James and the Giant Peach

Centipede

What was the result of the Centipede's insulting remarks? How did the Centipede redeem himself? We know his remarks caused the Cloud men to throw hailstones, but we cannot find where he redeemed himself.

James has Centipede cut the rope that the giant Cloud-Man had attached himself to; as soon as the rope is clipped, the fearsome Cloud-Man is lifted straight into the air. Stunned at this sight, the other Cloud-Men let go of their ropes and the peach is freed from the tangled mess.
