Let's say we have Bob, Carol, and Alice. This trope is for when Bob is pretending to have a conversation with Alice, even though that Alice isn't actually there (or in certain cases, may not even exist). The purpose of this is to convince Carol that Alice is actually there, to maintain some lie Bob is pulling. Bob may do this by holding a one-sided conversation with "Alice", or he may even attempt to imitate Alice's voice and hold ''both'' sides of the conversation. Depending on the situation, this may involve Bob actually partially/fully disguising himself as Alice to further the ploy.

* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'': Buzz Lightyear, who originally believed he was the ''real'' Buzz, has [[Heroic Blue Screen of Death|gone temporarily insane after having his worldview shattered when he found out he was just a toy]]. His (toy) arm gets broken off in attempt to fly; later, he throws the dismembered arm at Woody in anger. Woody has to convince the other toys that Buzz is okay. He hold's Buzz's arm out from behind a wall, as if Buzz was actually standing just behind the wall, and proceeds to (badly) mimic Buzz's voice while waving the arm around.
