112. - I love this game, moonpie! I love it.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
113. We got two games left.
Guess who we're playing first.
Copy !req
114. Tokyo! Who'd have thought
they'd make it to the play-off?
Copy !req
115. They're good.
They got the old samurai spirit.
Copy !req
116. Yeah, but they're
all about this tall.
Copy !req
117. Two or three little
things make one big thing.
Copy !req
118. They're liable to climb all
over you and eat your lunch!
Copy !req
119. I can't get on a man-to-man
basis with a pygmy or an oriental.
Copy !req
120. I don't know what it is.
Copy !req
121. You were fine
tonight, all of you.
Copy !req
122. Mean! Sharp!
Copy !req
123. - You boys did well again.
- Thank you, mr Bartholomew.
Copy !req
124. - And you, you rolled, you really rolled.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
125. You play like our champion here.
You take lessons from him?
Copy !req
126. No, we just give
lessons to the other team!
Copy !req
127. - How are you, Jonathan?
- I'm feelin' mean, mr Bartholomew.
Copy !req
128. - It's good to see you.
- Jonathan e, that's the name.
Copy !req
129. Houston players come and go,
but the champion plays on.
Copy !req
130. The energy corporation has a hard time
figuring out ways to pay the champion.
Copy !req
131. We can't think up more rewards. You'd
like us to have that problem with you?
Copy !req
132. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
133. Like Jonathan, you play with abandon.
Copy !req
134. But this is Jonathan's season.
Copy !req
135. Every season seems to
be Jonathan's season.
Copy !req
136. But this year,
we've got you on multivision.
Copy !req
137. A special show all about you.
Copy !req
138. No player ever had that before.
Copy !req
139. The whole world will be watching,
because this is your year.
Copy !req
140. You got it, babe!
Copy !req
141. - So, two games left.
- That's right, mr Bartholomew.
Copy !req
142. New York in the final!
Copy !req
143. The team seems healthy.
The champion says he feels mean.
Copy !req
144. No problems here.
Copy !req
145. - What is this? Fruit juice?
- Very healthy, mr Bartholomew.
Copy !req
146. Sweet dreams, moonpie.
Copy !req
147. It's a bad habit you got there.
Copy !req
148. You know what that habit
will make you dream, moonpie?
Copy !req
149. You'll dream you're an executive.
Copy !req
150. You'll have your hands
on all the controls,
Copy !req
151. and you'll wear a grey suit
and you'll make decisions.
Copy !req
152. But you know what, moonpie?
Copy !req
153. You know what those executives dream about,
out there behind their desks?
Copy !req
154. They dream they're
great rollerballers.
Copy !req
155. They dream they're Jonathan.
They have muscles.
Copy !req
156. - They bash in faces.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
157. Ready to go.
Can't keep these boys here all night.
Copy !req
158. Jonathan, come and see me tomorrow.
Copy !req
159. Good night, mr Bartholomew.
Copy !req
160. Shh! Quiet, quiet.
Copy !req
161. This is a great team.
A great city.
Copy !req
162. Great stuff out there tonight.
Copy !req
163. Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
164. Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
165. - Good morning. Brutal game last night.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
166. - So it's Tokyo in the semi-finals?
- That's right.
Copy !req
167. Continue to hold the
calls, all right?
Copy !req
168. Come in, Jonathan. Keep silence with
me for a minute, won't you?
Copy !req
169. It's important to have a
place to think things out.
Copy !req
170. You have your ranch. I know you
take a lot of pleasure in it.
Copy !req
171. I cut my finger.
Copy !req
172. Sorry. Here.
Copy !req
173. You've had an amazing
career, Jonathan.
Copy !req
174. You know how proud we
are of the Houston team,
Copy !req
175. and what we think
of you at energy.
Copy !req
176. But now, there are
executives who want you out.
Copy !req
177. Sir?
Copy !req
178. You've had 10 years in
this game, Jonathan.
Copy !req
179. Longer than anyone ever.
Copy !req
180. - Retire... how can I do that?
- On your special programme.
Copy !req
181. Some people feel this programme should
be used to announce your retirement.
Copy !req
182. Who wants that?
Copy !req
183. When this special was first
planned by us here at energy,
Copy !req
184. we saw it as a good thing.
Copy !req
185. Now the executive
directorate wants a change.
Copy !req
186. The programme is scheduled,
the world is waiting,
Copy !req
187. so this does seem
the perfect time.
Copy !req
188. The team, they depend on me.
Copy !req
189. Jonathan, let's think
this through together.
Copy !req
190. You know how the game serves us.
Copy !req
191. It has a definite
social purpose.
Copy !req
192. Nations are bankrupt, gone.
Copy !req
193. None of that tribal
warfare any more.
Copy !req
194. Even the corporate wars
are a thing of the past.
Copy !req
195. I know that...
Copy !req
196. So now we have the
majors and their executives.
Copy !req
197. Transport, food, communication,
Copy !req
198. housing, luxury, energy.
Copy !req
199. A few of us making decisions on a
global basis for the common good.
Copy !req
200. The team is a unit.
It plays with certain rhythms.
Copy !req
201. So does an executive
team, Jonathan.
Copy !req
202. Now everyone has all the
comforts, you know that.
Copy !req
203. No poverty, no sickness.
Copy !req
204. No needs and many luxuries,
Copy !req
205. which you enjoy just as if you
were in the executive class.
Copy !req
206. Corporate society takes
care of everything.
Copy !req
207. And all it asks of anyone,
all it has ever asked of anyone ever,
Copy !req
208. is not to interfere with
management decisions.
Copy !req
209. I don't mean to resist.
I'm just trying to understand.
Copy !req
210. This is for your own benefit.
You must know that, Jonathan.
Copy !req
211. All decisions concerning you are.
Copy !req
212. Well, I lost Ella.
Copy !req
213. They took my wife,
because an executive wanted her.
Copy !req
214. I won't review all that again.
Copy !req
215. That was before I took over and
I had nothing to do with it.
Copy !req
216. From what I hear, your wife
wanted to leave herself.
Copy !req
217. So, now you're going to retire.
Copy !req
218. That shouldn't be
too hard for you.
Copy !req
219. Stupid game, after all.
Awful game.
Copy !req
220. You ought to be glad
to be out of it.
