A.K.A [[Take You Aside Talk]]: A type of [[Room Shuffle]] where a character wants to talk with another character in private, so comes up with some random excuse for the two of them to leave the room together, usually just stepping into a hallway or a bathroom or something for a minute or two.
 
The excuse may range from completely vague ("Hey Jimmy, we need to talk about that thing? Remember? That thing?") to oddly specific ("Say Jimmy, didn't you want me to show you my walk-in closet?")
 
About one in three times, the second character will totally miss the point. "What are you talking about? I've seen your closet like a million times." "Not since I painted it. You said you wanted to see it now that it's painted, ''right?''" "I don't remember saying that..."
Line 17:
* In ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', the character Mion, in order to get Keiichi away from Rena to talk to him privately, says that she was going to lend him some manga, in both the manga and ''both'' versions of the anime, where she, to my relief, pronounced it correctly.
* In [[Bakuman。]], Takaagi meets with Miyoshi's father to discuss marrying her and mentions Mashito's uncle. Miyoshi's father, who was friends with Mashiro's uncle and was in love with the same woman, has Takagi call Mashiro over, supposedly wanting to challenge him to a sparring match, but instead has them go to a restaurant to talk about it without his wife and daughter hearing.
* In [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha AsA's]], when Hayate is hospitalized as a result of the Book of Darkness draining more of her life, Dr. Ishida calls Signum and Shamal, the two members of Hayate's family who are privy to the less pleasant news about her condition, from her hospital room to the hallway to ask them a few questions and inform them she will have to be hospitalized for the time being.
* In [[Naruto]], after Sakura's injuries force her to stop pursuing Orochimaru, Yamato orders the team to stop because of Sakura's importance as [[The Medic]]. He then tells Naruto to come with him, supposedly to discuss new strategies now that Sai, Naruto's partner for tactical purposes, has betrayed them. As soon as they're out of earshot, Yamato tells Naruto that he was responsible for injuring Sakura while under the fox's control, and that if he wants to rescue Sasuke, he must do so with his own power.

* In one episode ''[[King of the Hill]]'', it is revealed that in high school Hank, Dale, and Bill crashed Boomhauer's car into a lake and never told him about it, leaving to assume it was stolen. Years later, Hank discovers that the lake is being drained, and tries to warn Bill and Dale. It's especially awkward since Boomhauer is the only other person present.
{{quote|'''Hank:''' Uh, Dale? I just remembered that I left my workbench in your basement. I need you and Bill, ''just'' you and Bill, to come help me move it back into my basement. ''(The three leave Boomhauer alone in the alley.)'' }}
