[It's true that Bruce feels frustrated, even though he's aware of how easily frustration can cloud reasonable judgement. Regardless, it's hard to push it to the side in one swift motion -- he's too much of a control freak. And here, he feels like it's been ripped straight from his hands and he's been left with nothing to control.
It's not far from the truth.
Still, he knows what this man says is what he needs to do. To refocus. To adapt. He sets his jaw, and though frustration still stirs in him, he aims his implied question purposefully at something Sam had just said.]
