Quote
Sick Boy:
It's certainly a phenomenon in all walks of life.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
What do you mean?
Sick Boy:
Well, at one time, you've got it, and then you lose it, and it's gone forever. All walks of life: George Best, for example. Had it, lost it. Or David Bowie, or Lou Reed...
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
Some of his solo stuff's not bad.
Sick Boy:
No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
So who else?
Sick Boy:
Charlie Nicholas, David Niven, Malcolm McLaren, Elvis Presley...
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
OK, OK, so what's the point you're trying to make?
Sick Boy:
All I'm trying to do is help you understand that The Name of The Rose is merely a blip on an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
What about The Untouchables?
Sick Boy:
I don't rate that at all.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
Despite the Academy Award?
Sick Boy:
That means fuck all. Its a sympathy vote.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
Right. So we all get old and then we can't hack it anymore. Is that it?
Sick Boy:
Yeah.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton:
That's your theory?
Sick Boy:
Yeah. Beautifully fucking illustrated.