Copy !req
221. I don't...
Copy !req
222. I don't know, mr Bartholomew.
I just don't know.
Copy !req
223. I realise you had
nothing to do with Ella.
Copy !req
224. - Jonathan, I...
- But...
Copy !req
225. You're right.
Copy !req
226. I mean, I oughta do...
Copy !req
227. I oughta be happy
to do what you say.
Copy !req
228. Take your time. Take a few days.
Copy !req
229. You've just come through a game.
You're tired.
Copy !req
230. Go to your ranch,
but think about it.
Copy !req
231. And understand it.
Copy !req
232. Do understand it.
Copy !req
233. Because I don't
understand your resistance.
Copy !req
234. And I don't think
anyone else will either.
Copy !req
235. - Is clete here?
- In the training room.
Copy !req
236. I'll go say hello.
Copy !req
237. Jonathan?
Copy !req
238. Look what I got for breakfast.
Copy !req
239. It's a notice from
the corporation.
Copy !req
240. What's it say?
Copy !req
241. That I should get out of here.
You know, go away, vanish.
Copy !req
242. That kind of thing.
You know anything about that?
Copy !req
243. Yeah, I kinda heard
something about it.
Copy !req
244. You knew it was coming.
Copy !req
245. We've been together six months.
Copy !req
246. Didn't you even
wanna say goodbye?
Copy !req
247. - We'll talk about it later, ok?
- You didn't, did you?
Copy !req
248. You didn't even want me
here when you got back.
Copy !req
249. I gotta go see cletus.
Copy !req
250. - What do you want me to do now?
- I want you to take it easy.
Copy !req
251. I want you to go in and
fix us something to eat.
Copy !req
252. Clete's come a long way and I'm hungry.
All right?
Copy !req
253. Jonathan?
Copy !req
254. I'm glad you're all right.
Copy !req
255. Come on. All right, come on.
Copy !req
256. - I ain't tired enough.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
257. It caught you, didn't it, baby?
Two games running.
Copy !req
258. - What?
- You did that in the last two games.
Copy !req
259. Shoulder forward left.
You're standing on your left skate.
Copy !req
260. Do that in Tokyo, they'll take your
arm home for lunch. You with me?
Copy !req
261. Ok. You practise
that for me a little?
Copy !req
262. Hell, I forget which
corporation is which.
Copy !req
263. Any ass knows that fire's energy.
Copy !req
264. Who wrote the music?
Where does the music come from?
Copy !req
265. - Ok if I have one of these?
- Go on, have a holiday.
Copy !req
266. I forget what
corporation's running what city.
Copy !req
267. Chicago's still the food city.
Copy !req
268. But what about Indianapolis?
Whatever happened to that town?
Copy !req
269. Whatever happened to mackie?
Copy !req
270. Everything was much simpler when I
was a kid. We still had three nations.
Copy !req
271. That was before the corporate wars,
even before rollerball. Before everything.
Copy !req
272. Do you believe in kids?
Copy !req
273. I remember hearing about the
national football league and the world cup.
Copy !req
274. - Where are you going?
- Indianapolis.
Copy !req
275. What do you know about
that stuff, clete?
Copy !req
276. You know, how the corporations got
started, about the corporate wars.
Copy !req
277. They were nasty!
Copy !req
278. - Well, nobody talks about that.
- Well, except for friends.
Copy !req
279. Yeah.
Copy !req
280. I remember your rookie year.
Copy !req
281. You were mean and tight.
The best player I ever coached.
Copy !req
282. Nobody could lay a hand on
you that year. Remember?
Copy !req
283. Yeah.
Copy !req
284. Look, I gotta ask you something.
Copy !req
285. That figures.
Go ahead, I'm listening.
Copy !req
286. Well, there's something
going on with the game.
Copy !req
287. I don't know what it is.
I don't think I'm supposed to know.
Copy !req
288. - What's that?
- They want me to quit.
Copy !req
289. Why would they want
you to do that?
Copy !req
290. I don't know. That's what
I'd like you to find out.
Copy !req
291. I can try.
Copy !req
292. I hear just about everything going
on in the game, one way or another.
Copy !req
293. That's what I mean. I can't think of
another executive who'd tell me a thing.
Copy !req
294. Like I say,
Copy !req
295. I'll try.
Copy !req
296. - But I don't think there's much...
- Look, no troubles for either of us, clete.
Copy !req
297. Just find out what you can.
Copy !req
298. Trust me, Jonathan.
You know you can.
Copy !req
299. Sure. Well, sit down.
Copy !req
300. Yeah!
Copy !req
301. Thanks, boys.
Copy !req
302. Good show, Johnny.
Copy !req
303. That's the Houston stride.
Copy !req
304. You boys wanna play for Houston,
you'll have to learn it.
Copy !req
305. We pride ourselves on
being a power team.
Copy !req
306. - That's right.
- We're power, we're mean.
Copy !req
307. That doesn't mean to say we like to
have you hanging back there on a rail,
Copy !req
308. just fightin' somebody in section
a, when you should be in section b.
Copy !req
309. I'm coming up to score and
you ain't in the section,
Copy !req
310. - it won't do us no good.
- That's right.
Copy !req
311. Who's the two new catchers here?
Copy !req
312. Right. Gimme that ball.
Copy !req
313. Don't stick your hand in
that gutter too quick.
Copy !req
314. Wait till this ball
comes down on the track.
Copy !req
315. Don't get too anxious.
That thing'll take your arm off.
Copy !req
316. Now the bikers.
Copy !req
317. A biker might sacrifice a
little three-minute penalty,
Copy !req
318. run over the top of a skater, if he
feels he's skating a little too good.
Copy !req
319. So we have a few methods here in Houston.
There's hundreds.
Copy !req
320. One, of course, is to use this shield.
Use your pads. Use what you got.
Copy !req
321. Drive that arm in there.
Copy !req
322. Keep your feet forward. Hit, move,
you get away from the wreck.
Copy !req
323. Don't come across in here.
You get all twisted.
Copy !req
324. Or if a biker's sitting up nice and high,
a lot of guys like to ride high,
Copy !req
325. drag one off in mid-air.
I hurt you, blue?
Copy !req
326. I wouldn't hurt him for the world.
Copy !req
327. Now a third method, and the one
perfected by a little friend of mine...
Copy !req
328. - The swoop.
