Tara and Eggs in “Never Let Me Go”

Tara

[at Sookie's house] Did you know MaryAnn wants us all to be roommates here?

Eggs

No. Cool. I guess that other guy came back from Peru.

Tara

No, not cool! Not gonna happen. I just moved in.

Eggs

Okay, fine. We can go some where else if that's how you feel about it.

Tara

That's all you gotta say?

Eggs

Relax. It's not big deal.

Tara

What are you? What are you? Nomads?

Eggs

We move around a little bit. Nothing wrong with that.

Tara

Wait nothing! I didn't know. You coulda told me.

Eggs

Who cares? What matters is being with the people you love.

Tara

Well, other things matter too! Like knowin' the truth about the poeople you love. So while we're on the subject, what exactly is your 'thing' with MaryAnn?

Eggs

Look, when I was ready to lay down and die she lifted me up. Same as she did you.

Tara

Now you follow here where ever she goes?

Eggs

I'm not her dog if that's what you're trying to say. And why all of a sudden are you so paranoid about MaryAnn?

Tara

Because I'm tryin' not to be a fool.

Eggs

You know what this is about? Your history is so fucked up, you have no clue what family is.

Tara

[hurt] That's not fair. I do have a clue.

Eggs

Who gives a damn about a house. MaryAnn, Carl, and me; we take care of each other. We took care of you. That's what family is, Tara.
