There's a lot of conversation, both male and female, in this film that's treated as background noise, so even though the women at the housewares exhibition aren't discussing anything pertinent to the 'plot', they are shopping together and making sounds of conversation. There are many shots of women in the American tourist group obviously talking about the sights, but again, the sounds are rarely distinguishable. This meets the three criteria specifically for a brief conversation between Barbara, the female lead, and a female seatmate on the tour bus.
