Hey, Mikey, if I wasn't in such great shape, could I do this?
That's stupid.
What if something goes wrong?
It's not.
Look, I'm not scared.
Hey, I got two kidneys.
You only need one.
No big deal, kiddo.
Stop it.
-Really? -Whoa, sugar, are you all right?
Yeah.
What the heck is the matter with that guy.
Let me straighten you up here, sweetheart.
Jake.
I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to help.
Yeah, you just keep your hands to yourself.
You know, I try, but sometimes they just get away from me.
I gotta go.
You knock 'em dead, huh?
Not that it'll matter.
And you've gotta believe in yourself a little bit.
You're gonna do fine.
I know. Thanks.
We believe in you.
I can smell the wind of change a-coming.
Maybe that's just Wilbur.
Action is the key to all success.
That Sophocles?
Picasso.
Who writes this stuff?
Are you kidding me?
in our schools?
And the actors through these wild parties which included--
now get this-- wifeswapping!
What the is that?
You're buying their movies!
Think about it!
You know what I think we oughta do?
Cock the gun, blow their brains out!
Booyah! No more--
-Miss Louis? -Yes.
Katie Dawkins. I'm here for the interview.
Oh, right.
Have a seat.
You've got 10 minutes.
Sell me.
OK.
Your latest viewer poll shows that 67%
of Boulder Tonight's viewers want
more positive news stories.
Yet, your-- your show continues to fill
the air with political unrest, celebrity scandal, crime--
You think you're going to get a job here by telling
me what I'm doing wrong? -No.
Which satellite do you want for the Bloomboy story?
Chris already knows.
Ask him about it.
No, there just might be space for more a upbeat story.
Look, I've done my research.
Just let me show you one interview.
I know I have a story here.
I have nine minutes left, don't I?
Yeah. OK.
Our research has shown that the same deep brain structures that
are activated when we receive a reward, like money or food,
those very same brain areas are activated
even more when we give to an organization that we support.
That's a great study.
Paid for with our tax studies, I assume.
He's the chief scientist at the National Institute of Health.
They just published his study.
Wow, that's-- that's really great.
Terry--
Katie Dawkins, Mike Wilson, our lead segment producer.
Terry, I need to talk to you.
Wait your turn.
So what's your angle?
Sorry?
Your angle?
Your lead?
For the first time, we have scientific proof from the NIH
that living a compassionate life and treating people
- with kindness can actually-- - Oh my god.
Are you kidding me?
Make you happy.
- Who else do you have? - Oh come on.
Tell me you've get some politicians, celebrities,
hot models, anything?
You can't come in here with one scientist and tell us
- you've nailed down a story. - Mike, that's enough.
How about Deepak Chopra?
You have Deepak?
Not yet, but I spoke with his assistant,
and he's going to be in town this week.
Oh, you spoke with assistant.
That's great.
Why don't you go interview my-- my cousin Al too?
OK? Don't waste our time.
Look, Terry.
Miss Dawkins, I'll give you a shot.
Strictly freelance until you prove yourself.
No, no, no. That-- that's fluff.
We don't do fluff, OK?
Your rules, not mine.
Well, maybe we should start.
I mean, she's a rookie. Look at her.
I know.
That's where you come in.
Oh, no, no, no, There's no way that you--
Stop.
You know that weekend anchor position?
Ah, you wouldn't dare.
What about the Senator?
Mike, I need an experienced reporter on this.
Full story, ready for a rundown, 5 o'clock Saturday,
not a minute late.
And it better knock my socks off.
What we discovered was that the reward systems of the brain,
which are located very deep in primitive brain areas,
were activated when people received
money, which is expected.
Other researchers have shown that same thing
for many decades now.
However, what surprised us was when people donated
to nonprofit organizations, were willing to give money,
to take it from their own savings that we gave them
and donate it to an organization,
the same reward systems in the brain became activated.
And not only were they activated in a similar way,
they were actually more activated than when
people simply received money.
So that was a big surprise to us.
There is a feeling of euphoria that many people
describe giving back to people, doing charity work, and so on.
Good morning.
Ah, you're always bringing us fresh coffee.
And you're always taking it.
