The thing about Ford, the thing Stanley knows all to well, is that he has eyes like a hawk when it comes to things that are strange, weird, or abnormal. That said, Ford almost can't believe his brother even tried to slide something like this past him, because even while exhausted to the bone and in less-than-peak physical condition, he knows Weird when he hears it.
And this? Is weird.
"We're not five anymore, Stan." He sounds exasperated, but there's a touch of warmth in his tone that shows he appreciates the sentiment behind Stan's suggestion, even if he doesn't agree with the suggestion itself.
"Go wait outside, I'm not going to drown if you leave me alone for ten minutes."
But then, he doesn't think that's what Stan's worried about. No, Ford has a sneaking suspicion Stan has other reasons for not wanting to leave him alone, but he doesn't particularly want to think about that right now, and so he doesn't.

Or at least he tries not to.
