♪ ♪

Everything here is
just so positive, so...

I'm lost for words.

I don't see the slums. I don't
see death and destruction.

I don't see murders.

You don't see a lot of children
running around here either.

You're not gonna be, tomorrow,

the same age you are today.
So think about you.

You come here to live.

You don't come here
to pass away.

You don't need to go
outside the Villages.

You would never have to leave.



Everything
you ever want is here.

Everything is here.

The restaurants, the golf
course, the tennis courts.

If you try to come off
as, you're "bored",

then you're full of it, because
they have everything here.

There is no place like this.

This is Nirvana.

One, two, three...

Woo!

When you live here, you...

kind of become younger.

We have more than
20,000 single people.

When they become single,
whether it's through divorce,

whether it's through death,

it's a new awakening.

It's like a butterfly
coming out of that cocoon.

After the wife passed,
I started night-clubbing.

I got a second chance
and a second bite at the apple.

I ran into my new love
of my life.

And met her on the square
at Spanish Springs.

From then,
it was the best of times.

I'm not in a hurry,
I'm meeting a lot of people.

And I know eventually,
I'll meet somebody nice

to share
the rest of my life with.

There are lots of people
that have been married

a really long time here.

I'm proud. I'm proud that
we've made it 47 years.

What does that mean?

That means, "Time flies
when you're having fun."

Yeah.

Hey, everybody.

When you move here, it
is like going off to college.

Since nobody's from here,

everybody can be what
they want to be down here.

Hey, everybody!

- Anne, how are you?
- Hey, Larry.

What strikes me is,

people move here
with the intention

of having a happy, healthy life.

They've been workaholics

to keep from thinking about
their problems in life.

They're in a box
with their time.

Most people are like that.

Including Anne.

She's such an athlete,
and she's living her dream.

It leaves me alone,

which is really good
in a lot of cases.

But then there's days
which I would like to have...

I'd like to have somebody to pal
around with, you know.

...the sooner you will start
feeling like yourself again.

No, you know what,
I can get through this...

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

My husband
was getting ready to retire.

The Villages seemed like
a magical, beautiful place.

I decided that
I would sell my house

and we would move down here
and start fresh.

If you're looking for fun,

there's only about 3,000
clubs here in the Villages.

I mean, gosh, if you
can't find something here,

check your pulse, will you?

Yeah, well, alright,
here's, for example...

Hi, this is Barbara.

Hi, it's Barbara from
the Villages' Rehab and Nursing.

How you doing?

No, it's going to get delivered,
the equipment, to the house...

But there's one person
for Sunday who needs

a 20-inch wheelchair
with a cushion.

Alrighty, thank you.

♪ ♪

My mind is always wandering.

Always wandering to home.

- To Massachusetts.
- Hello?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, sorry. Yep?

Yes, that's fine.

My savings over the 11
years that I had are gone,

which would've been
enough to go back.

I'm just saying, for me,

it hasn't been the fantasy land
that I thought it would be.

For reasons that... Some are
true to my own self, you know?

Oh, my god!

I am sorry. I...

Fifi! Fifi, please!

You'll always remember me, guys!

Fifi, please stop!

It's a dominance thing,
honest to God!

It has nothing to do with sex.
The vet told me.

♪ ♪

The reason I came here
is because I figured

this would be the last hurrah.

Where else can you party
seven days a week

with live entertainment?
It's a great place.

♪ ♪

♪

I came down here from California

to meet some wealthy women
and get set up for life.

I think I'm gonna have to live
in the van

until I find that woman

that I'm looking for,
and it's getting close, I think.

What I'm looking for
is a companion,

a nice-looking lady
with some money

that looks good, that I'd be

not embarrassed
to be seen on the street with.

And down here, they're rare.

It's rare to find a classic lady
down here, actually,

that's really sharp,
but they're out there.

But you have to find out
where to find them.

And I've been working the bars,
and that's not working.

I tried the churches,
and that's not working.

So then I started hitting
the swimming pools

a few months ago,
and that works really well.

I just hustle them
and talk to them

and get them to invite
me over for cocktails.

Then eventually
I can move in with them

if everything works out alright.

It should work.

♪ ♪

This place was developed
originally by my father,

Harold Schwartz,
in the mid '80s.

When I got here,
there were 800 people.

