'Cause everything's been working out great so far.
Hello.

In an American sci-fi video game, Parker and Miguel are trying to obtain a DNA sample of an alien creature in order to analyze it on the computer. Miguel guides Parker over the radio. .
Parker: So once I've downloaded it, we're done?
Miguel: That's the hope.
Parker: Yeah, 'cause everything's been working out great so far.

I wonder if you could tell me why Parker says the word 'because'. It just doesn't make much sense to me.

Thank you.

Answer

I would assume that Parker is speaking a little sarcastically here. Since it sounds like everything they've done before was hard to do, Parker seems a little doubtful that just downloading it will finish their work, or that it will be easy. So he says "'cause" in the last line, since he's basically giving the reason why he thinks it won't be easy: by sarcastically stating that everything else has been working out "great".

I hope I was able to explain it well enough.
