The scene is funny because Alice tried to fix the perfect night for the Kirby’s to come over tomorrow, but instead they come on the wrong when her family is acting their normal ways which can be strange to most people. The family has a drunk woman on their couch, Mr. De Pinna wearing a strange outfit posing, Essie dancing, and her mom in her paint outfit. The house seems to be in disarray when the Kirby’s arrive. The scene is important because it’s the main crisis in the play. Alice wanted to impress Tony’s parents so they could get marry, but instead they see how her family really acts and our thrown off by their behavior. This makes Alice think that their future marriage would not work. This is the crisis because now Tony and Alice’s family has to figure out a way to solve the crisis so Tony and Alice can be marry.
