heroin to a dealer for 16.000 pounds. They go to a pub and celebrate,
discussing possible plans for the money.When Begbie ordered another drinks and Sick Boy went to the restroom, Renton suggested Spud to ran away with the money. Spud was to scared of Begbie to consider it. And then, Begbie got a fight on the bar because a fat man hitted him that made the beers poured out to his suit.
Tomorrow morning, they both already came back from the pub to the hotel. Sick Boy and Spud slept on the floor while Renton and Begbie slept on bed. Begbie held the bag filled with money. Renton woke up and stole the money. Spud saw him, but he didn't tell. When Renton already ran away and his friends woke up, Begbie was furious and destroyed the hotel's room violently.
