Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker poses a rhetorical question, daring anyone sensible to deny that the twentieth century belonged to them. Repeating that it was all theirs, addressed directly to Kevin, gives the line a swaggering, proprietary boast that leaves no room for disagreement.
