Annie Page #3

Looking through boxes.

H:
Annie wears a locket round her neck. She says her parents have the other half to one day come and claim her with.

Years ago her parents were killed in a fire and the cops brought me all their junk. Well baby brother if Annie's parents

can claim her with that locket so can we!

Oh Annie (rushes to hug her) Look Ralph she still has the locket.

She puts the other half of the locket on.

We've finally found you

W; I suppose you heard about the reward?

R:
Reward? What reward?

W:
On the radio

L:
We don't have a radio

Grace:
How did you know Annie was here?

R:
That kind lady at the orphanage told us.

L:
I have the birth certificate right here (handing it over) I've kept it close to my heart all these years.

A:
I'll go pack

L:
You want me to help you baby?

A:
NO thanks...Mum

Warbucks writes a check

R:
Sir we're just so thrilled to have Annie back. We don't need the money

L (snatching cheque) We are poor. We could use it to buy food. A warm blanket for Annie

W:
Put it in your pocket Mrs Mudge

Annie packs with Grace

A:
Do you think the stores would take all these clothes back?

G:
But don't you want to keep them?

A:
My folks­they're poor. All these clothes might make them feel bad. Could you maybe take them to the orphanage

and give them to my friends?

G:
Sure

Annie sings Maybe “Bet you my life is gonna be swell. Just looking at them it's easy to tell.

Warbucks seeing her leave sings “it will be fine
