As noted by schwarta this Wes Anderson film passes the first test. There are 3 named women: Rita, Alice, and Sister Patricia. However none appear together in any scene.

Though the conversation isn't shown on screen, Alice says on screen that she talked to Patricia on the phone. They talked about Patricia not coming. So, maybe that counts for something, they talked to each other, not about a man.

I don't speak fluent getman so i'm not sure but what about the two german ladies? They firt appear around 10 minutes into the film and speak loudly on the train, I don't know if they talk about men or not but there's that

In regards to Francine's comment, I read on IMDB from a speaker of German that they are having an argument about something menial, one of them lost something, she claims she suffers from bad memory, etc. Doesn't seem to involve a man. However, they aren't named characters, so do with that what you will
