18. Be quiet! And do not speak if

21. How many times, Nematzadeh?Copy !req
22. How many times must I
repeat it to you?Copy !req
23. How many times did I tell you,
Nematzadeh?Copy !req
24. I see your fingers very well but
I want you to say it once again.Copy !req
25. - Three times.
- Louder.Copy !req
26. Three times!Copy !req
27. Three times
and you are still doing it.Copy !req
28. Well, now I am going to tear this
to show you a lesson.Copy !req
29. Look up, Nematzadeh.Copy !req
30. Nematzadeh, I told you to look.Copy !req
31. Nematzadeh!Copy !req
32. How many times did I tell you
to write in a notebook?Copy !req
33. How many times?Copy !req
34. Answer! Come on!Copy !req
35. How many times did I tell you?Copy !req
36. How many times?Copy !req
37. Three times.Copy !req
38. Three times, and after all that
you still don't do it.Copy !req
39. Why didn't you do it?Copy !req
40. - Can I come in, sir?
- What time is this to arrive?Copy !req
41. I came a long way.
From Poshteh.Copy !req
42. You came from Poshteh today?Copy !req
43. - Yes, sir.
- o, sit down.Copy !req
44. Everyone who comes from
Poshteh,Copy !req
45. you have to consider that you must...
Shut it and sit down.Copy !req
46. You must not forget to leave
10 minutes earlierCopy !req
47. and sleep half an hour earlier,
so you get enough sleep.Copy !req
48. So that you don't arrive late.
Do you understand?Copy !req
49. - Did you understand?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
50. So, Nematzadeh, you admit that
I told you three timesCopy !req
51. and even so you have
not listened to me.Copy !req
52. Are you listening to me? Answer.
Why? Tell me.Copy !req
53. Come on, look up!
Why Nematzadeh?Copy !req
54. It's because I was at my cousin's
house and I forgot my notebook there.Copy !req
55. SirCopy !req
56. What?Copy !req
57. Yesterday I was at my cousin's
house and I left my notebook there, sir.Copy !req
58. - Sir, I have his notebook.
- You have his notebook?Copy !req
59. - Yes sir.
- Did you lie to me?Copy !req
60. - He is my cousin.
- He is your cousin?Copy !req
61. - You are his cousin?
- Yes sir.Copy !req
62. - And he was with you yesterday?
- Yes sir.Copy !req
63. OK, let's see.Copy !req
64. I told you many times.Copy !req
65. When you come home from schoolCopy !req
66. first, do your homework
then put your booksCopy !req
67. in the backpack, and after
you can do whatever you likeCopy !req
68. you can play or go visit
someone.Copy !req
69. Quiet!Copy !req
70. If you go anywhere,
do not bring your books.Copy !req
71. This way you won't forget them
somewhere, like Nematzadeh did.Copy !req
72. And remember, if I tell you
to write in a notebookCopy !req
73. it's because it
shows discipline.Copy !req
74. - Why have you gone under there?
- My back hurts, sir.Copy !req
75. - What?
- My back hurts, sir.Copy !req
76. Well, it won't heal by
going under the desk.Copy !req
77. There are very important reasons
for writing in a notebook.Copy !req
78. First, it will make you
disciplined.Copy !req
79. And secondly, we can compare
today's workCopy !req
80. with the work of last month.Copy !req
81. This is Ahmadpoor's homework.
This is today's work.Copy !req
82. Can you see it?
This is his work.Copy !req
83. And this, this is last month's.Copy !req
84. Do you understand now why I
insist that you have a notebookCopy !req
85. for your homework?Copy !req
86. - You too, Nematzadeh?
- Yes sir.Copy !req
87. So this is the last time.Copy !req
88. Next time, you will be
expelled from the school.Copy !req
89. Yes, sir.Copy !req
90. - Did you hurt yourself?
- No.Copy !req
91. Don't cry, don't cry, baby.Copy !req
92. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
93. - HelloCopy !req
94. - Cover him well.
- Right now, right now.Copy !req
95. Ahmad, bring me some diapers.Copy !req
96. Hurry up.Copy !req
97. Ahmad, these are wet.
Hang them there, in the room.Copy !req
98. Quick. Do you hear me?Copy !req
99. Hurry up!Copy !req
100. - Ahmad, come, let's go play.
- I have to do homework.Copy !req
101. - Do it later.
- Ahmad. Where are you, Ahmad?Copy !req
102. I'm coming.Copy !req
103. The baby is freezing.Copy !req
104. Take the bottle and bring it upCopy !req
105. so that your grandmother
gives you some boiling waterCopy !req
106. to prepare the bottle for the baby.Copy !req
107. - Where the bottle?
- Beside the vase.Copy !req
108. - I want boiling water.
- Inside the house.Copy !req
109. - HelloCopy !req
110. - Are you coming to play?
- I have to do my homework.Copy !req
111. - You don't?
- I only have three lines left.Copy !req
112. I wrote this, this and this