Well, I wouldn't wanna be rude.
So where's the job interview today?
No interview.
I got the job, Boulder Tonight.
You mean those guys over at--
Hey, it's a job, isn't it?
Besides, if I didn't get one soon,
I know someone who'd be out of their morning coffees.
I like my coffee like I like my women-- in a plastic cup.
Where does he get these?
I dunno.
One day, it's Albert Einstein.
The next day, it's Eddie Izzard.
All right, guys. I gotta go.
Well, you know 'em dead, sweetie.
Thank you.
You know, she ain't bad.
No, not her.
The new girl over there.
Oh, it's been a long time since I rock n' rolled.
Albert Einstein?
Led Zeppelin.
You know, I never know with you.
You're wondering if I'll miss you.
Oh, in my heart, you'll always be there every step of the way.
I'm so gonna miss you.
You're my best friend in the whole world.
Believe me when I tell you, you're so incredible.
Don't you know you're unforgettable?
We've known for over 20 years that people
who are compassionate and empathic with other people
have a sense of fulfillment.
They have what has been called the helper's high.
Mind if I drive?
I guess not.
I need tighter, shorter cuts if you're ever
gonna get this on here, OK?
I assume you have some B roll for this?
Put it right in there.
People who do volunteer work, compassionate, empathic work
in which they deeply care for someone else,
have not only a sense of well being,
often a sense of euphoria, they also have increase
in their health profiles.
They get sick less.
That's better.
Thank you.
Yeah, whatever.
So who else do you have in the can?
Well, we have Dr. Dossey, and Dr. Grafman.
OK.
So I guess the rest of the interviews
are just gonna magically appear.
Nice.
I believe in this story.
Oh, that's nice, Katie. All right.
We don't have time for this, OK?
We-- we need names.
We need big names.
And we have, like, five days to get this going, I don't know--
Katie Dawkins?
That's rude.
Yes.
No, thank you for calling me back.
That would be great.
No, of course.
Thank you.
Yes, thank you so much.
Can we use the studio?
Why?
That was Deepak Chopra.
On your phone?
Yeah, he had time before his lecture tonight at CU.
He's on his way over.
Wait, wait, wait.
How did you get Deepak to call you on your--
I told you.
I asked his assistant.
So you brown-nosed.
No, I told you.
I was nice.
Like I said, you brown-nosed.
Giving and receiving are part of the circulation
process of the universe.
That's how it keeps itself recycling.
And so, yes, giving people appreciation, attention,
affection, love, helping others through their suffering
actually improves your health.
When you have the experience that
is the intoxication of love--
So you were nice?
Why is that so hard for you to believe?
That just doesn't usually work in the real world.
That's all.
Your body simultaneously secretes serotonin.
Just give yourself a few years in this business,
and we'll see. All right.
So what's next on the agenda?
There is the peace conference in Estes Park on Friday.
Peace conference?
Do I have to repeat everything I say?
Yes, when it's dumb enough to demand repeating.
All right?
We're not going to a peace conference.
It's-- it's the wrong direction.
Serotonin is a hormone that totally makes you feel happy.
How can a peace conference be in the wrong direction?
Look, we already have the warm, fuzzy fluff, OK?
We need some dirt!
The Dalai Lama is speaking.
What if we could get him?
You can't.
What if we could?
Maybe we could get the house video feed.
OK.
We won't.
All right?
We're not going to Estes.
Some people are afraid to sort of sacrifice.
They're worried about their own well being, their own status.
And that's understandable.
But I think what they need to know if they don't do this very
often is, you're bound to feel better,
and to feel good when you engage in generous activity.
And it's not something simply symbolic,
or something to talk about.
You'll actually feel good.
OK, we have Sue Shapiro and Bettie Youngs.
We have appointments tomorrow.
No, you have appointments tomorrow.
I didn't set those up.
We still need more B roll.
You need dirt, OK?
All you have so far is fluff. All right?
There's no controversy, no scandal.
Where are your shouting heads? -My what?
Your shouting heads!
You need a-- you need a Bill O'Reilly, a Chris Matthews.
Where's you Bucky Frank?
You have gotta be kidding.
I didn't ask you.
Am I supposed to care?
