** Even though Renton did, after twenty years, give Sick Boy his £4000 share of the original £16000, Sick Boy is still angry that Renton stole the money in the first place, because they were supposed to be best friends, despite Renton saying (in both the first film and this one) that Sick Boy would have done the same thing to Renton if only he'd thought of it first.
** Spud also reveals that giving him his share of the money at all wound up doing him little good in the end. As a result of a sequence of misfortunes, he did what one would expect a heroin addict who received a large amount of money would do; blew it all on skag and wound up going further downhill.
