Scene 1: (Pilot/Grown-ups)
Radio sounds and digital calls for help are there too.
PILOT wordlessly grabs a tiny notebook and a pen from her breast
pocket.
She writes and speaks absent-mindedly.
PILOT slowly stands up. She walks over and examines the plane.
PILOT pockets the notebook and walks over to the broken plane.

Verse 3
Chorus
Music Stop.
The lights dim and turn blue, signifying the deep night.
LITTLE PRINCE steps back, and the PILOT finally jolts into
attention.
PILOT stands up, and LITTLE PRINCE scoots away alongside her
movements.
LITTLE PRINCE holds the scarf on his neck with both hands.
PILOT looks stunned for a moment, until she hastens to bring out
her notebook.
PILOT: This?
PILOT tears the paper off the notebook and hands it to LITTLE
PRINCE.
Music stops.
PILOT: Yes.
LITTLE PRINCE looks down at the paper in his hand, then scoots
closer to examine the plane.
He is ignoring PILOT.
PILOT: (persistent) But you can’t have come from a far away
place. This is the farthest anyone can go
to.
LITTLE PRINCE: You are very funny, madame. That is not possible.
LITTLE PRINCE: You must have a very big house then. Whatever
do you need for?
LITTLE PRINCE: But why would you need to hide? From where I
live, you will always get a glimpse of your
neighbor whether you like it or not!
PILOT accidentally slips her hand from the tool, hurting her
finger in the process.
PILOT: (sighs) The thorns exist because they just do. They have
no use. Flowers are spiteful like that.
PILOT interrupts.

PILOT: The more I thought about it, the more it made sense.
TURKISH ASTRONOMER: Why? Because it’s too small for our eyes
to see!
PILOT: Once again, draped in an outfit far away from what she
once was, the astronomer demonstrated her findings.
GROWN-UPS clap.
Scene 2: (Rose)
The planet is rocky, and there are two small volcanoes on the
ground. The volcano is not higher than the ankles.
LITTLE PRINCE is poking through one of the volcanoes.
He raises his head to watch the PAINTED SKY.
There are three volcanoes on the stage. They are very small.
They don’t reach past the ankles.
Verse 2: LITTLE PRINCE sings about the new seed that gets
planted on the soil.
Some extras should act out the seed getting planted on the soil.
This leads to a small, fake rose slowly growing from the ground.
The scene ends with the fake rose being replaced by ROSE
herself.
The ROSE will slowly emerge just before the LITTLE PRINCE
finishes singing the chorus
ROSE reaches for the sky with her hands, and will look around
BALLAD will STOP PLAYING
ROSE puffs out her petals and finally takes one long look at
LITTLE PRINCE.
ROSE, calling out: And oh! I want a scarf too. I don't want my
beauty to perish because I got too cold.
ROSE crosses her arms and turns her back away from LITTLE
PRINCE.
LITTLE PRINCE walks toward ROSE, and wraps the scarf around her
gently.
LITTLE PRINCE walks to the side and takes his time searching for
the glass dome.
ROSE, sad: Who will stay here and care for me when you
are
gone?
ROSE hugs herself and turns away. She makes exaggerated crying
noises while covering her face.
ROSE stops crying. She looks at LITTLE PRINCE and feels guilty.
ROSE, sad: You would fetch it for me even when I’m like
this.
ROSE turns away and wraps the scarf tightly around her.
From the other side of the KING, the LITTLE PRINCE will come
out.
LITTLE PRINCE walks but not enough (middle of the stage) to meet
the KING in his throne.
KING: Then come over here so that I may see you much
better!
KING stutters.
LITTLE PRINCE fidgets with his fingers and look around the
THRONE ROOM.
KING, hastily: But once 30 minutes had passed, you will see
how well I am obeyed by my subjects!
LITTLE PRINCE slowly stands up, while the KING visibly panics.
LITTLE PRINCE tries to walk away but the KING is still blocking
him.
LITTLE PRINCE sighs but still waits for the KING to start
speaking
LITTLE PRINCE looks tired when CONCEITED MAN tells him that
CONCEITED MAN takes out a mini mirror and fixes his hat.
LITTLE PRINCE: But you are the only man on your planet!
LITTLE PRINCE takes the paper, looks down at it, and sighs.