Who is Bucky Frank?
He's some ass on YouTube.
He is the voice of the fringe, and he
has a huge national audience!
Yeah, and he's just plain mean.
Exactly, a shouting head.
That's what you need for your interview.
I don't think that's the direction we wanna go.
OK, well, why don't you go shoot your fluff interviews,
and I'm gonna go find a real source.
Anything we do to turn our minds
and our hearts in a positive direction,
including actually doing actions for others,
will have immense benefits.
And it goes further than just us, but it starts with us.
Next time you're in a shopping mall, look at another person,
and say to yourself, you know, that person has-- had parents,
or had parents, just like me.
That person has people who love him or her, just like me.
That person has moments of anxiety, just like me.
That person goes through trials and tribulations, just like me.
That person will get old one day, and get sick one day,
and will die one day just, like me.
That person's just like me.
Maybe that person is me.
And then you will feel the compassion.
There is so much negativity out there.
We witness so much uncaring activity
that when we witness some caring moment,
it's as if the world gets put right back in balance.
It's as if, yes, that's how it's meant to be here.
And we feel better.
It's OK.
OK?
Well, it's still fluff.
You know, you say that word a lot.
All right, so it's-- it's good fluff.
Anything we do to turn our minds and our hearts
in a positive direction, including actually
doing actions for others--
It's actually pretty good.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Hey.
You said something nice.
Hey, I didn't mean to.
I didn't think so.
Did you get Bucky Frank? Is that his name?
Ah.
Oh, you're kidding me.
Anyway, back to you, America.
He embezzled.
This guy embezzled $30 million!
I didn't say cents, $1 million dollars!
Here's an idea.
Find me a rope and a tall tree, and then we'd have--
Mike, turn it off. Are you serious?
You can't like this guy.
No, I never said I liked this guy.
Then why?
Because he's in the news.
He is the talking head.
Look at that.
Now, he's the best in the business.
Ugh.
I don't know about you. -All right.
Fine.
Let's-- let's forget about Bucky Frank for a minute.
How about a Harvard professor?
Tal Ben Shahar, he teaches a happiness class at Harvard.
He was just on 60 Minutes a couple nights ago.
Are you serious?
Mhm.
We leave tomorrow.
For how long?
Just the day, round robin.
That's a long way to go.
Yeah, welcome the news biz.
Who are you texting?
My friends.
Both of them?
Oh, don't mock me, Mike.
At least I have friends.
Others will have immense benefits,
and it goes further than just us, but it starts with us.
When we are the recipient of acts of kindness, where people
go out of their way to help us, it
allows us to really experience gratitude at its deepest level.
So it is like angels.
It is like a god or a goddess visiting us.
That's truly what it is.
And what's important for us is to feel that
in its fullness, the gratitude.
Because this is what the world is full of.
The world is full of kindness, and often we are
not focused on the kindness.
And therefore we don't feel our hearts in its fullness.
Hey, what do you say?
He can quote anybody.
He knows Glenn Beck's text all the way, everything.
No? How about you, lady?
Just a little, uh, you know? How about it, Buster?
What do you say, huh?
Well, have a nice day anyway, you son of a bitch.
Megan?
Roxy.
Hey, could you move along?
You're scaring away the customers.
Yeah.
Yeah, sorry.
Hey, don't just stand there! Get him!
Oh, great.
-Where the hell is she? -I dunno.
She took off running down the street.
What am I gonna to do with this, huh?
Well, you could get it back to her.
I don't have time for this. All right?
What am I gonna do--
Ahh, time is what we want the most,
but what we use the worst.
William Penn. -I'm outta here.
Philosophers for centuries and millennia
have been talking about our empathic nature,
our sympathies, our sentiments.
And today, psychologists are showing that this is
very much part of our nature.
Whether it is something that we do
or something that we observe, it Is
very difficult to remain indifferent to an act
of kindness.
That's OK.
Long day.
How about we wrap this up in the morning?
No argument here.
All right.
You play guitar?
No.
No, belongs to some street musician.
And you have it because?
Because I can't find the girl.
She ran away.
Well, did you look inside?
Name, number?
How is this my responsibility?
