  • Just before the desperate attempt to steal from the opiate processing plant, the lads rip the piss out of Begbie while he's safely behind bars.
    Sick Boy: Any fuckin robot radge gits fuckin wide they git fuckin chibbed, android or nae fuckin android!
  • Spud's sexual misadventure with the washed up rock singer.
  • Begbie gets some retroactive Hypocritical Humour in this prequel. He specifically targets Conrald Donaldson QC's house to be screwed by the gang, because the police won't help him much as he defends the criminals they work to put away. But in Porno, Begbie desperately thinks of calling Donaldson himself when the heat seems to be drawing in on him.
  • Sick Boy's disdain for young mothers or baboons as pulling targets:
  • Renton and Sick Boy write and send a fake letter claiming to be from the council to the Currans, a racist couple who used to live next to Renton's family. It informs them that Mr. Ranjeet Patel and his family will be moving into their house as part of a new scheme to help homeless people get off the streets, under the banner of Cultural Unification for New Tenants Scheme. It takes a turn for the worse later when one of the Currans has a heart attack after angrily ranting and raving about the letter.
  • Begbie describes June as having "a face like a painter's radio" after he's ejaculated over it.
  • While in rehab, Renton notes that the head counselor wears slip-on shoes, noting that it will label him "an irredeemable wanker" to most in the room. Sure enough, when the group is asked some time later to list things that drive them to take heroin, "slip-on shoes" nearly tops the list.