- Whoa!
Copy !req
329. The swooper, that's me!
Copy !req
330. Hang up on the rail,
use the speed of the track,
Copy !req
331. come down and drop-kick a biker.
Copy !req
332. Say, excuse me.
Copy !req
333. You're not paying a whole
lot of attention, are you?
Copy !req
334. - What's this dude's name?
- That's our new speedball from Manila.
Copy !req
335. Yeah, you know. That's toughie.
Copy !req
336. Come on up, tough.
Copy !req
337. He's a big honker.
Copy !req
338. Say, why don't you do me
and the boys a favour?
Copy !req
339. Since you know all there is
to know, we'd appreciate it.
Copy !req
340. Why not give us a demonstration?
Show us how you made that big rep.
Copy !req
341. Just skate around
and just take me out?
Copy !req
342. Go get him, toughie.
Copy !req
343. Now, eyes... use 'em.
Don't lock your eyes in one spot.
Copy !req
344. This game isn't all muscle.
Use your head.
Copy !req
345. Lock your eyes on the
target and keep...
Copy !req
346. Ears.
They're real important, too.
Copy !req
347. If there's anything I love,
it's luxury centres.
Copy !req
348. When I get my privilege card,
I know what I'm gonna get me, too.
Copy !req
349. - A secretary.
- What for?
Copy !req
350. You planning on
becoming an executive?
Copy !req
351. I just need one.
About this tall.
Copy !req
352. Yeah?
Why don't you give it a rest?
Copy !req
353. - Can I help you, please?
- Yeah. I tried to order some books.
Copy !req
354. They said I had to appear
at the centre personally.
Copy !req
355. That's right, this is our circulation unit.
Make your choice here or by catalogue.
Copy !req
356. There must be a mistake.
These books are classified.
Copy !req
357. They have been
transcribed and summarised.
Copy !req
358. - Who summarises them?
- I suppose the computers do.
Copy !req
359. - What do you need books for?
- I wanna study up on some things.
Copy !req
360. You could go to the computer
centre where the real librarians are.
Copy !req
361. But we have all the edited versions here.
Anything I think you'd want.
Copy !req
362. Let's see, then. This is not a library
and you're really not a librarian.
Copy !req
363. I'm only a clerk, that's right.
I'm sorry, really.
Copy !req
364. The books are really in computer
banks being summarised? Where is that?
Copy !req
365. There's a computer
bank in Washington.
Copy !req
366. The biggest is in Geneva.
That's a nice place to visit.
Copy !req
367. - I guess that's where the books are now.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
368. It's not that exactly.
Copy !req
369. Yeah, but books, Jonathan?
Copy !req
370. Anything you wanna know, you
could hire a corporate teacher.
Copy !req
371. You could call somebody
up, use your privilege card.
Copy !req
372. I can't. That's just it.
Copy !req
373. I think there's something going on.
Somebody's pushing me.
Copy !req
374. Who? Bartholomew?
Copy !req
375. But you're Jonathan e. Everybody knows you.
You've got everything!
Copy !req
376. You know you'll be treated right.
You always have been.
Copy !req
377. Yeah. I don't know.
Copy !req
378. Well, I do know. We're living good.
You know we are.
Copy !req
379. I found this to wear.
Is it all right?
Copy !req
380. That's the uniform of the house.
Copy !req
381. I'm Daphne.
Copy !req
382. Yeah. That figures.
Copy !req
383. It's all right.
Copy !req
384. Here. Wear these, too.
Copy !req
385. That's right. No penalties.
Limited substitutions.
Copy !req
386. You can handle it!
You can beat Tokyo!
Copy !req
387. All we gotta do is
change our tactics.
Copy !req
388. There's always been rule changes.
You know that!
Copy !req
389. It gets more people to watch the
game, that's all there is to it.
Copy !req
390. You all signed contracts to finish the
season, no matter what the alterations.
Copy !req
391. - Every last one of you signed.
- See, now we all signed a contract...
Copy !req
392. It doesn't matter! We're not gonna lose,
no matter how they change the game.
Copy !req
393. That's right. That's right.
Copy !req
394. All it means is a
change of strategy.
Copy !req
395. We knock out their bikers
early, then their skaters.
Copy !req
396. Don't try to score yourselves
and the game's yours.
Copy !req
397. Watch yourselves out there.
They're playing the same rules we are.
Copy !req
398. It's gonna be rough.
But it's still basically the same game.
Copy !req
399. And the team with the power wins.
Copy !req
400. That's easy to say, man!
Copy !req
401. Hey, rusty.
Copy !req
402. Hey! Wait a minute.
Copy !req
403. Hey, rusty, come on.
Copy !req
404. Listen, you were talking
about them contracts.
Copy !req
405. How come everyone else has got
to play with the no-penalty rule,
Copy !req
406. and they're
pressuring me to quit?
Copy !req
407. I don't know.
Copy !req
408. But can't you do what you're told?
For your own good, get out.
Copy !req
409. L... don't wanna leave the guys to
play Tokyo with the rules breaking down.
Copy !req
410. Jonathan, it doesn't
matter what you want!
Copy !req
411. You think about that.
Copy !req
412. These are in slow-motion to show the
impact of your blows on opponents.
Copy !req
413. Yeah, fine.
Copy !req
414. We want you to
approve the sequences.
Copy !req
415. It's, erm...
Copy !req
416. It's all fine with me. Anything.
Copy !req
417. I really don't see
why I'm needed here.
Copy !req
418. Well, the energy people
want you to be satisfied.
Copy !req
419. There, now.
Isn't that a marvellous shot?
Copy !req
420. Sure.
Copy !req
421. I'm a stat freak myself.
Isn't that perverse?
Copy !req
422. Have you got
anything I can take?
Copy !req
423. Just take one.
Copy !req
424. Statistics?
Copy !req
425. Yes. The greatest number of
points scored in a single game - 18.
Copy !req
426. The highest velocity of a ball when
actually fielded by a skater - 120mph.
Copy !req
427. Most deaths...
Copy !req
428. Please. Don't do that.
Copy !req
429. Most deaths - 9. Rome versus
Pittsburgh, December last year.
Copy !req
430. The greatest number of
players put out of action
Copy !req
431. by a single player in
a single game - 13.
Copy !req
432. A world record,
courtesy of your dear self.
