Hugo

Georges Méliès: What are you doing with all these? And the other one.
 * [Hugo watches the people in the train station from inside a massive clock, one day he notices a toy shop owner fiddle with a toy mouse and sees the old man fall asleep, so he sneaks to steal the mouse but gets caught by the shop owner]
 * Georges Méliès: Got you at last! Its’ not the first time you’ve stolen from me, is it? My little thief! Quick, empty your pockets.
 * Hugo Cabret: You’re hurting me!
 * Georges Méliès: Empty your pockets or I’ll call the station inspector. Do as I say!
 * [reluctantly Hugo puts the contents of his pocket on the counter, a pile of assorted metal gears, springs, and screws]
 * Hugo Cabret: There’s nothing in it.
 * Georges Méliès: [shouting] Where’s the station inspector?
 * [Hugo takes out a small leather-bound notebook and places it on the counter]
 * [Méliès opens Hugo’s notebook and sees it’s filled with hand drawn mechanical diagrams and a flip book animation of what looks like a face of a robot]
 * Georges Méliès: Ghosts. Did you draw these pictures?
 * [Hugo doesn’t reply]
 * Georges Méliès: Did you draw these pictures? Where did you steal this?
 * Hugo Cabret: I didn’t steal it.
 * Georges Méliès: A thief and a liar. Get out of here.
 * Hugo Cabret: Give me my book!
 * Georges Méliès: It isn’t your notebook, it is my notebook and I’ll do with it what I like! Maybe I’ll just burn it!
 * Hugo Cabret: No!
 * Georges Méliès: Then tell me who did the drawings!
 * [Méliès slams the notebook onto the counter]
 * Georges Méliès: Get out of here you little thief!
 * [Méliès voice echoes through the station speakers and the station inspector hears this]
 * Georges Méliès: Why are you still here? Get out!
 * [the station inspector releases his dog and chases after Hugo, leaving a trail of destruction behind them, but Hugo manages to disappear into a concealed heating duct]
 * [Méliès is closing his shop]
 * Georges Méliès: I know you’re there.
 * [he turns around and faces Hugo]
 * Georges Méliès: What’s your name, boy?
 * Hugo Cabret: Hugo. Hugo Cabret.
 * Georges Méliès: Stay away from me, Hugo Cabret. Or I’ll drag you to the station inspector’s office, he would lock you up in his little cell and you’ll never get out. You’ll never go to school, you’ll never get married and have children of your own to take things that don’t belong to them.
 * Hugo Cabret: Give me back my notebook.
 * Georges Méliès: I’m going home to burn your notebook.
 * [Méliès leaves and Hugo follows him]
 * Hugo Cabret: You can’t burn my notebook!
 * Georges Méliès: And who’s to stop me?
 * [after Hugo follows Méliès to his home, Hugo tosses pebbles at the bedroom window of the young girl he’d seen earlier in the station and pleads her to come down]
 * Isabelle: Who are you?
 * Hugo Cabret: Your grandfather stole my notebook. I’ve got to get it back before he burns it.
 * Isabelle: Papa Georges isn’t my grandfather and he isn’t a thief. You’re the thief. You’re nothing but a…reprobate. You have to go.
 * Hugo Cabret: Not without my notebook.
 * Isabelle: Why do you need it so badly?
 * Hugo Cabret: I can’t tell you.
 * Isabelle: Is it a secret?
 * Hugo Cabret: Yes.
 * Isabelle: Oh, good! I love secrets. Tell me this instant.
 * Hugo Cabret: No!
 * Isabelle: Well, if you won’t tell me you’ll have to leave.
 * Hugo Cabret: Not without my notebook!
 * Isabelle: Shhh! I’ll get in trouble. Just go home!
 * [Hugo crosses his arms not moving an inch]
 * Isabelle: Alright. I’ll make sure he doesn’t burn your notebook. Now go!
 * [Hugo nods his head, turns and runs]
 * [inside the clock he lives in, Hugo looks at the robot he keeps with him and has flashback of his first memory of the robot]
 * Hugo Cabret: What is it?
 * Hugo’s father: It’s called an automaton.
 * Hugo Cabret: An au…automaton?
 * Hugo’s father: I found him abandoned in the attic at the museum.
 * Hugo Cabret: What does he do?
 * Hugo’s father: He’s a wind up figure, like a music box. This is the most complicated one I’ve ever seen by far. See this one…this one can write.
 * [he places table in front of the robot and put its hand on the table]
 * Hugo’s father: He must have been made in London.
 * Hugo Cabret: Where mother was from.
 * Hugo’s father: She was from Coventry, but she moved to London. Magicians used machines like this when I was a boy. Some walked, some danced, some sang, but the secret was always in the clock work.
 * [referring to the robot]
 * Hugo Cabret: Can we fix him?
 * Hugo’s father: Oh, I don’t know, Hugo. He’s badly rusted and finding parts to fit will be very hard.
 * [Hugo looks disappointed]
 * Hugo’s father: Of course we can fix him. We’re clock makers, aren’t we?
 * [he hugs Hugo]
 * Hugo’s father: But only after I finish my work at the shop and at the museum. Mmm? You understand.
 * [we see how Hugo and his father spend time fixing the robot]
 * [to Hugo pointing to the heart shape key hole on the robot]
 * Hugo’s father: Do you see this? Another complication. Another mystery.
 * Hugo Cabret: But it makes you happy.
 * Hugo’s father: Mmm. A key hole in the shape of a heart. Unfortunately, we don’t have the key.
 * [we see Hugo’s father open his notebook containing drawings of the robot and he draws the key hole]
 * [after we see Hugo’s father die in the museum from a fire, Hugo unaware sits and works on the robot when his uncle arrives]
 * Uncle Claude: There was a fire. Your father’s dead. Pack your things quickly, you’re coming with me.
 * [Hugo looks shocked and very upset]
 * Uncle Claude: Quick!
