Quote #7
Between Hugo’s injured hand and Isabelle’s sprained foot, it was extremely difficult for them to get up the staircase and the ladder, but they each helped each other and at last they came to the glass clocks that overlooked the city. (2.6.30)
Soon, they’re trusting and even helping each other out. Hugo even shows Isabelle the view of the city from the glass clocks—something that he’s never showed anyone else before. It’s obvious that he considers her a friend by now, because friends share moments like these.
Quote #8

Friendship ain’t all roses and butterflies. The death of Georges Méliès’s dear friends is what pushes him over the edge and into his life of depression and full-on curmudgeondom.
Quote #9
He had a little drawer just for the ticket stubs of the movies he and Isabelle saw together. (2.11.2)
How sweet! By the end of the book, Hugo and Isabelle aren’t bickering at all (well… maybe). Instead, they’re going to the World's Fair and seeing movies together. They’ve become true chums.
