Station Inspector
- Station Inspector: [to his dog while in the bath] If he is deceased, then who has been winding the clocks?
- [cut to reveal that the Inspector and the dog are in the bath together]
- Hugo Cabret: I've got to go!
- Station Inspector: You'll go nowhere until your parents are found.
- Hugo Cabret: I don't have any!
- Station Inspector: Then it's straight to the orphanage with you! You'll learn a thing or two there. I certainly did. How to follow orders, how to keep to yourself. How to survive without a family, because you don't need one! You don't need a family!
- [as Gustav makes a call to the orphanage, Hugo breaks out of the cell and escapes]
- Station Inspector: Demitasse, like everything else, must happen at the opportune moment. If we only knew when that moment was.
- Station Inspector: Seems Maximilian doesn't like the cut of your jib, little man. He is disturbed by your physiognomy. He is upset by your visage. Why would he not like your face?
- Station Inspector: Be quiet! Keep - Stop your sniffling, you little urchin - with your filthy little mitts.
- Policeman: Do you think it's mine?
- Station Inspector: What?
- Policeman: I don't know what to do. She's having a baby, you know.
- Station Inspector: Sure it's yours?
- Policeman: Well, who else's could it be?
- Station Inspector: Of course it's yours. When's the last time you had relations with her? Any time in the last year?
- Policeman: No, I don't think so.
- Station Inspector: Very suspicious, then.
- Station Inspector: I love poetry, just - not in the station. We're here to either get on trains or get off them. Or, work in different shops. Is that clear?
- Isabelle: Yes, sir.
- Station Inspector: Watch your step.
- Station Inspector: Those are lovely posies, those.
- Lisette: Thank you. Yes, they're from Gourdon. They come in on the overnight train, so they're very fresh.
- Station Inspector: Ah, Gourdon. Splendid country, that. Robust. The weather - the cows and such mooing. Perfectly formed udders. Are they - are they - are they smelly?
