Question 3

ANNIE: Oh boy!

Answer 3

Over ninety thousand were made and sold.

Question 4

ANNIE: Aw, gee.

Answer 4

Annie, I’m afraid that the F.B.I don’t think that there’s a chance in a million of tracing your parents through the locket, I’m sorry.

Question 5

ANNIE: That’s okay, you did your best. Anyway, I guess a kid can get along without folks. You didn’t turn out so bad.

Do you have those legal papers I gave you the other day?

ANNIE: Adopt me?

Answer 8

Yes or no?

Question 9

ANNIE: If I can’t have my real mother and father, there’s no one in the world I’d rather have for a father than you, Mr. Warbucks!

Answer 9

Annie, this isn’t just going to be an adoption, it’s going to be a celebration! And you can have anyone in the world you want to come to it. Who would you like?

Question 10

Well, I guess I’d like Miss Farrell here. And Mr. Drake. And Mrs. Pugh. And, well, everybody here.

Annie Mudge?

Answer 15

Mr. Mudge, what about the money?

Question 16

ROOSTER: Well, we ain’t got much, but we’d be glad to give you whatever…

Answer 16

You haven’t heard that we’re offering a certified check for fifty thousand dollars for anyone who can prove that they are Annie’s parents?

Question 17

LILY: On the other hand, Ralph, remember that little pig farm out in New Jersey? With fifty thousand dollars, we could afford to bring Annie up right. In the country.

Answer 17

Would you mind if Annie stayed here until tomorrow… Christmas? Then you can come back to pick up Annie and the check.

GRACE: Annie!

Answer 21

I’ve lost her. I’ve lost Annie.

Question 22

Answer 22

Then I won’t give her up until we’re certain.

Question 23

GRACE: But how…?

Answer 23

I’ll find a way! I’ll go straight to the top! To the president of the United States! Even if he is a democrat.
