Quote #7

MAY: Somebody's sitting out there in that car looking straight at me.

EDDIE: (stands fast) What're they doing?

MAY: It's not a "they." It's a "she." (280-282)

And as if this wasn't enough of a circus: Now the Countess has shown up. May and Eddie aren't he only one suffering from fits of jealousy—apparently the Countess is as well, and she's hanging out in the parking lot, stalking Eddie and May. This won't end well…

Quote #8

"I'm not going in the bathroom! I'm not gonna' hide in my own house! I'm gonna' go out there. I'm gonna' go out there and tear her damn head off! I'm gonna' wipe her out!" (329).

After the Countess shoots out Eddie's windows and drives away, another set of headlights appears. Thinking that the Countess is back, May is not super pleased, and her violent tendencies are back in full effect. She doesn't actually end up getting her hands on the Countess, however.

Quote #9

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. (333-335)

Eddie and May ended up in a tussle when they thought the Countess had returned, and Martin finds them struggling when he (and not the Countess) gets inside. Because he thinks that Eddie is attacking May, Martin attacks Eddie. Now, he's apologizing, since he now knows that Eddie is May's guest.