Copy !req
433. There have been studies of
stat freaks in rollerball.
Copy !req
434. Some go to the track, but they
never take their eyes off the big board.
Copy !req
435. What's this?
Copy !req
436. I always wonder if a rollerball
player sees himself as a class apart.
Copy !req
437. "Hello... pause.”
Copy !req
438. "I'm Jonathan e... smile."
Copy !req
439. "I would like..." This for me?
Copy !req
440. Very astute. Yes.
It's your retirement announcement.
Copy !req
441. Your special is already
scheduled all over the world.
Copy !req
442. You're supposed to read this
as part of the programme.
Copy !req
443. - What sort of pill did you give me?
- Pure aphrodisiac, daph. Enjoy yourself.
Copy !req
444. Can't we finish up
here and go home?
Copy !req
445. You are being recorded.
Copy !req
446. - Feeling woozy?
- Try to read the announcement.
Copy !req
447. I'm all right.
Copy !req
448. Why don't you read the...?
Copy !req
449. How many assignments
you been on, daph?
Copy !req
450. You're good at what you're good at,
so you must've been around some.
Copy !req
451. A lot of girls have stayed
with me, but you know that.
Copy !req
452. Never seemed to mind.
Copy !req
453. But odd thoughts I've had
about you, daph. Odd thoughts.
Copy !req
454. - Wondered if you'd been briefed on me.
- I'll ask you to read...
Copy !req
455. Yeah, a lot of things occur to me, daph.
A lot of things occur to you?
Copy !req
456. You look terrible.
Copy !req
457. You do look terrible.
Copy !req
458. Come on.
Copy !req
459. You shouldn't take anything
offered to you just like that.
Copy !req
460. - What was in it?
- Nothing to hurt you.
Copy !req
461. You're too trusting.
Ever think of that?
Copy !req
462. Hook 'em deep now!
Copy !req
463. They're good boys, but
they're a bit rough.
Copy !req
464. Thank you.
Copy !req
465. As you know, the Tokyo
game is coming up.
Copy !req
466. You will remember that the Tokyo
team uses karate and hapkido techniques.
Copy !req
467. We will review these techniques with
special attention to deathblows.
Copy !req
468. Same lecture every year!
Copy !req
469. There are certain body areas that
skilled opponents will endeavour to strike.
Copy !req
470. What we got for our skilled opponents
is the Houston fist-in-the-face technique!
Copy !req
471. Especially in a game
with no penalties...
Copy !req
472. Gotta get mad, all right? Play hard. Don't
matter if they're all tiny little men.
Copy !req
473. Especially in a game with no
penalties and limited substitutions.
Copy !req
474. - Get mad and fly!
- Please...
Copy !req
475. I know about certain body areas, too.
We gotta hit those guys in the ganglia.
Copy !req
476. - Where?
- In the ganglia.
Copy !req
477. That's a mess of
nerves under the ear.
Copy !req
478. You gotta drive the jawbone up in that
mess of nerves and it rings a bell.
Copy !req
479. You must understand...
Copy !req
480. The Tokyo team has a very
eccentric playing style.
Copy !req
481. And no penalties! If I go down,
I know my team is with me, right?
Copy !req
482. - Please...
- Brute speed!
Copy !req
483. Familiarise yourself with the
basic fighting-art techniques.
Copy !req
484. Nobody's gonna take
us, rules or no rules!
Copy !req
485. - Go on.
- This is the Houston team!
Copy !req
486. - Rules or no rules!
- We fight for each other!
Copy !req
487. Houston! Houston! Huston!
Copy !req
488. They're really quite beautiful,
in a wild kind of way.
Copy !req
489. - I can almost smell the lions.
- Don't be silly. They're made in Detroit.
Copy !req
490. They're android.
They're all programmed.
Copy !req
491. That's right, the whole
game is played by robots.
Copy !req
492. They look like men
and they bleed!
Copy !req
493. Not so loud, they'll hear you.
Copy !req
494. It'll ensure stability, expansion and
profits for the planetary enterprise.
Copy !req
495. - What do you think about that?
- You make it sound absolutely romantic.
Copy !req
496. He's gorgeous,
absolutely gorgeous.
Copy !req
497. I know, but he's so intelligent.
I'm practically living on bright pills.
Copy !req
498. Hey, here he is.
Copy !req
499. Hey, Johnny boy! Hey, kid!
Copy !req
500. Come on, let's hear it. Come on!
Copy !req
501. - Gimme a hand. I got too much here.
- Behave yourself.
Copy !req
502. Hello, mackie.
Copy !req
503. Well, how you been?
Copy !req
504. It's your night tonight, Jonathan.
Copy !req
505. Having a good time?
Copy !req
506. I'm glad you're here.
Copy !req
507. I'm here with an executive.
Copy !req
508. He asked all about you.
Copy !req
509. Wanted to know if I enjoyed you.
Copy !req
510. Hey, rookie! Give her your hand.
Copy !req
511. It's too much!
Copy !req
512. - What about the new game?
- I haven't heard much about it.
Copy !req
513. The rule changes were
announced a week ago.
Copy !req
514. - Who changed them?
- I've been trying to find out.
Copy !req
515. Rules or no rules,
it's still the same game.
Copy !req
516. - I'm looking forward to the programme.
- When you see that screen replay...
Copy !req
517. - Did you hear about Evans?
- What?
Copy !req
518. - He's out. Gone.
- No kidding.
Copy !req
519. The old man? Who got him?
Copy !req
520. - What?
- I said who got him?
Copy !req
521. The crocodile.
Copy !req
522. Do you like poetry?
Copy !req
523. Why don't you come upstairs?
I got a poem for you.
Copy !req
524. Welcome, sports enthusiasts everywhere.
Copy !req
525. Tonight, multivision trains its cameras
on the amazing career of Jonathan e.
Copy !req
526. As Houston began to mould itself
into a world championship team,
Copy !req
527. - the attacking style of Jonathan e...
- Jonathan, you're on!
Copy !req
528. Has always been the
team's strongest asset.
Copy !req
529. Yes, the game seems
invented for him.
Copy !req
530. Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
531. Look, I talked to
everybody I could.
Copy !req
532. There is something going on,
you're right about that.
Copy !req
533. Nobody will talk about it,
I mean nobody!