and I only have three lines left.Copy !req
113. I have to do it all.Copy !req
114. Why did you go up wearing shoes?Copy !req
115. Don't you see how I take them off?Copy !req
116. You have to take your shoes off
before going up.Copy !req
117. Add two sugar cubes,
but hurry up.Copy !req
118. Go do your homework.Copy !req
119. Ahmad, can't you hear the child?
Go give him the bottle.Copy !req
120. Rock him a tittie.Copy !req
121. Mother, I took by accident
Mohammad Reza's notebookCopy !req
122. and I have to go return
it to him.Copy !req
123. - How are you?
- A little better.Copy !req
124. - Take care.
- Mother...Copy !req
125. Mother...Copy !req
126. - Mother...
- What is it?Copy !req
127. I took by accident
the book with the homework...Copy !req
128. of Mohammad Reza.Copy !req
129. What?Copy !req
130. I didn't realize I took
Mohammad Reza'sCopy !req
131. homework book.Copy !req
132. Do your homework and
then go to play.Copy !req
133. I don't want to go play.
I want to return his notebook.Copy !req
134. First do your homework and
then you can go play.Copy !req
135. Do you see how I am taking
my shoes off before going up?Copy !req
136. - Where are you going?
- To play.Copy !req
137. He has to do his homework.Copy !req
138. OK, but be good, OK?Copy !req
139. He has to do his homework.Copy !req
140. Ali has already done his homework.
He returned from schoolCopy !req
141. he has done his homework
and now he goes to playCopy !req
142. and all you do is make trouble.
And you never want to do your homework.Copy !req
143. I wasn't talking about him,
I was talking about Mohammad Reza.Copy !req
144. I am sure he already
did his homework.Copy !req
145. All the children did it except you.
Go, Ali.Copy !req
146. - Finish your homework.
- It's his notebook.Copy !req
147. Mother, I took his book
and I have to return it.Copy !req
148. Otherwise he will be
punished.Copy !req
149. Do your homework.Copy !req
150. Go rock the baby.Copy !req
151. Ali, I told you not to waste time.
Go.Copy !req
152. And you, do your homework!Copy !req
153. But I don't want to go play
I have to...Copy !req
154. So do your homework.Copy !req
155. I took his book home with me and
I have to ret...Copy !req
156. - Come on, do your homework!
- ... return it.Copy !req
157. Did you hear me?Copy !req
158. Go, get me the bucket with
the laundry.Copy !req
159. Mother, look at this.
This is what I was telling you.Copy !req
160. The two are identical, but
this is his and this is mine.Copy !req
161. - Can't you see?
- Yes I do. So?Copy !req
162. - I have to give him his.
- So, give it him tomorrow.Copy !req
163. But tomorrow the teacher
will expel him from classCopy !req
164. this is why I have to return
it now, before...Copy !req
165. If he gets expelled, I am
sure he deserves it.Copy !req
166. - But I took it by accident...
- And you didn't realize?Copy !req
167. No, because the two are identical.Copy !req
168. Doesn't matter you'll return
it tomorrow.Copy !req
169. No, mom, I have to return it
today.Copy !req
170. - And where does he live?
- In Poshteh.Copy !req
171. So far? In Poshteh?
You cannot go there!Copy !req
172. But many children come every
day to school from there.Copy !req
173. Don't lie to me.
It's absolutely impossible.Copy !req
174. I swear. If you don't believe me
go ask.Copy !req
175. Don't swear, and do your homework.
This is what you must do.Copy !req
176. Let me return it!Copy !req
177. I've already told you, to do
your homework.Copy !req
178. Also, you have to go
buy bread.Copy !req
179. But I have to take it to him
otherwise he will be punished.Copy !req
180. Do your homework and be quiet!Copy !req
181. - Mom, please let me go!
- Obey!Copy !req
182. - The teacher will be...
- I told you, you must do your homework!Copy !req
183. Don't move from there
and do the work.Copy !req
184. Otherwise I will smack
you so hard...!Copy !req
185. Did you hear me?Copy !req
186. - Did you hear me?
- Yes.Copy !req
187. Come on, get up and go get bread.Copy !req
188. When your father come's home
he will know what to do with you.Copy !req
189. Is that our Ahmad?
What is he going to do in Poshteh?Copy !req
190. - HelloCopy !req
191. - Do you know where Nematzadeh lives?
- No, I don't know.Copy !req
192. - He is my classmate.
- No, I don't know.Copy !req
193. - Is this Poshteh here?
- Poshteh is behind that house.Copy !req
194. Boy, can you throw me that up here?Copy !req
195. Come on boy, it's not
going to get here.Copy !req
196. Madame, he doesn't have
enough strength.Copy !req
197. Better you give it to me
and I will pass it on.Copy !req
198. Boy, give it to me from

