According to CheatSheet, the Home Alone director Chris Columbus has failed to explain this part of the film. “Interesting. I have no idea. And if memory serves me, he set up this dinner and the guys show up? That is a mystery to me. Maybe something was cut, but that footage is long gone. I have no idea why that happened, but all this is going to make me go and rewatch it later today,” the Home Alone director said. Columbus also mentioned that he had never talked about this scene.
