A scene from Hugo 2011
Hugo

[angry and disappointed that the automaton hasn't written anything of sense]

What an idiot! Thinking I could fix it!

Isabelle

Hugo...

Hugo

[Hugo loses his composure and desperately begins smashing various items in the room.]

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

[crying]

You don't... you don't understand. I thought... I thought if I could fix it... then I wouldn't be so alone.

Isabelle

[Hugo's sobs fill the room. Suddenly, the machine begins to draw again.]

Hugo, Hugo look! It... it's not done!

Hugo

[The two watch as the automaton begins to draw a picture.] [voice breaking]

It's not writing! It... it's drawing!

Hugo

[They see it is a scene from the movie "A Trip to the Moon."]

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

I don't know. [picks up drawing and looks at robot] Thank you. [turns to Isabelle] It was a message from my father. And now I have to figure it out.
