You have a character who's thinking. Not Thinking Out Loud, actually thinking inside their own head. And yet, another, non-psychic character can still hear them. And starts talking back—mentally or aloud. The first character's lips didn't move, and no one has any means of telepathy or Applied Phlebotinum.
If characters weren't aware this was even possible, this is an Out-of-Genre Experience of sorts applied to the rules of communication. Expect many a Flat "What" in response.
In some instances, this is because the characters know each other well enough. Not that that makes any more sense. In this case, if a character actually acts to react to the other character's thought process, then it could be a Preemptive "Shut Up" or The Tape Knew You Would Say That. All three of these are meant to automatically fall under Rule of Funny.
Because thought will happen in any quote used in an example, please use (parentheses) to indicate thought speak, and "quotation marks" to indicate normal speech, as in the quote above.
Compare Imagine Spotting.

In Spider-Man: Finding Home, which features Peter Parker, Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop meeting and becoming interested in each other after Spider-Man: No Way Home, Kate and Yelena have a silent conversation when Peter's awkward reaction to the idea of sex at least suggests that he's a virgin, Yelena in particular observing that Peter is young and doesn't seem the type to pressure anyone into anything, concluding with a sly smile from Yelena as she observes that virgins can be trained.

The Simpsons:
In "Three Men and a Comic Book", Lisa tells Bart that he'll have to get a job to pay for the rare comic book he wants, and Bart starts having an internal monologue a la The Wonder Years (complete with voice-over by Daniel Stern). Then Homer yells at Bart to stop staring off into space monologuing.
An interesting example from "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" when both Principal Skinner & Homer think at Bart; it's not clear that Bart can hear them but it is implied that Homer can hear Skinner.

One episode of Kenan & Kel begins with the titular characters prepping the audience, then thinking to themselves about each other and the audience. Inexplicably, halfway through the intro, Kenan is able to hear Kel's thoughts and proceeds to tell him what to do while in Kel's head. Kel is left wondering why he can't actually talk back, then opens the episode anyway.

Haruhi Suzumiya's anime adaptation hints at this at times. It can be hard to tell whether Kyon is talking to himself or having an internal monologue, particularly when his mouth is hidden, so it's ambiguous whether Haruhi responding to him is a case of Did I Just Say That Out Loud? or this trope.

During the Arlong Park battles in One Piece, Nojiko & Genzou have such a conversation while underwater and trying to rescue Luffy. One Piece is generally confusing in that it uses thought bubbles as both thought bubbles and whisper bubbles, making it seem like the characters are thinking when they're really whispering to each other.

Big City Greens:
Most of the episode "Quiet Please" becomes this when the Greens are warned by the Scary Librarian that she will ban them for good if they make even one sound, even talking and whispering; to get around this, Tilly suggests they use sign language and charades whenever they need to talk. From this point, there is mostly no spoken dialogue, with most of it played out through their thoughts usually translating their sign language.
This also shows up in "Bat Girl" whenever characters gesture in "baseball talk". A scene near the end of the episode has a long conversation in "baseball talk" when Nancy apologizes to the other Sue-zers for teaching them to be bad sports, while Bill watches in confusion from the stands.

The C. Auguste Dupin story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is probably the Trope Maker. In the story Dupin is walking silently with his friend who is also silent, and then says something apropos to what the friend is thinking. Dupin explains that he followed his friend's thoughts based on body and eye cues, and jumped in at an appropriate time.

One of the Pokémon Movie Review Crossovers being done by Suède, Linkara, and Jew Wario starts off with the first two having deep internal monologues, about errors and their hatred of overblown narration respectively, when Jew Wario just stares at the camera for a moment thinking "....cats are funny....". A second round of internal monologues begin, this time about how much fun reviewing the movies was and their goal of getting the (fictional) Pokémon MMO released by reviewing all the movies. Except that Jew Wario starts to mentally sing his superhero theme, interrupting Linkara who notes it as "rude". Suède then asks them if "as long as we're breaking at least seven laws of physics" they want to review the next movie. They agree, and enter the game world.

Dad: Dad, Mom, and Daughter all speak to each-other without using their mouths; why this happens isn't explained, but Neighbor, despite speaking like a normal person, can hear and respond to Dad's inner-monologue anyway and the conversation carries on like normal. Notably, in "Dad Is Out", Dad is outside the usual set and learns to speak with his mouth, making it clear he and his family have always communicated mentally before this.

Sherlock Holmes: The "Murders in the Rue Morgue" version is also referenced by Holmes to Dr. Watson on a couple of occasions, to prove to Watson he's as good as the fictional Dupin, even though Holmes thinks doing it is "showy and superficial." The idea is taken even further when Holmes meets Professor Moriarty and their conversation starts with "You already know what I'm going say," "You know what I'm going to answer to that." (Then they have the conversation out loud anyway for the reader's benefit.)

How I Met Your Mother:
Ted and Marshall are in some tense situation together. Marshall stares intently at Ted, and you can hear his thoughts in voiceover: (Ted, we've been friends so long that I know you can read my thoughts by now. Go get Lily). Ted, staring back, nods and leaves. Subverted in that he comes back with something else completely, as he thought Marshall wanted something else.
Marshall and Lily have "telepathic" conversations many times, Ted and Barney do at least once (which is rather hilarious, in that all Barney's thinking is the Beach Boy's "Kokomo"), and in one notable instance, Marshall, Lily, Robin and Barney all have one around Ted, where they coordinate a verbal attack to trick Ted into dyeing his hair blond.
Ted and his fiance Stella has one after Stella's sister told them her fiance left her and she can't get a refund but it leads to a Nonverbal Miscommunication. Ted thought it was about paying for lunch. Stella thought it was about taking the wedding. It was foreshadowing that they don't get together and they don't.

In Inugami, all animals, including the Inugami (wolves with various powers commanded by an unknown voice to leave the forest and spy on humans), speak by some form of thought speech to each other unheard by humans. One of the wolves, 23 (because of the number tattooed to his ear) learns to speak English with assistance from his human companion, Fumiki. When 23 encounters Zero, another Inugami, the latter is enraged partly because of cruelty at the hands of humans, and what he thinks are crude noises coming from 23's mouth. Zero later learns English himself when captured by the head of an unscrupulous pharmaceutical corporation, yet his hatred of humans remains until the very end of the series.

Played with in an episode of Charmed (1998) when Piper, after leaving the room, responds to Phoebe's internal monologue, which had been implied to be more of a narration than an actual thought process. Particularly strange, seeing as the series deals with the supernatural, so mind-reading is entirely possible, but since Magic A Is (usually) Magic A, Phoebe should have had more of a reaction than mild surprise.

Played with on the season one finale on Drawn Together, when the cast is aboard a helicopter fleeing a missile attack. Clara asks Wooldoor, who is the pilot, what is he doing. Everyone looks at each other and nods their heads. Clara responds with "Why are you all nodding?" Wooldoor then flies the heli through their house to evade the missile.

An episode of Friends opens with the characters minds wandering when Ross is explaining something. Joey's internal monologue is just a random (doo doo-doo doo). Phoebe's is (Who's singing?)

Control has an odd, one-sided instance of this between protagonist Jesse Faden — who frequently has Inner Monologues in between her conversations with other characters — and resident Almighty Janitor Ahti, who for some reason is able to directly respond to them. It's unknown if he even actually has any kind of telepathy, but whatever the case, nobody ever questions it, not even Jesse herself.
