Or do they? The website Bioscopist decided they'd do the world a favor and break it down for fans, since Damon Lindelof couldn't be bothered to let everyone know what the hell was going on in the movie. Here's an excerpt from Bioscopist explaining what actually transpires between android and Engineer:.
I managed to track down the consultant, a Dr. He was most helpful and provided the following:. That actually explains quite a bit because Weyland wanted to travel to the planet and meet these guys so he could find a way to live forever. That didn't quite work out as he had planned.

I can imagine that some sentences were used for the deleted scene. It has a very deep sense. Some part we can understand My home world is Paradise. I not did ask your kind to come here.
Why is you're presence disturbing my atmosphere? The Star child of the universe. Yours is the only star child that is like our home world. More worlds than ours and his? What kind of creature? Sounds a bit like the bible or a bit poetic. The last sentence would make more sense without "child". Like "Yours is the only star that is like our home world. I am really excited how their home world will look like. We gave you this emotion. We took care of you, gave you fire, built your structures.
We gave you Eden. We praised our creation from above. We watched you time and time again kill each other, start wars. We tried once more to save you. We took a mothers child back to Paradise and educated him, taught him the meaning of life and creation.
But your kind decided to punish him. We gave you the fruits of life and you repay us by leaving it to rot. Prepare for rapture! Not from them? What does he mean with "Mothers child"? And "Fruits of life"? Tell me, Why? It's inevitable.
What do you think? My supposition still stands and is supported in the rest of the Total Film interview review:. So there we have it. Apparently, the scene was initially written to involve a much longer conversation, so perhaps more details will emerge in the deleted material on the DVD.
Or even in a sequel…. Why wouldn't David say what he had been asked to? He is not concerned with the question or the answer. For him, it is academic at best.
He has already made his decision about humanity and given the information he has up to that point, he assumes the Engineers already have their own less than stellar opinion of humanity as well. However, given the purported intelligence of the Engineers, and a time-table of their last visit approximately 2, years ago, during a very warlike period on Earth once he saw how violent, humanity had remained, he realized he would have to complete his mission.
He did not seem conflicted in any way. My suspicion was he recognized what David was and could extrapolate how long he had been asleep, which may have given him greater motivation to deliver his payload, fearing a galactic outbreak of this violent species. The Engineer did not seem surprised to see us, likely as a diminutive and less impressive form of itself. I had the impression the Engineer did not fear humanity, so much as their lack of individual control.
He was privy to, in a matter of seconds, hierarchical dominance behavior, aggression, anger, and directed violence. From the aspect of a species that creates life, certainly an undesirable outcome. Perhaps the same reaction we might have if a beloved pet suddenly attacked us. We would put it down, for its own good.
The Engineer maintained a surprising level of apparent emotional control during his attack on the team and his subsequent launching of his ship. He did not appear to have any issues with completing his mission, so his belief in the necessity was apparent in his actions. I would also have to credit this Engineer with some degree of forethought. He was the only one on this ship to make it back to stasis and secure himself before the pathogen was able to reach him.
I suspect he thought it would be safer to be in stasis than dying in the halls. David's experience of humanity soured him on meeting the Engineers and even though he was intellectually curious about their technology, he showed no real interest in the Engineers, themselves, likely considering them as potentially dangerous as he considered mankind. Maybe more so, since humanity was based on their DNA.
It was certainly not an expected outcome from David's perspective. Before the crew enters the chamber to awaken the Engineer, Elizabeth asks David why the Engineers would want to destroy Earth. David replies "sometimes before you can create you must destroy".
It's also explained earlier in the film that the reason the Engineers ship has breathable air is because it was terraforming the planet. So the Engineers are planet builders, which is exactly what Wayland Industries has become. Mankind has started to mimic it's creators, mankind has even created David so they've become a creator as well. When the Engineer is awakened he is faced with his own creation, that is mankind. There is Weyland demanding that David ask him what the key to life is. Elizabeth is demanding that David ask why the Engineers want to destroy Earth.
One of Weyland's bodyguards strikes Elizabeth sending her to the ground. David watches all this chaos. It's clear during the film that David becomes intrigued and amazed by the Engineers. He is also fascinated by the idea that a thing can meet its maker. So we are not sure what David's mindset is when he first speaks to the Engineer.
We know that David is capable of murder because he has no feelings for humans. The Engineer sees his creation "mankind" in its raw form. Weyland represents greed, death and weakness.
Elizabeth represents fear and anger, and her being pushed down represents the sins of mankind. David speaks to the Engineer and he turns to David, places his hand on his head almost to say "I am pleased, but also I am sorry".
The Engineer then tries to kill David by ripping his head off. Near the end of the film, David's talking head tells Elizabeth he was wrong about the Engineers. It's not explained what he was wrong about.
So I think it's clear that David says something condemning the human race to the Engineer while everyone else in the room is acting badly. So the Engineer pats David on the head much like a master patting his dog.
