"I know it ain't tea time. I was just hopin' we could settle this peacefully. But it looks like they won't give us that option, huh?"
Palmer cringes as one of the creatures seems to mock his attempts to communicate. So much for that idea. He would have felt more comfortable if the creature just attacked. The laughter makes him think that the creature did understand that he was trying to talk. It just didn't care. Well, Palmer will show them a thing or two. The mechanic grits his teeth. He's no RJ MacReady, but he's no pushover, either. The normally relaxed stoner takes on an uncharacteristically fierce appearance.
He aims his gun squarely at the creature who laughed at him and fires. They couldn't say he hadn't tried for a peaceful solution. He gave the creatures a chance to explain their reasons for attacking.They didn't think he was worth the effort of talking to or didn't have conversations with their prey. Well, he'll have to show them he's more than just prey. He's willing to kill if he has to, though he never has killed before.
The time for talking's over. Clearly the ice monsters don't understand peaceful methods of communication. Like the Thing, except at least these creatures Palmer can fight. Palmer'll show the creatures he's worthy of their respect through force and gunplay.
There's another series of shots as Palmer fires at the creatures within range, careful not to hit anybody on his side. The mechanic's expression is one of cold, fierce rage. He is through with being prey.
