It seemed, for women, that fucking was just something that you did wi Sick Boy, like talking, or drinking tea wi other punters.

"The fact that you use the term 'cunt' in the same breath as 'sexist', shows that ye display the same muddled, fucked-up thinking oan this issue as you do oan everything else.
That scoobies the cunt. Eh sais somethin biscuit-ersed in reply, in a pathetic attempt to salvage the situation. Rent Boy 0, Simone 1.

Ah hate cunts like that. Cunts like Bebgie. Cunts that are intae baseball-batting every fucker that's different; pakis, poofs, n what huv ye. Fucking failures in a country ay failures. It's nae good blamin it oan the English fir colonising us. Ah don't hate the English. They're just wankers. We are colonised by wankers...what does that make us? the lowest of the fucking low, the scum of the earth. the most wretched, servile, miserable, pathetic trash that was ever shat intae creation. Ah don't hate the English...Ah hate the Scots.

How many shots does it take before the concept ay choice becomes obsolete? Wish tae fuck ah knew. Wish tae fuck ah knew anything.

It's a challenge tae move: but it shouldnae be. Ah can move. It has been done before. By definition, we, humans, likes, are matter in motion. Why move anyway, when you have everything you need right here.

Ah wonder if anybody this side of the Atlantic has ever bought a baseball bat with playing baseball in mind.

Choose us. Choose life. Choose mortgage payments; choose washing machines; choose cars; choose sitting oan a couch watching mind-numbing
and spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fuckin junk food intae yir mooth. Choose rotting away, pishing and shiteing yersel in a home, a total fuckin embarrassment tae the selfish,, fucked-up brats ye've produced. Choose life.

-Ye eywis liked yir mince n tatties. That's whair ye've gone wrong son, no eating the right things. Ye need meat.

-Awright son: Ma asks us.
-Brand new Ma, brand new, ah sais, tryin tae sound like Jimmy Cagney n failin pathetically; like ah dae wi maist things. Still, failure, success, what is it? Whae gies a fuck. We aw live, then we die, in quite a short space ay time n aw. That's it; end ay fuckin story.

Ah kin tell she thinks ah'm a total wanker. Of course, she's completely right. Ah thought that every cunt over twenty was a toss an no worth speakin tae, until ah hit twenty. The mair ah see, the mair ah think ah wis right. After that it's aw ugly compromise, aw timid surrender, progressively until death.

Ah thought ah was bad wi drugs, but the mess some cunts make ay thir lives wi love. It disnae bear thinkin aboot.
