MARK RUFFALO: Hello, I'm Mark.
MURRAY: And I'm Murray.
MARK RUFFALO: And we're here to tell you
about the word empathy.
MURRAY: Empathy.
Yes, empathy.
MARK RUFFALO: Tell them about the word empathy.
MURRAY: Um.
Oh.
MARK RUFFALO: What's wrong?
MURRAY: Well, you're not going to believe this, Mark.
MARK RUFFALO: What?
MURRAY: But I can't remember what empathy means.
MARK RUFFALO: No.
That's OK.
I'll tell them what empathy means.
MURRAY: Oh boy.
This is so exciting.
Mark Ruffalo is going to tell us about empathy.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
[GIGGLING].
MARK RUFFALO: Can I do it?
MURRAY: Please.
Go for it, Mark.
MARK RUFFALO: All right.
Empathy is when you're able to understand and care about how
someone else is feeling.
MURRAY: Oh.
Right.
That's what empathy is.
MARK RUFFALO: Yes.
Yes.
MURRAY: I don't get it.
MARK RUFFALO: What?
MURRAY: Hm.
Sorry.
MARK RUFFALO: OK.
OK.
Let me see if I can explain it to you in some way.
MURRAY: OK.
I'm going to listen.
MARK RUFFALO: Let's say I'm walking along, and oh, ow.
MURRAY: What?
MARK RUFFALO: I stubbed my toe.
Ahh.
That hurts.
MURRAY: Oh, you poor thing.
MARK RUFFALO: Murray.
Murray.
MURRAY: That hurts.
MARK RUFFALO: It hurts so much.
MURRAY: I can imagine exactly how you feel.
MARK RUFFALO: That's it!
MURRAY: What?
What?
What's it?
MARK RUFFALO: That's it.
That's empathy.
MURRAY: What's empathy?
MARK RUFFALO: You could imagine exactly how I feel.
You could understand just how it felt.
That's empathy.
MURRAY: I still don't get it.
MARK RUFFALO: What?
MURRAY: I still don't get it.
MARK RUFFALO: OK.
OK.
Let's think of another way.
MURRAY: OK.
Let's think of another way.
MARK RUFFALO: Um.
MURRAY: Thinking.
MARK RUFFALO: Oh, Murray.
MURRAY: What?
Did I tell you about that time when I lost my
favorite teddy bear?
MURRAY: Oh no.
MARK RUFFALO: It was--
MURRAY: This is very sad.
Did you love that teddy bear?
MARK RUFFALO: I loved that teddy bear.
MURRAY: I can imagine exactly how you feel.
It's a really sad feeling.
It makes me want to cry like this.
MARK RUFFALO: It was sad.
It was so sad.
But you know what?
MURRAY: What?
MARK RUFFALO: You know what empathy is.
MURRAY: I do?
MARK RUFFALO: That was empathy.
MURRAY: What?
MARK RUFFALO: You could understand how I was feeling,
exactly how I was feeling, and understood it.
That's empathy.
MURRAY: I get it now.
Yes.
Yes, I get it.
MARK RUFFALO: Yes.
Yes.
MURRAY: I understand empathy.
MARK RUFFALO: You understand empathy.
MURRAY: I'm so happy right now.
MARK RUFFALO: I'm happy too.
MURRAY: It makes me want to dance the dance of happiness.
MARK RUFFALO: I can imagine exactly how you feel.
I want to dance the dance of happiness too.
MURRAY: Then what are we waiting for?
BOTH: Let's do it.
Empathy!
