Hugo Cabret:
[Angry and disappointed that the automaton hasn't written anything of sense]
What an idiot! Thinking I could fix it! Isabelle:
Hugo... [Hugo looses his composure and begins smashing various items in the room] Hugo Cabret:
It's broken! It's always been broken! [Sits in chair, covers his face and begins to cry] Isabelle:
Hugo, it doesn't have to be like this. You can fix it. Hugo Cabret:
[crying]
You don't... you don't understand. I thought... I thought if I could fix it... then I wouldn't be so alone. [Hugo's sobs fill the room. Suddenly, the machine begins to draw again] Isabelle:
Hugo, Hugo look! It... it's not done! [they watch as the automaton begins to draw a picture] Hugo Cabret:
[voice breaking]
It's not writing! It... it's drawing! [they see it is a scene from the movie "A Trip to the Moon."] Hugo Cabret:
That's the movie my Father saw! [the automaton signs Georges Méliès'name] Isabelle:
