they begin taking hostages, liberating their colleagues from the retirement home and begin to take over the town. The military arrives and the seniors list their demands: their driver's licenses, more money for Medicare and keeping kids from skateboarding on the sidewalk. The AARP leader realizes they could even take over the whole country, and demonstrates that they are willing to kill hostages and soldiers to get their demands, but Marvin feels this goes too far beyond their original demands.
