There are actually several scenes that qualify: Alice talks with a number of other women throughout the film. She and Mrs. Agnew (the cleaning lady) discuss collecting matchbooks; she talks about coffee with Minnie (the waitress) and later has an exchange with two women in the swimming pool - first about actually going for a swim, and then later about being frightened, and her torn bathrobe. One of the two women is not mentioned by name in the dialogue (IMDB lists her as "Blondie") but the other is addressed as Mrs. Hanson.

Alice and Irena have several conversations throughout the film, but mostly they are talking about Oliver - which is narratively understandable, since he is the only thing they have in common.
