Quote #1

EDDIE: You want some a' this?

MAY: I'm on the wagon.

EDDIE: Good. 'Bout time. (149-151)

May starts out the play on the wagon—from alcohol, and from Eddie. Of course, she falls off the wagon in both respects.

Quote #2

"Decided to jump off the wagon, huh?" (216)

It doesn't take May too very long to get back to a couple of bad habits: drinking and engaging in a nasty, codependent, incestuous relationship with Eddie.

Quote #3

MAY: We've been drinking a little bit, Martin.

EDDIE: She hasn't touched a drop. (354-355)

Apparently as part of his ongoing attempt to paint May as a liar, Eddie actually denies that she's been drinking, even though she's more than willing to cop to having fallen off the wagon.
