to a commanding officer. l demand to speak

to the commanding officer, you hear me? l demand to speak

to the commanding officer. No, no. No. No! No! No! No! Stop. No! [WATER SPLATTERlNG] Ray? Ray. Ray! Larry. lt's me. Larry. Larry! Larry, help. Ray, it's me. Hey, Larry. Ray, it's me. Ray, help. Larry. [CAR RUMBLlNG] Ray. lt's me, it's me. lt's me, it's me. Help! Ray, help. lt's me. Ray. Ray, help. lt's me. lt's me. lt's me. NARRATOR:

It is sometimes said... ...that where there is no hope,

there is no life. Case in point: The residents of Sunnyvale Rest Home,

where hope is just a memory. But hope just checked in to Sunnyvale... ...disguised as an elderly optimist... ...who carries his magic

in a shiny tin can. Vitamin A is for the scalp,

the hair, vision and teeth. Vitamin B is for the, uh, hair

and mucous membrane. Vitamin C is for the circulatory system. Very important for that part. And let's not forget calcium

for good strong bones and teeth. Before we get to that, though. . . . .. l always recommend

a little lemon juice in the diet. -Yes, l take lemon juice, yeah.

GREY:
Good diet, healthy senior citizens. Now to E. This is an important one. lf you've enjoyed healthy sex

throughout your life. . . [CROWD CHUCKLlNG] . ..there's no reason why you can't

continue to enjoy well into your 80's. WOMAN: What about the men, though?

GREY:
l have some special exercises for you. -That's Leo Conroy.

GREY:
You can do in your chairs. AGEE:

That's his kid. He's in real estate. GREY:

Well, the first, lean down over your lap. That's right. Arms hanging loosely. Good. Now roll your spine up. Good. [CHlLDREN LAUGH lNG

AND CHATTERlNG] You said maybe this week

l could come visit. Come visit. l wish you could, Pop,

but it's bad timing this week. We really have to be going now. -l understand.

-Maybe next week, Pop. We're gonna be late for the game.

Jeff has to. . . . Bye-bye, Pop. So long. Every second Saturday he carries

those cases down to his kid's car. And every second Saturday... . ..he carries them back upstairs again

and unpacks. GREY:

Stretch. Breathe. MAN [ON TV]: The answer is, "lt's been

nicknamed 'Scourge of the Sons of Han'... ...because of perennial flooding." Don't say it, Agee. l'm thinking. [CHlLDREN LAUGH lNG

AND CHATTERlNG] What is the Yellow River? Those damn kids. They've been told not to play around here.

Old people need their rest. But they're just playing, Mr. Conroy.

No harm done. DEMPSEY: l wish l could go out there

and play with them. Why don't you, Mrs. Dempsey? Because, Mr. Bloom. . . . ..she is old. You're never too old to play, Mr. Conroy. You see, when l rest, l rust. ls this your first time

in an old-age home, Bloom? No, actually, Mr. Conroy,
