"We should parlay," Doc agrees, even if he shares some of Malcolm's concerns about who or what that is, what it wants. But he is of the opinion that if the people or non-people on either side of the crack in the ground can leave each other alone, in peace, that is better than marking out territory, declaring hostile intentions. Just as he only merely wished to find out more about those lantern-wielding phantoms than try and provoke them.
"If we don't extend an olive branch and it decides to take us out and the other people on our side, it's gonna be one hell of a shitshow. But it hasn't been peaceful towards those who have tried to approach, before us. We need to have a better thought out approach to this." Nothing about throwing down a plank and running across is particularly well thought out, to him.
It's Doc's turn to point, at Raylan, and he's not usually a pointer, but sometimes you live with people for 2 weeks, some of their mannerisms rub off on you.
"Raylan. Givens. You haven't been in a coal mine in a long time. It's not where marshals pass the time. You don't have the usual equipment you'd have with you. And in five weeks' time you're gon' be somebody's daddy, you're gon' be twice the man that we'll ever be, and you're gon' do a damn good job of it. So we can figure out how to communicate with that thing without putting ourselves in harm's way, but I'm not letting you do anything stupid while I'm still alive and walking God's lily white Earth."
Doc directs his glare at Malcolm in case he's got anything else stupid he wants to say, like volunteering his services and saying he's more expendable than them again.