Copy !req
534. It's hard finding anything out, Jonathan.
You know that.
Copy !req
535. Hell, nobody even knows the names of
the men on the directorate any more.
Copy !req
536. Look, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
537. - They want you out, you know that.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
538. But do you know who they are?
Copy !req
539. Bartholomew, I guess.
Copy !req
540. Above Bartholomew.
It's the executive directorate.
Copy !req
541. - Why would they worry about me?
- Well, they do.
Copy !req
542. They're even after the old man because
he didn't get your retirement announced.
Copy !req
543. - Why put the programme on without it?
- I think they had to.
Copy !req
544. They didn't want to.
It's very tricky.
Copy !req
545. Jonathan, there's one
thing you ought to know.
Copy !req
546. Look, nobody's said it,
but I'm sure of it.
Copy !req
547. They're afraid of you, Jonathan.
Copy !req
548. All the way to the top, they are.
Copy !req
549. What are they afraid of me for?
Copy !req
550. Don't go yet.
We're showing some replays.
Copy !req
551. Let's see 'em then!
Copy !req
552. Mr Bartholomew would like to see you now.
He's in the study.
Copy !req
553. Come on, hurry up!
Copy !req
554. You know I've always considered
your situation, Jonathan,
Copy !req
555. and your needs.
Copy !req
556. Now you have to
consider mine and ours.
Copy !req
557. I'm considering it,
mr Bartholomew.
Copy !req
558. No player is greater
than the game itself.
Copy !req
559. It's a significant game
in a number of ways.
Copy !req
560. The velocities of the ball,
the awful physics of the track.
Copy !req
561. And in the middle of it all,
men playing by an odd set of rules.
Copy !req
562. It's not a game a man is supposed
to grow strong in, Jonathan.
Copy !req
563. - You appreciate that, don't you?
- More and more, mr Bartholomew.
Copy !req
564. Shoot that statue! That's the one!
Shoot that!
Copy !req
565. Hey, the tree!
Copy !req
566. You must take good advice.
Copy !req
567. You're not to play against Tokyo.
You're not to play again.
Copy !req
568. - I want some concessions.
- Concessions?
Copy !req
569. Believe me, I'd be happy to talk
a deal, Jonathan. I love deals.
Copy !req
570. But this situation
is much, much simpler.
Copy !req
571. This multivision event
tonight was very embarrassing.
Copy !req
572. For me and for others.
Copy !req
573. It might be I won't ever find out why
I've been asked to leave the game,
Copy !req
574. but I do know I can get some
concessions and I want them.
Copy !req
575. You missed!
Copy !req
576. I wanna see Ella my wife.
Arrange it so I can see her again.
Copy !req
577. That's not easy, Jonathan.
Copy !req
578. I want other concessions,
too, mr Bartholomew.
Copy !req
579. Look at that!
Copy !req
580. I've never seen anything like
that in my life! That's incredible!
Copy !req
581. That's terrific. Terrific!
Copy !req
582. Specifically, you're
bargaining for the right to stay
Copy !req
583. in a horrible social spectacle.
Copy !req
584. It has its purposes. You've served
those purposes brilliantly.
Copy !req
585. Why argue when you can quit?
Copy !req
586. And you say you want to
know why decisions are made.
Copy !req
587. Your future comfort is assured.
You don't need to know.
Copy !req
588. Why argue about decisions you're not
powerful enough to make for yourself?
Copy !req
589. Energy will treat you well,
you know that.
Copy !req
590. If the rule changes stay,
mr Bartholomew, I'm playing with my team.
Copy !req
591. Too late. The rule change
is scheduled and announced.
Copy !req
592. There's no going back.
You've seen to that.
Copy !req
593. I'll see you in Tokyo.
Copy !req
594. You can be made to quit.
You can be forced.
Copy !req
595. You can't make me quit.
Copy !req
596. Don't tell me I can't.
Don't ever say that! I can!
Copy !req
597. You can be stopped!
Copy !req
598. Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
599. You could have killed someone!
Copy !req
600. - It's all going too fast. I'm not packed.
- You're not going, daph.
Copy !req
601. Those bags are ready. Here.
Take this extra hat.
Copy !req
602. Sir, I've had a call.
I have to go over to energy.
Copy !req
603. - You're not going to Tokyo?
- What do you mean, I'm not going?
Copy !req
604. I hope this isn't
an inconvenience.
Copy !req
605. No, no, it's no problem.
Copy !req
606. I'm supposed to go with you.
Copy !req
607. Well, what's that mean?
Copy !req
608. Who told you you're
supposed to go with me?
Copy !req
609. Nobody told me.
Copy !req
610. Listen, Jonathan, I really wanna go
with you. I do really. You'll need me.
Copy !req
611. Get yourself another
assignment, will you, daph?
Copy !req
612. Everybody's an assignment.
Life's an assignment.
Copy !req
613. You better do as you're told, Jonathan.
That's all I have to say.
Copy !req
614. Are you threatening me?
Copy !req
615. - Don't be here when I come back.
- You won't be back, Johnny boy...
Copy !req
616. Don't try to frighten me,
Daphne, you don't know how.
Copy !req
617. You go tell them people that I'm
going to Tokyo and you're not?
Copy !req
618. - You tell them that.
- No!
Copy !req
619. Ciao!
Copy !req
620. Keller.
Copy !req
621. Make sure my gear gets
to the track in Tokyo.
Copy !req
622. I'm gonna travel with the team this trip.
You call transportation and tell them.
Copy !req
623. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
624. What chance does Houston have
of defeating Tokyo tonight?
Copy !req
625. Both teams have fine
players and different styles.
Copy !req
626. - What do you say, moonpie?
- Yeah, yeah...
Copy !req
627. It's not an even match, see, because the
Tokyo team has all these little short guys!
Copy !req
628. Tokyo! Tokyo! Tokyo!
Copy !req
629. What about the rule changes?
Copy !req
630. Well, at Houston, we kinda
play a wide-open system.
Copy !req
631. Will you comment on a game where
the rules are always changing?
Copy !req
632. The game's always had rule changes.
They don't affect the good teams.
Copy !req
633. You're a great new player.
What's the secret of your success?
Copy !req
634. It's no secret. I just imitate him
and plastic surgery keeps me beautiful.
Copy !req
635. There are rumours that the last game of
the season will be without time limits.
