The Darkest Parts Of Annie That Nobody Talks About

The orphans hear of Miss Hannigan's plan for Rooster and his girlfriend to pose as Annie's parents. Miss Hannigan actually knows that her parents are dead, and for some odd reason the cops brought all of her biological parents' stuff to the orphanage, but don't pull Annie aside to tell her of their death in a fire. The orphans try to escape to warn Annie and the adults lock them in a closet, which is effed up. But that's not even the worst part. Rooster and what's-her-name show up, have the other half of the locket and the birth certificate, and that's enough for Warbucks to reluctantly give up the kid, and the check. Thank goodness the other orphans show up to tell Warbucks that something's rotten.

As the president is instructed by Warbucks to put "every G Man east of the Mississippi" on the lookout for Annie, the kiddo is trapped in a car with Rooster, what's-her-name and Miss Hannigan, set for Atlantic City, because where else would you go if you have a check (made out to someone who is not you) for $50K? Annie escapes with the check, rips it up, and Rooster chases after her, saying he's going to kill her. Miss Hannigan looks seriously alarmed and says that she's just a baby. She actually says, "He's really going to kill her." And he sets out to do so. He chases her up a wicked-high ladder on a bridge, with murderous intent. Once they reach the top, he actually tries to drop her off the really high bridge. Dark.
