Read this excerpt from a play.

Juan (setting down his backpack and taking a seat at the table): Mom, it’s not like I did it on purpose. I was just practicing my pitching in the yard.

Mrs. Ramirez (heaving a sigh and loudly exhaling): And what have I told you about that?

Juan: I know, I know. Wiffle balls in the yard, baseballs at the park.

Mrs. Ramirez: Well, a wiffle ball would not have broken Mr. Nguyen’s ornamental bird bath.

Juan: So, what should I do about it?

Which line from the play contains stage directions that reveal emotion?

(setting down his backpack and taking a seat at the table)
(heaving a sigh and loudly exhaling)
And what have I told you about that?
Wiffle balls in the yard, baseballs at the park.