Hey, what's with the 20 questions?
Hey.
No, I'm sorry.
I think I'm just a little stressed out.
How about we-- we leave for breakfast?
-Sure. -All right.
Look, it's not like it's a bad thing.
I don't know how you can say that.
I take care of me, all right?
It's simple, and it works.
It works?
How?
I've got my Audi.
I-- I've got a condo in Boulder.
I'm gonna be anchor at BTV.
And then what?
What do you mean and then what?
Are you happy?
Yeah.
Well, I will be when I get anchor.
Really?
Because the condo and the car didn't do it.
Wow. Who are you?
Katie Couric?
All right, fine.
What makes Katie happy?
My religion is kindness.
- That is so stupid. - Why?
Because you can't be happy all the time.
Why?
You just-- did you make that up?
Who said that?
-The Dalai Lama. -No, no, no.
We are not going-- we are not going
to your stupid little peace conference.
You're going the check.
If that'll make you happy.
When you're a recipient of a good deed,
it's sometimes affects you in a very special way.
I remember some months ago now, I was serving
refugees in East Africa.
They were very poor.
We were in one of the rooms of a refugee.
And at a certain point, he asked me for my classes.
I was one that while not wearing glasses now, I did then,
and I really needed them.
So I gave them over somewhat reluctantly.
He took a fresh piece of tissue, and he
wiped the glasses very carefully,
and then gave them back to me.
And I asked him why he did that?
And he said, you know, we're here,
and you're doing all this for me.
And I-- I don't know how to thank you.
I saw there was dust on your glasses,
and I thought that might be a way.
There was a really interesting study
done years ago at Harvard.
And they set out to discover what effect did watching
positive things going on, a positive act of kindness,
for example.
So they took a number of participants
through this study.
And they were young and old, from very
different backgrounds.
And they-- so the participants watched a two minute clip.
And in this two minute clip-- it could be of Mother Theresa.
It could be just someone building--
helping someone build a playhouse
for someone, and so on.
And two remarkable results came to the fore.
The first was that people immediately
expressed a desire-- you know, I need to get involved too.
I need to help out more, whether that
was at home, or in their community, or at work.
And the second thing that happened
was that an antibody in the saliva increased,
came to the fore right away.
And that antibody is very significant, because it
increases the immune system.
Donovan's in town.
Really?
Yeah, stopped by to see me about an hour ago.
He's got a gig nearby here tonight.
Wait, wait, wait. Donovan the musician?
That-- that Donovan?
He came to see you?
Yeah, he came to see me.
Who the hell is this guy?
This is Mike.
He's working with me on the serotonin story
I told you about.
-This is Jake and Ross. -Pleasure.
Jake was a roadie for Donovan, what?
In the '70s?
Yeah, you oughta interview him for your story.
I can get you in touch with his manager.
Donovan'd be great. -Yeah.
No, yes, definitely, yes.
Donovan?
You're sure he's cutting edge enough?
Do you know anything about music history?
Huh?
Donovan was an innovator.
He influenced Lennon and McCartney.
And without Donovan, there'd be no Led Zeppelin.
Am I right?
Yeah, laughing boy is right.
Led Zeppelin got started during the Hurdy-Gurdy sessions.
So where's he playing? Boulder Theater?
At Paramount?
He's up in Estes Park.
He's got a peace conference or something.
That's perfect.
And we can get the Dalai Lama too.
Estes Park?
No thanks.
What?
Anytime we have a feeling, emotion,
thought, this ricochets, so to speak,
through the rest of the body.
And there probably is not an organ
in the body that is not affected by our thoughts and emotions.
I don't have a problem.
If you begin with this understanding,
it's not so surprising, then, that positive emotions might
have positive effects on the rest of the body,
and thereby increase someone's health.
One of the difficulties in the way in which we live
in the world today with the huge population we're dealing with,
and the bills that we have piling up,
and the family problems, and the mother-in-law,
and all of the difficulties that we're dealing with,
is we stop feeling grateful as to what's
actually good in our lives, and we start
focusing only on what's wrong.
And pretty soon, everything that's wrong in our lives
starts to get bigger and bigger, because that's
what we're focusing on.
