technically bane could be correct.....
as (from wiki)...A monologue (or monolog) is when the character may be speaking his or her thoughts aloud, directly addressing another character, or speaking to the audience, especially the former. Monologues are common across the range of dramatic media (plays, films, animation, etc.). It is distinct from a soliloquy, which is where a character relates his or her thoughts and feelings to him/herself and to the audience without addressing any of the other characters. So if we have one lone 'actor' facing the audience and reciting the lines of old lady one and two then it may possibly pass as a monologue according to that description..unless i've misunderstood something fundamental. pls feel free to correct me if i have..

I stand corrected...
...i think it can ONLY be the characters thoughts being recited which is the central issue, irrespective of how the character is delivering his thoughts...so the thought of another character cannot count as a monologue....i think???

Did they refer to the quiche as precious?

A back and forth between two persons
is a conversation. A monologue comes from one person only (there's a clue in the name).
