The Orphans (Annie)

The Orphans are supporting characters from Annie. Not counting the protagonist, Annie, there are only six of them, and their names are Molly, Pepper, Kate, Duffy, Tessie and July.

Plot
Molly, the youngest orphan, is first heard calling for her mother, whom she had a nightmare about, only angering the rest of the orphans, resulting in a fight. Annie stops them and warns them that if Miss Hannigan wakes up, she'll get mad. Molly is then comforted by Annie, who later reads a note from her parents and then puts them back to bed. As Annie is about to search for her parents, worrying that they haven't found her yet. Pepper wakes up, and Annie tells her to watch out for Molly. Another orphan warns her about Miss Hannigan catching her, but Annie denies her doing so.

However, Miss Hannigan does catch Annie and brings her back to wake the other orphans. She tells the orphans to clean up the mess until it "shines like the top of the Chrysler Building" "as a little welcome-home party". They give her the wanted catchphrase and scrub the floors. Moments later, they strip the beds and put Molly in the laundry basket. They then bury her with the bed sheets. As Miss Hannigan enters and tells them "Good morning", all respond back together except Molly, who says it just immediately afterward, buried. Miss Hannigan tells her her days are numbered. They then greet Mr. Bundles and accept a clean sheet each. They secretly help Annie escape by hiding her in the laundry basket. They ask Miss Hannigan for their breakfast, but she refuses, telling her they can only have it later... after they have done a good job on this cleaning up. She assembles them for roll call, and any orphan just looked at answers, "I love you, Miss Hannigan." It is then that Miss Hannigan finds out that Annie is absent. Although Miss Hannigan is dismayed, the orphans are happy that she is gone, hoping that she has found her folks. They then celebrate with a pillow fight.
