There's another rumour that Tenet follows on from the end of Dark Knight Rises, with Alfred in the cafe. But rather than being in Florence, he's in Hong Kong. He's having dumplings.
Oh, and it's not a cafe: it's strip club.
Alfred's speaking to his business partner, and chatting to a group of foreigners who are just visiting. Celebrating the fact he's saved Master Bruce, Alfred's a bit pissed and being lascivious, extolling what he sees as the excellence of Chinese strip clubs. It's creepy.
He can't hear the others very well under the loud music, so he calls to the DJ to turn it down. Alfred being a high-rolling regular, the DJ does as he says. But this just makes the activities of nearby patrons suddenly audible, and Alfred immediately regrets it.
In a big twist, it turns out the character is not actually Alfred. Michael Caine plays Rod Hull.

Ew, not now."
