Ben Willis:
I've always wanted to be a painter, maybe have my work hung in a gallery one day.
Sharon Pintey:
I've always wanted to meet a painter.
Ben Willis:
Why?
Sharon Pintey:
I think it might have something to do with their ability to see beauty in everything.
Ben Willis:
Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. Love is there if you want it to be. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it.
Ben Willis:
You see, I've always wanted to be a painter, and like many artists before me, the female form has always been a great source of fascination. I've always been in awe of the power they posses.
Ben Willis:
I read once about a woman whose secret fantasy was to have an affair with an artist. She thought he would really see her. He would see every curve, every line, every indentation and love them because they were part of the beauty that made her unique.
Sean Higgins:
Two halves, please.
The Barman:
What was the other one?
Sean Higgins:
Two halves.
The Barman:
Oh, yeah.
Sean Higgins:
I just found the world's stupidest barman.
Ben Willis:
Are you and Matt seeing each other?
Sharon Pintey:
No. We went to the cinema the other night, but just as friends.
Ben Willis:
Hmm.
Sharon Pintey:
Why? What has Matt said?
Ben Willis:
He said he slept with you.So you didn't?
Sharon Pintey:
No, of course not! What do you take me for?
Ben Willis:
Sorry.
Sharon Pintey:
Did he say if I was any good?
Ben Willis:
I think it was the best sex he's never had.
Ben Willis:
I could feel a faint shift in a faraway place. A current of unknown consequences was on its way, moving towards me like an unstoppable wave of fate.
Ben Willis:
Being Swedish, the walk from the bathroom to her room didn't need to be a modest one.
Ben Willis:
Crush. It's funny how the same word for the feeling of disappointment can be used for the feeling of attraction. The Oxford English Dictionary states one of the meanings for the word crushed as "a strong and unreasoning, but transitory attachment."
Ben Willis:
This is the haunting period. The time when the demons of regret come for you.
Ben Willis:
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.
Ben Willis:
The bad news is that time flies. The good news... is that you're the pilot.
Ben Willis:
She caught the wrong second of a two-second story.
Ben Willis:
Within this frozen world I'm able to walk freely and unnoticed. Nobody would even know that time has stopped. And when it started back up again, the invisible join would be seamless except for a slight shudder. Not unlike the feeling of somebody walking over your grave.
