i took it as a feeble attempt to built tension for the coming storm while David takes forever to put the canister in a bag.

Exactly, that's what it comes across as because that sort of line only works in high tension action movies (ala Aliens). Scott doesn't know how to direct those kinds of movies like Cameron did (not that that's a bad thing).

ill see if I can take it out of the mix, but it's not a priority of mine.

Oh yeah, if you can't take it out easily, don't bother. It's just a bit irritating, is all.
