"Did you see that?!"

What answer was he expecting?

The CBC has a show called the Passionate Eye and they did and episode on re-evaluating the intelligence of animals. Essentially, a group of biologists and psychologists said we need to reclassify how we structure intelligence. Make it a tiered system with the top tier containing Humans/Primates, Elephants, Dolphins/Whales, a certain species of crow, and octopi. =)

It looks like the whale is trying to indicate that it knows mankind is sentient. It further goes on to say, /\ STFU humans and stop polluting my home.
It may have taught itself those noises? To try communicating. If so THAT would be incredible.

This is probably the whale trying to tell humans, "shut the fuck up with all of the fucking boat engines already!" Whales can't hear each other communicate with all of the noise pollution, which has led to all sorts of problems.

That was exactly my reaction.

He SEES the whale breaching then turns AWAY from it as quickly as he can.

Dublyutief, boy!
