[Announcer on radio] Once again,
we bring you the romance of Helen Trent,
who sets out to prove that just because a woman is 35,
romance in life may not be over.
That romance can live at 35 and after.
- Oh merciful God, I hope so.
(knock on door)
Yeah!
- Good afternoon, Miss Hannigan, is it?
- Uh, yeah.
- Officer Ward, 17th precinct.
We found your run away.
(children screaming) - Annie!

Children, children, guess what?
[All] What?
- There's hot cocoa and ginger snaps in the recreation room.
- What recreation room? - Shoo shoo shoo.
(blows whistle) Get out of here.
Thank you so much, Officer.
We found her in one of them
Hooverville's down by the docks.
She had a mangy mutt with her, but he got away.
- Oh, you poor pumpkin out there
in the cold with just a thin sweater.
I hope you didn't catch influenza.
Thank you so much, Officer.
- It's all in the line of duty.
And you! Don't let me hear that
you ran away again from this nice lady.
- She's not... ughh!
- Good afternoon, Miss.
- Good afternoon.
(audience laughs)
I'm going to have your head for this.
The next time you step foot
out of that door, it'll be 1953.
Well, are you glad to be back? - Yes, Ms. Hannigan.
- Liar.
What's the one thing I always taught you never tell a lie.
Well, what's the one thing I always taught you?
- Never tell a lie, Miss Hannigan.
- Oh, I'm gonna snatch your face off!

Stay.
You better.
(audience laughs)
- Good afternoon, Miss Hannigan?
(audience cheering)
- Yeah.
- Oh, good. I'm Grace Farrell.
- So?
- And the New York City Board of Orphans suggested...
- I can explain.
You see, that wasn't my fault.
It was Annie here yet.
She got into Bundles' laundry basket and...
- Miss Hannigan, I... - Oh, I know.
I should have called
Mr. Donatelli instead of the cops.
- Miss Hannigan, I'm sorry but I haven't the slightest
idea what you're talking about.
- Oh, no?
Oh, I get it.
Yeah, I get it, sister.
Well, if it's beauty products, you're pedaling,
I don't need them. Get out.
- Miss Hannigan I am not pedaling anything.
I am Chief of Staff to Oliver Warbucks.
- Oliver Warbucks?
The Oliver.
- The Oliver Warbucks.
- Nice hat! Why didn't you say that in the first place,
have a seat.
You know,
I read in the Winchell column that Oliver Warbucks is
the world's richest unmarried man.
- I wouldn't know, I don't read Winchell.
Miss Hannigan, Mr. Warbucks
has decided to invite an orphan to spend
the Christmas holidays at his home.
- An orphan?
- Yes, an orphan.
- Well, are you sure it isn't a lady he'd rather have?
I've got two weeks coming.
It's a joke.
Well, what kind of orphan did you have in mind?
- Well, she should be friendly
and intelligent.
Mississippi, capital M-i, double s-i, double p-i
- zip it! - Mississippi
- and cheerful.
(fake laughing)
- You, shut up!
How old?
- Oh, age doesn't really matter.
Say eight or nine. Ten? Eleven?
Yes, eleven would be perfect. And oh, I almost forgot,
Mr. Warbucks prefers curly haired children.
- Okay, curly hair. Eleven, I'm sorry
We don't have any orphans like that around here.
- What about this child right here?
- Annie? You don't want her. She's a drunk and a liar.
A drunk and a liar, She's wreaking right now.
- Yes, I'm sure she's a drunk and a liar.
Annie, come here.
Annie, would you like to spend the next two weeks at
Mr. Warbucks' house?
- I would love to, I would really love to.
- Hold it! Hold it! (blows whistle)
Get in here! (blows whistle)
You can have any orphan in the orphanage
but you can't have Annie.
- Why? - I just told you.
I assume, Miss Hannigan,
that it has something to do with all that
business about the laundry bag and the police?
Perhaps I should call
Mr. Donatelli at the Board of Orphans.
- Oh, oh, oh you're so pretty.
- Thank you.
If it's Annie you want, it's Annie you get.
- It's Annie I want. - It's Annie you get.
- Oh boy! [children] Yeah!
- If you'll get her coat, I'll take her along right now.
- Coat?
She ain't got no coat.
- All right, then we'll buy her one.
[children] Wow.
- We'll go to Bergdorf's and get you a warm winter coat.
Come along, dear.
Mr. Warbucks' limousine is waiting outside.
- Oh, boy, I can hardly believe it.
- She can hardly believe it.
- Hey, kids, I'm getting out for Christmas.
I'll write to you.
[Children] Bye Annie!
- Bye, kids.
- Bye Annie.
- Good afternoon, Miss Hannigan

(audience cheering)
- Hello, everyone.
- Welcome home, Mr. Warbucks.
- It's good to be home.
- How was your flight from Chicago?
- Not bad.
It took 17 hours and we only had to land eight times.
Now, first things first.
Has the painting arrived from Paris?
- Yes, sir.
They're just about to hang it now, sir.
- Ah, Yes.
No, I don't think so. Grace? - Yes, sir?