203. - Do you know where Mohammad Reza lives?
- Thank you son.Copy !req
204. Please, would you know where
Nematzadeh lives?Copy !req
205. I don't know Did they tell you
where he lives more or less?Copy !req
206. - In Poshteh.
- Fut, in which district?Copy !req
207. Poshteh.Copy !req
208. Here we have the district of
Mazevar,Copy !req
209. the district of Khanevar,
the district of Kashevar,Copy !req
210. the district of Assemar,
the district of Khanevar, Mazevar...Copy !req
211. They didn't tell you where
it is?Copy !req
212. In Poshteh.Copy !req
213. Everything here is called Poshteh.
But which district, son?Copy !req
214. - Hey, Morteza. Do you live here?
- Yes.Copy !req
215. Do you know where the house
of Nematzadeh is?Copy !req
216. I think that it's down there.Copy !req
217. You don't know?
It's because I have his notebookCopy !req
218. and I have to give it back.
What can I do?Copy !req
219. I know where his cousin lives.Copy !req
220. - Hemmati?
- Yes.Copy !req
221. Let's go, take me there.
We'll go return it and we'll come back.Copy !req
222. I have to carry the milk.Copy !req
223. OK, at least tell me
how to get there.Copy !req
224. His house is in Khanevar,
on the steep streetCopy !req
225. there is a staircase in front
which ends on a blue door.Copy !req
226. And there is a bridge near the house.Copy !req
227. - What's the name of the district?
- Khanevar.Copy !req
228. Morteza, bring the milk.Copy !req
229. Sir, How do you get to Khanevar?Copy !req
230. Through there.Copy !req
231. Where is the Nematzadeh's home?Copy !req
232. I don't know.Copy !req
233. Do you know Hemmati?Copy !req
234. Keep going straight.
It's that path there to Khanevar.Copy !req
235. Are you there, Nematzadeh?
Mohammad Reza!Copy !req
236. Nematzadeh, are you there?
Are you there, Nematzadeh?Copy !req
237. I brought your notebook
Mohammad Reza.Copy !req
238. Mohammad Reza! Mohammad Reza!Copy !req
239. Please answer!
Where are you?Copy !req
240. I brought your notebook.Copy !req
241. Nematzadeh! Reza...Copy !req
242. Nematzadeh, I brought your notebook.Copy !req
243. Hey, whose are trousers these?Copy !req
244. - What? What?
- Those trousers.Copy !req
245. I don't know whose trousers they are.Copy !req
246. I am talking about the
trousers that are hanging.Copy !req
247. What do you want me to say?
I don't know, son.Copy !req
248. They belong to Nematzadeh.
And I have to return his notebook.Copy !req
249. No one is home.
It's shut.Copy !req
250. I don't know anything, boy.
I don't know anything.Copy !req
251. - HelloCopy !req
252. Whose are those brown trousers
that are hanging there?Copy !req
253. I don't know.Copy !req
254. No one is home.
On that street there...Copy !req
255. I don't know those people.
I don't know anything.Copy !req
256. What about those trousers
hanging back there?Copy !req
257. I don't know. I don't know.Copy !req
258. - Those brown trousers
- I told you, I don't know.Copy !req
259. - I'm sick. Go away.
- Let me show them to you.Copy !req
260. Can't you see that I cannot move?Copy !req
261. At least come so that
I can show it to you.Copy !req
262. I can't go. I am sick.
Very sick.Copy !req
263. - Come on, please, come.
- I can't go, son.Copy !req
264. - I am sick. I can't.
- Come on, be kind. Come, come.Copy !req
