Sometimes Life Is Just Like The Movie

Jude: [singing] Is there anybody going to listen to my story all about the girl who came to stay? She’s the kind of girl you want so much, it makes you sorry. Still, you don’t regret a single day. Aw, girl. Girl…

Hugo Cabret: I’d imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn’t be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. 

Hugo Cabret: Maybe that’s why a broken machine always makes me a little sad, because it isn’t able to do what it was meant to do… Maybe it’s the same with people. If you lose your purpose… it’s like you’re broken.

Tommy: Oh! By the way, why did you take your door off its lovely hinges?
Dylan: It was dumb, man. Something I saw in management book.
Tommy: Oh! Right! Right! Like that’s how Warren Buffett got rich. He took doors off of things! Hey, everybody wants a short cut in life. My guide book is very simple. You wanna lose weight? Stop eating, fatty! You wanna make money? Work your ass off, lazy! You wanna be happy? Find someone you like and never let him go. Or her if you’re into that kinda of…creepy shit.

Mr. Harper: You know, my friends used to say, that when Dee Dee and I looked at each other, it was electric. And I…I let her go. I just let her go. Because I was too damn proud to tell her how I really felt about her. I’ll tell you something, that I wish I knew when I was your age. And I know you’ve heard it a million times life is short. But let me tell you something. What this…this…
[referring to his Alzheimer’s and pointing to his head]
Mr. Harper: …is teaching me, is that life is God damn short and you can’t waste a minute of it!

Shen: How did you find peace? I took away your parents, everything, I scarred you for life… 
Po: See that’s the thing, Shen, scars heal. 
Shen: No they don’t… *wounds* heal. 
Po: Oh, yeah… what do scars do? They fade, I guess… 
Shen: I don’t care what scars do…! 
Po: You should, Shen. You got to let go of the stuff from past - because it just doesn’t matter! The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now.

Jamie Randall: Sometimes the things you want the most don’t happen and what you least expect happens. I don’t know - you meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet one person and your life is changed forever.