President Roosevelt.
He wants you to call him at the White House.
- I'll get back to him tomorrow.
Anyone else?
- John D. Rockefeller, Mahatma Gandhi and Harpo Marks.
- Nothing urgent.
What did Harpo want?
- He didn't say.
- Wait a minute.
Maybe I could learn to live with this thing.
Hang it someplace.
- Yes, sir.
- Mr. Warbucks, I'd like you to meet the orphan.
- Oh, and Mrs. Pugh.
- New England Clown chowder.
Kentucky Fried Chicken.

So I chose a girl.
Oh, well, I suppose she'll have to do.
Annie, huh? Annie what?

Christmas with us. Now, Grace, we'll start with the figures
on the iron ore shipments from Toledo to...
What are we supposed to do with this child?
- It is her first night here, sir.
- It is?
Well, Annie, your first night here.
I guess we ought to do something special for you.
Why don't you sit down.
Now, how would you like to go to a Broadway show?
Gosh, Mr. Warbucks, I'd love to.
I've heard a lot about them, but I've never been to one.
- Never? - No, sir.
- Well, then we've got to do
something about that right away.
And nothing but the best for you, Annie.
You'll go
to Times Square and then an ice cream soda
at Rumple Myers and a handsome cab ride around Central Park.
(audience laughs)
- Goll-lee!
- I'm glad to see Broadway
getting back on its feet in spite of the hard times.
(audience cheering)
Grace,
forget about work tonight.
We'll do it first thing in the morning.
- Yes, sir.
- Instead, you take Annie to the theater.
- Aw, gee.
- Something the matter, Annie?
- No, it's just.
Aw, gee.
- No. What is it, child?
You don't want to go to Broadway?
- No, I do. It's just...
well, I thought you were going to take me.
- Me?
Annie, you see
I'm afraid I've been away for six weeks.
- Aw, gee.
I've been away for six weeks
making an inspection tour of my factories or what's left
of my factories with this damn depression.
And when a man is running
a multibillion dollar corporation, that has to.
- No, it's okay, Mr. Warbucks.
Don't worry. I understand.
- It's the President. - Tell him,
I'll call him back.. - He's right here, sir.
- Hello, Mr. President.
Yes, I got in an hour ago.
Mr. President.
I didn't like what I saw out there.
Factory shutdown.
My factory shutdown.
Well, when I'm not making money, nobody is.
I'll grant you that Congress
has their heads up their ass as a Republican, Sir,
I have to say, I agree with most of them.
Well, you'll have to come up with a new approach.
A new plan. A new.
A new uh...
A new something.
Mr. President, can we continue this tomorrow?
I have a very important engagement tonight.
See, I'm going to a Broadway show with a ten year old girl.
- Eleven.
- I was mistaken.
She's eleven. Goodbye, Mr. President.
Drake, coats. - Yes, sir.
- Oh, and Grace, you'll come too.
Of course.
- Yes, sir.
Will you be wanting the Bentley, Sir?
Or the Duesenberg?
This child's been cooped up in an orphanage?
No Duesenberg.
We'll walk.
- Walk to Times Square? - Sure.
Why not? It's only 45 blocks.
- Yes, sir.
- Smell that? Marvelous!
(audience applause)
- Fifth Avenue bus fumes.
There's no air like the air of New York.
And you don't realize how much you miss it the whole damn
city until you've been away from it for a while.

They finally let you out of Sing Sing.

I swindled them out of $1100.
- Why did he say that?
- Because the Rooster swindled them out of one $1100.
(audience applause)
- It's true.

