because of a flower

that cannot be seen.

Because of a flower

that cannot be seen?

Your rose!

I have a rose...

I see you've found my collection,

501,622,731 stars.

You? You did this?

But you're supposed

to just count the stars.

Own! Say it with me.

Own. I own the stars.

Thank you. Thank you.

They used to be merely

little golden objects in the sky

that set lazy men to idle dreaming.

But now, the stars

have finally been made essential.

Where did you get that?

She's curious.

Isn't that just like a child?

No!

Thank you.

All right! Enough.

- Thank you.

- All right!

Enough!

What are you going to do

with all the stars?

Don't worry, my little girl.

I put the stars to good use.

There. You see? The inessential has

become perfectly essential.

How it should be for all things.

Take her back to the classroom.

Make sure no one interferes.

- No! Put me down. I can't...

- Stop!

- Don't let them do this to me.

- I said stop.

- Wait.

- Wait?

I've given you 371 jobs,

and you have been fired

from 370 of them.

I think it's time you get back to work,

my little failure.

No! Leave him!

Stop wriggling.

Stop!

- Take your hands off her.

- What? Stop?

I'm not a failure. I'm...

I'm the Little Prince.

What?

He thinks he's little, and a prince!

Wonderful.

Look at me! I'm a bumble bee.

What are you? A duck?

He's hopeless.

I'm not hopeless, I'm hopeful!

That's right! I'm full of hope!

And I love a rose!

And she loves me,

and she is waiting for me!

So...

I don't think I want to work

for you any more.

So...

I quit!

I quit!

That pile!

When are you going to forget about

being a child?

Never!

Sorry, Mr Prince!

No, it's my fault.

My face shouldn't have been there.

Good.

No.

I'm scared.

Hang on!

- I'll be right back!

- Where are you going?

Wait! Where are you going?

That's not good.

I will grow up, but I'll never

be a grown-up like you!

Wow!

No!

Got you!

I got you, too.

Wonderful.

This is very, very bad for business.

That was amazing!

The stars are back.

I forgot how beautiful they are.

- Look! Asteroid 325!

- You remember!

And 326!

And 327!

And 328!

It's working!

Look! B-612!

The baobabs.

Your rose! She's there!

Hold on!

You're not going to try and land,

are you?

No, stop! Turn around! Stop!

What's happening?

I think we're falling.

- Where are you going now?

- Sit still.

Let's go.

Over here! I found her!

Look.

My rose.

It's her.

No...

No, how can this be?

I'm so sorry.

You're supposed to be with her.

I'm going to lose him, too.

And grow up.

And forget all about him.

Forget everything

forever.

I don't want to lose him.

Don't cry.

How can you not be crying?

I can see her.

She was not a common rose.

She was the only one of her kind

in the whole universe.

I remember her.

I remember all of it.

She's not gone.

She's still here?

It is only with the heart

that one can see rightly.

What is essential is invisible to the eye.

He'll always be with me.

I understand now.

- Please tell the Aviator I remember him!

- I will!

Don't forget.

I won't!

I won't forget any of it! I promise.

Sweetie?

Yes?

- We're late.

- What?

No, we're not.

We need to stop by the hospital

before school.

122, 123, 124...

Okay.

You're here.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry for what I said.

I don't even remember.

That's sweet.

No, I don't even remember who you are.

I got you, didn't I?

I've got something to show you.

You did this?

All my drawings, all in order?

This is so wonderful.

Sweetheart.

"You run the risk of weeping a little,

if you let yourself get tamed."

You're going to make

a wonderful grown-up.

Thank you.

Did you see this?

It's wonderful.

Look. You see? That's the fox.

My fox.

The End.

You probably think

this is a hat, but it's not.
