Hugo: "Everything has its own meaning, just like those machines. Clocks indicate the time, and train people travel long distances. They do what they are supposed to do. Just like Mr. Rabis. Maybe that's why. Broken machines make me sad. They don’t do what they should do. Maybe humans are the same. If you lose the purpose of life, you are like a broken machine.”

Isabella: “Fix things, that’s Is the meaning of your life?”

Hugo: “I don’t know. I did this because my father did it.”

Isabella: “I’m very curious about the meaning of my life. I don’t know, maybe I understand. After my parents (work), I will understand."

Hugo: "After my father died, I often came here. I imagined the whole world as a big machine. Machines never need extra parts. Every part of them is indispensable. So I think, if the whole world is a big machine, as a member of this world, it must be indispensable. I came to this world, there must be my existence The reason. So are you."

Meili Ai: "I am standing here today to thank a brave young man. He found a broken machine and worked hard to repair it. This is what I have seen in my life. The kindest magic ever."
