For Amélie her way to achieve happiness was through helping others. When she was trying to help her father she told him, “It's better to help people than a garden gnome”, because her father was more focused on maintaining his garden gnome than doing anything with his life.

So, go get him, for Pete's sake!” In this scenario Amélie had a crush on Nino Quincampoix an aspiring artist himself.