265. I can't, I am sick.Copy !req
266. - My son, I can barely move.
- It's near. Just there.Copy !req
267. - Is Mohammad Reza there?
- Who is he?Copy !req
268. - Nematzadeh.
- No.Copy !req
269. - This is not his home?
- No, he doesn't live here.Copy !req
270. - But those trousers are his.
- No, there are my grandson's.Copy !req
271. - Is this Khanevar?
- Yes, it's Khanevar.Copy !req
272. And he came yesterday evening to ask
my husband to help him find a job.Copy !req
273. - What is his profession?
- WaiterCopy !req
274. He was working three years
but then his bossCopy !req
275. sold the shop and told
him that he had to go awayCopy !req
276. But since he is my husband's cousin
he told him that he had to help him.Copy !req
277. He barely has money to eat.Copy !req
278. - Who are you looking for, kid?
- Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh.Copy !req
279. He's not here.Copy !req
280. They told me he lives around here
where the blue door is.Copy !req
281. - This is Hemmati's home.
- Wonderful. I would like to see him.Copy !req
282. - He went to Koker.
- He left?Copy !req
283. Yes.Copy !req
284. - Who are you looking for?
- Hemmati.Copy !req
285. - But, which Hemmati?
- Ali Hemmati.Copy !req
286. He's gone. He left 5 minutes ago.
He went to Koker.Copy !req
287. I just came from Koker.Copy !req
288. Well, then you'd have seen him.
He went with his father to Koker.Copy !req
289. All Hemmati! Ali Hemmati!
All Hemmati!Copy !req
290. Ahmad! Where are you going?
Come here, kid!Copy !req
291. - Hello.
- Where have you been?Copy !req
292. To buy bread.Copy !req
293. I asked you a question
and I expect you to answer.Copy !req
294. Where have you been?Copy !req
295. What did you go to Poshteh for?Copy !req
296. To return the notebook
to Mohammad Reza.Copy !req
297. He is my classmate.Copy !req
298. - Did you give it to him?
- No, I didn't see him.Copy !req
299. - Go get my cigarettes.
- I have to go to the bakery.Copy !req
300. First, get my cigarettes.Copy !req
301. But if I go there late
they will have no bread.Copy !req
302. I do not want to repeat it again.Copy !req
303. - Here, I have cigarettes.
- No, I also have some.Copy !req
304. My point was not about the cigarettes.Copy !req
305. I want the kid to be educated
so that in his futureCopy !req
306. he can be a good man.Copy !req
307. When I was little
my dad would give me...Copy !req
308. he'd give me a cent a weekCopy !req
309. and he would beat me
every fortnight.Copy !req
310. And sometimes he would forget
to give me the money on purposeCopy !req
311. but he would never forget
to give me the smackCopy !req
312. so that he would make
of me a strong man.Copy !req
313. And you saw how my grandson
came hereCopy !req
314. and I had to repeat my words
to him three timesCopy !req
315. and he did not pay attention.Copy !req
316. And we want the kid to be
educated properlyCopy !req
317. because if he is lazy
he will not be useful in society.Copy !req
318. Let's suppose that he listened to you.
Would you still hit him?Copy !req
319. - Because that wouldn't be...
- Of course I'd hit him.Copy !req
320. I've told you alreadyCopy !req
321. even if he forgot the allowance,
what he would never forget...Copy !req
322. would be giving the eventual beating.Copy !req
323. Of that, you can be sure.
