Just over an hour into the film, Sylvia asks for a cigarette and gets one from Maria:
Sylvia: Anybody's got a cigarette?
Maria: Yeah, I do. Sylvia, you don't smoke!
Sylvia: *Laughs*

It's not much, but it's there. There might be some other short exchange in words between the female hostages, but thats about it.

Well worth watching nonetheless: great script and outstanding acting. It also takes up (still) important issues in society regarding socioeconomic status, sexuality and law enforcement.