Rooster, do me a favor. - Anything.
- Get out of here and take the Saint Regis with you.
- Come on sis! - Cut it.
Looking for another break, huh?
- I got $80 coming in on Thursday.
So all I need is a ten to tide me over.
- No, not even a nickel for the subway, Rooster.
- A five, Aggie? - Oh, God.
I got a laugh.
You and all your big talk, if you don't get...
(audience laughs)
- Talking about you're going to live in Clover.
- This ain't exactly Buckingham Palace.
- I'm on the city.
Free gas, steady salary, free electric and food.
I'm doing all right.
- You're doing like I'm doing. - Lousy.
- Look, how do the two Hannigan
kids end up like this on the skids?
* I remember *
* the way our Sainted Mother *
* would sit and croon us her lullaby *
* She'd say, Kids, there's a place that's like no other *

Who was the Joe I bumped into when I first come in here?
Looked like he had a couple of dollars.
- Ooh, that was no Joe.
That was Oliver Warbucks.

The millionaire?

He was headed back to his mansion on Fifth Avenue.

What did Warbucks want around here?
- He came to give me
the wonderful news about how he wants to adopt Annie,
an orphan here. Annie.
I hate that kid.
She's going to have everything, that rotten brat
is gonna have everything.
- Crummy orphan living in the lap of luxury?
It ain't fair. - No, it ain't fair.
* It ain't fair how we scrounge for three or four bucks *
* While she gets Warbucks *
- The little brat.

(audience applause)
- The package from Tiffany's?
- Yes, sir.
Arrived this morning, sir.
- Good. I'm going to give it to her
and then tell her I want to adopt her. I...
If she'll have me.
I know I could never replace her parents.
Well, where is she?
I can't wait to tell her the news.
- She's upstairs in her room, sir.
Writing another letter to her friends at the orphanage.
Drake?
Drake, Mr. Warbucks will see Annie now.
- Fine.
Damn.
- You don't have to be nervous, sir.
She's going to be the happiest little girl in the world.
- You're damn right she is. And I'm not nervous.
(audience laughter)
Get her down here.
- Yes, sir.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello, Annie. How are you today?
- I'm fine, sir. And how are you?
- Fine. - Fine.
- You look fine. - Fine.
Annie, the time has come
for the two of us to have a very serious discussion.
- You're sending me back to the orphanage, right?
- Annie, can we have a man to man talk?
- Sure.
- I was born into a very poor family in what they call
Hell's Kitchen, right here in New York.
Both of my parents died before I was ten.
And I made a promise to myself.
Someday, one way or another, I was going to be rich.
Very rich.
- That was a good idea.
(audience laughter)
- By the time I was 23, I had made my first million.
And then in ten years, I turned that into 100 million.
Boy, in those days, that was a lot of money.
Anyway, making money is all I've ever given a damn about.
I might as well tell you, Annie,
I was ruthless to those I had to climb over to get to the top
because I've always believed one thing...
You don't have to be nice to the people you meet on the way up
if you're not coming back down again.
- Mr. Warbucks, that's terrible.
(audience laughter)
- But...
I've lately realized something.
No matter how many Rembrandt's or Duesenberg's you've got,
if you have no one to share your life with, if you're alone...
Well, then you might as well be
broke and back in Hell's Kitchen.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
- Sure.
- Good.
- Kind of. - Kind of?
- Guess not. - Damn!
(Grace clears her throat)
- Uh...
I was in Tiffany's yesterday and I, uh...
Picked this up for you.
- For me?
Gee.
Thanks, Mr. Warbucks.
You're so nice to me.
- I had it engraved.
- Oh, Gee.
- It's a new locket.
I noticed that old broken one you always wear,
and I said to myself,
Well, I'm going to get that kid a nice new locket.
- Thank you, Mr. Warbucks.
Thank you very much.
- Here, let's uh...
Well, let's just take the old one off.
- No!
No, please don't make me take off my locket.
I don't want a new one.
- Annie, what is it?
- This locket...
My mother and father, they...
They gave it to me when they...
When they left me at the orphanage.
And there was a note, too.
They're coming back for me.
And then I know being here with you all for Christmas...
I'm lucky. I just don't know how to say it.
The one thing I want more than anything in the entire world
is to find my mother and father.
And then to be like other kids.
But, with folks of my own.
[Grace] Oh, baby...
Shhh...
- Annie?
It'll be all right.
Grace, we should get her something.
How about a brandy?
(audience laughter)
- It's going to be all right.
[Warbucks] Annie?
I'll find them for you.
I'll find your parents for you.
[Annie] You will?
[Drake] Miss Annie, you just see.
If anyone can find your parents,
Warbucks is the man.
- I'll find your mother and father, Annie.
I won't stop until we do. You have my promise.
Drake, get me J. Edgar on the phone.
I want 50 of his best FBI men for a very special assignment.
For however long it takes, I'll pay all costs.
- Yes, sir.
- You watch, Annie.
You might be meeting your mother
and father within a couple of days.
- Really?
[Warbucks] Really.
Everyone, let's get to work.
(soft music)
* Maybe now it's time *
* Maybe when you wake *
* They'll be there calling you Baby *
(Annie cries)
* Maybe *
(Annie sobs)

We knocked on the door upstairs, but nobody answered.
Are you the lady that runs this here orphanage?