Copy !req
636. Any comments?
Copy !req
637. I don't think it'll come to that.
It's still a game.
Copy !req
638. There are also other rumours
you're retiring from the game.
Copy !req
639. Here I am.
Copy !req
640. Corporate society was
an inevitable destiny,
Copy !req
641. a material dream world.
Copy !req
642. Everything man touched
became attainable.
Copy !req
643. I've been touched all my life,
one way or the other.
Copy !req
644. Either caressed or hit.
Copy !req
645. Don't much seem to
matter which any more.
Copy !req
646. I guess that's why I
wanna see Ella again.
Copy !req
647. To see if I still
feel things now.
Copy !req
648. You know what I mean?
Copy !req
649. Yeah...
Copy !req
650. There are some
other things, too.
Copy !req
651. They took Ella away from me.
Copy !req
652. Now they're trying
to push me out.
Copy !req
653. I'd sure like to find out why.
Copy !req
654. I think I'll go to one
of them computer centres.
Copy !req
655. See what I can find out.
Copy !req
656. Finding out things, that's...
Copy !req
657. That's the thing, moonpie.
Copy !req
658. Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
659. Hello, everyone, and
welcome to Tokyo
Copy !req
660. and tonight's
dramatic semi-final match
Copy !req
661. for the world's rollerball championship
between hosts Tokyo and Houston.
Copy !req
662. Big rule changes tonight.
Copy !req
663. There will be no penalties called
and there is limited substitution.
Copy !req
664. Ladies and gentlemen, please
stand for our corporate hymn.
Copy !req
665. Tokyo! Tokyo!
Copy !req
666. The controller for tonight's game
cc Nakamura.
Copy !req
667. - You all right?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
Copy !req
668. I just wanna get out there
and hit them little fellas.
Copy !req
669. Listen, stay close now,
all right?
Copy !req
670. Yeah. Ok, Johnny.
Let's go, let's go!
Copy !req
671. Attention.
Your attention, please.
Copy !req
672. Rule changes for tonight's game:
Limited substitution and no penalties.
Copy !req
673. The controller checks the
computer, ready to fire,
Copy !req
674. and the first ball is fired,
the game is under way.
Copy !req
675. Remember, there'll be no
penalties and limited substitutions.
Copy !req
676. This promises to be a
punishing game for both teams.
Copy !req
677. - Here they come!
- Next time around.
Copy !req
678. - Spread! Spread out!”
- All right, boys! Go ahead!
Copy !req
679. Stick him!
Copy !req
680. Stay close now, stay close.
Copy !req
681. Stick with 'em!
Copy !req
682. Go, go, go!
Copy !req
683. There's a scramble in
front of the goal.
Copy !req
684. Kubo, on his knees, scores!
Copy !req
685. Kubo scores from a kneeling
position in front of the goal.
Copy !req
686. And Tokyo takes a 1-0
lead over Houston.
Copy !req
687. This is a fast-paced game
tonight with Tokyo leading 1-0.
Copy !req
688. Houston being pressured
by the faster Tokyo team.
Copy !req
689. The second ball is fired.
Copy !req
690. - Spread out!
- Slow 'em down!
Copy !req
691. Spread out!
Copy !req
692. The faster tactics
of the Tokyo team.
Copy !req
693. And now Houston, their bikers
and skaters form a wall.
Copy !req
694. - Watch the ball!
- Jam 'em outta there!
Copy !req
695. Bike, bike!
Copy !req
696. Bike him! Bike him!
Copy !req
697. You got him, baby, you got him!
Copy !req
698. The ball is fired,
Copy !req
699. the second period is
underway with Tokyo leading.
Copy !req
700. Houston forced to come
from behind tonight.
Copy !req
701. Here you go.
Copy !req
702. Watch the man behind me!
Watch the man behind me!
Copy !req
703. The ball is in play again.
It's scooped up by Carter for Houston.
Copy !req
704. Houston on the offensive attack.
Copy !req
705. Come on!
Copy !req
706. Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
707. Right in the slot,
through three men and he scores!
Copy !req
708. Houston goal scored
by Jonathan e!
Copy !req
709. The time - 12.05, second period.
Copy !req
710. - I love this game!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
711. Some injuries here as three
players are helped off the track.
Copy !req
712. - Sprint!
- Yeah, right!
Copy !req
713. Come on, moonpie! Over here!
Over here!
Copy !req
714. - What the hell are those guys doing?
- I don't know. Stay close.
Copy !req
715. I told you to stay close.
Copy !req
716. All right, turn loose
next time around.
Copy !req
717. All right? Go on,
go on, go on, go on!
Copy !req
718. Moonpie!
Copy !req
719. I got him, I got him!
Let me have him!
Copy !req
720. Take it easy. Everything'll be all right.
Sit down over here.
Copy !req
721. Sit right here.
Everything's gonna be all right.
Copy !req
722. Medic, hey, medic, come over here!
Come on!
Copy !req
723. Moonpie!
Copy !req
724. - Come on, moonpie.
- Come on, get some help!
Copy !req
725. Set him down, set him down!
Copy !req
726. Just a bit more. Breathe.
Copy !req
727. Come on now, moonpie.
Copy !req
728. Come on, moonpie!
Copy !req
729. Come on, Tokyo! Go get 'em!
Copy !req
730. Go, go, go, Tokyo!
Copy !req
731. Jonathan, watch yourself out there!
Now, watch them!
Copy !req
732. Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
733. Keep behind, blue.
Copy !req
734. Look out!
Copy !req
735. Jonathan e!
Time in the third period - 11:35.
Copy !req
736. Sprint! Sprint!
Copy !req
737. Roll out! Roll out!
Copy !req
738. Blue!
Copy !req
739. This way, please.
Copy !req
740. May I say first, please, that you
played a superb game in our city.
Copy !req
741. Thank you.
Copy !req
742. A simple problem, yet I know
it is difficult for you.
Copy !req
743. Your team-mate has no
family we can contact,
Copy !req
744. and permission is required
now before consummating matters.
Copy !req
745. So, he's technically dead?
Copy !req
746. Yes, unfortunately.
Copy !req
747. His heart and lungs will function,
but his brain is, er...
Copy !req
748. It has expired.
Copy !req
749. From the first minutes, it was hopeless.
I believe this was explained to you.
