Merle Dixon quotes from The Walking Dead

Merle Dixon

I can't go with you. I... I tried to kill that black bitch. Damn nearly killed that Chinese kid.

Merle Dixon

Whatever. Doesn't matter man. I just can't go with you.

Merle Dixon

[to Rick] You know something? You're right. I don't know why I do the things I do. Never did. I'm a damn mystery to me.

Merle Dixon

Maybe these people need somebody like me around, huh? Do their dirty work. The bad guy.

Merle Dixon

Who the hell are you, man?!

Rick Grimes

Officer Friendly. Look here, Merle. Things are different now. There are no niggers anymore. No dumb-as-shit, inbred white-trash fools either. Only dark meat and white meat. There's us and the dead. We survive this by pulling together, not apart.

Merle Dixon

Screw you, man.

Rick Grimes

I can see you make a habit of missing the point.

Merle Dixon

Yeah? Well, screw you twice.

Rick Grimes

Ought to be polite to a man with a gun. [cocks gun] Only common sense.

Merle Dixon

You wouldn't. You're a cop.

Rick Grimes

All I am anymore is a man looking for his wife and son. Anybody that gets in the way of that is gonna lose. I'll give you a moment to think about that.

Merle Dixon

I plucked you and your mute here out of the dirt, blondie. Saved your asses. How about a thank you?

Michonne

You had a gun on us.

Merle Dixon

Ooh, she speaks. Who ain't had a gun on 'em in the past year, huh? Show of hands, y'all. Anybody? Hmm? Shumpert, Crowley. Y'all had a gun on y'all? Hell I think I'd piss my pants if some stranger come walking up with his mitts in his pockets. That'd be the son of a bitch you'd really want to be scared of.

Merle Dixon

You're the farmer, Hershel.

Hershel Greene

And you're the black sheep, Merle.

Merle Dixon

You got to play the hand you're dealt. I only got one.

Michonne

You talk about the weight of what you have to do, how you can handle it. A bad man, someone truly evil? They're light as a feather. They don't feel a thing.

Michonne

The truth is this could have been your shot. With your skills, a whole new beginning. But you choose to stay on the outside. No one's gonna mourn you, not even Daryl. He's got a new family.

Merle Dixon

You keep trying to get under my skin, I'm gonna cut that tongue out. Your buddy's turning you over 'cause he's trying to save his own ass. You're as much on the outside as I am, girl.

Michonne

Maybe. But once the Governor's done with me, at least I won't have to live with myself. You said you killed 16 men since this thing started? You ever kill anyone before?

Merle Dixon

No.

Michonne

And how about before Woodbury? Before you met him? Huh. So he saves your life, cleans you up, fed you a line of bullshit. Why would you kill somebody else for him? You know, we can go back.

Merle Dixon

Ain't happening.

Michonne

Both of us. We can just go back.

Merle Dixon

I can't go back. Don't you understand that? I can't.