Positive emotions in general are good for us.
For example, they strengthen our immune system.
People who enjoy many positive emotions,
who are more optimistic, actually live longer.
So when we do an act of kindness,
when we commit an act of kindness, when we help another
and we feel better about it, we're actually
benefiting ourselves, not just psychologically,
also physiologically.
We do become healthier.
How are those two coming along?
They're going to Estes.
Really?
I thought he hadn't been back since-- this
could be interesting.
I'm going to lunch.
Let me know what you find out.
Will do.
I'm taking notes.
Anybody else you really want to see up there?
Uh-uh.
The Dalai Lama, maybe?
-Hmm? -Eh, maybe.
All right. -We're good.
Tripod, camera bag, and you're sure we're all set up?
I told you, I spoke with his publicist.
She said no problem.
No problems scare me.
What else do you want me to do?
Nothing. Let's load up.
Is that yours?
Yes.
Rough week, huh?
Yeah.
Mike or the assignment?
Both.
So how did you get him to go home?
You're going to Estes Park, aren't you?
Mike is from Estes Park?
Oh yeah, both of us.
I went to school with his sister.
He hasn't been back in forever.
I think he likes you.
I'm pretty sure he hates me.
Yeah, it's a thin line, isn't it?
Come on. Let's go.
Uh, yeah. Let's go.
Have fun.
When we watch an act of kindness, when we see someone
doing good to one, another person, or to ourselves,
it allows us to experience on all levels.
It brings in the energy that is the source of the action.
And this energy is higher force.
it's the power of our own consciousness.
And it exists in us all the time.
But when we have these that happen when somebody reaches
out to us in a time of need, or not even a recognized need,
it opens something in us.
It's like a door opens in our heart,
and we can go in, and experience the higher
states that are inside of us.
And it's a beautiful part of life.
If we didn't do those things, it would
be a very, very sad universe.
So it's not a sad universe, it's a joyous universe.
So where is she?
I don't know.
She said she'd meet us here.
Hi. You must be Katie.
Julie. Hi, this is Mike.
Hi.
Thank you so much for doing this.
Oh, it's my pleasure.
Now, you guys have press passes to the Dalai Lama's speech.
That's tonight in the music at 7:00.
And most of the other interviews are all set.
Great.
What about Donovan?
I'm afraid I have some bad news, there.
Donovan is not gonna be available.
What?
I'm so sorry.
He was delayed from LA.
He's barely gonna make it in time for his concert.
All the interviews have been cancelled.
Yeah, thanks, Julie. Nice job.
No problem?
Mike, I'm sorry.
You said no problem.
Now what, Katie, huh?
You wanna interview the hotel manager, maybe
a couple of maids?
I have a great idea.
We can interview that guy over there
that's trimming the hedges.
Hahaha, what a scoop!
Please, calm down.
No, you do not get to tell me how to feel.
There's a chance we could still get the scoop.
God, Katie, don't you get it? It's not happening.
It's over!
Where are you going?
Your equipment's inside, OK?
Go get your little interviews.
I can't do this by myself.
I don't care!
I don't care about you, and I don't
care about this damn story!
I have a great idea, huh?
Why don't you grab your camera, and you can interview me, huh?
Wouldn't that be perfect for your little--
your little fluff piece, huh?
Then you'll have both sides of the story.
- Please, stop it. - No, no, no.
Go ahead. I'll be right here.
No.
You think you have all the answers, don't you?
Huh? Just be nice, just be kind!
It doesn't work that way, all right?
In the real world, good deeds don't make you happy.
They ruin your life!
I'm so sorry. I messed up.
Don't. I will take care of it.
We can set up down in the music room.
I feel so bad about all of this.
Don't.
That was not your fault.
He's kind of a--
A jerk. I know.
Sometimes, I lose my temper.
Sometimes, there is no longer any compression.
But generally-- generally, I think quiet compassion
is the right attitude.
All major religious tradition is love, compassion, forgiveness,
mainly, love and compassion.
Hello.
I know. I got the last room.
You took the car.
What was I supposed to do?
No.
That's not a good idea.
OK.
Room 217.
DALAI LAMA : Compassion.
forgiveness is to Children who
receive constant affection from home,
they study much better, even physical growth is better.
