What's really going on
The heat is doing the work of the whole scene. Tempers fray, small remarks land like accusations, and Tom finally notices what everyone else already sees: Gatsby is in love with his wife. Daisy keeps praising him — "You look so cool," she says, comparing him to an advertisement — while one line quietly points at "that light... at the end of your dock," which is all about her. Tom answers by taking charge and announcing the trip to town. "Fine. Have it your own way, Tom," someone surrenders, and the afternoon stops being a lunch and becomes a battle.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Tom suddenly want to go to town?
He has just sensed the connection between Gatsby and Daisy, and taking everyone into the city lets him keep them under his eye and stay in control of the day.
What does brute mean when someone says it here?
It means a rough, harsh person — close to calling someone a bully. It is thrown at the man who insists on getting his way, half joking and half serious.
Why does the light at the end of the dock matter to Gatsby?
It is the green light on Daisy's dock across the bay, the object he watches every night; mentioning it is his coded way of talking about her.
Is Daisy on Gatsby's side during lunch?
She flatters him openly while Tom is at the same table, which fuels Tom's suspicion and sets up the trip into town.
