- Wish I had a nickel

for every time someone said,

"Wish I had a nickel."

[Groans]

- [Dog Barking]

- Don't you even think about...

Ow!

Bitin' me!

- That's the last of'em.

- Good, good. All right.

Let's drop these at the pound and

take our lunch break somewheres warm.

- How 'bout Florida?

- Yeah, good idea.

Hey, come back here!

That's mine!

Oh, go on.

Eat up.

What's wrong? Are they chasing

you 'cause you're looking

for your mom and dad too?

Don't worry.

It's gonna be okay.

Sometimes it seems like the only thing

you've got is trouble.

But things'll get better.

They just gotta.

#The sun'll come out

tomorrow #

# Bet your bottom dollar

that tomorrow #

#There'll be sun #

#Just thinkin' about

tomorrow #

# Clears away the cobwebs

and the sorrow #

#Till there's none #

#When I'm stuck with a day

that's grey and lonely #

# I just stick out my chin

and grin #

#And say #

# Oh #

#The sun'll come out

tomorrow #

# So you gotta hang on

till tomorrow #

# Come what may #

#Tomorrow, tomorrow #

# I love ya

tomorrow #

#You're always

a day away #

- Hey, you!

- Every dog for himself.

- I said, hey you!

- Yes, sir?

Not you. The you with four legs.

Freeze!

- What's the problem, sir?

- This mutt keeps giving

the dog catcher the slip.

- I can finally turn him in.

- Oh, you don't have to

turn him in, Officer.

- See, he's my dog.

- Really?

Well, how come I seen him

around and not you?

Me?

Well, I don't get out much.

Well, uh,

what's your dog's name?

Name?

Oh, that's easy.

I call him...

Sandy!

That's right.

Sandy, 'cause his fur's

a nice, sandy color.

Sandy, huh?

Well, why don't you call him?

- Call him?

- Yeah,

By his name...

Sandy.

Gee, I would. Only sometimes

Sandy forgets his name is Sandy.

- Right, Sandy?

- Just call your dog.

Sandy!

Here, Sandy!

Come on, boy!

Thattaboy.

Good Sandy.

All right, then.

Next time I see you, Sandy better

have a leash and license.

- Otherwise he goes to the pound

for an eternal sleep.

- Yes, sir.

Now get home before you catch

pneumonia in this cold.

Oh, it doesn't bother me.

- There's always a couple in there.

- I'll check it.

Hey, anybody in here?

We're not here, okay?

Hey, down there!

You know the law... no loitering.

We ain't loiterin', Officer.

We're holdin' a meetin'.

Yeah,

for the Millionaires' Club.

[All Laughing,

Laughing Stops]

Yeah, well, I suggest you move it

to your Park Avenue address,

or else I'll have you arrested

for trespassing.

Let's be good citizens and move along.

Let's go. Come on, everybody, let's go.

Move! Let's go!

Let's go. You too.

- Come on. Come on.

- Come on. Let's go.

You!

Where's the leash and license?

- Run for it, Sandy!

- [Barking]

Hey, Flatfoot,

bet you can't catch me!

You take the mutt.

I'll take the kid.

Hey, you, short stuff!

Hold up!

[Panting]

[Continues Panting]

Wait a minute!

Get back here!

[Continues Panting]

I was worried sick,

Officer!

Oh, you poor little thing. I hope

you didn't catch a cold out there.

- I don't know whatever

I'd do without ya.

- Scrub the floors yourself?

Of all my little girls, Annie here is my

favorite. Thanks for bringing her back.

Well, seein' as she means that much to

you, ma'am, I guess I don't mind...

that I spent the whole night

chasing after her.

Well, if there's anything

I can do to repay you, Officer.

- Well, actually, there is.

- Uh-huh.

There was thing mangy mutt

with her that got away.

He comes sniffin' around, give a holler,

and he's off to the pound.

Oh, yes, sir.

You can count on me, sir.

For anything.

Ta-ta.

All right, the show's over!

Back to your rooms!

And you... If the Board of Orphans

finds out about this,

they'll start nosin' around here

and I could lose my job.

But I thought

you hated your job.

Oh, no, I love my job.

It's kids I hate.

You wait here.

I'm gonna go cook up your punishment.

- And it's gonna be a doozy.

- Miss Hannigan, Miss Hannigan!

We saw a mouse!

A mouse!

- Do I look like the exterminator?

- There it is! Up there!

- No, it's there!

- I tell ya, it's there!

- [Stomps On Foot]

- [All Laughing]

[Screams]

Out of my sight!

All of ya! Scram!

Ow!

[Panting]

- Boo!

- [All Laughing]

# Little girls, little girls

everywhere I turn #

# I can see them #

# Little girls

little girls #

# Night and day

I eat, sleep and #

# Breathe them #

# I'm an ordinary woman

with feelings #

# I like a man

to nibble on my ear #

# But I'll admit #

# No man has bit #

# So how come

I'm the Mother of the Year #

# Little cheeks

little teeth #

# Everything around me is #

# Little #

# If I wring little necks #

# Surely I would get

an acquittal #

# Some women are drippin'

with diamonds #

# Some women are drippin'

with pearls #

# Lucky me, lucky me #

# Look at what

I'm drippin' with #

- Duffy, you cheated!

- Did not!

- Did too!

- Did not!

- Too! Too-o-o!

- Not! No-o-o-t!

Shut u-u-up!

# How I hate little shoes

little socks #

#And each little bloomer #

# I'd have cracked

years ago #

# If it weren't

for my sense of humor #

# Someday I'll step on

their freckles #

# Some night

I'll straighten their curls #

# Send the flood

send the flu #

#Anything that You can do

To #

# Little girls #

# Someday I'll land

in the nuthouse #

#With all the nuts

and the squirrels #

#There I'll stay

- [Door Slams]

- Okay, missy.

I don't want you

ever to do this again,

so you're gonna scrub

every inch of this dump... with this.

- Glad you're back?

- Yes, Miss Hannigan.

Liar! What's the one thing

I always taught you?

Never tell a lie.

- That's right.

- [Knocking]

Excuse me. I was told I'd find

a Miss Hannigan here.

- And who might you be?

- I'm Grace Farrow. The City

Board of Orphans said...

Look, it was all a mistake. Somehow,

Annie got in the laundry basket.

Well, one thing led to another,

and I had to call the cops.

Please don't fire me!

I think you must have me

confused with somebody else.

Oh, I get it.

[Scoffs]

Uh, listen, honey, if you're peddlin'

beauty products, I don't need any.

Miss Hannigan,

I do not peddle anything.

I'm personal secretary

to Mr. Oliver Warbucks.

- The Oliver Warbucks?

- Yes.

- The richest man in the world?

- Yes.

The Board of Orphans

sent me here...

to extend Mr. Warbucks'

personal invitation to an orphan...

to spend the holidays

in his home.

I'm an orphan.

I can be ready in five minutes.

An orphan child.

Perhaps a child like this one.
