Effectively the opposite of Two Scenes, One Dialogue. Two characters — or more, if the writer is feeling particularly ambitious — talk to each other without actually listening, resulting in a conversation that sounds something like this: There are generally three ways to finish such a "conversation": One character will have a Delayed Reaction to what was said by the other, resulting in a "Eureka!" Moment. The conversations comically mesh together and turn into a proper discussion. One or more of the characters will have an epiphany and thank their colleague even though their conversations never actually come together. Not to be confused with One Dialogue, Two Conversations, which is part of an Oops... I Did It Again plot. |

Gilmore Girls was fond of doing this with Madeline and Louise. One particular example was during Rory taking Dean to a school dance. Madeline and Louise notice Rory's dress, which she mentions was made by her mother Lorelei. It's at this point where Louise starts going off in her own little world about how her mother can't make anything ("Except soup. She can make soup.") while Madeline continues speaking with Rory. We never see the end of Louise's conversation with herself, as she gets pulled away by huffy Madeline shortly after. | |

Done in Coupling, Season 1 Episode 5. Jeff is trying to chat up a woman who speaks nothing but Hebrew; Jeff knows this (an earlier scene has him stumbling hilariously through flirting with her), but true to fashion tries to make it happen anyway. The scene plays out and then rewinds with the cue, "But now, imagine you're an Israeli" and translates her lines...while muddling up Jeff's (the actor combined several other languages to make up his gibberish). | |

A literal example from Love and Death. Boris has been challenged to a duel, and asks Sonya to marry him if he manages to survive. They then go into alternating inner monologues, with Sonya considering the various reasons why or why not to say yes, and Boris, certain of his imminent death, becoming rather fixated on the imagery of wheat. | |

In one example from Arrested Development, three characters all monologue about issues regarding their manliness, each continuing the next part of his own monologue from the last phrase of the previous person's monologue, all the while never paying attention to each other. Amazingly, they all reach the same solution to their manly dilemma: going to the mall. This sort of thing tended to happen rather frequently in this show, although I think the above example is the most extreme... In the first season finale, GOB has a scene with Kitty in which he does this; she's trying to convince him to join her to take over the Bluth company, but he's trying to figure out what he can order that's OK for the Atkins Diet. In the commentary, the entire cast was silent for this entire exchange (if you can call it that) and spent a couple of minutes singing the praises of Will Arnett for his performance in the scene, and it was impressive; not a single one of his lines worked off of anything she was saying. "What about macaroni — let me finish — salad? GOB is kind of dumb. |

Sometimes Calvin and Hobbes do this: memorable is the sledding episode when Calvin wants to discuss whether humanity is good, bad, or crazy, and Hobbes is more interested in "Watch out for those rocks!" Calvin ends up crashing: while the two are face-down in the snow, he says, "You know, it's not very polite to keep changing the subject," prompting Hobbes to say "I vote crazy". | |

Justified in The Big Bang Theory episode "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency", where Leonard, Howard and Raj eat a couple of cookies given to them by elderly campers, unaware that they were laced with some kind of drug. A Mushroom Samba ensues, and at one point they have a three-way version of this trope - where Leonard is talking about how he hates his name, Raj daydreams about ruling over all the rabbits in the world, and Howard discusses losing his virginity to his cousin at a wedding. However, it is also subverted in that Leonard and Raj mock Howard for the latter when they've sobered up (if only slightly) at the end. | |

He has kidnapped Lina for use in a super-chimera and thinks Naga is there to rescue her, Naga is convinced that the villain and Lina are going behind her back just to cheat her out of some profit. The "conversation" goes absolutely nowhere, lampshaded by one of the spectators wondering to another "You get the feeling they're not actually listening to each other?" | |

In "The Madness of King Scar" from The Lion King, when Scar wonders about the things he doesn't have that his brother did, Zazu mentions that among them is that he doesn't have a devoted queen. Scar seizes upon this idea and when Nala walks up, he starts singing about her, her "assets feminine" and how she has to be his Queen. Meanwhile, for several lines she entreats him to do something to control the hyenas and end the destruction of the Pridelands until she finally realizes just what he's singing about and is horrified. | |

Subverted in Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, where the title character and his best friend have a conversation with each other; however, since neither speaks the other's language, they don't realize they're both saying the same thing. | |

The Two Ronnies has a sketch in which two men making separate phone calls appear to be having a surreally humorous conversation. Specifically, Gerald (Ronnie Barker) is asking his friend Simon about his date last night, while Walter (Ronnie Corbett) is checking a shopping list with his wife. The scene is one Double Entendre after another until we find out that Simon's date works at the supermarket they're both talking at, and is having an affair with Walter. | |

Musicals do this a lot. One particular example comes from Les Misérables in which Javert and Jean Valjean talk past each other; Javert seems to be listening to Valjean (a full stanza after Valjean says, "You know nothing of my life/All I did was steal some bread," Javert replies with, "Don't you speak to me of crime and the price you had to pay"), but Valjean is playing the trope straight. | |

Kotomi and Tomoya in CLANNAD have one of these at their first meeting. It somehow goes from Tomoya asking why she's cutting paper out of library books to her asking him if he wants to eat the paper. And then if he wants to eat clay, but adds that it would give her indigestion. This is normal for her. | |

Mushnik and Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors obsess about their respective paramounts (money and Audrey, respectively). As is typical, it's not Seymour who takes the initiative for the ensuing musical number. | |

There was a Beetle Bailey comic where the enlisted men's lounge had two TVs on, one showing a romance and the other a football game. By chance, the football announcers appeared to be commenting on the action in the romance. | |

Occurs in S7 Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Spike, being crazy, utters a lot of apparent non sequiturs, and the Scoobies ignore them. The twist is that Willow is invisibly present (and the others, except Spike, are invisible to her), and all of Spike's responses make some kind of sense. | |

''Cyrano de Bergerac: This happens in a very subtle way with Cyrano and Roxane at act II scene VI: Cyrano invokes Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone and tells Roxane the stock phrase I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me. Roxane talks about Cyrano calling him brother and friend. Cyrano and Roxane are so enthralled by their own emotions to really put attention to the other. | |

Lennier and Vir meet on a weekly basis to do this on Babylon 5. Sheridan also likes doing this, mostly with Delenn and/or Ivanova, when he's coming up with one of his "clever ideas" — generally Type 3 conclusions, with a bit of Type 1 occasionally thrown in for laughs. | |

Episode 4 of Gravity Falls has Wendy ask Mabel what's up, and Mabel begins to talk about trying to break up with Gideon. This causes Wendy to start recounting the various guys she's broken up with, and then wondering if she actually technically broke up with one of them, while Mable is still weighing the pros and cons of a relationship with Gideon. | |

The second season finale of Justice League Unlimited had one between Terry McGinnis and Amanda Waller. Terry is annoyed that he's just found out he's the biological son of the original Batman and considers this to be Bruce messing with his life, while Amanda is more concerned that he's just broken her antique teacup. Interestingly, Amanda's monologue segues rather nicely into Terry's flashback at the end of the scene. | |
