1. it looks
like a... Rabbit.
Copy !req
2. oh, I guess that's
the tail, huh?
Copy !req
3. Very good, honey.
Copy !req
4. What else do you see?
Copy !req
5. That one looks
like a pig.
Copy !req
6. No, wait—
maybe it's a ham.
Copy !req
7. Bobby, in your
imagination
Copy !req
8. there are no
wrong answers.
Copy !req
9. Look, mom, a bee.
Copy !req
10. Well, yeah, I guess
that could be
Copy !req
11. maybe a puffy
little wing and...
Copy !req
12. oh.
Copy !req
13. We even fooled a bee.
Copy !req
14. Well, that's because
bees are stupid.
Copy !req
15. Fool an owl... Then we'll talk.
Copy !req
16. guess who sold
three barbecues today.
Copy !req
17. Dad! In here!
Copy !req
18. I'm painting my room.
Copy !req
19. Well, all right, son.
Copy !req
20. You can finally wear
those overalls
Copy !req
21. without being embarrassed.
Copy !req
22. I'll get the funsaver.
Copy !req
23. Uh, eh, hold on a minute.
Copy !req
24. This is our son's
first paint job.
Copy !req
25. Do we really want
to remember it
Copy !req
26. looking all blotchy?
Copy !req
27. Those aren't blotches.
Copy !req
28. They're clouds.
Copy !req
29. huh?
Copy !req
30. You painted clouds?
Copy !req
31. White, puffy clouds.
Copy !req
32. This is a boy's room,
not a day-care center.
Copy !req
33. A boy's room
should be blue.
Copy !req
34. I'm painting it back.
Copy !req
35. Hank—
Copy !req
36. Please do not
stifle him.
Copy !req
37. If my son wants
to stare at clouds, then...
Copy !req
38. He can look out
the dang window.
Copy !req
39. He can see all the
clouds he wants.
Copy !req
40. Not at night.
Copy !req
41. Mm-hmm. At night, all you
can see out that window
Copy !req
42. is bill dancing with his mop.
Copy !req
43. yup.
Copy !req
44. yup.
Copy !req
45. yup.
Copy !req
46. yup.
Copy !req
47. You don't
even know
Copy !req
48. what we were
talking about.
Copy !req
49. All right,
what is it?
Copy !req
50. Nancy's birthday's
on saturday
Copy !req
51. and I'm throwing her
a surprise party.
Copy !req
52. "abracapasta.
Copy !req
53. Magic, dining and more."
Copy !req
54. yeah. I been spraying
their kitchen
Copy !req
55. for roaches and silverfish
Copy !req
56. and, well,
until business picks up
Copy !req
57. they're paying me
in free magic shows.
Copy !req
58. You have
to come.
Copy !req
59. You already
said "yup."
Copy !req
60. Oh, all right,
I'll go to the show
Copy !req
61. but I'm not clapping.
Copy !req
62. I don't like magicians.
Copy !req
63. Don't trust 'em.
Copy !req
64. Ever since
david copperfield
Copy !req
65. made the statue
of liberty disappear.
Copy !req
66. Shame oh him.
Copy !req
67. Remember, people, this
is a covert operation.
Copy !req
68. I have recruited
one john redcorn
Copy !req
69. to keep nancy
busy all day.
Copy !req
70. She will not suspect a thing.
Copy !req
71. Oh, sug, this
place is perfect.
Copy !req
72. No one will ever
spot us in this dump.
Copy !req
73. Uh, maybe you
should take
your hands
Copy !req
74. out of my jeans now.
Copy !req
75. Sug, what
Copy !req
76. is the matter?
Copy !req
77. You're so...
Copy !req
78. Oh, my god—
it's dale.
Copy !req
79. Surprise!
Copy !req
80. happy birthday, baby.
Copy !req
81. Happy
birthday,
baby.
Copy !req
82. Nice work,
john redcorn.
Copy !req
83. She didn't suspect a thing.
Copy !req
84. You are so clueless.
Copy !req
85. Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha.
Copy !req
86. Honey, you never
get older.
Copy !req
87. Were you
surprised?
Copy !req
88. Well, it's been
a wonderful party.
Copy !req
89. hank
Copy !req
90. Sit down and enjoy
the magic show.
