(MADGE interrupts her mother)
MADGE180Please respect copyright.PENANAoMV5hof62N
(firm to JUSTINE) No MUM... listen... (to JUSTINE & FRANK) MUM. Dad... I have learned from a good friend that the art of communication is everything... with which this family does not have to convey their misunderstanding or a conflict... we must learn to communicate..
JUSTINE180Please respect copyright.PENANAH5qUgpmbDd
(worried to MADGE) Madge... I don’t think you understand darling... I don’t think..
(MADGE swiftly interrupts her mother yet again)
MADGE180Please respect copyright.PENANAlfgLv0u9WS

(JUSTINE looks at FRANK; then looks back at MADGE)
JUSTINE180Please respect copyright.PENANAvOhhYUf9qb
