Engineer Dialog Translated from Deleted Scene - What David Said to the Engineer - Prometheus

One of the most intriguing scenes in Prometheus was the conversation between David and one of the Engineers, creators of humanity. In this video I’m gonna translate the extended version of the dialog from the deleted scene which is slightly longer than the theatrical cut. So the dialog in Prometheus isn’t subtitled so it’s not clear what exactly David said to the Engineer and what was his response. Screenwriter Damon Lindelof admitted in an interview that the film originally had subtitles for this scene, but Ridley Scott felt strongly about not including them. And given that David doesn’t seem to value human life, many people thought that he must have said something extremely offensive that would trigger the Engineer to start killing people, but it’s actually not true and surprisingly David asked what mr Weyland wanted. So let’s get to the translation. David talks to the Engineer in Proto-Indo-European an ancient language, ancestor of the Indo-European languages such as Spanish English German, Bulgarian and others. It is probably one of the oldest dialects in human history. And if you remember at the beginning of Prometheus, David stydies Proto-Indo-Europpen with a holographic tutor. Actually, the tutor is a real life linguist Dr. Anil Biltoo from London’s Language Centre. -He was hired by Ridley to teach Michael Fasbender and the actor who played the Engineer some lines on Proto - Indo-Europeen. The deleted scene starts with Weyland asking If the Engineer is alive. David says Absolutely. When the Engineer wakes up from the cryosleep David starts taking to him and his first line translates as “c“ Then the Engineer steps out from a cryosleep chamber and responds “Why are you here”. Then Weyland asks “What did he say” and Shaw interrupts the conversation trying ask about the cargo and what was their mission but the guy hits her. Then David says exactly what Weyland requested which translates as follows “This man is here because he does not want to die. He believes you can give him more life.” The Engineer responds “What this man has done that makes him so great that he deserves more life” And Weyland steps into the conversation saying that “You see this man” pointing at David “My company built him from nothing. I made him in my own image so he would be perfect so he would never fail. I deserve this because you and I we are superior, we are creators, we are gods and Gods never die” shortly after that the Engineer rips off David and proceeds on finishing his mission. This scene is very similar to another movie directed by Ridley Scott Blade Runner of 1982 where one of character is killed by an android almost in the same way by cracking one’s neck. On this shot, Weyland almost touches the Engineer with his forefinger which is a reference to the famous Michelangelo’s painting The Creation of Adam where a God almost touches his creation. The last interesting detail that I want to mention is that maybe the Engineer saw how one of the Weyland’s man hit Shaw and he realized that even after the 2000 year humanity did not change and is still violent and dangerous species and he decided to accomplish his original mission. Engineers viewed humans as a mistake and a failed experiment and the encounter with him after awakening proved it once again. Also, when the Engineer notices that humans evolved way more than they excepted and now they are capable of building highly advanced androids and traveling to distant stars. The technological progress would make humans even more dangerous for themselves, Engineers and probably other species. What do you guys thinks about the dialog with the Engineer and did it really what David said to him or the Engineer would start killing people anyway let me know what you think?
