He talks in a very slowed-down CreepyMonotone, and he's so tall that he can't stand upright aboard the plane, something which even the massive Philip Cheney can manage despite having about a foot or more on David. Another thing that adds to Walken's uncanny nature: he barely moves when the player pushes him, like he doesn't even belong in the already bizarre world of the game.
