“选择生活，选择工作，选择前途，选择家庭。选择***大电视机，选择洗衣机，选择汽车，CD播放机，电动开罐器。选择健康，选择低卡路里，低糖，选择固定利率房贷。选择DIY和星期天早晨遇到的***惊喜。选择坐在沙发里全神贯注的看比赛直到头脑麻木，嘴里塞满廉价食品。选择腐朽成灰耻笑你最终的无聊家庭。选择生出一堆乱七八糟的孩子代替自己。没有什么比自私更可耻。选择未来，选择生活?”

我们就象一个个被做好的工具，没有自我，只有选择，被动的选择。选择好好读书，选择考上大学，选择找个工作，选择自私而机械地生活，生下一个比自己更自私的后代来替代我们，然后选择老去，选择死亡.......
在我们的生命中，已经没有了完全纯粹的青春。我们背叛了青春，背叛了自我，背叛了梦想。我们只知道自己的生活很无聊，我们只知道自己需要发泄，我们只知道我们已经厌倦，但却不得不妥协，不得不继续毫无目的的生活，不得不麻木自私地选择.....

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a ****ing big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of ****ing fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the **** you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing ****ing junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, ****ed up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways. It wasn't a big deal, just a minor betrayal. Or we'd outgrown each other, you know, that sort of thing. But let's face it, I ripped them off - my so called mates. But Begbie, I couldn't give a **** about him. And Sick Boy, well he'd done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first. And Spud, well okay, I felt sorry for Spud - he never hurt anybody. So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers - all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the ****ing big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.
