This leads to an interesting thought experiment: how differently would the Indianapolis speech play if one of them was getting a crafty wank under the table?

The notion of Nolan doing a Bond film always cracked me up, given that a core component of the franchise is SEXY and Nolan's work is aggressively sexless. Even when the leads are running around in skin-tight rubber.

Batman and Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.
