The Little Prince Page #4

- Yes.

Look at that, the stars are out.

Wow.

They're so bright.

There are so many to look at.

And on a good day, if I listen carefully,

I can hear him laughing up there.

No! I have to go!

Sweetie? Where are you?

Hi.

Your desk is a mess.

Did you finish your study work for today?

No, not exactly.

What have you been doing?

I read a lot...

And I made a friend.

A friend?

No. No, no, no.

No.

Maybe...

Yes.

Okay.

FRIEND:

If you study hard and you stay

completely on track with the plan,

you can spend some time

with your new friend.

Next summer,

on Thursdays, from 1:00 to 1:30.

Okay? Can't wait to meet her.

"He found himself

in the neighbourhood of asteroids"

325, 326, 327,

"328, 329, 330..."

What?

Here's a subject.

Approach.

Sire, over what do you rule?

Over everything.

And the stars obey you?

They certainly do.

I do not tolerate indiscipline.

I would very much like to see a sunset.

It would remind me of my rose.

Order the sun to set.

You shall have your sunset.

I shall command it.

But I shall wait

until conditions are favourable.

When will that be?

Well, that will be about...

That will be this evening,

about 20 minutes to 9:00.

Good morning.

You're wearing a funny kind of hat.

What... It is a hat for salutes, actually.

To raise when people acclaim me.

Clap your hands, yeah.

Thank you. Thank you.

You see?

Do you really admire me very much?

Am I not the handsomest,

the best-dressed, the richest...

The most intelligent man on this planet?

But you're the only man on this planet.

Do me this kindness and...

Admire me just the same, please.

I own the stars...

I handle them.

I count them, then I recount them.

But what good does that do you?

Well, it makes me rich. How's that?

And what good does it

do you to be rich?

It makes it possible for me

to buy more stars.

Plus anything else you can think of.

Grown-ups are certainly very odd.

And check. Check. Check.

Check.

Check.

And check. And check.

Check...

Grown-ups are certainly very, very odd.

I've lived a great deal among grown-ups.

I have seen them up close.

And that hasn't much changed

my opinion of them.

Yes. I'm not so sure

I want to grow up any more.

Growing up is not the problem.

Forgetting is.

I definitely don't want to forget.

I managed to grow up

and I never forgot the Little Prince.

Yeah...

Good evening.

Good evening.

What planet is this?

This is Earth.

This is Africa.

Where are all the men?

It is a little lonely in the desert.

It is also lonely among men.

You are a funny animal.

You are no thicker than a finger.

But I am more powerful

than the finger of a king.

You haven't any feet.

You cannot even travel.
