For the majority of the movie, the two named females characters don't speak to each other. When they do speak, it's a question concerning the fact that all of the characters (with the exception of John Travolta's, Samuel L Jackson's, and Connie Nielsen's characters) use at least one false identity. The lines tossed back and forth between the two female characters are "So, your name's not Nunez?"
"No, ma'am, I'm afraid it's not."