And now there's 130,000 so...

we did something right.

They're living their
American dream, as we are.

♪

We needed to create
this place not brand-new.

We wanted to create it... old.

We decided to bring
the baby boomers

to a home that they were
familiar with

when they were young.

We're often referred to

as the "Disney World
for retirees".

We contacted a company
to design and build

an old-fashioned town center,
the kind we all grew up in.

And we were taken aback
by their first question.

"What's your storyline?

Every town
has a reason for being."

"That's easy," we said.

"Our villagers moved here
because they found

the Fountain of Youth."

The history here
in the Villages,

there's a real history,
and then there's the...

kind of the made-up history.

Back then, Andrew Jackson
hadn't come down into this area

and made the Indians mad yet.

And the local people tried to
replicate the Indian dance.

And to this very day,
you can still see that dance

if you go to
the squares at night.

Because you see the...

You see... They say
white people can't dance,

but you see them
doing their little hop...

That's our local prison.

There's a lot of history
on all the buildings.

Different stories
that have all been made up

over a bottle of scotch.

When we first moved here,

it was like being
on vacation every day.

But it is not the real world.

We live in a bubble.

Yeah!

With Reggie,
you have to be very open-minded.

I never know what he's going
to come up with next.

And you never know what people
are gonna think about it.

That's the horrible part.

What her friends
might think about me.

They think you're unusual.

♪

The Villages has given
Reggie an opportunity

to grow in different ways.

You tickle, fly, go away.

When we got married,
he really was not so unique.

That kind of developed
over the years.

My whole training
is about ending my life

with a smile on my face.

Everybody knows they're
on the verge of death.

And people are just
still ignoring it.

And so, I really like...

stimulating myself with drugs.

They get me to a spiritual
place really quickly.

♪

I don't understand it
and I don't like it,

because I think it's
a dependency on something

that just is not good for you.

But I can respect what
he's found

and what he's looking for.

Hi, my name's Elaine.

Hi, my name is Elaine.

Elaine is our name.

I think when you live
in the Villages,

you're acting the part.

Every day, every night.

You're part of the fantasy.

I will say, it is hard
to be alone in the Villages.

Paul got diagnosed with a
brain tumor in December.

He went into the hospital
with brain swelling.

And he never came home.

I still can't get
my head around it.

I'm in the fourth month.

I think it will take time.

A lot of time.

God bless you.

So, are you married?

I was married,
but he passed away.

Mine was passed away
ten year already.

- Seriously?
- Mm-hmm.

I was single,
a widow for eight year.

Oh...

And then I go online,
met another one,

which is my husband,
the new one.

I just re-married about
a year and two months...

- Oh, nice, very nice.
- Yes.

Well, you know,
it's a little soon,

but I'm thinking of the future,

and I'm thinking of myself
looking online.

But it has to be a good site,
it can't be,

You need to do
what is better for you.

He want you to be happy,
he don't want you to sit there,

sad and grumpy,
and, like, you know,

"Oh, I miss you."
Yes, he know that you miss him,

but there's nothing he can do.
He up there, you... Like my...

He up there, and you here,
but you have to be strong.

If you ain't gonna be strong,
you ain't gonna make it.

At least you have a job.
You're healthy today.

But whatever you wanna do,

you have to force yourself
to do it.

Nobody gonna be there
to tell you,

"You need to do that,
you need to do that."

Go on ahead.
I'll open it up for you.

Thank you.

Bye. Have a great day.

This is... This is different than
most gated communities.

Think of this
as a community with gates.

These are all public roads,
so I don't check any IDs.

They are all free
to come as they like.

Good morning!

Have a good day.

I kind of think of them
as speed bumps.

Hi!

A perfect day to find

a perfect home for you. Let's
hear an open house or two.

Somebody found me out or
thought they found me out.

I kept seeing this guy
sneaking around

and looking at me
in his golf cart

and over the fence,
and I thought,

"What the hell
is with this guy?"

And then I found
a note on my car, it said,

"I know you don't live here."

"If you want to avoid trouble,
don't come back."

That's what the note said.

seriously.

I need your help, I got

I gotta go to court Tuesday,

and I'm a little bit
puzzled about it.

I had...

six little...

Not even...
Maybe two grams of THC.

And I had about five
dollars' worth of cocaine,

which, obviously, I forgot.

