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.

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!