Something could have happened to her.

It's going to be all right, okay?
(audience laughs)
She's going to be here.
She's going to be ours again. Okay, Shirl?
(audience laughs)
Excuse us, ma'am?

We had to go up north to Canada
and leave our baby here on the front stoop.
- Our little girl. Our Annie.
- Annie?
You're Annie's parents?
- Oh, please.
Nothing's happened to her?
- I don't believe it.
Annie's parents.
Where'd you say you come from again?
- From a little farm up north in Canada.
- Manitoba.
- Where they have lots of chickens.
- Chickens. - Ducks.
- Little Ducks. - Geese.
- Oh, you should see all the geese.

I know a guy out of jail who can doctor up any fake birth
certificates or any other papers you might need.
But we're going to need your help, Aggie.
With any details about Annie
that'll help pull this thing off.
- Well, I can help, Rooster, a lot.
You know,
Annie wears this broken locket
and her parents kept the other half.
Well, years ago,
there was a fire and all the belongings came to me.
So guess who has that locket now?
But what's it for me, Ralph?
- Three way split, Aggie. - Half.
- Half?! - Half!
Oh, you come on. Bring it!
- Straight down the middle.
Yeah, 25 grand each.
But we got to do this fast. In and out.
Two or three minutes at the most.
Give them the ol' Rooster razzle, dazzle.
Yeah, we get to 50 grand.
We blow off this old crumby town
and then me and Lil will meet ya.

* Annie is the key *
* Yes sirree, yes sirree, yes sirree *
* Easy Street *
* That's where we're gonna *
* Be *
(audience applause)
- And President Roosevelt has so
far lived up to none of his lofty campaign promises.
In a nation wracked by poverty and unemployment,
it is deeds we want from the White House, not words.
In short, Mr. President, if you are listening,
we've had enough of your fireside chats.
It is time...
- Criticism, dammit. Nothing but criticism.
- I know. I know. - It's awful.
- Did anyone see The Washington Post this morning?
- My friends, I say again,
the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
- Oh, Franklin, you've already been elected.
- Oliver Warbucks and friend, Mr. President.
- Thank you. Show them in.
Oliver. Good of you to have come.
- Good morning, Mr. President.
- Who is this we have here?
- Mr. President, this is my good friend, Annie.
- Annie.
- She so wanted to meet you
that I couldn't resist bringing her along just to say Hello.
- Of course. The little girl on the radio with you yesterday.
- Annie, this is President Roosevelt.
- How do you do, President Roosevelt?
- How do you do, Annie?
It's a pleasure to meet you. - Thank you.
- Now, Annie, if you'll just wait outside.
- No, no, no, Oliver. Let Annie stay.
- Mr. President!
- Having a child on hand will keep us on our best behavior.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
Annie.
- Now, Oliver,
since you speak for those happy few Americans who have any money
left at all, I'd like to begin with your views on matters.
- Mr. President, in the words of Calvin Coolidge,
the business of this country is business.
We've got to get my factories
open and the workers is back to work.
- Excuse me, Oliver,
but while you're worried about your factories,
there are now 15 million
Americans without work and nearly 50 million Americans
with no visible means of support.
- And I understand that. But in the long run...
- For people who are starving, there is no long run.
They need immediate help.
- Handouts. No one wants handouts.
- Trouble is it's all happening at once.
The stock market has taken another nosedive.
- Sit-down strikes, riots. - Floods, dust storms.
- Well, we all agree on one thing.
The situation is hopeless and getting worse.
[Warbucks] Harold, I'd like to see those figures.
- The sun will come out tomorrow.
Bet your bottom dollar...
[Harold] Shh! Little girl! Be quiet!
- Harold! What did you say, Annie?
No, that's all right.
Go ahead, my dear. It's still a free country.
* Just thinking about tomorrow *
* Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow *
* Till there's none *
* When I'm stuck with the day that's gray *
* And lonely *
* I just stick out my chin *

