On one particular episode of Big Wolf on Campus, Merton is asked by another of the main characters to be her partner in the science fair since she needed the extra credit. When he seems unenthused, she says that she thought that people like him loved "that kind of stuff." Merton is horrified because she thinks he's a nerd and then proceeds into a short monologue about how he is not a nerd, but a goth and utters the line "A goth has style." I altered the line to make it sound better out of context.
