Multiple named female characters who speak to each other, almost always about something other than a man! Great clear pass

To be more specific, the first passing conversation I observed takes place 0:26.04-06 between Ellen and Mary Poppins:

Ellen: “Oh, hello, Mary Poppins.”
Mary Poppins: “Hello, Ellen.”

As they are passing each other on the stairs. There may be an earlier passing conversation between Mary Poppins and the children in the park around 22 minutes that could pass, but this conversation between Ellen and Mary Poppins was the first conversation exclusively between two named female characters not about a man that I observed. Definitely passes the Bechdel test!
