The two named female characters, Lou and Mae, talk on several occasions, but it's a silent movie and most of the times we don't get to know what they talk about.

At two times Mae says that she wish Lou a better marriage then her. Lou, however doesn't respond, so it can hardly be said that they talk to each other. The doubtful subject aint helping either.
