How we cite our quotes: (Line)

Quote #1

"You want me to go?" (2)

These are some of Eddie's first words to May. Apparently she's not super happy to see him. There's a lot of push/pull between the two of them on the subject of whether he should leave or stay—May can't seem to decide which she would prefer.

Quote #2

"Don't go!!!" (23)

See, didn't we tell you? Even though she was not jazzed to see him, she's devastated every time he tries to leave. Every. Single. Time.

Quote #3

MAY: …How many times have you done this to me?

EDDIE: What.

MAY: Suckered me into some dumb little fantasy and then dropped me like a hot rock. How many times has that happened?

EDDIE: It's no fantasy.

MAY: It's all a fantasy.

EDDIE: And I never dropped you either.

MAY: No, you just disappeared!

EDDIE: I'm here now aren't I? (83-90)

It seems May has good reason not to want to get too attached to Eddie and his presence—according to her, he's run out on her in the past. Eddie doesn't seem to think she should hold that against him, since he's there right at this very second.