Copy !req
91. the last thing I need
Copy !req
92. is some silky man
in his silky scarves
Copy !req
93. trying to trick me
into having fun.
Copy !req
94. ladies and
gentlemen.
Copy !req
95. Abracapasta is proud to present
Copy !req
96. all the way
from guadalajara, mexico
Copy !req
97. the astounding...
Copy !req
98. Herrera!
Copy !req
99. Oh, lord.
Copy !req
100. good evening,
ladies and gentlemens.
Copy !req
101. I am... Astounding herrera.
Copy !req
102. Get ready to be... Astounded.
Copy !req
103. Did you see that?
Copy !req
104. He pulled the watch
right out of his pocket.
Copy !req
105. Oh, hank, will
you be quiet?
Copy !req
106. That's not part
of the trick.
Copy !req
107. Where did that
watch come from?
Copy !req
108. Yes. There are no wires.
Copy !req
109. The only thing
holding her up... Is magic.
Copy !req
110. Sure. Who needs wires
Copy !req
111. when you got a forklift
behind the curtain?
Copy !req
112. Hank, would
you please?
Copy !req
113. and now
Copy !req
114. the sawing of woman in halfs.
Copy !req
115. You see that now?
he just lied to us.
Copy !req
116. He didn't
really cut her.
Copy !req
117. No one wants
to hear it, hank.
Copy !req
118. For my next illusion
Copy !req
119. I will need a volunteer
from the audience.
Copy !req
120. A beautiful womans.
Copy !req
121. Well...
Copy !req
122. He's not going
to pick you.
Copy !req
123. He's got a plant
in the audience.
Copy !req
124. Hank, you are not sitting
in a room full of idiots.
Copy !req
125. We know he didn't really
saw that woman.
Copy !req
126. We know birds don't grow
out of his fingers.
Copy !req
127. We know his accent
is phony
Copy !req
128. but we don't care.
Copy !req
129. The fun is pretending
that it's real.
Copy !req
130. Ah, yes. You.
Copy !req
131. Huh? Oh.
Copy !req
132. excuse me.
Copy !req
133. Thank you.
Copy !req
134. And what is your name,
my lovely?
Copy !req
135. Me lammo peggy hill.
Copy !req
136. Ah! You speak spanish...
Copy !req
137. In a way.
Copy !req
138. Then you must know
that most pinatas
Copy !req
139. is filled
with the candies.
Copy !req
140. And este burro
is no exception
Copy !req
141. but the sweetness
I am filling it with
Copy !req
142. is the sweetness
that is... Peggy hill.
Copy !req
143. get in there, peggy.
Copy !req
144. come on, peggy.
Copy !req
145. I will take three swings
at the burro.
Copy !req
146. If Miss peggy hill is lucky,
I will miss.
Copy !req
147. Will she get lucky tonight?
Copy !req
148. one!
Copy !req
149. two.
Copy !req
150. ay, dios mio.
Copy !req
151. Will astounding herrera
strike out
Copy !req
152. with Miss peggy hill?
Copy !req
153. We shall see.
Copy !req
154. Three.
Copy !req
155. All right,
that's enough.
Copy !req
156. Get out
of the donkey, peggy.
Copy !req
157. We're going home.
Copy !req
158. But I still have one more chance
to hit on your wife.
Copy !req
159. all right, mister,
I've had enough
Copy !req
160. of your tomfoolery.
Copy !req
161. Let her out of there.
Copy !req
162. As you wish.
Copy !req
163. whee!
Copy !req
164. Where's peggy?
Copy !req
165. You bring my wife
back right now
Copy !req
166. or I'm getting
the manager.
Copy !req
167. I'm right
here, hank.
Copy !req
168. what?
Copy !req
169. How did you do that?
Copy !req
170. I cannot break
the magician's code
Copy !req
171. and neither
can my lovely assistant.
Copy !req
172. Okay, that's it.
Copy !req
173. Nancy's birthday party
is over.
Copy !req
174. He will not
get very far
Copy !req
175. without his keys,
ladies and gentlemens.
Copy !req
176. you thief, I'll kick your ass.
Copy !req
177. what the...?
hey.
Copy !req
178. a trap door.
Copy !req
179. no.
Copy !req
180. Mirrors in the...
Copy !req
181. no.
