Read the excerpt from Brighton Beach Memoirs, by
Neil Simon
Which line best helps the audience understand Kate's
viewpoint that Eugene is disrespectful to her?
KATE Your Aunt Blanche has a splitting headache,

O Your Aunt Blanche has a splitting headache.
(She yells out again) And I don't want any back talk,

LAURIE (Looks up from her book) He always does it
when I'm studying. I have a big test in history

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.
