What an idiot! Thinking I could fix it! Hugo... It's broken! It's always been broken!...

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: [amazed] Georges Méliès. That's Papa Georges name. Why would your Father's machine sign Papa Georges' name? Hugo Cabret: I don't know. [picks up drawing and looks at robot] Hugo Cabret: Thank you. [turns to Isabelle] Hugo Cabret: It was a message from my Father. And now I have to figure it out.
