Gavin : Tommy knew he'd caught the virus, but he never knew he'd gone full-blown.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton : What was it, pneumonia or cancer?

Mark "Rent-boy" Renton : But Lizzy told him where to fucking stick it.

The thing was neglected... pissing and shitting all over the place. Tommy's lying about fucked out of his eyeballs... on smack or downers. He never knew you could get toxoplasmosis from cat shit.
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton : Neither did l. What is it?

Tommy was lying facedown in a pool of vomit. [ long pause ]
