Annie Page #4

that you're okay.

What people?

Everybody who saw that.

Whoa, my hair's gigantic.

We can listen to

whatever you like.

Can you put on talk radio?

Are you sure you don't

wanna listen to music?

I love talk radio.

It calms me.

So do I. I loved it

when I was a little girl.

I used to think that

they were all my friends.

Sorry, that sounded very sad.

Sorry.

I have a lot of friends,

so don't worry about me.

I mean, so I work a lot. I do. And

I could have some more friends.

But how many friends

do you really need?

I mean, if you were

my parents asking me,

"Are you fulfilled and

are you happy, Grace?"

That's a whole different

conversation, right?

But we're not

having that conversation.

And, frankly, it's really not your

position to ask me that at all. So...

Okay.

There she is. Our own

Little Orphan Annie.

Foster kid.

She's here.

Hey, this is the one, right?

All right. Let's get this.

Slow your roll.

- Excuse me?

- Can we eat first? It was a long drive.

Yeah, yeah. Go, go.

Yeah, yeah, sure. Let's eat.

We got time for that.

All right.

So, how are you

feeling from yesterday?

So, what's the hustle?

What makes you think there's a hustle?

There's no hustle.

- Come on, come on.

- Uh...

I'm 10. I'm not an idiot.

I never said you were...

An idiot. Or 10.

Truth of the matter is,

I don't know how old you are.

- Ten.

- Well, now we know that you're not an idiot.

But there are a lot of

people out there that are

and when they saw

that photo of us,

they thought that I would

make a great mayor.

Why?

Why? Because I'm a...

I'm a rich guy.

I saved an orphan.

I'm not an orphan,

I'm a foster kid.

And you didn't save me.

Oh, I didn't save you?

I didn't just

push you out of

the way of a van?

Why don't I call that

van back and have him

finish up what he...

You know what?

The more we're seen together, the

better it is for my campaign.

Wait. That's how

a mayor gets elected?

Yes. Insane, isn't it?

I bet if I moved in with you,

you'd become president.

Move in with me?

This is not that kind of party.

That's it.

That's it. That's it.

I think he wants to

tell you something.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

Annie coming to live with you.

What?

From what I understand, it's

very crowded where you live.

How'd you like some more space?

Is that something

that you might like?

Living with the richest

guy in the world?

Yeah, that's something

I might like.

Great. Perfect.

Guy. What are

you talking about?

Listen to me. It'll

only be for a few weeks.

Then she'll go back

to wherever she came from.

Taking in a foster kid, that's an

automatic 15 point jump in the polls.

- Guaranteed.

- You want me to play Daddy?

It's easy. All I need

is a bed and meals.

You don't have to

do anything else.

And you get $157 a week.

Do I look like

I need $157 a week?

Everybody needs

an extra $157 a week.

You're not really

thinking about doing this?

You want photos, right?

I'm sure there's

easier ways to get photos.

Not with me in them.

Smile.

Mr. Stacks!

Are you really doing this?

Yeah, won't even

know she's there.

It's like having a turtle.

I wonder if she has her shots.

- How was your lunch?

- What's your name?

Her name is Annie, and she'll be

staying with Mr. Stacks for awhile.

He's going to adopt you?

No, no, no. I have parents.

This is just temporary.

If he gets approved.

- What now?

- Next.

I need a temporary

guardian approval, please.

There is a six-week waiting period

and you need form NYS 84-...

Sweet Lord.

Hi.

Bam.

You know, I don't normally

do the site visits,

but I've taken such

a liking to young Annie.

I forget sometimes, you

know, why I got into this.

It's for my files.

So, does the guardian have "adequate

income to provide basic shelter"?

I'm just gonna go

ahead and check that box.

Come on in.

...about $95 per share

in cash and stock.

...detonated

an explosive while fire...

Whoa.

Oh, yeah, whoa.

Hey, is there a

co-temporary guardian?

No.

Would you like a

co-temporary guardian?

Why don't I take

these guys on a tour,

and you can get back to work.

Best idea of the day.

I'll come with you.

Will. Will, Will!

Okay, so the state says

that you must have at least

one water source in...

Check.

And a window that's... Okay.

And then at least one

chair per 10 persons.

And I think the Starship

Enterprise is gonna count.

I'm gonna check that box.

How does it do this?

It's a smart house.

So, it recognizes your voice and

then adjusts itself accordingly.

It's like a friend.

I consider it a friend. But I have

real friends that aren't robots.

Let's forget this conversation

and the previous conversation

and start afresh.

Got that? Great.

I'm gonna record your voice now,

Annie, and it'll be in the system.

So, just say

something into this.

What should I say?

Anything.

I think I'm gonna like it here.

Got it.

Great. It's all yours.

Have a go.

And I'll be back.

Ma'am?

Excuse me. You are not

allowed to go in there.

- This is very nice.

- Are those halogen bulbs?

Ma'am.

This sink is bigger than

my entire country.

I think I'm gonna like it here.

I think I'm gonna like it

I'm sure I'm gonna like it

I think

I'm gonna like it here

So, think it

and it shall appear

I think

I'm gonna like it here

Because it knows

just what you wanna see

Wait, I think it

and it comes to me?

Here's something

grand for you to play

Wait, I couldn't

do that yesterday

I think

I'm gonna like it here

It's very

hard not to, my dear

Look!

It knows the temp

you're comfy in.

That's great.

Can it teach me to swim?

We'll get a coach,

no need to fear.

I think I'm gonna

like it here

The water's cold!

Everything

you've ever dreamed

Is at your fingertips

And if you

haven't dreamed it yet

Add it to your wish list

Is this Mr. Stacks' room?

No, Annie, this is your room.

Sweet Lord.

I think I'm gonna like it

I know I'm gonna like it

I know you're gonna like it

Damn right,

I think

I'm gonna like it here!

Yes, yes, I think
