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.

Great idea. I'm a child,

and I'm an orphan.

A liar!

Annie ain't no orphan.

She's my little girl,

and she's nothing but trouble.

That seems hard to believe.

Look, you can have any orphan

in the joint, only you can't have Annie.

If this has something to do

with the laundry or the police,

perhaps the Board of Orphans

should know.

She's all yours.

- Merry Christmas.

- Good.

If you'll just sign the paperwork

and get Annie's coat.

Coat? Why would

a kid need a coat?

- We'll buy you one at Bergdorf's

on the way uptown.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Bergdorf's? Well, ain't we fancy?

- [Girls Gasping]

- You'll never guess what happened.

- I get to go away for Christmas.

- [Girls Cheering]

[Girls]

Bye, Annie! Bye!

Everybody!

Everybody,

this is our

Christmas guest, Annie.

Annie, this is...

everybody.

Hello, everybody.

Did Mr. Warbucks' plane

arrive yet?

He called from Teeterboro.

His airplane's been delayed,

but he's on his way.

- May I take your coat, miss?

- Will I get it back?

- [Chuckles]

- Of course you will, honey.

Now tell me, what would you like

to do first?

The floors. I'll scrub them,

and then I'll do the windows!

No, Annie, Annie!

You're Mr. Warbucks' guest.

- You're here to have fun.

- Really?

Really. Now, we've ordered in

special things just for you.

Mr. Warbucks instructed me to make sure

that for the next two weeks...

you have a swell time here.
