Orphans: We love you, Miss Hannigan.
Miss Hannigan: Shut up.
Annie: *yelling* Cut it out! I mean it! Do you want Miss Hannigan to come in here!? Go back to bed! *glares up at Pepper* Now, or you'll have me to deal with!
Pepper: Ah, blow it out your old wazoo.
Annie: Leaping lizards!
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Warbucks is talking to Miss Hannigan, he mentions adopting Annie. After the camera angle changes to see her reaction, the folded blue paperwork suddenly appears.
Question: Question regarding the search for Annie's parents: When Mr. Warbucks launches the nationwide search for Annie's parents using the best legal and investigative minds of the day, should they not have discovered that said parents died in a fire? The authorities somehow knew there was an abandoned child and where to send the parents' "junk", and Miss Hannigan was informed of the deaths. Obviously, someone knew Annie was at the orphanage and whose child she was. How did Warbucks' top notch team of private eyes miss that?

Answer: Mrs. Hannigan's box of Annie's parents' things might have the only record of her birth certificate. This is the 1930s, after all. Paper records went missing all the time.
