Leftovers Page #6

I think removing some of

the pieces out of the puzzle

will help it streamline

the whole system.

Let the money flow more

freely towards the people

that are actually

providing those services.

Don't have people

stand in the way,

take money out of the

stream for themselves,

and then come back

to me and say,

"Would you please provide

me with some more details

about what it is that you do?"

You wanna know what

it is that I do?

Come out here and help

me serve the meals.

- We ask congressmen,

we ask congresswomen,

we ask senators,

go deliver a meal.

Go see what it's like.

Not as a photo op, don't

do it for a pretty picture.

Go see what it's like.

Go walk into the home of

one of your constituents

who is in need.

Go see what it's like.

- And that's just what we did.

We spent our second

day with Victor

driving all over Marin County

delivering over 65 meals.

And about two hours in, I

noticed that a job like this

requires a very special person,

because it just seemed

to be the same thing,

over and over and over

and over and over...

(intense mechanic music)

So what keeps you

from burning out here?

- Same thing that makes me show

up to work on time everyday.

If I don't come here,

somebody goes hungry.

(soft piano music)

- [Seth] But what

happened next proved to be

the biggest turning point

of this entire production,

because I met someone, who

not only changed my view

on senior hunger, but

would become my inspiration

for the remainder of the film.

(laughing)

- No strippers

are signed up yet,

but, hey, man, do you

wanna be in a movie?

- [Paul] Hell yeah!

- Hell yeah, he says.

Come on, let's go talk to Paul.

- Seth, are you gonna

take all day with this?

You know it's

almost two o'clock.

- [Seth] I know.

So, Paul, you've

had Victor coming by

and bringing you

food for a while now.

- [Paul] He's a pain in the ass.

- [Seth] How long has he

been bringing food to you?

- A long, long time.

- [Seth] Yeah?

- Damn!

Victor does it because he

has heart for this job.

I kid around, I do

a lot of things now,

but really down deep, he's

one of a kind for this job.

I don't BS about this stuff.

His organization

means a great deal

to a lot of people,

not only for me.

- I don't do this

because it's something

that improves my health.

I don't do this

because it's glamorous.

I do this because I really feel

we need to help each other.

If there's one thing

I want people to know,

it's that the challenges

I see everyday

will some day

catch up with them.

They're not expecting it.

But something is going

to affect their lives,

it's gonna change

their own existence.

- [Seth] Did you ever
