as the other guys.

But we hide them in plain sight.

Like right there. You see?

No.

It's in her crown.

Yeah!

That's so cool.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

How'd you do this? How'd you

become king of the world?

Well, I wouldn't

say king of the world.

But I work my butt off.

The harder I work,

the more opportunities I get.

See, you gotta play the cards

that you've been dealt,

no matter how bad the cards are.

What if you

don't have any cards?

Then you bluff.

See, that's what

I love about this city.

No matter who you

are or what you are,

you just gotta want it bad enough,

and work with what you got.

This is just

the start of your story

If you got guts,

you'll get glory

Anyone can make

their dreams come true

In New York City

And now's the time

you gotta stand tough

'Cause if you work hard,

you can rise up

Anyone can make it,

even you

In New York City

Look at me,

I'm just blood pumpin'

You and me are

two hearts thumpin'

We are two souls

feeling the same beat

So take it all,

the city's yours

It's worth fighting for

It's all yours

So take it all

The city's yours

It's worth fighting for

It's all mine

It's all yours

Why don't you go

above 96th Street?

No reason.

Gilbert, go uptown.

This is my New York City.

Where'd you live?

Everywhere.

- Oh, I see a cell tower!

- Where?

See it? Right there.

Right under that devil bird.

Good eyes.

You know, Annie, sometimes

what you're looking for

is right in front of your face.

In New York City

So take it all

So take it all

The city's yours

The city's mine

Worth fighting for

It's worth fighting for

It's all mine

It's all mine

So take it all

So take it all

The city's yours

The city's mine

Worth fighting for

It's worth fighting for

It's all mine

It's all mine

It's all yours

In New York City

- Grace.

- Hmm?

What's our presence

past 96th Street?

Um, well, we're mostly

focused below,

but I've been saying for

a while we should try...

No, but I had it this way.

Let me do this. I've got it.

I know what I'm doing.

Miss Farrell?

- Oh. It arrived. Thanks.

- What's that?

I bought a dress for Annie to

wear to the event tonight.

It's gorgeous. I just

need you to tie the bow

and make sure that the satin...

- I tie the bow?

- Yeah.

- I'm dressing her?

- You just have to tie the bow.

No, I...

What kind of bow?

- It's just a simple bow.

- Like a slipknot?

'Cause you know I

didn't take Boy Scouts.

It's very easy, Will.

- And have the satin facing out.

- The satin?

- Yeah.

- I knew a girl named Satin.

I'm sure you did.

You don't need to elaborate.

Satin and bows is

not necessarily my...

You know what?

I'll come over.

- Yeah, I mean, either way.

- Great.

- She's gonna look gorgeous.

- Mmm-hmm.

Annie.

You did not...

- You didn't see anything?

- I didn't see anything.

Good. Good. 'Cause I... Well, I don't know.

I thought I saw you...

Nope! Here the whole time.

What were you guys doing?

Just hanging out?

Hi.

Evening.

Wow.

Uh, Grace, you look great.

Oh, please.

You look handsome, lovely.

- No.

- Yes.

This is old. This is my grandmother's.

It's nothing.

Your grandmother is hot.

I mean, not that I've... I've never

seen your grandmother. I'm not...

I'm saying that

the dress is nice.

Well, you're sweet.

You look good.

So do you.

Let's go and get you dressed.

Let's go!

Oh, oh, her dressed.

I was already dressed.

- Come on!

- Yes.

Come on.

Yeah. Get some...

Ready?

Yes. I'm very excited.

Oh, Annie, it's gorgeous.

You're just gorgeous.

I can't believe it.

All right, ladies, let's go. Let's go.

We're running late.

Annie! Wow.

I know, right? I've never

seen a bow this big.

Yes, and I noticed that you put the

satin on the outside of the bow.

That's a very

interesting choice.

You know what? Get out of here.

We're not done yet.

You know what? When did

this stop being my house?

- Out!

- Okay, fine.

You know what?

You're changing everything.

As a matter of fact,

this used to be a Basquiat.

Now it's a dog

and a deer in a meadow.

Why is that combination so cute?

Come on.

Let's do your hair.

Why aren't you

and Mr. Stacks together?

That's a complicated question.

Not really.

Do you like him?

Well, you know,

I work for him. You know,

liking him doesn't

really come into play.

Okay.

I mean, is he my friend? Yes.

Do I find him attractive?

Sure.

And not just in the physical sense.

But he is very good-looking.

He's got lovely shoulders

and a great, chiseled face.

Lovely lips. Good hair.

I wouldn't bank

on the hair, sister.

Well, I'm far too busy

to be bothered

with anything like that

anyway, so...

That sounds like something

Mr. Stacks would say.

Yeah, it does, doesn't it?

When my friend Pepper

liked this boy at school,

she punched him in the face.

She got suspended, but they

play in the park together now.

Sometimes I'd like to punch

Mr. Stacks in the face.

I'm just meaning punching.

That's it.

I just want to punch him.

He's annoying.

Thanks for doing this, Will. Your

name's gonna look great up there.

Now, you sure the Guggenheims are

okay with me taking their name off?

You gave me 100 million

reasons not to care.

Did they find anything

on my parents?

No, not yet. And we dug real deep.

I'm sorry.

Thanks for trying.

Annie!

Annie, come on! Annie, Annie!

New Yorkers face challenges

every single day.

Challenges that

seem insurmountable.

We all tell ourselves

"no" a lot.

We say,

"No, I won't get that job,"

or, "No, I can't

afford college."

Unless it's you, Franklin,

coming from the mean streets

of Martha's Vineyard.

Hey! Yeah.

Let's change

those noes to yeses.

Because when we say no, we're

actually just scared to say yes.

So, let's start

saying yes to ourselves,

and let's say yes

to a brighter future.

Now, many of you know that I've had

a visitor staying with me recently.

She only knows

the word "yes." Annie?

Hmm?

Could you come up, please?

Go on. You'll be great.

Go on, darling.

Swallow your shrimp, Annie.

Now, Annie,

I don't wanna embarrass you.

I just want everyone to see what the

future of our city is all about.

Now, do you have

anything you want to say

to these good people that are

just oozing with liberal guilt?

Except for you, Senator.

I know you're trying

to build that fence.

I can't believe I'm here.

I'm in a dress that

feels like a cloud.

I'm standing in the middle

of a giant cinnamon roll.

With a band that has

little violins,

big violins...

...one of those.

Oh, a piano.

Mr. Stacks has

taught me so much.

He's given me such

a big opportunity.

Under the glow

of the very bright lights

I turn my face

towards the warm night skies

And I am not afraid

of a thousand eyes

When they're above

five hundred smiles

Oh, I used to think

Oh, she used to think

What wouldn't I give

What wouldn't she give

For a moment like this

For a moment like this

This moment, this gift

Now look at me
