MADGE179Please respect copyright.PENANAFRRnXCWQ8D
(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..
JUSTINE179Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ4UoLFkAH
(worried to MADGE) Madge... I don’t think you understand darling... I don’t think..
(MADGE swiftly interrupts her mother yet again)
MADGE179Please respect copyright.PENANAzP7eG3duax

JUSTINE179Please respect copyright.PENANA3m9iH1JcvY