And obviously, I don't
use cocaine, I just...

A guy gave it to me at a party.

Anne, I've seen Reggie
on YouTube.

You've got people going,
"What in the world?"

This situation, I still
don't know what happened.

I don't understand it.

And it was very scary. Um...

Especially when he,
in my opinion,

didn't understand
the gravity of it.

- So how do you deal with that?
- You just kind of accept it.

That's not a good answer,
you know that, Anne.

Um...

- That's what I've had to do.
- I understand that.

You wonder,
"What am I doing here?"

I can see asking myself that.
"What am I..." Wow!

"What am I doing here?"

'Cause I feel like
I'm overwhelmed,

having to deal with somebody

who doesn't think
they have a problem,

and doesn't understand
how it impacts other people.

Yeah.

So my alternative is,
I either leave or I stay.

Mm-hmm. Right, exactly.

And if I stay, I have to
figure out how to handle it.

to do, because I'm not

And push this down here.

- Oh for God's...
- Pull this over.

- Now, was that a half-hour?
- Uh, no.

Sit down.

- So how does the seat feel?
- It feels very nice.

- Comfortable?
- Very comfortable.

- Where are you from?
- Different than the one I had.

- Boston.
- Boston!

- Where are you from?
- Michigan.

- Ah!
- Now that I'm in the Villages,

you know,
I'm what they call a "frog".

What's a frog?

- I'm here till I croak.
- Oh, okay!

The golf cart salesman today
was extremely nice.

He was tall, like Paul.

We had a very nice rapport,

very nice rapport.

And I think that if something
were to happen

naturally like that...

It would almost be better
than saying,

"Oh, I'm over here,
maybe looking for..."

You know, not looking for love
or a relationship,

- but trying to meet people.
- Yeah.

He talked
a lot about margaritas.

Most of the people don't know
my name is Lynn.

They know me as
the "Margarita Man."

I'll be down in the square
and somebody yells,

"The Margarita Man!"
And I'll wave at 'em.

- Oh, for God's sakes!
- I don't know who they are.

A lot of people know me because
of the margaritas I give away.

That's nice.

I mean, he talked a lot
about margaritas.

He likes to drink, huh?

Well, I think it's because he
belongs to the Parrothead Club.

I think he's a big member
of the Parrothead Club,

Jimmy Buffett.

I guess he sounds like he's one
of the ones in charge of it,

- all the fun times.
- Uh-huh.

He's in charge of bringing
the margaritas.

And he was telling me,
and this was funny, that he has

two commercial-size blenders.

And the problem with one is,
after about five gallons,

it overheats, so...

- Five gallons? God!
- Five gallons.

I don't know what that means,
"commercial-size". Must be big,

because when his daughter

gave him a margarita mixer
at Christmas,

he was very nice
to his daughter, he said,

"Michelle,
this is a great present,

but you have to understand,

"I make margaritas by the gallon.
This makes them by the glass."

I haven't had a margarita
for a long time.

- We can fix that.
- Okay!

- Okay, I'm fine with that.
- That was easy!

Yeah, that was fine.

I was test-driving
the golf cart...

So, you say I have
a gift of gab?

Yeah, but a good gift of gab.
It's a good one.

And my hair was
all over my face,

'cause I didn't have
my sunglasses on.

And he took his hat off
and he put it on me.

And that was just... He said,

"My God,
your hair's all over you."

So I said,
"Yeah, I can see that."

So, you know, I could always go
to a Parrothead meeting,

or one of their parties,

'cause they have 'em
probably every month.

- Mm-hmm.
- And just check it out.

Yeah.

Who's this?

Isaiah, up!
Watch! Guys! Look!

Oh here's...
The story is...

Yeah, I'm right now
with Norman Lee at his church.

Isaiah! Up! Up!

He's gonna help me out
with some stuff.

Good boy!

Good boy!

Good boy.

Hey, Dennis!
I think we have your ride!

Yeah!

Ninety percent
of the weddings I've done,

everybody's been
over 70 years old.

- Sure, yeah. Wow.
- I mean hundreds of them.

And it's wonderful for people
to find love again...

Oh, yeah.

...in the twilight
of their years.

And so, you're no different
than anybody else.

- Yeah.
- You know.

- If you can find...
- The right person.

