KATE Your Aunt Blanche has a splitting headache.
BLANCHE I don't want him to stop playing. It's just the banging.
LAURIE (Looks up from her book) He always does it when I'm studying. I have a big test in history tomorrow.
EUGENE One pitch, Mom? I think I can get him to pop up. I have my stuff today.
KATE Your father will give you plenty of stuff when he comes home! You hear?
EUGENE All right! All right!
KATE I want you inside now! Put out the water glasses.
BLANCHE I can do that.
KATE Why? Is his arm broken? (She yells out again) And I don't want any back talk, you hear?
(She goes back to the kitchen)
EUGENE (Slams the ball into his glove angrily. Then he cups his hands, making a megaphone out of it and announces to the grandstands) "Attention, ladeees and gentlemen! Today's game will be delayed because of my Aunt Blanche's headache..."
Which line best helps the audience understand Kate's viewpoint that Eugene is disrespectful to her?
