Annie Page #6

Synopsis: Annie is a young, happy foster kid who's also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they'd be back for her someday, it's been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan. But everything's about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks - advised by his brilliant VP, Grace and his shrewd and scheming campaign advisor, Guy - makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in. Stacks believes he's her guardian angel, but Annie's self-assured nature and bright, sun-will-come-out-tomorrow outlook on life just might mean it's the other way around.

Hey, it's one of our phones.

It's time.

That cost us $500,000.

What?

Product placement.

It's the only thing

that's keeping

the movie business afloat.

Execute your orders

and return to the queendom.

You succeed, and your

mother will be set free.

If not...

We are ready down there.

Once the moon sets,

we will attack.

Thanks, Sakana.

What is going on?

The fish are going

to attack the moon.

But they should attack already.

There's not gonna be enough

time for Kyle and Saffron

to get away from

the Luna Monsters.

Attack, Sakana, attack!

Shh!

Quiet.

She's a fish and he's a boy

Moonquake, Moonquake...

Sakana, Sakana!

Sakana!

Sit down.

I can't believe

Sakana told on them.

Of course you can. You can't

trust the fish people.

Gwarklark warned them.

I think she was bluffing.

Nah, it was a warning. They

come back in the next movie.

There's a next movie?

There're four more.

Shut up!

- Whoa!

- Cool!

I gotta get back to work.

You can't stay for the party?

No. I haven't worked

in two hours

and three of my men

think I'm dead.

I'm alive.

You've worked enough.

If your building gets any

taller it's gonna hit the sun.

You got this crazy way

of turning a no into a yes.

How do you do that?

I think when people say no, they're

just really scared of saying yes.

Well, I'm not scared. No!

- Please!

- No!

- Please.

- Yes.

- Yes!

- Come on!

Uh... Uh.

Uh, listen. I don't know.

- Well, okay.

- This is amazing.

Mr. Stacks! Will!

I can't believe how

long you've been here.

We're gonna be late

for the Jets-Giants game.

You're doing

the ceremonial coin flip.

And remember, they're both

New York teams,

so, heads or tails, you gotta

be equally happy and sad.

You're right.

You go, I'll stay

here with the kids.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

All right, come on, let's go.

What is that?

Look, Tessie!

- Can we make one more stop?

- Shh.

- Sure.

- Don't wake up Hannigan.

- Bye!

- Bye, girls!

You come here every Friday?

It's the only day

they serve cannoli.

And that's all

you've got to go on?

Do you think you'll remember

what they look like?

I think I'll just know.

What are you doing still up?

Where did you get

all of this stuff?

Where'd you get it?

Where'd you get it?

We went with Annie to the movies,

and we got candy and soda,

and we went ice skating,

and Mr. Stacks is so cool,

and I got fish earrings.

Nice, Tessie.

I can't keep a secret.

I got fish earrings.

Pack it up.

It's going back.

- Why?

- Because you don't deserve it.

Yes, we do.

It's from our friend.

She's not your friend.

And neither is Mr. Stacks.

They're all just a bunch of parasites

who suck the life out of you

and move on once

you're not the shiny

new object in

the Factory anymore.

You're being mean.

I'm being educational!

Now pack it up!

You look ridiculous.

I didn't fall.

...reptile in the bathtub.

Mama.

Mama.

Little girls,

little girls

Everywhere I turn

I can see them

Ugh.

Little girls,

little girls

Night and day I eat,

sleep and breathe them

Get out of here!

I should be

anywhere but here

Private planes,

on the stage and MTV

But I find myself

here at the snot house

Little shoes,

little socks

Please kill me.

I'm serious, please kill me.

I'm not singing, I'm asking.

Locked in a cage

with all the rats

I've slipped

through the cracks

And now I'm

stuck with the scraps

And I can't seem

to find my way back

Get me out,

get me out of here

Oh, get her out

I'm ready for stardom

after all these years

I'm done with little girls

I wanna be someone

in this world

Little girls,

little girls

Everywhere I turn

I can see them

Ugh.

Little girls,

little girls

Night and day I eat,

sleep and breathe them

Get out of here!

Locked in a cage

with all the rats

I've slipped

through the cracks

And now I'm

stuck with the scraps

And I can't seem

to find my way back

Oh, get me out,

get me out of here

Oh, throw me a rope

I'm ready for stardom

after all these years

I'm done with little girls

I wanna be someone

in this world

Little girls,

little girls

Ugh.

Oh, my God.

That was beautiful.

Your voice matches your beauty.

You sound like a church bell,

if it was stuck on top

of a beautiful woman,

or if a beautiful woman

was inside a church bell.

Not that you look like a church bell.

That's not what I'm saying.

If you looked like a church bell,

I'd go to church every day.

What?

I got you a T-shirt, and you're gonna

love it. Here, you ready? Here.

What...

It's not your color? Not your size.

I got more in the store.

You know what I'm talking

about, the church bell, right?

Cannoli.

One for your pretty friend.

Thank you.

- Sorry, kid.

- It's okay.

Can you not tell

Mr. Stacks about this?

I don't want to

bother him with it.

Sure.

He's worked selflessly his

entire life for New York.

From his first job teaching

in inner-city schools,

to his 25 year stint

on the City Council...

Whose voice is that?

I don't know.

Endorsed by The New York

Times, the New York Post,

and me, Michael J. Fox.

Michael J. Fox? It's over.

We're finished.

If Michael J. Fox endorses

him, then I'll vote for him.

Listen to me,

Michael J. Fox

is not as great

a guy as you think.

Oh, no, no.

Come on, he's a saint.

- I hear there's a tape.

- Forget it. I don't wanna hear it.

- You've plateaued.

- Michael J. Fox.

Pay attention.

Follow the little green dot.

- That's you there.

- I don't need a pointer to read a graph.

Well, read this. Annie's taken

you as far as she can, okay?

But it's not over.

How bad do you want this?

I don't start things

I can't win.

Well, how far are

you willing to go?

Or should I say, how far

do you want me to go?

I pay you a lot of money

for you not to ask me

those types of questions.

Okay, Guy-O?

Rat-a-tat-tat,

message received, boss.

- Good morning.

- Made you breakfast.

You made me breakfast.

Hey, I was thinking maybe you would

wanna go in to work with me today.

- Cool.

- That'd be cool?

- I'll go make us drinks.

- All right.

- Don't let your food get cold.

- Mmm!

Okay.

I won't. This is amazing.

Oh...

Annie, you really

outdid yourself.

Annie, this is a triumph, honey.

You got me eating

this thing up like a dog.

Oh! Mmm!

This is good. What is it?

Mmm, paprika, mmm, oregano.

What is... Mmm, mmm!

What is that, Gouda cheese?

You wanna know what's Gouda?

This breakfast.

Cool, a helicopter!

Yeah.

- Oh! Make sure you duck!

- Why?

I don't know. They always

duck in the movies!

Hop on up.

All right. Here we go.

Do you get airsick?

Don't know. I've never

been in the air before.

- Ah.

- I threw up on the swings once.

Annie, we're gonna

do a cell tower check.

Make sure they're all working.

You do that yourself?

Yep, told you work was fun.

Gilbert, let's roll.

You'll be all right.

You wanna know the secret to

"Never drop a call"?

Not really.

Yes, yes, I do.

Desperately.

Good.

See, we have five times

as many cell towers
