What's really going on
The argument looks like discipline: Gertrude tells Paula, "I told you, I didn't want you to see that boy anymore." But Paula flips it into an accusation, saying her mother just doesn't want her "to make the same mistakes you've made." Gertrude answers with "That's none of your business," which is less a rule than a wound. When Paula turns to Sylvia instead — "I've got problems... I'm pregnant" — the scene quietly marks who has replaced her mother as the person she can talk to. Sylvia swears, "Not a word," but the promise pulls her into a secret the adults in the house never get told. That silence, not the pregnancy, is the real weight here.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Paula keep the pregnancy secret from everyone but Sylvia?
Sylvia is the closest person Paula can talk to in the house, and she needs one confidante — but she is also ashamed and afraid of how the married man and her mother would react, so she limits the secret to a single person.
Who is the father, and why does that make things worse?
The father is Bradley, a married man Paula has been seeing against her mother's orders. A pregnancy would expose the affair, and Paula already assumes he will not want a baby, so she feels she has no one to turn to but Sylvia.
Is Paula fair to throw her mother's mistakes back at her?
Gertrude has been left alone to raise many children, so the accusation lands. Paula is lashing out and dodging her own responsibility, but the film lets the line sting rather than settling who is right.
What does "none of your business" mean here?
It is a blunt way of saying the question is not the other person's to ask. Paula uses it to stop Gertrude's interrogation and take back a little privacy in a house where she has almost none.
Why is someone ordered to feed the dog in the middle of the argument?
The command cuts through the fight and shows Gertrude's habit of issuing orders that must be obeyed at once. It also keeps the household running on her terms, even when Paula is defying her.
