The video narrates a conversation between two animal figures, a small elephant with an English accent who is looking for his purple cow project, asking a giraffe for confirmation. The seductive female sounding giraffe tells him that his purple cow dream of making a time machine is too unrealistic, and that it shouldn't be mundane either, but the purple cow dream sits between the two extremes, and is something truly remarkable, like seeing a purple cow in a field. So elephant boy counters with another purple cow dream, "So if i was to investigate how animals nonviolently respond to conflict would that be a purple cow dream?" Giraffe girl says, "If by nonviolent communication you mean making non-judgmental observations, identifying feelings and needs, and making concrete requests to meet those needs the way Marshall Rosenberg teaches, then yeah, that sounds more like a purple cow dream." Elephant boy says, "Far out...i'm going to meditate more on my purple cow dream." Giraffe girl responds, "I'll join you in your meditation." scene ends.
