Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: I wished that I'd gone down instead of Spud. Here I was surrounded by my family and my so-called mates and I've never felt so alone. Never in all my puff. Since I was on remand, they've had me on this program, this state sponsored addiction. Three sickly sweet doses of methadone a day instead of smack. But it's never enough. And at the moment it's nowhere near enough. I took all three this morning and now I've got eighteen hours to go until my next shot. I've got sweat on my back like a layer of frost. I need to visit the Mother Superior for one hit. One final hit to get us over this long, hard day.Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:What's on the menu this evening, Sir?Swanney:Your favorite dish.Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:Excellent.Swanney:Your usual table, Sir.Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:Oh, why thank you.Swanney:Would Sir care to pay for his bill in advance?Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:No. Stick it on my tab.Swanney:Ah, regret to inform, Sir, credit limit was reached and breached quite some time ago.Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:Oh, well in that case...Swanney:Ah, hard currency.
