Storyline
| Plot Summary |
SPOILER: Alistair and Miles, both with aristocratic connections, start their first year at Oxford University though they are very different, Miles is down to earth and happy to have a girlfriend, Lauren, from a lower background whilst Alistair is a snob with aspirations to follow his uncle, a Tory MP. The common bond is that both become members of the Riot Club, a long established elite drinking club priding itself on hedonism and the belief that money can buy anything. Having been barred from most establishments in Oxford they have their annual dinner at the function room in a country pub, where their rowdy behavior angers other patrons though they reimburse Chris, the landlord. They hire a prostitute but she refuses to perform group sex, then one of them rings Lauren, whom they importune to Max's horror. Getting progressively more drunk and ingesting drugs they start to trash the room and, when Chris comes to complain, Alistair savagely assaults him, landing him in hospital. Though shocked, none of the others do anything to stop him except Miles, who is attacked before ringing for an ambulance. The boys are all arrested but believing that the club is more important than the individual they agree not to give statements and suggest that Miles, as the newest club member, should take the blame for the attack on Chris.

| Quotes |
[as Alistair is using a cash machine, two muggers walk up close behind him]
Mugger: [pulling out a knife] Don't scream. Don't look at me. Just put in the PIN number, take out 200. Young Hooded Man: Come on, put in the fucking PIN number! Alistair Ryle: [as he waits for machine to give him the money] It's uh, it's actually just "PIN". Mugger: What? Alistair Ryle: The N stands for number, it's Personal Identification Number. So, if you say "PIN Number" you're saying "number" twice. You're saying "Personal Identification Number Number". It's just... it's just wrong. [the second mugger shoves him and he bangs his head against the wall and falls to the ground] Mugger: You think you're fucking clever? Alistair Ryle: Jesus, please! Mugger: Shut it, you posh twat. Pompous little prick. [he spits on him and walks away] See more » |
