• Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Excuse me, excuse me. I don't mean to harass you, but I was very impressed with the capable and stylish manner in which you dealt with that situation. And I was thinking to myself, now this girl's special.
• Diane: Thanks.
• Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: What's your name?
• Diane: Diane.
• Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: And where are you going, Diane?
• Diane: I'm going home.
• Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Well, where's that?
• Diane: It's where I live.
• Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Great.
• Diane: What?
• Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Well, I'll come back with you if you like, but like, I'm not promising anything, you know.
• Diane: Do you find that this approach usually works? Or let me guess, you've never tried it before. In fact, you don't normally approach girls - am I right? The truth is that you're a quiet sensitive type but, if I'm prepared to take a chance, I might just get to know the inner you: witty, adventurous, passionate, loving, loyal. Taxi! A little bit crazy, a little bit bad. But hey - don't us girls just love that?
• Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: Eh?
• Diane: Well, what's wrong boy - cat got your tongue?
