EDITED!!!
From the pages of NINI&NANA. aka (Amni&Lyana)
Scene five: p28-37.

This scene started off with Amanda asking a favor from Tom which was to comb his hair and put great care in his appearance just like his FATHER. Even though Amanda tries hard to make her son change, Tom only expresses this gesture by going out to smoke. Thus, causing Amanda to be quite furious and started ranting on about what the cost of smoking will amount to in a month. In which the money may be used for a night school course for Tom in Washington D.C.

Soon enough, Tom talks to the audience and expresses his feelings about the Paradise Dance Hall across the alley. He explained that the orchestra played a waltz or a tango that has a slow and sensuous rhythm. Couples would come outside to the relative privacy of the alley and kiss behind ash-pits and telegraph poles. To tom, it was the "compensation for lives like mine, without any change or adventure". I think this means that Tom felt that in his place, no interesting things are happening apart from the same continuous cycle of life, just like his. Unlike the mist suspended over berchtesgaden, or those caught in the folds of chamberlain's umbrella and 'in spain, there was guernica'. Which he uses to emphasize on the absence of exciting things happening.
The play resumed when Tom stops talking to the audience and Amanda looks away from the photo of her husband.

After which Amanda joins him on the fire escape and talked about wishing on the 'little silver slipper' of a moon where Tom told Amanda that he could guess what her wish is. And when Amanda replied and asked whether her head was transparent, Tom simply retorted "You're not a sphinx". Her wishes were fulfilled as he had a gentleman caller for Laura. A friendly shipping clerk from Tom's workplace. This caused Amanda to be thrilled. She was sure that Laura would make him fall for her but Tom thought that the people outside their family might find her peculiar as she is handicapped, shy and somewhat too absorbed in her glass menagerie. He pointed out that laura lives "in a world of her own".

As Tom leaves for the movies, Amanda yelled and said she did not believe he really went to the movies. The scene ends with her calling Laura to make a wish on the moon.

Music: "The World is waiting for sunrise"

and an "ominous tango".
Others: Legend with the word "annunciation"(announcement)

*guernica - a painting- yup. i know what you all are thinking.. a painting? guernica? yeah. but look at it CAREFULLY.. it is full of the painter's feelings towards an artist's FREEDOM.

*Chamberlain and his umbrella (see the hook on the LEFT HAND OF THE MIDDLE GUY. THAT'S the umbrella. and the guy with the 'swastika' logo is ADOLF HITLER!) Chamberlain's legacy is marked by his policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany regarding the concession of Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler.

*berchtesgaden (a place where Hitler's mountain residence was located. The area was also purchased by the Nazis in the 1920s for their senior leaders to enjoy. Berchtesgaden and its environs were fitted to serve as an outpost of the German Reichskanzlei office (Imperial Chancellery)

*a sphinx (seen as guardians in the Egyptian statuary)

*fire escape (to escape. from fire. chei. no lah. just kidding. XD its basically a method of escape in the event that a fire happens inside a building where it makes an exit -from the inside- inaccessible)