Part 3: Earth
Scene 1: (Snake)
It’s MORNING
“Who are you—-Who are you—-Who are you?” answers the echo.
LITTLE PRINCE: Oh! Good Morning! I didn’t see you there. Can you
tell me what planet I landed on?
LITTLE PRINCE: Oh. It is very empty and lonely. Don’t you get
lonely without people around you?
SNAKE: Ah~
SNAKE: Maybe so. But I can carry you farther than any
ship could take you.
SNAKE: But you are innocent. You are too sweet and
naive, and you come from a star…
SNAKE: The harsh world of Earth may become too much for
you.
LITTLE PRINCE: Oh, I understand what you mean. But can I ask a
question?
SNAKE: The same reason why people come look for what I
can give. It’s because I can solve the problem
that they face.
The lights slowly turns OFF.
Scene 2: (Fox)
There is an apple tree on the left side of the stage. From under
the apple tree, there’s a huge trail of bushes hiding the roots
of the tree.
This is where the fake rose garden will stand, and this is where
the FOX is hiding.
LITTLE PRINCE: They are roses, they said! But she is a rose
too! She is the only rose in my planet. But
if she sees that garden... she would be
annoyed.
LITTLE PRINCE clutches his chest, and he holds his head with his
other hand.
LITTLE PRINCE: Who are you? You are very pretty to look at.
FOX: I am Fox.
LITTLE PRINCE: I am looking for the humans here. What does tamed
mean?
LITTLE PRINCE: No. I am looking for friends. But what does tamed
mean?
After the song sequence, LITTLE PRINCE and FOX are sitting
beside each other.
FOX is lying on LITTLE PRINCE’s knees.
LITTLE PRINCE: It’s your own fault. I never wished you any sort
of harm; but you wanted me to tame you…
LITTLE PRINCE: Why do you act so calm about this? You are hurt,
and you’ll get nothing out of me taming you.
FOX falls back into the bush and hides from the audience.
Music stops.
Scene 3: (Pilot/Prince)
The scene starts in the DESERT again. But this time, there’s a
stone edge (this is where SNAKE will hide the entire time)
The lights spread. It will show PILOT who’s closing the bottle
of water at the other side of the stage.
LITTLE PRINCE: You told me you can solve all problems. You told
me you can bring me back to the stars.
LITTLE PRINCE: If you can bring me back to the stars, then I’m
asking you a favor. I want to see my rose again.
I want to be near my volcanoes again.
LITTLE PRINCE: So please... don’t make it hurt.
SNAKE’s hand will slowly come out of the stone edge. His hand
will roam near LITTLE PRINCE’s feet.
Silence.
LITTLE PRINCE: Tonight will be a year for me. Once the sun drops
from the sky, it will be the anniversary for my
descent to Earth.
LITTLE PRINCE: I’m glad I met you, and my fox, and I’m glad I
was able to get the sheep that you had drawn for
me.
LITTLE PRINCE takes the sketch and stares at it. His hand is
trembling slightly.
LITTLE PRINCE: It’s the same with the flowers. If you love a
flower on a star, you feel happy when you look at
the night sky.
LITTLE PRINCE: It’s the same with the waters. Because of your
kindness, even when I hid something from
you, the water you gave me was like music. You
remember how good it was, right?
PILOT: Can you tell me what star you live in? That way,
I’d know where I should look for you.
PILOT waits for a few seconds of silence. Then she raises his
hand, and releases it.
When PILOT sees LITTLE PRINCE limp and dead, she screams in
despair.
Scene 4: (Pilot/Grown-ups)
Instrumentals play.
PILOT: And then I remembered the secret that the Fox told
him.
One STAR starts descending from the stage. It’s the only star
with a light on it.
PILOT: I ask for those who had seen the journey of our little
prince. When you see the stars shining bright at the
night sky– when you see it smiling down at you
PILOT: I ask you to love that star with all of your might.
PILOT: He’s an important friend of mine. The only one who
understand me—- as if he had walked through my mind.
PILOT: These traces of the past makes me feel that he’s still
here. I can still hear his laugh that could rival the
warmth and brightness of the sun.
Lights turn OFF.
