Lindsay, in creating an analogy to remind Chick to follow the rules, gave a long-winded answer to why Chick was so cold when in the air, and maybe Randolph thinks Lindsay used words Chick wouldn't have understood so Randolph decides to break it down in a clearer, shorter, and more common way. You can't assume the boy you picked up in the swamp being chased by members of the KKK after his father rooked the local populace and fled to be well educated.
Randolph shows his wisdom as leader, as well, by taking Chick aside later where they can speak alone so as not to expose Chick's ignorance in front of the others, and to save him some embarrassment.