Copy !req
182. Rotating stage?
Copy !req
183. Will you stop it?
Copy !req
184. I promised herrera
I would not tell
Copy !req
185. and there is nothing
more important to a magician
Copy !req
186. than keeping secrets—
Copy !req
187. Probably because so
many of them are gay.
Copy !req
188. Well, you made a promise
to me, too—
Copy !req
189. Love, honor and obey—
Copy !req
190. And I want you to obey me
when I tell you
Copy !req
191. to tell me
how that trick was done.
Copy !req
192. you just can't stand
Copy !req
193. that I know something
that you don't.
Copy !req
194. Well, get used
to it, hank
Copy !req
195. because I will never
Copy !req
196. tell you how that
trick was done.
Copy !req
197. Never, ever.
Copy !req
198. So, uh...
this herrera
Copy !req
199. is he, uh...?
Copy !req
200. Yes, of course he is.
Copy !req
201. Now leave me alone.
Copy !req
202. Then the pinata exploded
in a shower of candy.
Copy !req
203. Wow. What kind
of candy?
Copy !req
204. Jolly ranchers.
Copy !req
205. Oh, my god.
Copy !req
206. But... Poof! I was gone.
Copy !req
207. Where were you?
Copy !req
208. Back in my seat
Copy !req
209. taking a long, cool
sip of my corona.
Copy !req
210. No one knew how
I got there.
Copy !req
211. Perhaps not even me.
Copy !req
212. Would you stop
filling his head with nonsense?
Copy !req
213. Bobby, there is a perfectly
logical explanation
Copy !req
214. for your mother's
brief disappearance.
Copy !req
215. I'm listening.
Copy !req
216. Well, uh...
Copy !req
217. You see... Uh...
Copy !req
218. all right,
I will tell you.
Copy !req
219. It was magic.
Copy !req
220. I knew it.
Copy !req
221. Aren't you late
for school?
Copy !req
222. It's sunday.
Copy !req
223. What about sunday school?
Copy !req
224. oop.
Copy !req
225. "'and I will dwell
Copy !req
226. in the house
of the lord forever'
Copy !req
227. growled the bear."
Copy !req
228. oh... Before we go—
children, children—
Copy !req
229. I want to know
Copy !req
230. who everyone's doing
their bible report on next week.
Copy !req
231. Bobby hill?
Copy !req
232. I'm going to do my report
on Jesus.
Copy !req
233. Oh, I love Jesus.
Copy !req
234. Jesus is good,
bobby. Very good.
Copy !req
235. She disappeared
from the pinata
Copy !req
236. and reappeared
in her chair.
Copy !req
237. The question is how.
Copy !req
238. Any theories?
Copy !req
239. You're asking me
if I have theories?
Copy !req
240. About the magic
trick, dale.
Copy !req
241. Oh. Not a clue.
Copy !req
242. Ah! It's done with twins.
Copy !req
243. One peggy in the pinata,
one peggy in the audience.
Copy !req
244. Another woman who
looks like peggy?
Copy !req
245. Smells like peggy?
feels like...?
Copy !req
246. My wife does not
have a twin.
Copy !req
247. You don't know that
for sure and you never will.
Copy !req
248. They destroyed
the proof
Copy !req
249. when they blew up
one of the peggys.
Copy !req
250. boomhauer?
Copy !req
251. I didn't see nothing.
Copy !req
252. Talking about
that cocktail waitress
Copy !req
253. gave me her phone number
Copy !req
254. and go back in that place
Copy !req
255. and ol' ropes and pulleys
all over, man.
Copy !req
256. Yeah, that could work.
Copy !req
257. Peggy is hoisted
by a rope
Copy !req
258. climbs out a heating duct
Copy !req
259. runs through the parking lot...
Copy !req
260. Not even close.
Copy !req
261. Mom already told you
how the trick was done.
Copy !req
262. Magic.
Copy !req
263. I knew it!
Copy !req
264. Bobby, don't you have
some homework to do?
Copy !req
265. no.
Copy !req
266. What about
sunday school homework?
Copy !req
267. oy.
Copy !req
268. "this beginning of miracles
did Jesus in cana of galilee
Copy !req
269. "and manifested
forth his glory
Copy !req
270. and his disciples
believed on him."
Copy !req
271. What do you think?
Copy !req
272. Well, it seems
a little, um... Boring.