When you find a good woman,
it shows.

- Yeah.
- Or if you find a good man,

- you know who it is.
- Yeah.

I've been single
most of my life,

and I've met a lot of bad women.
I've had bad experiences.

Well, you're not the only one.

- No, no.
- You know, I was young,

I played on the road,
and we did crazy things.

But you can't have
the flavor of the week

when you're 81 years old.
You kinda gotta find somebody.

Yeah.

Somebody that's somewhat
got it together...

that can help steer you
in the right direction, also.

I know exactly how you feel,
and I know exactly

what you're doing,

because I lived my life,
basically,

the same way up until
I was 40 years old.

- Yeah.
- But when I was 40,

I didn't want to end up
like you at 81.

Yeah.

There has to be more
than just surviving.

Heavenly Father,

my brother Dennis is down
at a low point in his life.

We're praying for some shelter,

for some transportation,
for some friends in his life,

some good Christian
men and women

that can help him along
in his struggle.

We're gonna pray for
possibly a companion,

A good woman, a good godly woman

to help him stay on the
straight and narrow,

to help him get a direction

so that he doesn't necessarily
have to keep going

up and down in his life,

that maybe, at 81 years old,
he can finally be content

and stand on solid ground.

We ask all this in the mighty
name of Jesus, amen and amen.

- Amen. Amen.
- Amen. Amen.

- Amen, brother.
- Thank you so much.

We have talked a lot today

about being positive, Anne.

Has that situation,
from your perspective, improved?

Or has it got a long ways to go?
A little ways to go? What...?

Well, we didn't have
a real marriage before.

Now we have a real marriage.

We were seriously talking about
going our separate ways,

but we're much, much,
much better at it.

And besides, we don't argue
as much anymore.

I don't want to put
words in your mouth.

When we get mad at each other,
do we carry it around?

Um... Well,
sometimes I do, yeah.

So, Anne, when was it hardest
for you to be positive?

Is there a certain setting
that would trigger negativeness?

Feeling that
I'm not being listened to,

that makes me kinda lose...

control.

Because even if somebody
doesn't agree, I feel like...

they could listen.

So what would you like to see
in Reggie that

would be helpful,
not only to Reggie, but to you?

Um... Being open,

being listened to,

being able to communicate.

Getting respect.

And love.

And...

But that's a checklist
of beautiful emotions.

How do you want me
to work on...?

Those are things that I want.

They are important to me,
so they are the things that

I would want you
to continue to do, and work on.

All of those things.

Well, that certainly
shouldn't let the...

I know this is serious.

It's still a violation
of the law,

but it's, as you've said before,

it's not the most serious case
that I deal with so...

- Hello there.
- Hey. Come in.

- Thank you.
- Come in.

- Good to see you.
- Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Good to see you.
It's been a long time.

I know.
Welcome back.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

I was always worried
that maybe something...

If your van broke down,
what would you do, you know?

- Yeah.
- I thought about it.

Sure. The van has to go.

I can't drive the van
on the streets,

because it's like a wanted
person that's wanted.

Where will you live, if you
don't have your van to live in?

You're right...

- That's my question!
- You're right.

- I want to know.
- You want me back?

Come on, tell me.

I don't know for sure.
I'm just playing it day by day.

Yeah, I know. You're edging
around the answer, right?

- Okay. Yeah.
- I just wanna be comfortable.

Are you going
to let me stay here?

Yeah, you can. You know me.
You can trust me.

Oh, I can trust you, absolutely.
Yeah.

- You know that.
- Yeah.

So for old time's sake?

- Yes. I can do that.

When I was young,

I used to come home from school
to an empty house.

My father had flown the coop,

and my mother worked
as a maid at a hotel.

It was very, very lonely.

One day I found a baby squirrel,

and I brought it home,
and I put it in a shoe box.

Several days later,
when I went home,

it was very, very sick.

It was actually dead,

but I didn't know it
at the time.

I had forgotten to feed it
for a couple of days.

So, I took it out of the box,
and I laid it on a table.

And I prayed and I prayed
for several hours.

And then my mother came home,
and she found us.

She was furious.

She picked it up and
she threw it in the garbage.

And I lost control.
I started screaming and crying,

"Mama, Mama!
God didn't answer my prayer!

God didn't answer
