Something inside Sick Boy
was lost and never returned.
:41:05
It seemed he had no theory with which to
explain a moment like this, nor did l.
:41:10
Our only response was to keep
on going and fuck everything.
:41:13
Pile misery upon misery.
:41:15
Heap it up on a spoon
and dissolve it with a drop of bile.
:41:18
Then squirt it into a stinking,
purulent vein and do it all over again.
:41:22
Keep on going, getting up, going out,
robbing, stealing, fucking people over.
:41:26
Propelling ourselves with longing
towards the day it would all go wrong.
:41:30
Because no matter
how much you stash...
:41:33
or how much you steal,
you never have enough.
:41:36
No matter how often you go out
and rob and fuck people over...
:41:38
you always need to get up
and do it all over again.
:41:41
- Gangway!
:41:45
Sooner or later,
this kind of thing was bound to happen.
:41:54
Because shoplifting is theft,
which is a crime...
:41:57
and, despite what you may believe, there
is no such entity as victimless crime.
:42:02
Heroin addiction may explain your
actions, but it does not excuse them.
:42:05
Mr. Murphy, you are a habitual thief...
:42:07
devoid of regret and remorse.
:42:10
In sentencing you to six months
imprisonment, my only worry is...
:42:13
that it will not be long
before we meet again.
:42:16
Mr. Renton, I understand that
you have entered into a program...
:42:20
of rehabilitation in an attempt
to wean yourself away from heroin.
:42:24
The suspension
of your sentence...
:42:26
is conditional on your continued
cooperation with this program.
:42:29
Should you stand guilty before me again,
I shall not hesitate...
:42:32
to impose a custodial sentence.
:42:35
Thank you, Your Honor.
:42:37
With God's help,
I'll conquer this terrible affliction.
:42:55
What can you say?
:42:57
Well, Begbie had a phrase for it.