This is what teaches discipline.Copy !req
324. In society the children must
maintain a sense of discipline.Copy !req
325. They must obey their parents.
They must respect all traditions.Copy !req
326. Yes, but what if the child
does nothing wrong?Copy !req
327. What would you do then?
What?Copy !req
328. Find a good excuseCopy !req
329. to beat him every fortnight
so that he won't forget.Copy !req
330. I used to work with an
Iranian engineer.Copy !req
331. We'd build roads.Copy !req
332. After a while two
foreign engineers arrived.Copy !req
333. They looked at the road and they
said that it was 15 centimeters too low.Copy !req
334. The Iranian engineer said that
the problem could be fixedCopy !req
335. with sand and gravel.
And that this was the solution.Copy !req
336. He said we had to fix those 15
centimeters.Copy !req
337. He said that it would
make it look goodCopy !req
338. because otherwise the measurements wouldn't
be the ones demanded in the contractCopy !req
339. but when he was leaving
I approached the engineer and asked:Copy !req
340. "Tell me, why is my salary
6,000 tomansCopy !req
341. and they receive 12,000?"Copy !req
342. He answered: "If I told them onceCopy !req
343. and they did it, but he ordered
me to do it twiceCopy !req
344. and that is why I receive
6,000 tomans.Copy !req
345. That is the reason.Copy !req
346. Yes, that's the reason why
they gave me the order.Copy !req
347. Two times.Copy !req
348. And consequently I received
6,000 tomans and they receive 12,000.Copy !req
349. Do you understand?"Copy !req
350. For such things, my friend
we must be educatedCopy !req
351. in a way so that they can
tell us something only once.Copy !req
352. In the good old days, when
our parents would educate usCopy !req
353. they expected total obedience.Copy !req
354. That is for sure.Copy !req
355. - Go, look for the doors.
- Are these yours? These?Copy !req
356. Leave it, I'll go.Copy !req
357. - Here's your tea.
- Very good.Copy !req
358. The doors were here
this morning.Copy !req
359. We fixed the contract for
3,000 tomansCopy !req
360. and I have to get 500 from the engineerCopy !req
361. but it did not come out well, so...Copy !req
362. I didn't cancel it.
I kept it.Copy !req
363. But I have to pay the
blacksmith, the carpenter,Copy !req
364. the bricklayer, the workers...Copy !req
365. Then, I have to pay Mr. Jamali,
and then I would have nothing left.Copy !req
366. In that case, I myself will
take care of Mr. Jamali.Copy !req
367. What can we do?Copy !req
368. I don't know, I only asked
Mr. Agha Khan...Copy !req
369. that he makes doors of high quality
so that the childrenCopy !req
370. will never get cold.Copy !req
371. Certainly, you have nothing
to worry about.Copy !req
372. I will do them right now.Copy !req
373. Do you also need any doors?Copy !req
374. - No, thanks.
- Why not?Copy !req
375. - I have some already.
- Your doors are falling apart.Copy !req
376. - Your doors are old and broken.
- They're good enough for me.Copy !req
377. - They're all rotten.
- I like their look.Copy !req
378. But they're drafty, old man.
They let the cold in.Copy !req
379. I'll make you iron ones
which are air tight.Copy !req
380. Maybe. I'm still not interested.Copy !req
381. You're making a big mistake.

