4 Renton and Sickboy's bromance
Even the most forgiving person would want to annihilate a so-called best mate who stole money from them. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that the sniff-happy, cash-obsessed Sick Boy lashes out at Renton when he turns up in the decaying beauty that’s the Port Sunshine pub. No matter how much disdain he’s got towards his old shooting-up partner, though, he can’t help but indulge in some proper middle-age bromance with his childhood pal (see: Sick Boy’s living room scene). Fights, lies and deception all happen (Renton’s not exactly innocent here. See more below), but when it really, really matters, their deep-running love for each other comes through. Renton’s blood does run in Sick Boy’s veins after all.