And those children who are lacking parents' affection,
or worst case, even abuse, then their mental health as well
as physical health much poorer.
Feeling gratitude, feeding feeling thankful, counting
our blessings is much more than just, oh,
I'm so glad that's happened.
It's a much deeper place of saying, yes.
I'm actually really glad these people are in my life,
or this is what's happening to me, because there are blessing.
In every difficult situations, there
are lessons that we can find.
And when you find those blessings, even in the worst
situations, it takes away the negativity,
and it gives us something very, very positive to focus on.
And where we put our focus, that's where our energy goes.
Acts of kindness are contagious.
So when we see someone doing a nice thing for another,
we're much more likely to do the same for someone else as well.
Can I come in?
-You're sleeping on the floor. -OK.
Have to make effort, and in order to carry proper effort,
firstly, we need some visions in our mind.
We help of sense of compassion, then I think we can build
better world, happier world.
So what happened today?
Tomorrow is my sister's birthday.
We grew up here.
When my parents died, I moved, and I haven't
been back in eight years.
And your sister?
When was the last time you talked to her?
Eight years ago.
Well, where is she now?
She's still here.
I'm going to bed now.
Good night.
You been up long?
A while.
So you grew up here?
It's beautiful.
You OK?
You wanna talk about it?
-No. -Didn't think so.
Can't be far from here.
What's that?
Your sister's place.
Sorry.
Come here.
I wanna show you something.
We don't need any scientist's sort of help, no need
technology, no need medicine, but from birth we
wanted to have this potential.
I think more compassionate person, more compassionate one,
finds better-- better friends.
Individual remains always fight, always quarrel.
Very little affection to other.
And such person find more difficult to genuine, trusted
friendship.
When you have the experience that is the intoxication
of love, your body simultaneously
secretes serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and opiates.
serotonin is a hormone that not only makes you feel happy,
but it also increases self-esteem.
Dopamine is an antidepressant.
Opiates make you feel high.
And oxytocin is a pleasure hormone.
It even goes up when, for example, people are
experiencing sexual pleasure.
So you have a hormone that mediates happiness,
a hormone that mediates self-esteem,
a hormone that makes you feel intoxicated,
and another hormone that makes you
feel pleasurable or pleasured.
There's no drug that can do that simultaneously,
all these different things.
Every person's gonna feel something slightly different,
but I think maybe the best way to say it is a warm glow.
I think this is our warm glow areas.
We feel-- we feel good.
It just makes us feel good.
You wanted to know.
Megan loved this place.
I'm sorry. I don't follow.
This is where we spread her ashes.
Oh, you said--
I said she was still here.
Still is.
I was doing it the wrong way.
She didn't make it.
Mike?
She did a good thing, and-- and she died for it.
I killed my sister.
-You didn't kill your sister. -Yeah?
Then who did?
Well, truly, actions that are done selflessly,
that are done for the benefit of others, come from a state
of being that is-- is freer.
So it's coming from a place that isn't
full of tension and worry.
It's just flowing out of a person.
And the recipient of any kind of kindness like that
experiences that flow, because it's a universal flow.
It's an interconnected flow we're all part of.
We feel better emotionally.
We feel better mentally.
But we also can experience, because our minds change
in those actions, because our emotions change,
and we are lifted out of the state of tension or darkness
that we may have been in.
It begins to change the physical condition.
It changes us at a molecular level.
Scientists are beginning to see that it
changes the molecules that exist if we change the conditions.
An action is powerful, because it brings
together thought, mind, body.
It brings all of these together in one,
has a powerful impact radiates out.
It's the source of our karma.
We change our karma by the actions that we do.
This is how things change.
I volunteer because that's-- I started
since I was in kindergarten.
So it's how I've been raised, and it just makes
me feel good all the time.
It's very hard to get kids interested in volunteering.
I mean, they kind of see it as a one-way street,
but if you can really feel the warmth of being able to help
someone, it's quite amazing.
With seniors, when we go to the senior center,
but when we play the bingo with them, when they see,
like, how we help them, it just-- they start laughing.
And it feels good when they laugh, and it makes you laugh.
