(To ANNIE) Well, Annie, I guess we ought to do something special on your first night. GRACE: (Aside to WARBUCKS) It is her first night here, sir. Grace, we'll start with the figures on the iron-ore shipments from… Toledo to… (Made uncomfortable by the presence of ANNIE, aside to GRACE) What are we supposed to do with this child? WARBUCKS: (Obviously not meaning it) Not at all.

(Frowningly approaching ANNIE, assessing her) Annie, huh? Annie what?ĪNNIE: (Nervously) Oh, I'm just Annie, Mr. WARBUCKS: Well, I suppose she'll have to do. GRACE: I'm sorry, sir, you just said 'orphan'. Warbucks: the orphan who will be with us for Christmas. WARBUCKS: And, Grace, if you'll get your notebook… Who is that?
