How can I do this in VI editor?

version info :
vi availabe with RHEL 5.4
I have a text file with 10,000 lines. I want to copy lines from 5000th line to 7000th and redirect to a file. Any idea how I can do this?

Note:
The above scenario is just an example. In my actual requirement, the file has 14 million lines and I want to copy 2000 lines after the 12th million line Smilie

BTW.I've just realised that the vi editor we use in RHEL is actually VIM
Code:
 
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
$
$ which vi
/bin/vi
