I believe there are several conversations between female characters, mostly about family relationships.

Lucy talks with granddaughter Rhoda about how she's changed with age. Rhoda talks with mother Anita about the grandmother's effect on her life. Anita talks with Mamie about work--Mamie is used to more time off before the grandmother arrives and is considering employment elsewhere. Lucy talks with Mamie about kindness, a gift, and time off from work. Anita and Lucy talk about Rhoda and parenting and the fact that Anita works.

This movie is a love story about a couple married for 50 years, and it is fantastic and devastating.