So it makes me feel good that they feel good.
There was a phenomenon that was investigated
back in the '70s and '80s called the helper's high.
And people who experienced this sense of euphoria
had a better health profile after doing
this compassionate work were people who
did this hands-on dirty work.
Now you might think, well, I can do
charitable-- charitable work by simply writing
a check to my favorite charity.
This wasn't correlated with better health.
The people who've experienced the euphoria, the sense
of optimism and fulfillment were people
who really did hands-on work in some sort
of charitable situation.
When I saw that little girl in street,
I guess it took me by surprise.
What girl?
The street performer.
Did you ever get her case back to her?
No, but I did find her name and number inside the case,
just like you said. Her name's Roxy.
I called her parents, and they said she is a runaway.
It's like the fifth time she's done it.
That is so dangerous.
Yeah, I guess she-- she wants to be a singer.
So every chance she gets, she hops on a bus to the next city.
Are they gonna come get her?
Yeah.
Yeah, I asked 'em to meet me over at-- over
at the studios tomorrow night.
Hey, you did a good thing.
Yeah, well, you don't have to tell anybody.
We have to remember some of that is gonna be
Where have you been?
I've been calling your cell the last hour.
I'm sorry. We must've--
You got the interview.
He staying another day.
I guess he loves it here. -Who?
-Donovan. -Yes, noon today.
We have a 5 o'clock deadline.
Yeah, OK.
Yeah, set it up.
OK.
I want you to be happy.
And in you being happy, I will be happy.
The sound of music can produce the serotonin in me.
And the sound of making that music, I believe,
can produce it in others.
Ah, no problem. We've got what?
Some quick edits, voiceover work.
Just fine.
That's cutting it close.
Jake, what's going on?
- Wilbur disappeared. - Oh no.
We can't find him anywhere. We've looked all over the place.
OK. What happened?
Who's Wilbur?
Ross's dog.
Mike, I have to help him.
Yeah, I know.
OK.
Go finish.
You don't need me.
Where was the last place you saw him?
No.
Mike, I have to.
Not-- I mean I gotta help.
You're gonna miss the deadline.
Yeah, I know.
it's OK.
So, Jake, what happened?
Ross fell asleep about an hour ago.
When he woke up, no Wilbur.
OK.
We're gonna need a little extra help.
That ain't gonna do any good.
We've tried.
Nobody gives a damn about us, much less a dog.
We'll see about that.
Texting more friends?
Yeah, we're gonna need all the help we can get.
All right, well, I'll-- I'll head to the flat irons then.
OK, I'll go the other direction.
You stay here with Ross in case Wilbur comes back.
Wilbur?
Wilbur!
Yea big, white, really scruffy?
-No, sorry. -OK, thanks.
Every time we pass out food, it makes
me smile when they say thank you,
or you did a great job at the end.
It makes me feel good on the inside.
It makes me burst with happiness.
Three kinds of love, the instinctive love,
which the mother or father has for the child when
the child's about to stumble.
You have got no control over that kind of love.
The second love, they say, is emotional.
I feel good when you love me.
If you don't love me, I'm gonna feel bad.
Now that can't last, because it relies on another one
making you feel happy.
And that's what all the love songs are about forever.
And it's an extraordinary I'm in love kind of song.
Then there's the third kind, love that is conscious.
And you have to actually use effort for this one.
This is not a biological one.
I-- I just wanna find him.
Just-- just help me find him. -We will.
We will. we'll find him.
Wilbur.
Where did you find him?
I-- I guess he likes my music.
Thank you.
And so conscious love is a giving.
So maybe that's when the sera-- serotonin starts moving.
By the way, where can you get this serotonin?
I'd like some right now.
Roxy, still have your case.
Oh, thanks.
What's wrong?
They won't let me play.
Here on the mall?
No, at any of the clubs.
I can't even get in since-- never mind.
'Cause you're under age, you mean.
Yeah.
Look, I gotta go.
I still have to get your case to you.
Tell you what, can you meet me tomorrow night, say 6 o'clock,
over at the draft house?
Sure, whatever.
Hey, you have a place to stay tonight?
Yeah, I found a place to crash.
And it's safe?
