(MADGE interrupts her mother)
MADGE184Please respect copyright.PENANA41s3ERQcmh
(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..
JUSTINE184Please respect copyright.PENANA2zelshzpaw
(worried to MADGE) Madge... I don’t think you understand darling... I don’t think..
(MADGE swiftly interrupts her mother yet again)
MADGE184Please respect copyright.PENANACtIdyyBqdy
