Act normal? That’s your big plan Max? Don’t you realize it’s only a matter of time before they find us and turn us over to some government agency where they’re gonna test us and prod us, and, oh yea, exterminate us.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Sarcasm meets fear here: telling someone to act normal is dismissed as no real plan. The speaker argues that discovery is only a matter of time, followed by testing, prodding and eventual extermination. Panic and dark humour turn a hopeful strategy of blending in into an obvious dead end.
