Chiron: Oh, Percy, this must be a lot for you to process.
Percy Jackson: Oh, no. It’s–it’s fine. I mean, you’re a horse, my father won’t talk to me unless I get him a drink. Well, this all seems totally normal and reasonable.
Chiron: Oh, no, no, no. No. Mr. D is not your father.
Dionysus: I could be.
Chiron: Yes, but are you?
Dionysus: Why must you ruin everything?
Chiron: Mr. D knows that Zeus has forbidden him from consuming alcohol. And that demigods are able to do things for gods that gods are forbidden to do for themselves. Mr. D was taking advantage of that. Hmm?

What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Percy is overwhelmed by the revelations: his teacher is a centaur, the camp director is a god who tricked him, and his dad is missing. He uses sarcasm to process the “normal and reasonable” madness surrounding him.
Book vs TV Series
Percy’s Attitude: The show nails Percy’s signature “I can’t believe this is my life” sarcasm by bundling all his frustration into one perfect, annoyed line. It captures his book vibe perfectly.
