Fool for Love Family Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Line)

Quote #4

"You're uh—May's cousin, huh?" (442).

Martin clearly doesn't believe the story about May and Eddie being cousins. Gee, we wonder why?

Quote #5

EDDIE: Askin' me if I'm her cousin. That's because you're tense you're askin' me that. You already know I'm not her cousin.

MARTIN: Well, how would I know that?

EDDIE: Do I look like her cousin.

MARTIN: Well, she said that you were.

EDDIE: (grins) She's lying. (445-449)

Again, Eddie and Martin get hung up on the truth of Eddie and May's family relationship, instead of focusing on the fact that their relationship is clearly just creepy and unhealthy, regardless of which branch in the family tree they're dangling off of.

Quote #6

MARTIN: And you're not really cousins?

EDDIE: No. Not really. No.

MARTIN: You're—her husband?

EDDIE: No. She's my sister. (he and THE OLD MAN look at each other, then he turns back to MARTIN) My half-sister. (465-468)

In this super creepy moment, Martin goes straight from thinking Eddie is May's cousin to thinking he's her husband. See, we told you he could see something a little bit deeper underneath this supposed "cousin" relationship.
