He's gone full Vermin for Scumbug.
It'd be romantic if it wasn't so gross.

about what it was like down here when the sewers flooded,
and he just squeaks.
No disrespect, but what am I going to do?
[toilet flushes] - You know, Dad talking Vermin
is the least of your problems, okay?
- What are you talking about? - Uh, it's boring, okay?
Vermin or not, Dad can't tell a story.
Besides, that storm was so dumb.
Nothing even happened.
- Well, the whole city got flooded.
Everyone lost power. And-- - Whatever.
You got to give the people what they want.
Add in a fight, uh, put some monsters in there maybe,
uh, maybe a heist or something.
I don't know. Have Donnie get eaten.
- Hey. - None of that happened.
- So? Get some CG going.
