What's really going on
The wake is a room full of people talking around the one subject that matters. The cousins perform their happy lives out loud, and Frank listens, keeping Wally at a motel instead of at his side. When he says, "He is here," the line is technically false in the room but true in his head, and the idea of announcing it at his father's funeral is staged as a nervous joke. Aunt Butch's question, "any news on the female front?", is asked with affection and lands like pressure, because the family can imagine only one kind of future for him. The scene is funny on the surface, but every laugh comes from what everyone is avoiding.

このシーンについての質問
Why is Wally at the motel instead of the funeral?
Frank has not told his family about their relationship, so Wally stays away from the wake. Beth wants to meet him, but Frank resists bringing him to his father's funeral.
Why does Frank say Wally is here?
He is hiding the truth from the relatives but admitting it to Beth. Wally is nearby at the motel, so the answer is a half-truth rather than an outright lie.
Why does Aunt Butch ask about the female front?
She is an older relative who wants Frank to settle down and sees it as her business. She does not know why the question is painful for him.
What is the joke about announcing Wally at the funeral?
Frank imagines standing up and introducing him to the whole family at the wake. It is funny because everyone knows exactly how badly that would go.
