Scene 7: Lines Flashcards
[Lights up]
Yes… Yes, Mr President… No, I am not asking for your help but I am telling you that you’ve got to do something… Alright. We’ll talk about it on…
GRACE: Friday.
Friday. Listen, Mr. President, why don’t we bury the hatchet and you come over with Mrs Roosavelt for supper Christmas eve?… You will… Wonderful. Goodbye, Mr. President…
Grace, find out what Democrats eat.
GRACE: Yes, sir.
The package from Tiffany’s?
GRACE: Arrived this morning.
Excellent. I’m going to give it to her and then I’m going to tell her that I want to adopt her.
GRACE: She’s going to be the happiest little girl in the world.
Get her down here!
ANNIE: Hello.
Annie, can we have a man-to-man talk?
ANNIE: You’re sending me back to the orphanage, right?
Of course not.
Annie, I come from a very poor family, and both of my parents died before I was ten. So I made a promise to myself, someday, one way or another, I was going to be rich. Very rich.
ANNIE: That was a good idea.
But lately I’ve realised something… No matter how much money you’ve got, if you have no one to share your life with, then you might as well be broke.
I was in Tiffany’s yesterday, and I picked this up for you.
ANNIE: For me? Gee, thanks, Mr Warbucks… Oh… Gee.
It’s a silver locket, Annie. I noticed that old broken one you always wear and I said to myself, “I’m gonna get that kid a nice new locket.”
ANNIE: No, I don’t want a new one.
Annie, what is it?
ANNIE: …But… The one thing I want in all the world… Is to find my mother and father. And to be like other kids, with folks of my own.
It’ll be alright. I’ll find them… I’ll find your parents for you.
GRACE: Shh, Shh, Mr. Warbucks will find your mother and father. If he has to pull every political string there is to pull.
Up to and including the White House! Annie, give me your locket.
ANNIE: But Mr. Warbucks…
I understand, but it could be our best clue. We’ll have the F.B.I trace it and find out who bought it.
ANNIE: Okay, and maybe they should have my note, too.
You watch, Annie. You may be meeting your mother and father within a couple of days.
ANNIE: Really?
Really.