[Roosevelt] Harold Ickes. Join in.
- What?
- You heard me. Join in.
Come on. Now, Harold. Sing.
- Sing? - Yes. Sing like Annie.
I've just decided that if
my administration is going to be anything, it's going to be
optimistic about the future of this country. Now sing.
- Now really, Franklin... - Sing!
- * The sun'll come out Tomorrow *
- Louder, Harold!
- * Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow *
* There'll be sun *
- Perkins!
[Perkins and Harold] * Just thinking about *

* And grin, and say--
Everyone. Republicans too, Oliver!
Sing!
[all singing] * The sun'll come out *
* Tomorrow *
* So you gotta hang on *
* 'Till tomorrow *
* Come what may *
* Tomorrow! Tomorrow! *
* I love ya, Tomorrow! *
* You're always a day *

(audience applause)
- Mr. President. A Telegram.
- Yes. Excuse me.
Well, this isn't for me. It's for you, Oliver.
From New York.
Hundreds of couples jamming
street outside house, all claiming to be Annie's parents.
- Oh, boy! - Have begun to screen them.
Suggest you return to New York at once.
Signed, Grace Farrell.
- Well, it looks like "The Hour of Smiles"
has more listeners than we thought, huh, Annie?
- Gee, hundreds of parents.
I mean, one of them is bound to be my mother and father.
- Well, I suspect you'd better get
back to New York, Oliver. Immediately.
- Thank you, Mr. President. If you don't mind.
Annie.
- Goodbye, everyone.
[All] Goodbye, Annie.
- Bye, Mr. President. And thank you.
- No, thank you, Annie.
You're the kind of person
a President should have around them.
- Mr. President?
- Yes. - What if we set up a hundred...
No! A thousand federal projects.
- Dams. - Highways.
- New post offices.
- And put the unemployed to work building them.
- We could create 5 million new jobs within six months.
- And weekly paychecks would get all of those people off
of relief and back to paying taxes.
- Mr. President, what we've got to give this
country is nothing less than a new outlook.
- A new vision! - A new approach
- New concept. - A new dedication!
- A New Deal!
Ladies and gentlemen, I was right the first time.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
[All singing] * Tomorrow! Tomorrow! *
* I love ya, Tomorrow *
* You're only a day *
* Away! *
**
(audience applause)
- Miss Farrell, I'm afraid there's still no sign of
Mr. Warbucks and Miss Annie.
- Drake, look at all these questionnaires.
Do you realize that I've talked
to 617 women who've claimed to be Annie's mother?
And 619 men who have said that they were her father?
That makes, let me see...
- 1,236.
- All liars.
Drake, I never realized there were so
many dishonest people on the island of Manhattan.
(audience laughs)
- Some of them came from the Bronx, Miss.
(audience laughs)
[Warbucks] Grace, we're back.
[Annie] Where are they, Miss Farrell?
Where are all the people?
- They're gone, dear.
Come and gone.
I'm sorry, Annie, but they were all liars
and fakes after nothing but the 50,000.
- Are you certain? - Yes, sir.
None of them knew about the locket.
I'm so sorry.
- Gee, I thought for sure
one of them was going to be my mother and father.
- Mr. Warbucks, this just came by
a special messenger from the FBI.
- Finally.
Elliot Ness has located
the manufacturer of Annie's locket in Utica, New York.
- Oh, boy!
- That sort of locket was
manufactured between 1918 and 1924.
- Sort of locket? - Yes.
Over 90,000 were made and sold.
- 90,000. - Annie, um...
I'm afraid the gist of it is
that Ness doesn't think there's a chance in a million of tracing
the identity of your parents through the locket.
I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
I mean, gee...
You did the best you could.
If you can't find them, nobody can.
But anyways, I guess a kid can get along without folks.
I mean, you turned out fine.
All them Duesenbergs you have
hangin' on the wall and everything.
- Excuse us, Mr. Warbucks.
We'll go check on the dinner menu.
- Annie, um...
A Duesenberg
is a car.
And Babe Ruth.
He's the right fielder for the New York Yankees.
And, uh...
Well, there's something else I think he's should know.
- Gee, Mr. Warbucks, you play the piano?
- Not if you ask my good friend, George Gershwin.
(audience laughs)
* I've made me a fortune *
* That fortune made ten *
* Been headlined and profiled *
