Are you saying it would cause pain to you?
I don't think this has been mentioned before, so I figured I'd give my two cents on it.
The plane scene has several instances of synecdoche in it, and I think synecdoche has a key role in the messages the scene conveys.
The first line spoken in the film is a synecdoche - "I'm CIA." This is pretty interesting because CIA himself is limiting his identity to the organisation he works for. We can assume this is because his morals and values line up with those of the CIA: CIA's association with his organisation is so strong that it's become the dominant feature of his personality. We could imagine CIA to be the sort of person to have neglected his personal life in working for The Agency, so much so that he'd probably have very little going for him if he didn't have his job.
The line, "Lotta loyalty for a hired gun!" is a clear example of synechdoche, describing Bane's henchmen as nothing more than their weapons - disposbale pawns in Bane's plan.
When Bane says, "Nobody cared who I was 'til I put on the mask," he's referring to his new villainous persona, so simplifying his change in character to putting on his mask is another instance of synecdoche.
"Have we started the fire?"
The brother is asking if the seeds of anarchy and destruction have been planted rather than a literal fire starting, although fires will be involved.
When Pavel's referred to as "Your prize," Masquitto is referring to Dr Pavel as well as the prize CIA would get from retrieving the doctor.
I tried to keep this post brief, but I'd be interested in what you guys have to say about this. Any other specific literary devices you've noticed that stand out in the scene that might provide more meaning?

It could potentially hurt me

It'd be extremely painful. I'm a big guy for you.
ITT: Nolan's philosophy's and other innuendoes in his cinematic work The Dark Knight Rises
There is so much to speculate in this film. Like the real identity of Innit, Nietzschean links and how Nolan often gives clever viewers information with little gestures and quotes about the upcoming scenes. This thread is for discussion about Nolan's poetry.

This is pretty accurate apart from the bit where you identify "Lotta loyalty for a hired gun" with Banes men. This is false, CIA cries this out in reference to his pistol that he has fired out of the aircraft, similar to the line "he didn't fly so good" also referring to his pistol at hand.
The gun is his trident, his "instrument of liberation". Almost like a part of him that extends out. Threatening the men with death and hired for his use.