Copy !req
273. Yeah. Boring.
Copy !req
274. But I copied it
right out of the bible.
Copy !req
275. Oh. Well, I didn't
mean boring. Not boring.
Copy !req
276. I mean, it's...
Copy !req
277. No, you're right.
Copy !req
278. It stinks.
Copy !req
279. Because you're not
being creative with it.
Copy !req
280. Okay...
Copy !req
281. When I substitute teach
a history class
Copy !req
282. I just don't read the declaration of
independence.
Copy !req
283. I maybe read it
in a funny voice.
Copy !req
284. You know, um...
Copy !req
285. "hey, hey, hey,
we, the people..."
Copy !req
286. You see what I'm saying?
Copy !req
287. let's go, luanne.
Copy !req
288. We're late.
Copy !req
289. Where are you going?
Copy !req
290. out.
Copy !req
291. out?
Copy !req
292. Yes. Out.
Copy !req
293. To see the astounding
herrera at abracapasta.
Copy !req
294. Luanne!
Copy !req
295. Can I come, too?
Copy !req
296. Bobby, honey, no.
Copy !req
297. Your father is just
going to tell you
Copy !req
298. how all the tricks are done
Copy !req
299. and possibly ruin magic
for you forever.
Copy !req
300. Now, wouldn't you rather
stay in your room
Copy !req
301. and do some homework? Huh?
Copy !req
302. Ready?
Copy !req
303. I'll get my coat.
Copy !req
304. She's got her legs
pulled up to her chest.
Copy !req
305. So those are fake feet
sticking out of the box.
Copy !req
306. If it's that
obvious to you
Copy !req
307. imagine how I feel.
Copy !req
308. For my final illusion
Copy !req
309. I will need a volunteer
from the audience—
Copy !req
310. A beautiful womans.
Copy !req
311. Okay, luanne—
like we practiced.
Copy !req
312. Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Copy !req
313. Yes, please.
Copy !req
314. In the back.
Copy !req
315. Yes, please.
Copy !req
316. In the back.
Copy !req
317. Yes, please.
Copy !req
318. I won't really disappear.
Copy !req
319. I won't
really disappear.
Copy !req
320. I won't really disappear.
Copy !req
321. And now,
I step inside the pinata.
Copy !req
322. no! She's supposed
to go in there!
Copy !req
323. That's not how
you do the trick.
Copy !req
324. psst. Have you figured
it out yet?
Copy !req
325. Um... I think
that's my seat.
Copy !req
326. Peggy! Peggy, come here quick!
Copy !req
327. I figured it out.
Copy !req
328. All right,
how is it done?
Copy !req
329. Get in the box. You'll see.
Copy !req
330. Why can't you just tell me?
Copy !req
331. Please.
Copy !req
332. for my next trick
Copy !req
333. I need a beautiful womans.
Copy !req
334. Well, all right.
Copy !req
335. I have sealed
Copy !req
336. the box.
Copy !req
337. Okay, now what?
Copy !req
338. Now you tell me
how that trick was done.
Copy !req
339. What?
Copy !req
340. You're not getting out
till you tell me.
Copy !req
341. Hank hill!
I can wait.
Copy !req
342. Mom, dad, we're going
to be late for church.
Copy !req
343. I'll be right there, honey.
Copy !req
344. Okay.
Copy !req
345. all right.
Copy !req
346. "... but I only saw
one set of footprints
Copy !req
347. 'cause god was holding me."
Copy !req
348. peggy...
Copy !req
349. I'm sorry. I didn't...
Copy !req
350. Thou shalt
not speak to me.
Copy !req
351. Our next report
is from bobby hill:
Copy !req
352. "the amazing Jesus."
Copy !req
353. Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
354. I am the amazing Jesus
Copy !req
355. son of god
and master of prestidigitation!
Copy !req
356. Thank you!
Copy !req
357. Has this ever happened to you?
Copy !req
358. Your followers
want a glass of wine
Copy !req
359. but all you have is water?
Copy !req
360. Well, if you're
the amazing Jesus, no problem.
Copy !req
361. Water into wine!
Copy !req
362. It's a miracle!
Copy !req
363. John 2:11.
Copy !req
364. Thank you.
Copy !req
365. now, we're going
to need something
Copy !req
366. to go with all this wine.
