Annie realizes that her "folks are never coming for [her]" and decides to find them by escaping, but is quickly thwarted by Miss Hannigan, the cruel woman who owns the orphanage. The children are forced to clean the orphanage at this early hour ("It's the Hard Knock Life"). When Bundles McCloskey, the laundryman, comes to pick up the orphan's sheets, Annie escapes in a laundry basket, and the orphans celebrate her escape ("It's the Hard Knock Life - Reprise").
