KATE: I’m sorry, Miss Annie.

ANNIE [INDIGNANTLY]: Why does she get a reward? For stabbing me?

KATE: Well—

(Then, tiredly)

We catch our flies with honey, I’m afraid. We haven’t the heart for much else, and so many times she simply cannot be compelled.

ANNIE [OMINOUS]: Yes. I’m the same way myself.

Based on the dialogue, which statement best describes Kate?
