'Goddamnit, Donut'

Carl's involuntary catchphrase, said at least fifteen times before Odette makes him say it on air. Marks the moments the cat has done exactly what she was going to do.

Progression

First shouted at a llama (ch. 8), then at a cat on a garbage pile (ch. 11), at goblins (ch. 15), at babies (ch. 18), at a shopping cart. Odette plays a montage of fifteen and makes him say it on air (ch. 28): it is a catchphrase now, which Donut wanted from ch. 9. He catches himself halfway through it during the Jack recap — 'Not now' (ch. 39) — and it is the last line of ch. 44.