* Again and again *
* But something was missing *
* I never quite knew *
* That something was someone *
* But who? *
* My speeches are greeted *
* With thunderous acclaim *
* By two universities bearing my name *
* Yes, something was missing *
* Each time I got through *
* That something was someone *
* But who? *
* Who could that someone be? *
* How could she make it known *
* Who would *
* Need me for me *
* Need me for me alone *
* The world was my oyster *
* But where was the pearl? *
* Who dreamed I could find it *
* In one little girl? *
* Yes, something was missing *
* But dreams can come true *
* That something is no one but you *
**
Not bad for an old man, huh?
(Annie giggles)
(audience applause)
**
* Who would *
* Need me for me? *
* Need me for me alone *
* The world was my oyster *
* Where was the pearl? *
* Who dreamed I would find it *
* In one little girl? *
* Yes, something was missing *
* But dreams do come true *
* That something *
* Is no one *
* But you *
(music swells)
(audience applause)
- Grace. Grace!
- Yes, sir.
- Call me Oliver.
- Oliver.
- Do you have those legal papers I gave you the other day?
- I'll get them right away.
- No, wait, Grace.
I want you to stay for a moment.
Annie, I'm willing to try
everything to find your real mother and father.
But I don't want you to ever feel alone again.
So, if we go through it all and we can't find them,
I'd be pleased to adopt you if you'll have me.
- Adopt me?
[Warbucks] What do you think?
- Well,
if I can't have my real mother and father,
then there's no one in the world
I'd rather have than you, Mr. Warbucks.
- Oh, Annie!
(audience applause)
Annie!
This isn't just going to be an adoption.
It's going to be a celebration.
And you can invite anyone in the world you want to come to it.
Who would you like? Babe Ruth, Johnny Rockefeller.
Ah, Madame Chiang Kai-shek. She's a lot of fun.
- Well, I'd love to have Miss Grace there.
And Mr. Drake and Annette and Cecille
and Mrs. Pugh and Mrs. Greer.
Well, I guess I'd like everyone. - Of course.
That's who I'd like to. Drake!
Everyone, I have an announcement to make.
Annie is officially becoming part of our family.
(everyone applauds)
I want everyone to get spiffed up.
And Grace? - Yes.
- I think Annie should get spiffed up, too.
- Annie, run upstairs and see what's in your bedroom.
There's a surprise for you.
- Oh, boy!
- Mrs. Pugh, we're going to have a party.
We need flowers. - Flowers.
- Caviar. - Caviar.
- Champagne. - Champagne.
We have Annie!
- Cecille, I think now would be
a good occasion for my white dinner jacket, if you please.
One more thing.
(soft music)
I want to thank all of you for all you've done for me
these past years.
I know this house has been rather quiet and lonely
for a very long time, but all of that is about to change.
This is the happiest night of my life.
- Mr. Warbucks.
(exciting music) (audience applause)
(everyone claps)
- Oh, Annie, I am the luckiest man in the world.
- And I'm the luckiest kid.
[Both singing] * Together at last *
* Together forever *
* We're tying a knot *
* They never can sever *
[Warbucks] * I don't need sunshine now *
* To turn my skies to blue *
[Both] * I don't need anything but you *
[Warbucks] * You've wrapped me around *
* That cute little finger *
* You've made life a song *
* You've made me the singer *
[Annie] * And what's that bathtub tune *
* You always "Bu-bu-boo?" *
- * Bu-bu-boo, Anything but you *
* Yesterday was plain awful *
* You can say that again *
* Yesterday was plain awful *
* But that's * * Not now *
[Both] * That's then *
* I'm poor as a mouse *
* I'm richer than Midas *
[Both] * But nothing on earth *
* Could ever divide us *
* And if tomorrow I'm an apple seller too *
* I don't need anything but you *
(upbeat music)
**
[Warbucks] Yay!
(upbeat piano music)
**
(upbeat big band music)
**
[Both] * We're two of a kind *
* The happiest pair now *
* Like Fred and Adelle *
* We're walking on air now *
* And what's the title of the dream *
* That just came true? *
* I don't need anything *
* Anything * * Anything *
* I don't need anything *
* But you *
(audience applause)
[Drake] Sir. I'm sorry to interrupt.
But they were insisting.
- What is it?
- They're here for Annie.
(both gasp)
- Excuse us, everyone. Oh! Shirley, look!