Copy !req
750. He's warm.
Copy !req
751. Yes. But if you will, please,
you must sign a release form.
Copy !req
752. It is required.
Copy !req
753. Does he, er...?
Copy !req
754. Does he dream?
Copy !req
755. No, there is no brain wave at
all, no sort of consciousness.
Copy !req
756. Just a deep coma, a vegetable.
Copy !req
757. No dreams, nothing.
Copy !req
758. But even a plant, er...
Feels something.
Copy !req
759. Who can say? Please.
Copy !req
760. It... senses life.
Copy !req
761. I mean, it, er...
Turns towards the sun.
Copy !req
762. - It's alive, isn't it?
- You must sign.
Copy !req
763. You...
Copy !req
764. You just leave him the way he is.
Copy !req
765. - Just leave him as he is.
- You must sign. There's no other way.
Copy !req
766. - Arrangements will be made.
- Please!
Copy !req
767. - There are hospital rules that...
- No, there aren't.
Copy !req
768. There aren't any rules at all.
Copy !req
769. Let me know if you
have any problems.
Copy !req
770. You won't find any
answers in Geneva.
Copy !req
771. Take care of your arm.
Copy !req
772. In my opinion, we are confronted
here with something of a situation.
Copy !req
773. Otherwise I would not have
presumed to take up your time.
Copy !req
774. Once again, it concerns
the case of Jonathan e.
Copy !req
775. We don't want anything
extraordinary to happen to Jonathan.
Copy !req
776. We've already agreed on that.
Copy !req
777. No accidents, nothing unnatural.
Copy !req
778. The game was created to demonstrate
the futility of individual effort.
Copy !req
779. Let the game do its work.
Copy !req
780. The energy corporation
has done all it can.
Copy !req
781. If a champion defeats the meaning
for which the game was designed,
Copy !req
782. then he must lose.
Copy !req
783. I hope you agree
with my reasoning.
Copy !req
784. Thank you all.
Copy !req
785. Will you follow me, please?
Copy !req
786. Hello! Hello! Yes, it is!
Copy !req
787. The famous Jonathan e.
Hard to believe.
Copy !req
788. Sorry things are in a mess.
The rollerball champion. Wonderful!
Copy !req
789. Not many people come
to see us, you know.
Copy !req
790. We're not easy to
talk to, zero and I.
Copy !req
791. We're a little
confused again here today.
Copy !req
792. This is embarrassing.
Copy !req
793. It's embarrassing
to misplace things.
Copy !req
794. - You've misplaced some data?
- The whole of the 13th century.
Copy !req
795. Misplaced the computers,
several conventional computers.
Copy !req
796. We can't find them.
Copy !req
797. We're always moving things
around, getting organised...
Copy !req
798. My assistants and I.
But this is zero's fault.
Copy !req
799. Zero, he's the
world's file cabinet.
Copy !req
800. Pity. Poor old 13th century.
Copy !req
801. Well, come along now.
You want to get started, don't you?
Copy !req
802. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
803. This way.
Copy !req
804. Now...
Copy !req
805. We've lost those computers with
all of the 13th century in them.
Copy !req
806. Not much in the century,
just Dante and a few corrupt popes.
Copy !req
807. But it's so distracting
and annoying.
Copy !req
808. You've unlimited restrictions here,
of course,
Copy !req
809. but you'll have to come so,
so many times.
Copy !req
810. It all takes such effort.
Copy !req
811. Do the executives
still come here?
Copy !req
812. They used to, some of them.
Copy !req
813. - What about the books?
- Books, books? They're all changed.
Copy !req
814. All transcribed.
All information is here.
Copy !req
815. We've zero, of course. He's the
central brain, the world's brain.
Copy !req
816. Fluid mechanics, fluidics.
Copy !req
817. He's liquid, you see.
Copy !req
818. His waters touch all knowledge.
Copy !req
819. Everything we ask has
become so complicated now.
Copy !req
820. Each thing we ask... this morning we
wanted to know about the 13th century.
Copy !req
821. He flows out into all
our storage systems.
Copy !req
822. He considers everything.
Copy !req
823. He's become so ambiguous now,
Copy !req
824. as if he knows nothing at all.
Copy !req
825. Erm... could you tell
me about the corporate wars?
Copy !req
826. Wars, wars? Yes, of course,
we have them all here.
Copy !req
827. Punic war, prussian war,
peloponnesian war.
Copy !req
828. Crimean war, wars of the roses.
Copy !req
829. One doesn't recall them in
sequence, but corporate wars...
Copy !req
830. Well, zero will or can,
I'm sure, tell you anything.
Copy !req
831. A memory pool, you see.
Copy !req
832. He's supposed to tell us where things
are and what they might possibly mean.
Copy !req
833. Look, zero. A visitor.
Copy !req
834. Jonathan e,
the rollerball champion.
Copy !req
835. You've filed away a
lot of data on him.
Copy !req
836. Do you remember?
Copy !req
837. - Does it answer you?
- Yes, it speaks.
Copy !req
838. It finds things
Copy !req
839. and loses them,
Copy !req
840. and confuses itself.
Copy !req
841. Ask anything, he'll find it
for you, section and lot.
Copy !req
842. Won't you, zero?
Copy !req
843. All right. I'd like, erm...
Copy !req
844. I'd like some information
about corporate decisions,
Copy !req
845. how they're made
and who makes them.
Copy !req
846. Zero, you heard the question.
Copy !req
847. Answer him.
Copy !req
848. Negative.
Copy !req
849. You don't have to give him
a full political briefing.
Copy !req
850. - Answer.
- Negative.
Copy !req
851. This is Jonathan e.
He has to know.
Copy !req
852. Make it simple.
Copy !req
853. Answer.
Copy !req
854. Corporate decisions are made
by corporate executives.
Copy !req
855. - Corporate executives make...
- I know we have the answers.
Copy !req
856. Knowledge converts to power.
Energy equals genius.
Copy !req
857. - Power is knowledge.
- I don't want to bully you.
Copy !req
858. Genius is energy.
Copy !req
859. - Corporate entities control elements...
- But you have to answer!
Copy !req
860. Of economic life,
technology, capital,
Copy !req
861. labour and markets.
Copy !req
862. Corporate decisions are made by...
Copy !req
863. - You have to, zero!
