This is an impressive foreigner turnout, here, on such short notice. The Chihuelans are definitely intimidated, but they're not backing down. Tony has to grudgingly give them points for guts.
"Yep, I'm fine standing here all day. I can just lock the armor joints, relax, and watch movies until you guys get bored. I've got the entire Fast and Furious franchise on my hard drive." He knows that doesn't mean anything to them. He thinks they'll still get the point.
"If you really want to hang out here and stare at each other, you can send half of your men back, and keep the other half here for this thrilling Mexican standoff. See? Isn't that a nice compromise?"
Tony hasn't seen Erskine, but he has figured out that the best strategy right now is to stall. If there are Chihuelan fugitives in the house, it'll be better if they're long gone before this situation comes to a head.
