Quote #4
"You're a traitor." (213)
When May refuses to give in and welcome Eddie back with open arms, Eddie gets pretty annoyed. In fact, as you can see here, he thinks of it as a kind of betrayal of whatever they had going on before.
Quote #5
MARTIN: Oh. I heard you screaming when I drove up and then all the lights went off. I thought somebody was trying to—
MAY: It's okay. This is my uh—cousin. Eddie.
MARTIN: (stares at EDDIE) Oh. I'm sorry.
EDDIE: (grins at MARTIN) She's lying. (333-336)
Eddie amuses himself once Martin gets there by presenting May as a big fat liar (despite the fact that he agreed to be on good behavior and lie about who he was—in fact, he suggested the cousin story). And of course, he's not wrong… she was lying, and she's definitely not interested in having the truth of their situation come out.
Quote #6
MARTIN: What would we do here?
EDDIE: Well, you could uh—tell each other stories.
MARTIN: Stories?
EDDIE: Yeah.
MARTIN: I don't know any stories.
EDDIE: Make 'em up.
MARTIN: That'd be lying wouldn't it?
EDDIE: No, no. Lying's when you believe it's true. If you already know it's a lie, then it's not lying. (418-425)
Hmm, interesting logic there, Eddie. Apparently, in his view, you can only be called out for lying if you don't know you're lying. If you know that something is false, then apparently you're not lying. Does that mean that he thought May actually believed the story she was telling Martin, when Eddie called her a liar? That is, does Eddie think May has made up her own reality to protect herself?
