A scene from Trainspotting 1996
Renton

[Renton watches Diane downs her pint in one sip and steals a man's pint and downs it as well in The Volcano nightclub and then follows her outside]

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. I was thinking to myself, now this girl's special.

Diane

Thanks.

Renton

What's your name?

Diane

Diane.

Renton

Where are you going, Diane?

Diane

I'm going home.

Renton

Where's that?

Diane

It's where I live.

Renton

Great.

Diane

What?

Renton

I'll come back with you if you like, but I'm not promising anything.

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?

Renton

Eh?

Diane

Well... what's wrong, boy? Cat got your tongue? [enters taxicab]

Renton

[confused]

I left something...

Taxi Driver

You getting in or not, pal?
[Renton gets into taxicab]
