"So, even though he wanted
to do a lot as President,
"he died of pneumonia
after only 32 days.
"So, we can all learn
"to wear our coats
and wash our hands,
"so we have
better immune systems.
"The end."
Good job, Annie.
Okay, Annie B.,
your turn.
You sure there's time?
I don't wanna keep
anyone from vacation.
Just get up here.
- Where's your essay?
- Up here.
And it's more of
a performance piece.
Here we go.
My president is
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
He was elected in 1932,
when almost everyone was poor.
So, pretty much just like now,
but without the Internet.
Everyone except the front
row, you be the poor people.
You're hungry and mad. So,
growl and stomp your feet.
Grr! Grr-grr!
Grr! Grr-grr!
Front row, good news,
you're the rich people.
Laugh and clap like you're
better than everybody.
Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!
But FDR didn't like it that everyone
was poor, so, he gave them all jobs.
He called it the New Deal.
Work hard, and you get rich.
So, when I tap you, you're rich.
He had people build
roads and got paid.
Cut down trees and got paid.
Made it easy to buy a house,
go to college.
Soon, the whole country
was happy.
But don't worry, rich people.
You're still better than everyone
because you get even richer!
Good job, Annie.
Have a good vacation, everyone!
- You gonna make it in time?
- I always do.
We'll cover for you.
Good luck.
Luck's for suckers.
Tomorrow
To-To-Tomorrow
To-Tomorrow
It's the hard-knock
life for us
It's the hard-knock
life for us
Excuse me!
Do you have any time left?
I have about 10 minutes.
- I'll return it for you.
- Really?
Promise.
Thanks!
Stand clear
of the closing doors, please.
I'm sure I'm gonna like it
I'm sure I'm gonna like it
I think
I'm gonna like it here
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
five, four, three, two, one.
Light it up!
How many of you guys want
some free Stacks phones, huh?
I can't hear you!
Any reservations for Bennett?
Honey, I told you.
remotely be your parents walk in,
I'm gonna let you know.
And I mean remotely.
Name's Bennett, Senate,
Pomegranate, black, white, other.
I'll let you know.
- I'm guessing you're gonna wait anyway.
- Yep.
Get your free Stacks phone.
Never drop a call.
Thanks, thanks. Cool.
Free Stacks phone. Okay?
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
And there we are, ma'am. Free Stacks phone.
Never drop a call.
for you for mayor now.
Yeah, well, you know what?
This isn't a campaign event.
But I would totally love that.
- Oh!
- Mmm-mmm! Mmm-mmm!
Okay, that's it.
We're done. Thanks.
Hose me down.
I feel like I'm on fire.
Yeah.
You kissed a few babies.
You don't want to catch colic.
- You know what? You're right.
- Oh! Will!
You shake 500 hands, and you
tell me how you feel, huh?
Feel like a zookeeper.
- Marry me, Will!
- Okay, sure.
Sorry.
It's okay. I just
come for the cannoli.
I'll see you next Friday?
You know it.
Hey, girl.
How'd it go?
- Nah.
- Eh.
- Can I?
- Sure.
As long as you
give those to my lady.
Thanks.
Freeze!
I said freeze, you little rat.
I know you heard me.
Get over here.
These are from Lou.
They look like they're from Lou.
I'll tell him you loved them.
a smart-mouthed little girl?
No, they don't,
or you wouldn't be here.
And the only reason you are here
is because I get $157
a week from the state.
Which, believe me,
is not worth it.
I should put a leash
on you, you little...
You're so pretty.
I used to be a bright star.
I was in the biggest
band in the world,
C+C Music Factory.
About to go on
Arsenio Hall Show.
September 16th, 1991.
But I was too good for them!
Fired me right before
I went out on stage.
You have a very pretty voice.
I will die with that secret!
Hey, you little monster, I wasn't
done with you! Get back here!
I haven't told you how I was
almost one of Hootie's Blowfish.
How did I get here?
- Did you find them?
- Nah, but it's okay.
- So sorry.
- Sorry, Annie.
Shh! The witch
will hear us.
They're never gonna
be at that restaurant.
Be quiet, Pepper.
Yes, they are.
You be quiet, Isabella.
Annie's never gonna find her family.
None of us are.
Don't say that.
Don't listen to her, Mia.
You're gonna get adopted.
I promise.
You keep saying that. I'm almost 13.
No one wants a teenager.
Yes, they do. We all
have families somewhere.
Can you read your note again?
Okay.
Oh, God.
For the millionth time?
Yeah, read it, Annie.
But quietly.
They went to Domani's,
ordered two cannolis,
and wrote me this note.
"Please take care of our baby.
"Her name's Annie.
"We'll be back to get her soon.
"There's half a locket around her
neck, and we have the other half,
"so when we come for her, you'll
know that she's our girl."
Can I see it?
They're gonna come back for all of us.
I promise.
Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be
straightening his tie!
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
Betcha they're young
Betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays, and art!
Betcha they're good
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake
Was giving up me!
So maybe now it's time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there
calling me "baby"
Shh!
Maybe
Betcha he reads
Betcha he reads...
Betcha she sews
Betcha she sews...
Maybe she's made me
A closet of clothes!
Maybe they're strict
As straight as a line
Don't really care
As long as they're mine
So maybe now this prayer's
Maybe now this prayer...
The last one of its kind
Won't you please
come get your "Baby"
Won't you please
come get your "Baby"
Maybe
Wake up!
Wake up, rats.
Get out of bed!
It's so early.
And it's Saturday.
Thanks for the time and date. Now,
over to Stormy for the weather.
It's raining!
The city called.
They're coming to inspect.
You gotta go and clean
Aren't they supposed to give
a couple days' notice?
Aren't I supposed to be
married to George Clooney?
Get out of bed
and start cleaning!
Who's George Clooney?
Exactly, girlfriend.
Exactly.
No breakfast until
this place is spotless!
I hate her so much.
And if you find any loose change
over a nickel, it's mine.
I was having the best dream.
I was ice-skating
on real, live ice.
Save your dreams for good stuff.
Like shopping with
Or swimming in candy.
Or flying to the moon
in a rocket ship.
All things that
will never happen.
Now, clean like your life depends on it.
'Cause it does!
It's the hard-knock life.
It's the hard-knock life.
It's the hard-knock life.
It's the hard-knock life.
Wait. What does
"hard-knock life" mean?
It means our life sucks.
Oh. Then, yeah.
It's the hard-knock
