Grace: Uh, Mr. Warbucks, I'd like you to meet...
Warbucks: No time for dinner tonight, so tell Mrs. Pugh to send up an American-cheese sandwich at midnight. Come along, Miss Farrell. Let's get started.
(a press representative snaps a picture of him)
Warbucks: (screams) AAAAGH!!!
(he grabs the man's camera and smashes it to the ground)
Warbucks: WHAT THE DEVIL'S GOIN' ON HERE?!!
Grace: Oh, Mr. Warbucks, this is the press representative! Your image!
Warbucks: Oh! Oh, yes! (laughs) Pick him up, Punjab. Uh, get him another camera.
(he and Grace laugh)
(Grace Farrell has come to present Oliver Warbucks' proposal for an orphan)
Grace: Miss Hannigan, I am the private secretary to Oliver Warbucks.
Miss Hannigan: The Oliver Warbucks? Oliver Warbucks the millionaire?
Grace: No, Oliver Warbucks, the billionaire.
(Miss Hannigan has discovered Sandy.)
Annie:...I love you, Miss Hannigan?
Miss Hannigan: And you will love the paddle closet, Annie! And this will love the sausage factory! (Orphans cry out) What?
Orphans: We love you, Miss Hannigan.
Miss Hannigan: (sarcastically) Shut up.
(Annie has revealed Sandy the dog to her fellow orphans)
Pepper: He smells.
Molly: What's his name, Annie?
Annie: Guess.
Molly: Uh, Fifi?
(Annie shakes her head)
Pepper: That ain't a name for this mutt!
(she and the other orphans laugh)
(After the "Hard Knock Life" number; the orphans have hidden Annie in a laundry basket.)
Miss Hannigan: What are you all just standing around here for?! You're supposed to clean the bathroom and the kitchen before lunch, my little pig-droppings! And if ya skip the corners, there will be no lunch. And we're not having hot mush today.
(The orphans cheer until Miss Hannigan blows her whistle)
Miss Hannigan: We're having cold mush.
(The orphans groan)
Miss Hannigan: What?!
Orphans: We love you, Miss Hannigan.
Miss Hannigan: Wonderful. (looks around) Where's Annie?
Molly: She had to go bathroom.
Miss Hannigan: (mocks) "She had to go bathroom."
Bundles' voice: Miss Hannigan!
(Miss Hannigan is surprised to hear his voice)
Miss Hannigan: Oh! Mr. Bundles.
Orphans: Mr. Bundles.
Miss Hannigan: Did I hear...singing in here? All right, fine. Since we're all so wide awake...! Get up! Get out of bed!
(Orphans groan)
Miss Hannigan: Clean up this mess! Get dressed! And this room had better be regulation before breakfast, my little pig droppings. Or kill, kill, kill!
Annie: But it's in the middle of the night.
Miss Hannigan: (mocks) "But it's in the middle of the night." (normally; grabs Annie) And if this floor don't shine like the top of the Chrysler Building, your backsides will. Y'understand?
Orphans Yes, Miss Hannigan.
Miss Hannigan: What do we say, Annie?
Annie: I love you, Miss Hannigan.
Miss Hannigan: Why any kid would wanna be an orphan is beyond me.
(Annie has just calmed down Molly after her nightmare)
Annie: Close your eyes. Think about your folks.
Molly: You're the only one who really has folks. Mine are dead.
Annie: Think about the folks who want to adopt you, because want a little girl with brown hair and brown eyes.
(Annie then goes into the rest of the song "Maybe" until Miss Hannigan comes in.)
Annie: Do you want Miss Hannigan to come in here?! Go back to bed!
(the other orphans return to bed, except for Pepper, who stares at Annie)
Annie: Now! Or you'll have me to deal with.
Pepper: Aw, blow it out your ol' wazoo.
(she returns to bed)
Warbucks: Grace! Get me J. Edgar on the phone! Drake! Get me the chief of police! Asp! Get me Walter Winchell! PUNJAB!!! Get me William Randolph Hearst! And, Saunders, get me a drink!
