Annie Page #4

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.

And that's what I wanna do with the city.

I wanna make it great again.

You're 20 points

down in the polls.

You've got billions to spend

and it's not working.

How are you gonna

change people's minds?

Everybody wants to

count my money, huh?

4.3 billion.

You know, I have feelings.

And I feel for people

that are out there...

- Baba Booey! Baba Booey!

- Yes. See.

That's probably one of my

satisfied customers right there.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

This is terrible.

Do you really think a

businessman can run the city?

At Stacks Mobile, I made a cell

network that never drops a call.

As mayor,

I'm gonna make a government

that never drops a citizen.

Yeah, as long as those citizens

live below 96th Street.

You're lucky you can't vote yet, mija.

Politicians are all liars.

What dates should

I change these to?

One week for the milk.

Two weeks for the juice.

You need to smile more.

You only smiled four times.

Is that right?

Really?

Voters respond 23% more

favorably to full-teeth smiles.

Yeah. How about

thumbs up, huh?

Uh, Sixteen percent better

if you give them a single.

Thirty-eight percent if you

shoot them the double.

Why do I get the feeling like

I'm wasting my time here?

Am I gonna win, or not?

'Cause this seems

like a waste of time.

You hired me to win.

You're gonna win.

- Put this on.

- Why? I'm already dressed.

- How you doing?

- Here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I gotta feed the hobos?

Don't say "hobos."

Say "bums."

For some crazy reason,

everybody thinks

you're a rich elitist that can't

relate to regular people.

Oh, so the girl from Oxford is trying

to tell me how to keep it real.

I'm telling you if you

want a chance at this,

you're gonna have to remember

where you came from.

Okay, Gatsby?

Compliment them on the

food, but not too much.

- Oh, I ain't eating this food.

- You're gonna eat the food.

And you're gonna like it, but

you're not gonna love it, okay?

We don't want to seem

like we're pandering.

I don't eat hobo food.

All right. That's good.

How we doing, folks?

Starving?

How do you sleep at night?

Silk sheets and Ambien.

Look at all

these handsome faces!

There you go.

All right.

And here we go.

God bless.

Bet you never had mashed

potatoes, Mr. Stacks.

Are you kidding me?

Why, my grandmother made some of

the best

mashed potatoes in Queens.

You know, that's where I'm from.

Born and raised.

On the playground's where

I spent most of my days.

And look at this.

It's not amazing, but it ain't terrible.

Look at this, huh?

Mmm-mmm!

Went down the wrong pipe.

This is disgusting.

Look, it's terrible.

Oh, God.

You're a child.

Well, how do you

guys think that went?
