"Gagasan pergi ke bioskop membuat Hugo mengingat sesuatu yang pernah diceritakan Ayah kepadanya tentang pergi ke bioskop ketika dia masih kecil, ketika film-film itu baru. Ayah Hugo masuk ke ruangan gelap, dan di layar putih dia melihat roket terbang tepat ke mata lelaki di bulan. Ayah berkata dia belum pernah mengalami hal seperti itu. Rasanya seperti melihat mimpinya di tengah hari."

The idea of going to the movies made Hugo remember something Father had once told him about going to the movies when he was just a boy, when the movies were new. Hugo's father had stepped into a dark room, and on a white screen he had seen a rocket fly right into the eye of the man in the moon. Father said he had never experienced anything like it. It had been like seeing his dreams in the middle of the day.