There's our Annie!
- Who are you?
- Honey, we're your mom and dad.
- Mudge. Mudge is the name. Ralph Mudge.
And this here's the wife, Shirley.
- You never knew it, dear, but you're Annie Mudge.
[Warbucks] Annie Mudge?
- We were sick and broke back then, honey.
We didn't know which way to turn.
And then a man gave us a chance
to work on his farm up in Canada.
- But we couldn't bring a long no baby.
- No.
We loved you, Annie, but we had to leave you behind.
- Mr. Mudge, is it? We've seen a great number
of people who've claimed to be Annie's parents.
- The proof!
I expect you'll be wantin' proof of who we are.
This here's the driver's license.
And that's Annie's birth certificate.
- Baby girl name, Anne Elizabeth Mudge.
Born to Ralph and Shirley Mudge.
New York, New York. October 28,1922.
- October 28th.
That's my birthday.
- It was in her note, sir.
- Yes, I know, but I still don't...
- Mister, please.
You got to believe us.
We got in on the Greyhound this afternoon, and we went straight
to the orphanage to fetch our Annie.
But the lady down there said she was up here.
- Oh, Annie!
All the years I dreamed of holding you in my arms again.
- Mr. Mudge, on the night
that Annie was left at the orphanage...
- Here's something you wouldn't know about.
When we left Annie
at the orphanage, we left half a silver locket
with her, and we kept the other half.
So one day...
- Ralph look! She's wearing it.
(audience chuckles)
- And here's the other half that we kept.
(audience laughs)
Oh yes!
It fits perfectly!
- Oh thank God, Ralph! She's our Annie!
- She is! Oh, she is!
- She seems to be.
- Well, if you'll be getting her
things, we'll be taking her along.
[Warbucks] Take her? [Grace] No!
- Pardon me, Mr. Mudge.
What about the money?
- Oh...
We don't got much,
but we're happy to give you whatever we got.
- You haven't heard that I'm offering a certified check
for $50,000 to anyone who can prove they are Annie's parents?
- No, sir.
We don't know nothing about no check.
Besides, we don't want no money.
- Right! We don't want no money for Annie.
- On the other hand, Shirl,
remember that little pig farm up in New Jersey?
Well, with $50,000,
we could raise Annie up right in the country.
Where she'll have fresh air.
Fresh eggs. - Fresh Ham.
- Fresh haha! Fresh ham.
Certified, huh?
So all I got to do is make it out to myself?
- That's correct. Tomorrow morning.
- Tomorrow morning? - Yes.
You wouldn't mind if Annie
stayed here until tomorrow morning.
Christmas.
That way you could pick up Annie and the check.
- Oh. - Oh...
[Warbucks] Problem? - No, sir.
It's whatever you prefer.
(yawns)
I guess we'll be getting back to the hotel until tomorrow,
Annie, when you'll be spending the rest of your life with us.
- Goodbye, Annie, dear.
- Okay. Oh!
Pardon me, pal.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
- Seasons Greetings, one and all.
(audience laughter)
- Okay.
- Well, everyone, this is wonderful news.
- Yes, it's wonderful news.
- Annie has found her parents
and they seem to be a very nice couple.
Very nice.
- You're lucky, Annie.
- Right.
I'm... I'm lucky.
Just think...
Pig farm.
- Mrs. Greer, where's that champagne?
- Yes, sir.
- We must celebrate because it's Christmas Eve.
And we've just had the most wonderful news in the world.
Annie has found her mother and father.
Everyone, I propose a toast to Annie Mudge.
[All] To Annie Mudge.
- Annie?
- The Mudges.
There's something strangely familiar about them.
- I'm so sorry, sir.
I know we had our hearts set on Annie.
I'm going to go upstairs
and help her pack and see if she's okay.
- I've lost her.
I've lost Annie.
* Maybe it's fair *
* Most would agree *
* Maybe it's just the way it should be *
* A mom and a dad *
* And Annie makes three *
* I hope you don't forget about me *
* So maybe when you're grown *
* If I should cross your mind *
* You might remember I loved you *
* Maybe *
Drake.
Get me the President.
I need his help.
**
- Merry Christmas, Annie.
- Merry Christmas, Mr. Warbucks and Miss Farrell.
- You're up early.
- Yes, well, my folks are coming from me,
so I thought I'd just wait for them here.
I guess they'll be taking me out to the country.
Will you come and see me sometime?
- Yes, Annie.
I'll see you.
- You're up early too.
