* [[Enemy Mine]]: Annie decides that while she might not like the corrupt Phil O. Bluster, she needs to work with him to help "Daddy" Warbucks.
* [[Evil Debt Collector]]: Mr. Pinchpenny, who has his sights set on the Futiles.
* [[Extra! Extra! Read All About It!]]: Annie says this kind of thing during the period when she works as a newspaper salesperson.
* [[Fall Guy]]: When Z.Z. Hare steals Warbucks' money that was going to be used to pay off Warbucks' debts, people assume that Warbucks had Hare hide the money, even though poor old Warbucks is really the [[Fall Guy]] chosen by Hare's partner in crime, who knew Warbucks would be blamed.

To the point where Annie is happy to stay out of the government-sponsored orphanages and suffer on the streets, so she doesn't "sponge off taxpayer money".
