Scissors Replace values between 2 files

I want to replace the third and fourth lines of a 2nd file by the first two lines of a file.

Input:
Code:
file_1 
file_1.line_1 
file_1.line_2

file_2
Code:
file_2.line_1
<file_2.line_2_blank>
file_2.line_3 
file2.line_4
<file_2.line_5_blank>

Output:
Code:
file_2.line1
<file_2.line_2_blank>
file_1.line_1
file_1.line_2
<file_2.line_5_blank>

What I have done is really to long:
Code:
1. 'grep file2.line1' > temp
2.echo  file_1.line_1 >> temp
 3.echo file_1.line_2 >> temp
4.echo the rest of file2 >> temp 
5.mv temp file_2

I hope to be clear enough

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do rtl layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --encoding=ENCODING Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
