The website Thebioscopist.com has tracked down the linguistics consultant used for Prometheus in a effort to determinate what David says to the Engineer in the final scenes. Below you can find the translated quote:
This man is here because he does not want to die. He believes you can give him more life.
It has also been revealed that there was a conversation between the Engineer and David originally which didn’t made the cut.
“We’re all going to have to wait for the Director’s cut to see if the conversation between the Engineer and David – and there was indeed originally a conversation, not merely an utterance from David – yields any fruit”. The consultant said.
Thanks to seeasea for the link.

The ‘Professor’ in the clip is in fact the real-life linguistics consultant used for the film and taught Michael Fassbender (David) the dialogue. I managed to track down the consultant, a Dr. Anil Biltoo of the SOAS Language Centre in London, to see if he could shed some light on the mysterious final scene.
Whats more interesting is that Twitter girl said that the last engineer was close to the sacrafise engineer and it was hinted that the last engineer was responsible for what happened at the engineer base as an act of revenge. maybe he was pissed after david questions because his friend was forced to die for mankind and then Weyland turned up asking for more life...
im pretty sure twitter girl so the full cut of the film. remember she was asked to give feedback on the various scenes.
she also said that vickers survived and there were large xenos.
who knows...
Yeah, he responded by ripping his head off. I think that was solid enough.

dammit.
Proto Indo European... It was the language spoken on europe around the time of the cave paintings with the engineer figures.
Still if anything was ever to be marketed in Hentai it would be this movie.
Plus, the engineer responded to him it looked like. A whisper. I wonder what was said there.
That's the reason why I believe that Prometheus will make some serious money in Japan
"Because of us, you will die in the very fantasy of brutal Japanese rape porn"
I can't blame the Engineer for overreacting about that one.
I swear I can not, NOT think about LOST when it comes to the Black Goo. What'd they have? A living island with a bright light inside that could turn people into black smoke. HNNNNNNNNG
I think most of us had already assumed that David said something like this and pissed off the engineer. Now if only we could figure out what the hell the black goo does.
Engineer: "Hmm, mankind is now using much more advanced tools than I saw them using when last I was there."
hmmm nice tool comparing to the earthenware that i saw last time
As I've said elsewhere, animatronics really isn't all that radically advanced a science - Hollywood was doing it longer ago than many members of this forum were even alive. If that's enough to launch them into a psychotic rage, they need to get their scientific priorities in order.
Besides which, for all the thing knew, David 8 might have been a live human being wearing a medical or cosmetic prosthetic.
I bet when subtitled we would have laughed and i think the engineer did too.
No, I remember the smile came AFTER David spoke. But he didn't become violent until then.
Perhaps if David didn't ask for something, and said they had come to atone for their sins, the Engineer would have reacted differently.
I like this idea
My assumption was that he was pissed at Shaw being hit by one of the mercenaries, maybe he saw a snapshot of what the creations had become and didn't like it
Fake scripts? I want to read one
Who are we talking about, the idiots who wrote the various terrible fake scripts? I think not. I'll stick with the actual movie.
Engineer: "Prometheus Smash!!"
She also said that David made the contents of the urn himself and that the medipod room was full of snakes. Oh, and also that Fifields helmet got melted because he bit the hammerpede as it was getting into his...
...hang on a sec... are you having a laugh?
Why? It caressed David's head. That equated to perceived bonding.
Yep and once more fans came up with more interresting ideas...
I dont understand why they made it sound like there was more to it in the interviews.
Feel like it again doing mystery for the sake of mystery to make believe that the movie is again soooooo clever.
I don't need anything answered because so far all i was correct about all i had questions for
Or is that wishing too much?
Oh ah ambiguity... Mystery... Ricky Spanishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhh...
BTW shadowpred - I was thinking the same thing!
(ack, didn't see the clip above on the comments page)
I don't recall anything vocal from the Engineer(s), other than some grunts in the opening.
Or maybe he just meant to do as Weyland asked, and was happily surprised. But judging by his prior conversation with Shaw, I doubt it. The ambiguity of David in particular is one of the best things about the film and the franchise's future.
He didn't talk, but he sort of smiled like to say - hey that's funny you would be asking for life, because guess what, I'm going to kill all of you!

However, oh boy, did the engineer go overboard with the punishment.
The Engineer gave his life to create and Peter Weyland were up to do anything, even take the life from Shaw to live.
