In fiction one great way to up either the [[Rule of Drama|drama]] or [[Rule of Funny|comedy]] of a conversation is to have it occur through a door. One party shuts the other out in attempt to avoid the confrontation while the other desperately tries to communicate in spite of the obstructive barrier.

{{examples}}
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[The Weatherman Is My Lover]]'' Koganei goes to Amasawa's apartment when he skips out from work and they have a heart-to-heart on opposite sides of door, culminating with Koganei's request, "Won't you let me in? Let me into your heart, Amasawa." Amasawa decides to take his chance.
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
* In the first and third ''[[Back to The Future]]'' movies, Doc runs into another room in disbelief of Marty's statements that he's from the future.
* ''[[The Aviator]]'' between Howard Hughes and [[Katharine Hepburn]]. Hughes has locked himself in his room because of his fear of disease, and former [[Love Interest]] Hepburn turns up to rally his spirits.
* Disney's ''[[Frozen (Disney film)|Frozen]]'' has a song, "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?", that fits this. It is barely a duet.
 
==Fan Works==
* "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" parodies, like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uty2zd7qizA this] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zMl70rE33Q this].
