Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone: Difference between revisions

 

The aggressive behavior is [[Get a Room]].

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', after Caro sends a quick telepathic note to Erio, the both of them quickly vacate Subaru's hospital room after Teana arrives. Man, even the kids can detect the lingering [[Les Yay]].

* In ''[[Genshiken]]'', Sasahara and the other guys excuse themselves from Kousaka's apartment so he would be alone with Kasukabe.

* The "let's spy on them" variation was a trademark schtick of everybody else in the house when Ranma and Akane had to talk in ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]''. This of course usually led to the interruption of said moments when someone inevitably either fell through the sliding doors, or got impatient and told them to [[Get On With It Already]]. The same thing happens with Ukyo and Shampoo.

 

== Comic Books ==

* A more mature version occurs in ''[[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck]], Chapter 8B: The Prisoner of White Agony Creek'': After taking a party to "[[Unwanted Rescue|rescue]]" Goldie from Scrooge, Judge Roy Bean wisely decides they do '''''not''''' want to interrupt, because "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|what's going on in that cabin]] is ''not'' a hanging offense in Langtry, Texas, or anywhere else! Thank gosh!"

 

* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', ''Nagato'' of all people enforces this at one point.

* In the ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers|Galaxy Rangers]]'' fanfic ''Isn't Life Strange,'' Doc half-jokingly suggests this to Zach when they see Shane and Niko having a happy moment, despite both of them being laid up in Sickbay.

* ''[[Death and Ker]]'' features several scenes in which Shinjiro, observing the burgeoning romance between Akihiko and Mitsuru, finds a way to slip away unnoticed and leave them alone together. It almost approaches the level of a running gag, as it's inevitably followed by one or the other of them wondering where the hell he went.

 

* In ''[[WALL-E]]'', {{spoiler|MO shoos the other robots away from EVE and Wall-E as they're reunited.}}

* In ''[[Pocahontas]]'', Grandmother Willow closes her leaves like a curtain while the main couple are about to kiss.

* Inverted at the end of ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'' where {{spoiler|[[Mighty Whitey|Milo]]}} and {{spoiler|[[The High Queen|Kida]]}} both run off from their subjects and climb up a large rock structure as the stone face representing {{spoiler|[[Leonard Nimoy|Kida's dead father]]}} flies away into the sky.

 

* ''[[The Matrix]] Reloaded'': Link, Neo, Trinity and the Kid are all on an elevator together. When the door opens Link says, "Let's go, Kid. These two got things to do." As soon as the door closes again Neo and Trinity start kissing.

* In ''[[Sense and Sensibility (film)|Sense and Sensibility]]'', when Eleanor bursts out crying at the news that Edward {{spoiler|is not married}}, her mother and sisters look at each other, gobsmacked for a moment, and then hurriedly vacate the room.

 

== Literature ==

** And in the movie, where they leave the room... and promptly gather around the keyhole to listen in to all the proceedings.

** Not long thereafter, Mr. Bingley cheerfully asks Mrs. Bennet to suggest a ''nice long walk'' for Darcy and Elizabeth to go on, and then immediately suggests that Kitty would not want to go with them, in a manner that can only be considered subtle when compared to Mrs. Bennet.

* Novelization of [[Dead Poets Society]] does it. Actually, Nuwanda asks them to show the garden to the second girl. The ones who understand quickly push the others outside.

 

* In ''[[Dollhouse]]'', Echo starts helping Bennet with the reconstruction of Caroline's wedge, but quickly makes an excuse to leave the room once Topher joins them. {{spoiler|It doesn't end well. (Although in Bennet's final moments, she and Topher ''did'' have a [[Relationship Upgrade]].)}}

* There is a small moment in ''[[NCIS]]'' S7 Premiere, when Ziva returns and she and Tony stand in the bullpen gazing at each other for a few moments before McGee makes some half-hearted excuse and leaves the room.

 

== Theater ==

* In ''[[The Pirates of Penzance]]'', the sisters want to give Frederic and Mabel privacy but don't want to leave them unchaperoned. So they decide to "shut their eyes and [[Talk About the Weather]]" in the form of a very silly patter song. (While peeking.)

* [[Tear Jerker|Tragic]] variant in ''[[La Boheme]]'': Rodolfo is tending to the dying Mimi, and Colline goes out to sell his coat for medicine. As he leaves, he asks Schaunard to come along:

 

== Video Games ==

* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]],'' Gor Coron and the Ordon kids leave the room when {{spoiler|Ilia regains her memories of Link}}. Talo needs to be yanked away from the window.

* At a big celebration party in ''[[Okami]]'', the player can sneak into Sakuya's tree and discover Kushi and Susano (the brewer and the lush, how fitting!) enjoying the scenery. However, there's no one to stop you from interrupting, save a few pointed remarks from the couple - in the end, Issun has to do the job himself and scold Ammy into leaving.

** In a separate incident in ''Samurai Heroes'', after fighting the player army to a standstill for a time by constantly healing each other with food, the couple exchange compliments and retreat, prompting an allied general to muse "I wonder where they're going?" followed by a cutscene of the camera panning over secluded storehouses, flirty laughter in the background... {{spoiler|they're having a picnic.}}

* Happens twice in ''[[Solatorobo]]''. Once, Elh scolds Red for having no sense when {{spoiler|Béluga gives Merveille a hologram of flowers}} and drags him out of the room. The lovebirds in question don't seem to notice. The second time, Chocolat refuses to allow {{spoiler|Opéra, Cyan, and Princess Theria}} to open the door, {{spoiler|when Red and Elh make up after he got fangirled to death by Theria, Alicia, and Toffee}} after winning the Prairie Kingdom Cup. Unfortunately, this time the door is rather thin and Chocolat is being a little loud, so the two overhear her just fine and are a little embarrassed.

 

== Web Comics ==

* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', Annie [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=247 skillfully extracts herself] from Kat and Alistair's presence.

** Later on, Kat [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=788 skillfully extracts Annie and herself] from Andrew and Parley's presence.

 

== Web Original ==

* ''[[Dept Heaven Apocrypha]]'' subverts this; Fia would really, really, ''really'' like to leave {{spoiler|her demon and Meria}} to themselves, but since {{spoiler|the demon is possessing ''her''}}, she can't. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

 

== Western Animation ==

* ''[[Chowder]]'' did this with a ''casserole and a stink cloud''.