Copy !req
367. Maybe some bread.
Copy !req
368. But how are you going
to feed all these hungry people
Copy !req
369. with just one slice?
Copy !req
370. No problem
if you're the amazing Jesus!
Copy !req
371. Amen!
Copy !req
372. It's a miracle,
ladies and gentlemen.
Copy !req
373. Mark 6:44.
Copy !req
374. Thank you!
Copy !req
375. and now, for
my next miracle
Copy !req
376. I'm going to need
a large wooden cross
Copy !req
377. and a couple of volunteers.
Copy !req
378. no!
no!
Copy !req
379. What you did
was wrong.
Copy !req
380. You're supposed
to love Jesus
Copy !req
381. not make
a mockery of him.
Copy !req
382. Next bumper sticker I see,
you will get up here
Copy !req
383. and you will honk
like the dickens.
Copy !req
384. I was just trying
to make Jesus interesting
Copy !req
385. like mom told me.
Copy !req
386. Our lord and savior
does not need any help
Copy !req
387. keeping people's interest.
Copy !req
388. I-I... I thought bobby would
make a lamb out of cotton balls.
Copy !req
389. Now they're going to stick us
in that dang newsletter.
Copy !req
390. I don't want to be
in the thoughts
Copy !req
391. and prayers
of anyone
Copy !req
392. just because
I'm bobby's dad.
Copy !req
393. Well, you're the one who
dragged him down to abracapasta
Copy !req
394. and told him how
all the tricks were done.
Copy !req
395. You just have to take
all the mystery
Copy !req
396. out of life,
don't you, hank?
Copy !req
397. Don't blame me.
Copy !req
398. You're the one
who got him
Copy !req
399. all worked up
about magic.
Copy !req
400. You filled his head
Copy !req
401. with puffy clouds
and jolly ranchers.
Copy !req
402. What did you think
was going to happen?
Copy !req
403. My folks yelled at me
the whole way home.
Copy !req
404. Then they stopped
Copy !req
405. yelling at me
Copy !req
406. and started yelling
at each other.
Copy !req
407. They're still yelling
at each other.
Copy !req
408. It's all my fault.
Copy !req
409. Sometimes
my parents fight
Copy !req
410. but they have a rule—
never go to sleep angry.
Copy !req
411. They always make up
before going to their bedrooms.
Copy !req
412. How do they make up?
Copy !req
413. They do something
nice for each other
Copy !req
414. like my mom buys my dad
a carton of cigarettes
Copy !req
415. and my dad buys my mom
a duffel bag
Copy !req
416. with his
frequent-smoker points.
Copy !req
417. Yeah! I'll get my parents
Copy !req
418. to do something nice
for each other.
Copy !req
419. That's even better than my plan
Copy !req
420. of turning them both
against luanne.
Copy !req
421. Mom! Mom, come in here quick!
Copy !req
422. I've got soup
in the microwave. What?
Copy !req
423. Dad must have done it.
Copy !req
424. Isn't that
nice of him?
Copy !req
425. Maybe it's
just his way
Copy !req
426. of saying
he's sorry.
Copy !req
427. Oh, hank.
Copy !req
428. Oh, you sweet, sweet,
stubborn, sweet, sweet man.
Copy !req
429. Apology accepted.
Copy !req
430. What apology?
Copy !req
431. I didn't do
anything wrong.
Copy !req
432. Since dad did
Copy !req
433. something nice for you
Copy !req
434. maybe you should tell him
how the trick was done.
Copy !req
435. Oh, now I get it.
Copy !req
436. You thought you'd just
Copy !req
437. slap a few clouds
on bobby's wall
Copy !req
438. and I would give up
herrera's secret?
Copy !req
439. Clouds?
Copy !req
440. Oh, lord, they're back!
Copy !req
441. Right. Nice try,
but it won't work.
Copy !req
442. I didn't paint
these clouds!
Copy !req
443. Don't lie,
to me, hank.
Copy !req
444. I'm not! And
don't you tell me
Copy !req
445. what to do, either!
Copy !req
446. Well, I wouldn't dream of it, you
pig-headed liar!
Copy !req
447. Joseph, I screwed everything up!
Copy !req
448. Hey, look
Copy !req
449. what I can do.
