"Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways. It wasn't a big deal, just a minor
betrayal. Or we'd outgrown each other, you know, that sort of thing. But let's face it, I
ripped them off - my so called mates. But Begbie, I couldn't give a shit about him.
And Sick Boy, well he'd done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first. And
Spud, well okay, I felt sorry for Spud - he never hurt anybody. So why did I do it? I
could offer a million answers - all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person. But,
that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing.
Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm
looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the
fucking big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and
electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage,
starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk
food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice
of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing gutters,
getting by, looking ahead, the day you die. "