Yes, it's safe. Who are you?
My father?
All right, I'm sorry.
Tomorrow night, 6 o'clock, draft house.
I got it. I'm not deaf.
What our study indicates is that the brain
is hardwired, is hardwired, to give us a feeling
of reward when we donate.
And their feeling of reward is reinforcing,
and should encourage us to do that same kind of behavior,
whether it's doing a good deed in general, again.
Of course, by nature we are selfish.
But selfish should be wise selfish,
rather than foolish selfish.
So wise selfish means knows objectively and realistically
approach.
That's wise selfish.
Taking care more people, other, you get benefit.
Think just oneself, forget other, you will lose.
It's about telling you two got here.
What are you doing here?
Well, it appears two idiots turned the whole town upside
down looking for a damn dog.
And you know how I hate to be left out of a good story.
Thanks for your text.
So did you get what you needed? -Yeah.
Yeah, but we're well past the deadline.
So I have to cute some interviews, and--
How long?
At least three hours.
Well, let's get started.
You're the kicker story tomorrow night.
Yeah, OK.
Many nights may seem like a dream,
with stars lined on their streets, none
will shine as bright as you.
New friends, they may come and go, no one will ever know--
-Not bad. -Thanks.
Brought your guitar case.
Hey, old on a sec.
I've got a favor to ask.
I've gotta go.
No, no, no, it's-- it's nothing like that, all right?
Just somebody I want you to meet.
I think you're gonna like this. Come on.
Hey, Mike.
Hey.
Is she the one?
She is the one.
What's going on?
My buddy Paul here is short a singer tonight.
So-- so I wonder if maybe you could do me a favor
and stand in and play?
You know I can't go in.
I'm only 14.
Oh no.
Is that-- is that true, Paul?
Yeah, I'm afraid it's true unless you're
with your parents. -See?
Thanks.
Great favor.
Roxy, are you sure you wouldn't like to play?
You left this at home.
Came all this way to hear you sing.
Where's Mike?
He has a show to do, and so do you.
Rehearsal's in five minutes. Are you coming?
Yeah.
Can-- can I play one of my own songs?
We'll see.
Come on inside.
4, 3, 2--
A story from our newest reporter here
at Boulder Tonight, Katie Dawkins.
Thank you, Katie.
I knew there'd come a day that I have to go away,
and I guess you knew that too.
Still, it's hard to say goodbye, and I can see it in your eyes.
You're wondering if I'll miss you.
Oh, in my heart, you'll always be
there, every step of the way.
I'm so gonna miss you.
You're my best friend in the whole world.
Believe me when I tell you, you're so incredible.
Don't you know?
You're unforgettable.
Giving something to somebody else
does not depend on how much money you have,
or how many physical things you can give to somebody.
It depends on you being able to give your heart.
So take care of yourself, take care of others.
We're all interconnected, linked in a web of empathy.
If you want to raise your serotonin level,
if you want to feel better in the moment,
right now, all that's really required
is to take a breath, and smile, and go, and share that
with your fellow human beings.
We are all here together.
We want to live joyously, and we want to share it.
So we start with right now, breathe, smile, share.
Some nights may seem like a dream,
with stars lined on their streets, but none
will shine as bright as you.
New friends, they may come and go,
but no one will ever know me quite the way you do.
Oh, in my heart, you'll always be
there, every step of the way.
I'm so gonna miss you.
You're my best friend in the whole world.
Believe me when I tell you, you're so incredible.
Don't you know? You're unforgettable.
Life won't be the same without you by my side.
So please keep these words in your heart.
I'm so gonna miss you.
You're my best friend in the whole world.
So believe me when I tell you you're so incredible.
Don't you know?
I'm so gonna miss you.
You're my best friend in the whole world.
Believe me when I tell you, you're so incredible.
Don't you know?
You're unforgettable.
I'm so gonna miss you.
You're my best friend in the whole world.
You're unforgettable.
I'm so gonna miss you.
You're my best friend in the whole world.
And action.
What?
It's very difficult to remain indifferent to an act
of kindness.
Fuck you, Elena.
What the?
Go placidly amid the and haste, and remember what
peace there may be in silence.