I have done his doors.Copy !req
507. I also made the cradle of your father.Copy !req
508. I have done the door of
your friend's house.Copy !req
509. And I also have done his windows
40 years ago.Copy !req
510. And they didn't change one bit.Copy !req
511. But now they are changing them
all, one by oneCopy !req
512. for iron doors.Copy !req
513. But nobody asks what's
wrong with those doorsCopy !req
514. and if that would be the case, I assure,
if they had been badCopy !req
515. nobody would have bought them.Copy !req
516. - How are you, Mashdi?
- Well, thanks.Copy !req
517. I am very happy.Copy !req
518. He is also changing his to
an iron doorCopy !req

last a lifetimeCopy !req
520. but I don't know how long a
a life is. How old are you?Copy !req
521. - Eight.

522. My nephew also was exactly
eight yearsCopy !req
523. when his father took him
to the city.Copy !req

525. Do you see those doors and windows?
My brother and I made them.Copy !req

527. Do you see how nice they are?
That was a long time ago.Copy !req
528. 45 years ago.Copy !req
529. But later he had a wife
and childrenCopy !req
530. and he left to the city.Copy !req
531. I don't know what's in the city
I assure you I don'tCopy !req

533. Have you ever been to the city?Copy !req
534. - Twice.

One's own place is another thing.Copy !req
536. - What did you say your name was?
- Ahmad.Copy !req
537. You see, young Ahmad, it saddens
me so much...Copy !req
538. when I see them leaving
these windows and these doorsCopy !req
539. which I built with so much effort
to go to the city.Copy !req
540. I am talking about these windows.Copy !req
541. And I'd really like to know
where they take them.Copy !req
542. The last few times I was
in the cityCopy !req
543. I really wanted to find out what they
have there.Copy !req
544. But sadly
I didn't manage to.Copy !req
545. And I've been doing it much less now.Copy !req
546. It's like I've lost
my nephews.Copy !req
547. On the other hand, I am not
interested in doing any moreCopy !req
548. because I don't have the sight or
the strength that I used to.Copy !req
549. My son, it's terrible to be old.Copy !req
550. Ahmad, please, wait a second.Copy !req
551. I want to wash my face
and after we'll continue.Copy !req
552. - Come wash your face.
- lam in a hurry.Copy !req
553. We've almost arrived. Your
friend's home is right here.Copy !req

558. Sir, can you hurry up a little bit please?
It's getting really late.Copy !req
559. Alright! Right now. I'm here.
Let's go. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
560. That's your friend's home.

561. You can go through there.
It's the first door to the left.Copy !req
562. - Do you want to give him the book?
- Yes.Copy !req

572. But it's very late
I have to go to the bakery.Copy !req
573. It's not the hour to buy bread.Copy !req
574. - So you come from Koker...
- Yes.Copy !req
575. Do you have an older brother?Copy !req
576. Why is he not in charge
of getting the bread?Copy !req
577. They've called him out.Copy !req
578. And now, it's better if I go quickly
otherwise my father will scold me.Copy !req
579. I don't want him to get angry with me.Copy !req
580. What if I am faster and
I take you home?Copy !req
581. - I'd like it, but I can't.
- Why not?Copy !req
582. - You want to do it?
- Sure.Copy !req
583. So let's go.Copy !req
584. - What are you doing standing there?
- You are very slow.Copy !req
585. When I was your age I used to
jump around from place to place.Copy !req
586. Is this better?
Are you alright with this?Copy !req
587. - A little faster.
- Faster?Copy !req
588. - Yes.

596. I am out of breath. If I don't
talk, I can go faster!Copy !req
597. - Alright. Then don't speak.
- Alright. I won't speak anymore.Copy !req
598. Sir, you are tired
and I am going to return late.Copy !req
599. - You go ahead. I can't keep up.
- Yes.Copy !req
600. - What's the matter, Ahmad?
- The dog is barking.Copy !req
601. - Are you afraid?
- It's going to bite me.Copy !req
602. This is why I am telling you
we have to walk together.Copy !req
603. But you are very slow
and I am in a hurry.Copy !req
604. Alright, alright, I know I am
too oldCopy !req
605. to keep up with your pace.Copy !req
606. - We've arrived.

607. This is my house, and Koker

619. It's late and you are tired.
You really don't want to eat?Copy !req
620. Alright, if you are not hungry

621. If you want to do homework
go to the other room.Copy !req
622. We want to sleep.Copy !req
623. Have your dinner, my son.Copy !req
624. And when you finish,
turn the lights off and go to bed.Copy !req
625. - Stand up.

626. - How are you?
- Well, sir.Copy !req
627. - Can I come in, sir?

Did you understand?Copy !req
632. - Yes, sir.
- Let's see the homework.Copy !req
633. Ghasem Hojat, let's see...Copy !req
634. Why did you write pedestrians

with one s. Is that clear?Copy !req
636. That's good.Copy !req
637. What's this, kid?
Why is it so dirty?Copy !req
638. My hands were sweating,
that's why I got it dirty.Copy !req
639. But you haven't filled

they had cut off the water, so...Copy !req
641. - What did you have to do there?
- Work.Copy !req
642. - With whom?

obligation is education.Copy !req
644. First you must dedicate yourselves
to your studies.Copy !req
645. And later you can help your father
at the farm and your mother at home.Copy !req
646. As you can see, this pupil
did not do his homework...Copy !req
647. because he had to work
at the farm.Copy !req
648. And I am going to let it go because
it's the first time.Copy !req
649. And I will also let the second one pass
but the third timeCopy !req
650. there will be no excuse
that is acceptable.Copy !req
651. Next time, first do your
homework.Copy !req
