Synopsis: When art student Ben Willis is dumped by his girlfriend Suzy, he develops chronic insomnia after finding out how quickly she moved on. To pass the long hours of the night, he starts working the late night shift at the local supermarket. There he meets a colorful cast of characters, all of whom have their own 'art' in dealing with the boredom of an eight-hour-shift. Ben's art is that he imagines himself stopping time. This way, he can appreciate the artistic beauty of the frozen world and the people inside it - especially Sharon, the pretty and quiet checkout girl, who perhaps holds the answer to solving the problem of Ben's insomnia.

worked out the connection

between the smiling faces

of the girls in the magazines

and the fact that

they were naked.

fifty p.

that's it.

natalie became one of the most popular girls on the street.

croissants on special offer.

she had

massive tits.

very funny.

we were only

having a laugh.

who's that?

that's a new kid.

apparently he's

a martial arts expert.

hey, mate!

come here.

what's your name?

brian.

ben says you know

kung fu.

yeah.

- so you reckon you can have me?

- yeah.

- oh, yeah?

- yeah.

show us your moves then.

grab my arm.

that's not funny.

hi.

hi, ben.

you're not

working tonight?

no, i swapped

two hours this week.

is that a pickle sandwich?

oh, ah, yeah.

could i have a bite?

i'm starving.

mmm. thanks.

- what?

- you got some there.

- mmm.

- there.

let me.

thanks.

i wanted to freeze time.

i wanted to savor

that moment.

to live in that moment

for a week.

but i couldn't stop it.

only slow it.

and before i knew it,

she was gone.

after the door closed, i felt like the last person on earth.

what are you doing?

- jenkins wanted us to go and fill the shelves. - so here we are.

iiiieeee.

take no notice of him. he's love struck. he asked sharon out today.

you did?

what did she say?

she said "yes. "

he's taking her

to the pictures

tomorrow night.

then it's back to mine. i'll need about half an hour to talk away me face.

and then, she's gonna

get some of this.

crush.

it's funny how the same word

for the feeling of attraction

can be used for the feeling

of disappointment.

the oxford english dictionary states one of the meanings for the word crushed

as "a strong and unreasoning,

but transitory attachment. "

i had three crushes

when i was young.

the first was an athlete

called zola budd.

she was 18, and looked like a tomboy with a small, slender frame.

but it was the fact that zola budd defiantly ran barefoot

that made her so completely

attractive for me.

it was the los angeles olympics

that would go down in history.

in the 3,000 meter race, zola budd clashed with the american, mary decker.

budd's heart for the race

was left where decker fell.

zola finished seventh.

ben, it's time for bed now.

you've got school tomorrow.

well, well.

what an upset.

can somebody tell me something about the white blood cells? tim?

uh, they help fight off bacteria

and germs in the body.

very well done.

types...

of cells.

the second crush was for

my biology teacher, mrs. booth.

okay, class, who can tell me

something about cells?

she was a confident woman

whose figure-hugging outfits

hinted at the sexiness

that lay hidden beneath.

i imagined mrs. booth asking me
