Quotes from the movie Trainspotting

Yes, I can. The truth -- well, the truth is that I've had a long-standing problem with heroin addiction. I've been known to sniff it, smoke it, swallow it, stick it up my arse and inject it into my veins. I've been trying to combat this addiction, but unless you count social security scams and shoplifting, I haven't had a regular job in years. I feel it's important to mention this.
Renton


Young Renton noticed the haste with which the successful in the sexual sphere, as in all others, segregated themselves from the failures.
Renton


At, or around this time, Spud, Sick Boy and I made a healthy, informed, democratic decision to get back on heroin as soon as possible.

Renton

Renton


I fantasize about a massive, pristine convenience. Brilliant gold taps, virginal white marble, a seat carved from ebony, a cistern full of Chanel Number 5, and a flunky handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll. But under the circumstances I'll settle for anywhere.
Renton


One thousand years from now there'll be no guys and no girls, just wankers. Sounds great to me.
Renton


The downside of coming off junk was I knew I would need to mix with my friends again in a state of full consciousness. It was awful. They reminded me so much of myself, I could hardly bear to look at them.
Renton


Living like this, is a full-time business.
Renton


Heroin makes you constipated. The heroin from my last hit was fading, and the suppositories had yet to melt. I'm no longer constipated.
Renton


Give us a shot Rents. I really need a hit.
Allison


Do you find that this approach usually works, or, let me guess, you've never tried it before. In fact, you don't normally approach girls, am I right? The truth is that you're a quiet, sensitive type, but if I'm prepared to take a chance I might just get to know the inner you: witty, adventurous, passionate, loving, loyal, a little bit crazy, a little bit bad, but, hey, don't us girls just love that?
