How we cite our quotes: (Line)

Quote #1

EDDIE: You know we're connected, May. We'll always be connected. That was decided a long time ago.

MAY: Nothing was decided! You made all that up. (191-192)

Eddie and May seem to disagree about the depth (and length) of their connection. In Eddie's view, they're always going to be thisclose, but May suggests here that Eddie is somehow delusional or lying about the nature of their connection. Perhaps she's just in intense denial, which seems to spread throughout the characters in this play like the common cold.

Quote #2

MAY: He's just a date, you know. Just an ordinary date.

EDDIE: Yeah? Well, I'm gonna turn him into a fig. (262-263)

In Eddie's absence, May apparently moved on with her life and started dating. Eddie isn't super thrilled about that development, since he thinks that May should have just been waiting around for him (even though he's been fooling around with someone else), so he's threatening violence against the new dude (and, even worse, throwing around bad puns).

Quote #3

"I came here to get you! Whatsa' matter with you! I came all this way to get you! Do you think I'd do that if I didn't love you! Huh? That b**** doesn't mean anything to me! Nuthin'. I got no reason to be here but you." (319)

Eddie is trying to convince May that his relationship with the Countess (whatever that was) didn't mean anything to him, and that May is his actual main squeeze. To prove his point, he uses less than nice language to describe his alterna-flame. May is not convinced.
