RENTON:

Eh-

DIANE:

Well, what's wrong, boy? Cat got

your tongue.

RENTON:

think I left something back at the -

The girl has disappeared into the back of the taxi.

Renton looks around.

TAXI DRIVER:

Are you getting in or not, pal?

EXT. ROAD - NIGHT

The taxi motors along.

INT. TAXI - NIGHT

Renton and Diane are kissing passionately in the back.

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

Spud is pushed against the wall held by his lapels. He

drinks from a bottle of beer in one hand.

GAIL:

Do you understand?

Spud nods drunkenly.

Gail releases her grip.

Our relationship is not being redefined; it is developing

in an appropriate, organic fashion. I expect you to be a

considerate and thoughtful lover, generous but firm. Failure

on your part to live up to these very reasonable

expectations will result in swift resumption of a non-sex

situation. Right?

Spud drinks from a bottle in the other hand and says nothing

but he does not look too happy.

INT. TOMMY'S FLAT - NIGHT

Tommy and Lizzy kiss while Tommy unlocks the door.

INT. DIANE'S HOME, HALLWAY - NIGHT

In a darkened suburban hallway, the door opens and two

figures enter.

RENTON:

Diane.

DIANE:

Ssshh!

RENTON:

Sorry.

DIANE:

Shut up.

They walk through another door and close it behind them.

INT. TOMMY'S FLAT - NIGHT

Tommy and Lizzy kiss against the inside of the door, taking

their outer clothes off.

INT. DIANE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

By a pale bedside light, Diane and Renton undress.

INT. GAIL'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Spud is lying unconscious on the bed. Gail stands over

him.

GAIL:

Wake up, Spud, wake up. Sex.

She kicks him. He moans.

GAIL:

Casual sex.

She kicks him again. He moans again.

GAIL:

You useless bastards. So, let's

see what I'm missing.

She begins undressing him.

INT. DIANE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Renton lies on his back while Diane rides above him.

INT. GAIL'S BEDROOM. NIGHT

Gail throws Spud's clothes to the floor and throws a blanket

over him.

GAIL:

Not much.

She switches out the light.

INT. TOMMY'S FLAT - NIGHT

Tommy and Lizzy now lie on the bed in a state of semi-

undress.

LIZZY:

Tommy, let's put the tape on.

TOMMY:

Now?

LIZZY:

Yes, I want to watch ourselves

while we're screwing.

TOMMY:

F***, OK.

Tommy gets up and reaches into the row of videos on the

floor. He lifts out Tommy and LIzzy, Vol. 1 and hastily

shoves it into the video.

Tommy sits back on the bed with the remote control and

presses 'play' as Lizzy kisses him.

His face registers consternation.

On the television, Archie Gemmill scores his famous goal

against Holland in 1978.

INT. DIANE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Renton and Diane climax together.

Diane immediately climbs off and wraps herself in a robe.

RENTON:

Christ, I haven't felt that good

since Archie Gemmill scored against

Holland in 1978.

DIANE:

Right. You can't sleep here.

RENTON:

What?

DIANE:

Out.

RENTON:

Come on.

DIANE:

No argument. You can sleep on the

sofa in the living room, or go

home. It's up to you.

RENTON:

Jesus.

DIANE:

And don't make any noise.

INT. TOMMY'S FLAT - NIGHT

The lights are full on now. Lizzy sits on the bed clutching

a blanket around herself.

Tommy hops around in his underwear, searching desperately.

All the videos are opened and scattered everywhere.

LIZZY:

What do you mean, it's 'gone'?

Where has it gone, Tommy?

TOMMY:

It'll be here somewhere. I might

have returned it by mistake.

LIZZY:

Returned it? Where? To the video

shop, Tommy? To the f***ing video

store? So every punter in Edinburgh

is jerking off to our video? God,

Tommy, I feel sick.
