Remember, kids, only members of...
:49:02
Annie's secret circle
can decode Annie's secret message.
:49:06
Remember, Annie is depending on you.
:49:10
Set your pins to B-2.
:49:13
Here is the message.
:49:15
12. 1 1. 2...
:49:17
I am in my first secret meeting.
:49:19
... 25. 14. 1 1. 18.
:49:23
16. 23...
:49:24
Pierre was in great voice tonight.
:49:26
I could tell that tonight's message
was really important.
:49:30
... 3. 25.
:49:31
That's a message from Annie herself.
Remember, don't tell anyone.
:49:39
Ninety seconds later
I'm in the only room in the house...
:49:42
where a boy of nine can sit in privacy
and decode.
:49:48
Ah! "B." I went to the next.
:49:51
"E." The first word is "be"!
:49:54
"S." It was coming easier now. "U."
:49:59
Come on, Ralphie! I gotta go.
:50:03
I'll be right down, Ma.
:50:04
Gee whiz.
:50:08
''T. O.''
:50:11
"Be sure to." Be sure to what?
:50:14
What was Little Orphan Annie
trying to say? Be sure to what?
:50:17
Ralphie! Randy has got to go!
Will you please come out?
:50:20
All right, Ma! I'll be right out!
:50:23
I was getting closer now.
:50:25
The tension was terrible. What was it?
:50:28
The fate of the planet
may hang in the balance.
:50:30
Ralphie! Randy's gotta go!
:50:33
I'll be right out, for crying out loud!
:50:36
Almost there! My fingers flew.
:50:39
My mind was a steel trap.
:50:41
Every pore vibrated.
:50:43
It was almost clear.
:50:45
Yes!
:50:53
Ovaltine?
:50:58
A crummy commercial?
