SICK BOY:

I would say, in those days, he was

a muscular actor, in every sense,

with all the presence of someone

like Cooper or Lancaster, but

combined with a sly wit to make

him a formidable romantic lead,

closer in that respect to Cary

Grant.

RENTON (V.O.)

The only drawback, or at least the

principal drawback, is that you

have to endure all manner of c*nts

telling you that -

INT. PUB I - NIGHT

Begbie, smoking and drinking, speaks to camera.

BEGBIE:

No way would I poison my body with

that shite, all they f***ing

chemicals, no f***ing way.

INT. PUB I - NIGHT

Tommy sits beside Lizzy. He speaks to camera.

TOMMY:

It's a waste of your life, Rents,

poisoning your body with that shite.

INT. RENTON FAMILY HOME, LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
