- Molly: But they wasn't her real parents, mister, they was bad people!
- Daddy Warbucks: Leapin' lizards!
- Miss Hannigan: [singing] Some women are drippin' with diamonds / Some women are drippin' with pearls / Lucky me, lucky me, look at what I'm drippin' with / Little girls!
- Miss Hannigan: Where's Annie?
- Molly: She had to go bathroom.
- Miss Hannigan: [Imitating Molly] She had to go, bathroom.
- Grace: What about this child?
- Miss Hannigan: Annie? Oh, you don't want Annie.
- Grace: Why not?
- Miss Hannigan: Because. Because she's a drunk!
- Annie: I guess they're dead. I guess I've known that deep down for a long time.
- Daddy Warbucks: I'm not giving up. Don't you give up.
- Annie: I didn't want to be just another orphan, Mr. Warbucks. I wanted to believe I was special.
- Daddy Warbucks: You are special! Never stop believing that!
- Daddy Warbucks: Miss Hannigan, I presume?
- Miss Hannigan: Yes?
- Daddy Warbucks: I wanna talk to you about Annie.
- Miss Hannigan: You wanna return her and forget her? Or trade up?
- Daddy Warbucks: I wanna adopt her.
- Miss Hannigan: Would you excuse me for a moment? Aaarggghh!
- Daddy Warbucks: You spend your evenings in the shanties.
- Miss Hannigan: You had me followed.
- Daddy Warbucks: Imbibing quarts of bathtub gin.
- Miss Hannigan: Bronchitism.
- Daddy Warbucks: And here you're dancing in your scanties,
- Miss Hannigan: Great gams.
- Daddy Warbucks: With some old geezer called Little Caeser,
- Miss Hannigan: He's an uncle.
- Daddy Warbucks: You lock the orphans in the closet.
- Miss Hannigan: They love it!
- Daddy Warbucks: You hock their Christmas souvenirs.
- Miss Hannigan: Drink?
- Daddy Warbucks: You steal the funds you should deposit.
- Miss Hannigan: It's fresh.
- Daddy Warbucks: You make them grovel while you buy laveleers.
- Daddy Warbucks: Wait! There's something interesting in that woman's smile. I might learn to like her. Hang her in my bathroom.
- Daddy Warbucks: Absolutely not! I'm a businessman. I love money, I love power, I love capitalism. I do not now and never will love children.
- Miss Hannigan: What are you just standing around here for? You're supposed to clean the bathroom and the kitchen before lunch, my little pig droppings, and if you skip the corners, there will be no lunch. And we're not having hot mush today.
- Orphans: Yay!
- Miss Hannigan: We're having cold mush!
- Miss Hannigan: You can have any orphan in the whole orphanage except Annie.
- Grace: Well, why?
- Miss Hannigan: Because she's got it comin' to her; and I don't mean a week in the lap of luxury!
- Daddy Warbucks: Your teeth are crooked.
- Grace: I'll get them fixed.
- Daddy Warbucks: I like them crooked.
- Grace: [whispering] I'll leave 'em.
- Rooster: Oh sir. We are just so thrilled to have found Annie. We don't need any money.
- Daddy Warbucks: I'll take it back.
- Lily: Of course, we are poor people. It would help us a lot. We could buy her milk, a warm blanket.
- Daddy Warbucks: Put it in your pocket, Mrs. Mudge.
- Miss Hannigan: Don't be so mean, you mean old meanie.
- Daddy Warbucks: Come my dear.
- Miss Hannigan: Let's you and me make, why shouldn't we make hey.
- Daddy Warbucks: I've got an appointment at one.
- Miss Hannigan: This way. You every been to Bonus Iree?
- Daddy Warbucks: Where?
- Miss Hannigan: I hunger for the Ar-gen-tine
- Daddy Warbucks: Argen-teena.
- Miss Hannigan: Let's you and me fill up our diaries!
- Daddy Warbucks: What? Stop!
- Miss Hannigan: Buy me a ruby.
- Daddy Warbucks: No!
- Miss Hannigan: Why shouldn't you be mine?
- Annie: [while tearing up the check] Mr. Warbucks will eat your livers!
- Rooster: I'll kill ya, ya little brat. I'll kill ya!
- Miss Hannigan: [to herself] He's really gonna kill her!
- [while chasing Rooster and Annie]
- Miss Hannigan: Rooster! Rooster stop! Rooster, she's a baby!
- Daddy Warbucks: I never thought I'd get used to a girl.
- Annie: Girls are easier to get used to than boys. Look how used to Miss Farrell you are. She does all the work around here, and you don't even know her first name.
- Daddy Warbucks: I do, it's Grace.
- Annie: She thinks you're the greatest thing since sliced bread.
- Daddy Warbucks: [surprised] I beg your pardon?
- Annie: I know it's none of my business, but you never notice anything!
- Miss Hannigan: I bet you Miss Sticky Fingers here can loan you a lousy five bucks.
- Lily: I beg your pardon, I'm sure, but I don't stoop to what you're incineratin'.
- Miss Hannigan: Give me back my goods, toots.
- [Lily hands Miss Hannigan the jewelry that she had been holding. Miss Hannigan clears her throat and stares at Lily's chest. Lily then pulls the rest of the jewelry out of her dress]
- Annie: [sings] It's the Hard Knock Life for us.
- Orphans: [sings] It's the hard knock life for us / 'Steada treated we get tricked! / 'Steada kisses we get kicked! / It's the Hard Knock Life!
- Annie: The sun'll come out tomorrow, so you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow. Come what may. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, Tomorrow. You're only a day away.
- Daddy Warbucks: You'll sit out this century in some deep, dark penitentiary.
- Miss Hannigan: Jail?
- Daddy Warbucks: Sign.
- Miss Hannigan: I geuss this means I'll never know the feeling of running fingers through your hair.
- Daddy Warbucks: You'll rot in jail. In Sing-Sing.
- Miss Hannigan: I guess this means no Bonus Iree.
- Daddy Warbucks: Will you sign?
- Annie: Pepper lies a lot. She probably hasn't been to a movie, either. Actually, I think it's better when you don't know what you're missing.
- Daddy Warbucks: Punjab, buy out the 8:00 show. Let's all go to the movies.
- Miss Hannigan: What did you say your name was?
- Grace: Grace Farrell
- Miss Hannigan: Ah, Grace, aptly name.
- Rooster: Easy Street. Easy Street. Annie is the key.
- Miss Hannigan: Yessiree.
- Lily: Yessiree.
- Rooster: Yessiree.
- Miss Hannigan: [as she looks at the diamond pin Daddy Warbucks is wearing] My God, is that thing real?
- FDR: I want to feed them and house them and pay them. Not much, but enough to send home to their parents. So they can hold their heads up again and be proud to be Americans.
- Annie: That's a swell idea.
- Daddy Warbucks: It isn't a swell idea, Annie. It's mistaken foolishness.
- Grace: Miss Hannigan. I am the private secretary to Oliver Warbucks.
- Miss Hannigan: The Oliver Warbucks? Oliver Warbucks, the millionaire?
- Grace: Oh no. Oliver Warbucks, the billionaire.
- Miss Hannigan: Mary, mother of God.
- Miss Hannigan: What do we say, Annie?
- Annie: I love you Miss Hannigan.
- [Jumps from the bed on to her foot]

- Chorus: [sings] Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love ya, Tomorrow. You're only a day away!
