4	[[caption-width-right:350:He ordered his hot sauce an hour ago.]]
5	* The Protagonist beats the tar out of the thugs Andrei Sator sent to beat him up after he met Kat. The one at the steering wheel of the car they sent to pick Kat up is expecting the Protagonist to be thrown out the backdoor... and sees one of his colleagues getting kicked out instead. Cue the thug having an understated OhCrap and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere driving away]], but with the damage to Sator's power over Kat already done.
6	** The PreAsskickingOneLiner before the fight.
7	--->'''Protagonist:''' I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago!
8	** At one point in the fight, The Protagonist uses ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice a cheese grater]]'' as a weapon.
9	* While the Protagonist has a conversation with Priya, Neil is holding the arms dealer's security guards at gunpoint. One of them was eating his dinner and stopped doing so with his plate still in his hands, but Neil, still holding everyone at gunpoint, gently and genuinely encourages him to eat it.
10	-->'''Neil:''' Don't let it get cold.
11	** If the script is anything to go by, Creator/RobertPattinson [[ThrowItIn improvised that line]]!
12	* This bit of SnarkToSnarkCombat between the Protagonist and Sir Michael.
13	-->'''Protagonist:''' You Brits don't exactly have a monopoly on snobbery, you know.\
14	'''Sir Michael:''' Well, not a monopoly. More of a controlling interest.
15	** As the Protagonist is leaving, he asks the snooty steward for a to-go box. The steward only says, "Certainly not."
16	* When the Protagonist finally meets with Sator, his bodyguard pats him down. From the following remark, it gets a little too personal.
17	-->'''Protagonist:''' Whoa, fella. [[HoYay Where I'm from, you buy me dinner first.]]
18	* Thinking that the Protagonist is sleeping with his wife (they are not), Sator spends a few minutes describing the way he will [[CruelAndUnusualDeath torture him to death]]. The thoroughly unimpressed Protagonist points out that his plan seems like an overly complex way to kill someone.
19	** ...which leads to this priceless exchange later.
20	--->'''Sator:''' Next warning is a bullet in the brain.\
21	'''Protagonist:''' [[BrickJoke No balls in my throat?]]
22	** Sator appeared amused by that response.
23	--->'''Sator:''' There will be no time for such things.
24	* If the sheer RefugeInAudacity of crashing a plane to break into the freeport doesn't count, how Neil raises the idea certainly is
25	-->'''Protagonist:''' You want to crash a plane?\
26	'''Neil:''' Well, not from the air. Don't be so dramatic
27	* Just before he tips the shipment of gold bullion onto the runway, one of Mahir's CaperCrew members steals a gold bar for himself. At least he wasn't working for [[BadBoss Sator]]!
28	** After the gold is dropped onto the runway, one of the airport workers tries to do the same thing, but gets stopped by police/security.
29	* There's just something [[BlackComedy disturbingly amusing]] at the sight of Mahir and Kat speeding away from Sator's yacht ''with Sator's body being dragged along behind their boat'', arms splayed out almost angelically. [[ActorAllusion Like a certain Danish Prince.]]
30	* Before that: Sator's death is a satisfying moment for Kat, but many have found his body flopping into the sea to be hilarious. Helped by [[CrossesTheLineTwice this being]] [[AssholeVictim Sator]], of course.
31	* When Priya asks The Protagonist if he's familiar with the Manhattan Project he doesn't even nod affirmatively, more just narrows his eyes and almost... huffs, impatiently, as if to wordlessly convey "Yes. Of course I am. Get to the point."
32	* When one of Sator's men informs the Protagonist that his boss wants to see him immediately, from behind the door the Protagonist asks, "He wants to see me without pants?" The man backs off and the camera zooms away to reveal that the Protagonist was lying.

34	!!Meta/In The Making of ''Tenet''
35	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXjTJrDItEY This interview with Nolan and JDW by CinemaBlend]] reveals a NoodleIncident when Nolan caught JDW with paprika-flavored Pringles, even though JDW was supposed to be slim enough to fit into a business suit. Everybody, even Nolan, busted up laughing at the hints.
36	* This [[https://www.facebook.com/494889541268384/posts/850088592415142/ interview by Twinkle Khanna]] (Dimple Kapadia's daughter) has a few good laughs, but one highlight is what Twinkle's six-year-old daughter exclaimed when she and her brother learned about palindromes from their mother: "[[ToiletHumor Poop]]!" Nolan took it in stride, saying that could be the name of the sequel!
