I believe Margaret and her daughter Debbie briefly discuss being cold, hungry, and lost at the very start of the film, but I can't remember if it's a dialogue or not.
The Master's wives discuss whether or not to kill Debbie (for way too long), but they don't have names.

At the film's start, Debbie complains about being cold and rather than putting the roof of the car up, Margaret has her sit in the front and sing "Row Row Row Your Boat."

As inexplicable as it is, I feel confident that this dialogue was not about a guy.

They also talk to each other about the dog right after it dies.
