• Buffy : I have something that the other girls didn't have.

  Merrick : And what might that be, pray?

  Buffy : My keen fashion sense!

  Merrick : Oh, vampires of the world beware.

• [after punching Merrick] 

  Buffy : Oh, wow. I-I never hit anybody before.

  Merrick : Really? Well you did it perfectly.

  Buffy : I didn't even break a nail.

• Buffy : You threw a knife at my head!

  Merrick : Yes, I had to show you.

  Buffy : But... you *threw* a *knife* at my *head.*

  Merrick : And you caught it. Only the chosen one could have caught it.

• Merrick : None of the other girls ever gave me this much trouble.

  Buffy : And where are they now? Hello!

• Merrick : [Trying to explain that Buffy's a vampire slayer]  I've searched the entire world for you, Buffy. To bring you... your birthright.

  Buffy : My birthright?

  [Slightly excited] 

  Buffy : You mean, like a trust fund?

• Merrick : You do everything wrong.

  Buffy : Sorry.

  Merrick : No. Do it wrong. Don't play our game.

• Merrick : And you're going to be able to use that to track them.

  Buffy : Great. My secret weapon is PMS. That's just terrific. Thanks for telling me.

  Merrick : It's not a weapon. It's an alert system.

  Buffy : Well, aren't we kung fu? I don't see you out there killing any vampires.

  Merrick : I play my part.

  Buffy : You can play with your part all you want, but it's my neck on the block.

• Merrick : I would have been a wonderful bootmaker.