- The 13th century...
Copy !req
864. - Negative, negative, negative...
- It's so embarrassing!
Copy !req
865. Negative. Negative. Negative...
Copy !req
866. Hello, Johnny.
Copy !req
867. How are you, Ella?
Copy !req
868. Nervous.
Copy !req
869. How are you?
Copy !req
870. I'm all right, I guess.
Copy !req
871. What are you doing?
Copy !req
872. Looking at you.
Copy !req
873. Counting your scars.
Copy !req
874. Seeing how you've changed.
Copy !req
875. You mean that's how I've changed?
Just a little more beat-up.
Copy !req
876. No...
Copy !req
877. You're just not...
Copy !req
878. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
879. Come on.
Copy !req
880. You want a drink or something?
Copy !req
881. No, thank you.
Copy !req
882. You have a lovely place.
Copy !req
883. Thank you. Well,
I've seen your house.
Copy !req
884. You have?
Copy !req
885. Yeah, when we played in Rome,
Copy !req
886. I stood a block away
Copy !req
887. and, er... watched your front
gate for a couple of hours.
Copy !req
888. I was just, er...
Copy !req
889. Standing there wondering...
Copy !req
890. Wwhat your furniture was like, what
you said to each other in the mornings.
Copy !req
891. What's he like?
What's he do, this...?
Copy !req
892. He's a city engineer.
Copy !req
893. We have a jet-copter, a son,
Copy !req
894. two cats and a
place in the alps.
Copy !req
895. You don't really want
to hear all of this.
Copy !req
896. - A son?
- Yes.
Copy !req
897. We have a lot of friends.
Copy !req
898. And he has a lover. We have
furniture a lot like yours.
Copy !req
899. Same taste in furniture.
How about that?
Copy !req
900. You know, Johnny,
Copy !req
901. all they want is a kind of incidental
control over just a part of our lives.
Copy !req
902. They have control economically and
politically, but they also provide.
Copy !req
903. - You know they do.
- Provide?
Copy !req
904. They were responsible
for taking you away,
Copy !req
905. and I started to hate them.
Copy !req
906. But they weren't.
It was the game, Johnny.
Copy !req
907. I mean,
it was so important to you.
Copy !req
908. It was as if I
wasn't even there.
Copy !req
909. The play, there was nothing else.
Copy !req
910. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
911. You know I wanted you here.
Well, I mean...
Copy !req
912. This might sound
all wrong, but...
Copy !req
913. Well, I was just trying to...
Remember myself then.
Copy !req
914. Yeah.
Copy !req
915. Maybe it was...
Love I wanted to try to remember.
Copy !req
916. There's a lot of things
I wanna talk to you about.
Copy !req
917. Yeah.
Copy !req
918. I've been thinking, Ella.
Copy !req
919. Thinking a lot.
Copy !req
920. I've been watching.
Copy !req
921. It's like people had a choice
a long time ago between...
Copy !req
922. Well, having all them
nice things or freedom.
Copy !req
923. Of course, they chose comfort.
Copy !req
924. But comfort is freedom.
It always has been.
Copy !req
925. The history of civilisation is the
struggle against poverty and need.
Copy !req
926. No! No, that's not it.
That's never been it.
Copy !req
927. I mean, them privileges
just buy us off.
Copy !req
928. Look...
Copy !req
929. They want me to quit, Ella.
Copy !req
930. Then quit.
Copy !req
931. Just like that?
Copy !req
932. But you've got to do it now.
Copy !req
933. You've got to, before it's too late,
whether you want to or not.
Copy !req
934. Look, Johnny...
Copy !req
935. The next game, there won't be any
substitutions allowed. And no time limit.
Copy !req
936. You'll die, Johnny.
Everybody will die.
Copy !req
937. No time limit.
They tell you that?
Copy !req
938. Yes.
Copy !req
939. - They tell you to convince me to quit?
- Yes, but that isn't why I came here.
Copy !req
940. You have to get out
for your own sake.
Copy !req
941. Please, Johnny, please.
Copy !req
942. Did they tell you to
stay if I did quit?
Copy !req
943. Are you my big reward?
Copy !req
944. You still don't understand
why I came here.
Copy !req
945. You're the only
person I ever wanted.
Copy !req
946. I wanted you on my side, that's all.
Copy !req
947. It's like you're a god now.
Copy !req
948. Maybe you know what I don't.
Copy !req
949. I've been so stupid for so long.
Copy !req
950. I've been so stubborn.
Copy !req
951. I don't even know why.
It scares me.
Copy !req
952. I know I'm probably gonna...
I'm probably gonna die.
Copy !req
953. And you'll be in there pumping
away long after I'm gone.
Copy !req
954. Hey, you... you got
it made, old buddy.
Copy !req
955. Bluebonnets and everything.
Copy !req
956. Houston! Houston! Houston!
Copy !req
957. Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
958. Jonathan's dead!
Jonathan's dead!
Copy !req
959. Jonathan's dead!
Jonathan's dead!
Copy !req
960. Jonathan's dead!
Jonathan's dead!
Copy !req
961. Houston! Houston! Houston!
Copy !req
962. Attention.
Your attention, please.
Copy !req
963. Rule changes for tonight's
world championship game.
Copy !req
964. No substitutions, no penalties,
Copy !req
965. and no time limit!
Copy !req
966. Watch now, he's got the ball.
Next time around, we defend.
Copy !req
967. Come on! Come on,
get outta there!
Copy !req
968. Get him up.
Copy !req
969. He did it!
Copy !req
970. Get him in the elevator.
Copy !req
971. Get off the rail!
Copy !req
972. Get him off the track!
Copy !req
973. I don't want another man on that track!
Houston, what the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
974. - Ain't nobody gonna win this game!
- Game?
Copy !req
975. This wasn't meant to be a game!
Never!
Copy !req
976. Watch his leg. Easy, easy!
Copy !req
977. Let me have him.
Let me have him!
Copy !req
978. Move out. Move out!
Copy !req
979. Jonathan...
Copy !req
980. Jonathan...
Copy !req
981. Jonathan. Jonathan. Jonathan...
Copy !req
982. Jonathan!
Copy !req
983. Jonathan! Jonathan!
Copy !req
984. Jonathan!
Copy !req
985. Jonathan!
Copy !req