- We've been up all night, dear.
And we've had quite the time of it.
FBI men coming and going.
- Really?
- Um...
I have something very difficult to tell you.
Annie,
early this morning, FBI Director Hoover
telephoned me with some very sad news.
Through the paper and the handwriting on your note,
he succeeded in tracing the identity of your parents.
- Yes. We already know that. Mr. and Mrs. Mudge.
- No, dear.
They aren't your parents.
Your parents were David and Margaret Bennett.
- David and Margaret Bennett.
Well, where are they?
- Annie...
- Annie, your mother and father passed away
a long time ago.
- You mean they're dead?
- Yes, dear.
- So I really am an orphan, like all the other kids.
- Are you all right, Annie?
- I guess I always knew my folks were dead.
Because I knew that they loved me.
And they would have come back for me if they weren't.
- I love you, Annie Bennett.
- I love you, too.
(audience applause)
Now, who the heck are Ralph and Shirley Mudge?
- Atta girl!
Who the heck are Ralph and Shirley Mudge?
- I mean, the birth certificate could easily have been forged.
But the thing is, they knew about the locket.
- Nobody knew about the locket
except the FBI and us, of course.
- And Miss Hannigan.
[Warbucks and Grace] And Miss Hannigan.
[Drake] Mr. Warbucks, this just came in from the FBI.
- Good
Comes the dawn.
Now it all fits together.
- Annie, look at this.
- Leapin' lizards.
Who would have guessed?
- Sir. Mr. and Mrs. Mudge.
- Show them in, Drake.
- My pleasure, sir.
Won't you please come in, Mr. and Mrs. Mudge.
- Good morning, everyone.
Oh, Shirley, look, there's our little girl.
- Your little girl.
- Hi, Mom.
Hi, Dad.
- Hello, dear.
- Well, we don't want
to interrupt, seeing how it's Christmas and all.
You'll be getting her things, her suitcase?
- Allow me.
- Oh, and the check?
- Yes, of course.
The check. I'd almost forgotten.
Here it is, Mr. Mudge.
$50,000.
Certified.
- Certified, eh? - Certified.
(whistle blowing)
- Ma'am, you cannot come! Ma'am please stop!
(whistle blowing)
- Mister, uh, Warbucks. Mr. Oliver.
We just ran...
60 blocks!
To let you know that they are not Annie's real parents.
That is my no-good brother and his hotel girlfriend.
And they were going to take
Annie, or the money, and disappear Annie.
- And we're not gonna let 'em do it!
(kids yelling)
- Miss Hannigan, thank you.
We have reasonable belief that the FBI just
informed us of the real identity of Mr. and Mrs. Mudge.
Otherwise known as...
[Roosevelt] Rooster Hannigan.
Also known as Ralph Mudge.
Also known as Danny the Dip?
- Franklin, I believe that fraud is a federal offense.
And that your secret servicemen have the power to arrest.
- Yes, Oliver. They certainly do.
- If me and Roaster is taking the fall, so is she.
- Yeah. Who do you think clued us
in on the locket and was going to pocket half the money?
Half!
- Wait!
Mr. Warbucks, do they have to take Miss Hannigan, too?
- She was their accomplice, Annie.
She probably masterminded the whole thing.
- I know, but she did just try to save my life.
- The kid has a great point!
I always loved you! You're so pretty with your hair!
(audience laughs)
- Please. - Please.
- Okay.
Let's go with the other two.
- Go with the other two? How did you go with these two?
- My baby!
(Annie screams)
- Ms. Hannigan, seems you'll be needing a new
job since clearly your time at the orphanage is done.
Mr. President,
this New Deal of yours, the 5 million people who will go
back to work building bridges and roads.
Well, I think we found your first worker.
Drake! Please take Miss Hannigan to the east wing.
- Oh, the east wing. We can certainly work with that.
Ohhh... Drake, is it?
[All children] Annie!
(audience applause)
- Annie, we'd like to meet your friends.
- Okay. Kids, I'd like you to meet Miss Grace Farrell.
[All] Hello.
- Hi, kids.
- Oh, and this is the President of the United States.
- Hi, kids!
[All] Hello!
And this is Mr...
Daddy Warbucks.
(audience applauds)
- Children, Miss Hannigan is gone for good.
(kids cheer)
And you won't have to work anymore.
(kids cheer)
Instead, you'll have teachers and classrooms.
Oh, but listen, kids.
No more mush.
[All children] No more mush!
- Yes, girls, for you and for all of us,
this Christmas will be
the beginning of a wonderful new life.
