looks can be deceiving.

- well, that's obvious.

- what?

heads.

no, tails.

tails it is.

get in your spaces.

- ahh!

- look at that!

triangles!

- foul!

- no foul! play on!

play on, my ass!

i'm all right!

i'm all right!

i'm all right!

what are you doing?

grow up.

forget about the money.

what money?

what are you doing?

what am i doing? i'm talking to an empty phone is what i'm doing.

'cause there's a dead man on the other end of this f***ing line!

- i love that film! - pachino. didn't you hear though?

you oughta see the bank job shootout scene on me plasma screen!

come on, whitechapel,

we can still win this.

- come on, lads!

- shoot!

- aye! dipstick!

sorry!

the ball, the ball,

the ball, the ball!

for the love of god!

yeah! finally!

oh, my lord!

get a life, dipstick!

time out, ref.

time out.

well, chaps,

could be worse.

how could it be worse?

it's 26-nil.

it doesn't matter.

what matters is, there's less than a minute to play.

and we are not leaving this pitch until we score a goal!

matt, get the ball to ben.

ben, this is your moment.

i need you.

get your little legs.

run up that right flank

like the devil were after you.

i'll be in the center

waiting for your cross.

use barry if you need to.

matt, stay on my left flank.

i need that cross.

i need that ball

here.

i'll take the shot.

and we, we will

share the glory.

- got it?

- yeah.

now let's score a goal!

come on! come on!

come on! come on!

come on, boys, come on!

no!

i often wonder

what it would be like

to spend the rest of my life

with the world on pause.

to live out the rest of my life between two fractions of a second.

to die of old age,

and then have time continue.

the young me gone,

and a dead old man in my place.

was i spending too much time

in this frozen world?

it felt safe, untouchable.

but how safe

is anyone's world?

hello?

anyone there?

it's funny, but the

last thing i imagined

was that maybe i wasn't the

only one who could stop time.

oh, my god!

you all right?

don't just stand there!

drive me to the hospital!

- can you make sure sharon gets home all right? - yeah.

cheers, mate.

right, i'll see

you both tomorrow.

- see ya.

- bye.

- thanks.

- thank you.

i felt that game was

never going to end.

- matt's face when the ball hit jenkins. - oh, i know.

do you think

he'll be okay?

it was ego more than

anything, i'd say.

it's probably none

of my business, but,

are you and matt

seeing each other?

no. we went to the cinema the other night, but just as friends.

hmm.

why? what

has matt said?

he said he slept with you.

- so you didn't? - no, of course not! what do you take me for?

sorry.

did he say

if i was any good?

i think it was the best sex

he's never had.

so you don't have a boyfriend?

no. we split

about six months ago.

he went off to university

in the states and

it became impossible

to see each other.

and you?

do you have a girlfriend?

we broke up

a few weeks ago.

i'm sorry.

how are you doing?

better.

so how long have you been

at the supermarket?

'bout two years.

- did you get to college? - i was doing p. t. therapy, but i dropped out.

why?

it wasn't me. and besides, i needed to start earning money.

what are you saving for?

putting myself

through evening classes.

yeah? studying...

spanish.

spanish?

yeah. what's wrong

with that?

n- n-nothing. i just wasn't expecting it. so what can you say?

mmm...

tu equipo de futbol

es una puta mierda.

which means?

it means your

football team is sh*t.

so why spanish?

i've lived here all my life.

i've worked at the supermarket

for two years and,

even though

it's happening slow,

i just feel that my life's ticking away a second at a time.

i thought that spanish would be one way that i'd be able to find a job that would involve travel.

like being an air hostess or teaching english at spanish-speaking schools.

i've always dreamt of traveling to far-off places... like south america.

to places where the sun

kisses every morning.

but more than that,

i wanna be able

to talk to people about their lives and about their dreams.

silly, really.

no, it's not.

that's your dream.

knowing what you want

is half the battle.

most people go through their whole lives not knowing what they want.

it's easy to find if you know

what you're looking for.

so what is it that

you're looking for?

i've always wanted

to be a painter.

maybe have my work hung

in a gallery one day.

i've always wanted

to meet a painter.

why?

don't know.

i think it might be something to do with their ability to see beauty in everything.

to then capture it, and hang it on a wall for all to see.

i find it romantic.

well, this is me.

number 34.

thirty-four.

it's on the top floor.

nice.

adios.

hasta luego.

night, ben.

that first kiss.

i've always made

such a mess of it.

come!

hiya. i just wanted to know

whether you were all right.

oh, yes, yes.

i'm fine.

'cause it looked

really painful last night.

oh, no.

i've worse than this.

and the hospital said

you'd be okay?

ah, you know.

they said i'd live.

are you sure

you're all right?

oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

do you know?

i've almost forgot it happened.

i really can't feel a thing!

i'm thinking of having

a party on saturday.

you know,

cheer everybody up.

sure you'll all be there.

won't you, sharon?

um, yeah.

great.

- hiya.

- whatcha?

thanks for walking me

home last night.

that's all right. thanks for sharing your dream with me.

so have you heard

the party rumor?

no.

jenkins' birthday on saturday.

he's throwing a party.

we've all got to

be there apparently.

oh.

will you be my date?

sharon?

it's my lunch break.

can you relieve me?

so, will you

be my date?

yeah.

great.

shelf stacker to

aisle ten, please.

can we have a shelf stacker

to aisle ten?

steven, if you're in the shop,

can you report to aisle ten?

- it's your lunch break.

- no, it's not.

- it is. it's your lunch break.

- i don't want one.

hama-vama!

come.

you wanted to see us?

take a chair.

not there! here!

now, we were a bit unlucky

last night, chaps.

but to lighten the mood

and to celebrate my birthday,

i'm throwing a party at my house on saturday night,

and you're all invited!

good!

now, no birthday party would be complete without a surprise stripper.

and i want one of you

to organize it. ben.

me?

yes. here's 200 quid.

that should be plenty for some

top-shelf entertainment.

i'll put the details on the staff board this afternoon.

well, get going then.

so, where are you

gonna find a stripper?

i don't know.

but i know a man who will.

so, your boss has given you 200 quid to get a surprise stripper for his own birthday.

i like him! yeah, i'll help on one condition.