Copy !req
450. my plan completely backfired.
Copy !req
451. Now they're fighting
worse than ever.
Copy !req
452. Oh, man,
do you think
Copy !req
453. they're going
to get divorced?
Copy !req
454. What?
Copy !req
455. I don't know. They could.
Copy !req
456. But don't worry.
Copy !req
457. Lots of people
get divorced.
Copy !req
458. Mr. Dauterive
got divorced.
Copy !req
459. the boy's
12 years old.
Copy !req
460. What does he need clouds
on the wall for?
Copy !req
461. And they don't even
look like clouds.
Copy !req
462. They look like...
Copy !req
463. What, hank?
what do they look like?
Copy !req
464. Well, like... Like big white
blotches of bad painting.
Copy !req
465. Well,
maybe to someone
Copy !req
466. with absolutely
no imagination.
Copy !req
467. I see all sorts of things.
Copy !req
468. Well, if you ask me
Copy !req
469. you've got
too much imagination.
Copy !req
470. Everything's all
loop-de-loops
and flibbertigibbet.
Copy !req
471. I live in
the real world
Copy !req
472. where men
sell propane
Copy !req
473. and propane
accessories.
Copy !req
474. What do you do?
Copy !req
475. I trade in ideas.
Copy !req
476. I am a substitute teacher
and a professional muser.
Copy !req
477. Yeah? Well, ideas don't
put food on the table.
Copy !req
478. Yeah? Well, ideas don't
put food on the table.
oh, really?
Copy !req
479. Oh, really?
Copy !req
480. Well, ideas decide
how to prepare that food.
Copy !req
481. And then propane
cooks it. I win.
Copy !req
482. You don't win.
Copy !req
483. You don't... You can't
just... You can't...
Copy !req
484. I can't just what?
Copy !req
485. You don't just...
Copy !req
486. What? What?
Copy !req
487. Where's your imagination now?
Copy !req
488. Where are those precious ideas
when you need them, huh?
Copy !req
489. Hank, you...
Copy !req
490. You... Oh!
Copy !req
491. oww!
Copy !req
492. oww!
Copy !req
493. what's going on?
Copy !req
494. You stopped fighting.
Copy !req
495. That's right.
Copy !req
496. Everything's just
fine now, honey.
Copy !req
497. But how?
Copy !req
498. Well, uh... Your mother
kicked me in the shin
Copy !req
499. I kicked her back
Copy !req
500. and, well... Well,
that's pretty much it.
Copy !req
501. That doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
502. Well, sure, it does.
Copy !req
503. See, I was mad,
your mother was madder
Copy !req
504. and we sort of... Um...
Copy !req
505. Aw, heck, I guess
it doesn't make any sense
Copy !req
506. but I guess
it doesn't have to.
Copy !req
507. There are just some
things you can't explain.
Copy !req
508. That's right.
Copy !req
509. You're not even trying.
Copy !req
510. Listen up, bobby.
Copy !req
511. I tell you what—
Copy !req
512. Why don't you sit with us here
Copy !req
513. and we'll watch
the clouds go by.
Copy !req
514. Okay.
Copy !req
515. Hey, now, see that one
over there looks like a, uh...
Copy !req
516. Uh... A propane tank.
Copy !req
517. Or a gummi bear.
Copy !req
518. Very good...
both of you.
Copy !req
519. hey, that one looks
like a propane tank, too.
Copy !req
520. And you know what those little
ones over there look like?
Copy !req
521. propane accessories?
Copy !req
522. yes, yes, but which ones?
Copy !req
523. uh... Spatula?
Copy !req
524. now you're just guessing. Peggy?
Copy !req
525. it is a grill brush.
Copy !req
526. And now... The pinata
of death revealed.
Copy !req
527. As soon as our volunteer
gets in the burro
Copy !req
528. a flap beneath the tail opens.
Copy !req
529. She steps out and puts on
a poncho and sombrero
Copy !req
530. and dances offstage.
Copy !req
531. The fire?
Copy !req
532. just a diversion.
Copy !req
533. It appears our volunteer
has vanished. Has she?
Copy !req
534. Hardly.
Copy !req
535. And that is the secret
behind the pinata of death.
Copy !req
536. Please don't tell my dad.
Copy !req
537. you are so clueless.
ha-ha.
Copy !req
