with us for Christmas. WARBUCKS: And, Grace, if you'll get your notebook… Who is that?

TESSIE: (Starting to cry) But it's four o'clock in the morning. (Switches on the LIGHT in the dormitory, sticks her head through the door and BLOWS her whistle) Get up! Now, for this one's shenanigans, you'll all get down on your knobby little knees and clean this dump until it shines like the top of the Chrysler Building! MISS HANNIGAN: That was 1922 this is 1933. My mother and father left a note saying they loved me and they were coming back for me. (ANNIE turns around and MISS HANNIGAN hits her on the backside with a paddle) There! Now, what do you say? What… do… you… say?ĪNNIE: (Reluctantly through her teeth) I love you, Miss Hannigan.ĪNNIE: (Angrily) I'm not an orphan. Get up!ĪNNIE: (Getting up, warily) Yes, Miss Hannigan. MISS HANNIGAN: Aha!
