MADGE183Please respect copyright.PENANAgTuRIeuIqb
(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..
JUSTINE183Please respect copyright.PENANAVLxXztqqxp
(worried to MADGE) Madge... I don’t think you understand darling... I don’t think..
(MADGE swiftly interrupts her mother yet again)
MADGE183Please respect copyright.PENANAO6DTTyfEug

(JUSTINE looks at FRANK; then looks back at MADGE)
JUSTINE183Please respect copyright.PENANAcJjjT5CL7W
