One Thing Led to Another	comment	The pattern is always the same: Two minor, innocuous incidents, yadda yadda yadda, "...and the next thing I knew, we were having sex." The most popular way to brag, to confess to someone you've cheated on, or to answer an angry parent who has asked, "How did this happen?", as a way to avoid going into all the details no one really wants to know. If this is how someone (optimistically) plans to get someone into bed, it's a Missing Steps Plan: Step One, Boy Meets Girl; Step Two: ???; Step Three: They have sex. Don't Try This at Home. Not to be confused with Halfway Plot Switch. Examples

One Thing Led to Another / int_7884ec15	comment	Seinfeld: In the episode "The Contest", George uses the phrase to describe how he ended up masturbating in his parents' house: "I stopped by the house to drop the car off, and I went inside for a few minutes.. Nobody was there - they're supposed to be working. My mother had a Glamour magazine, I started leafing through it... So, one thing led to another..." It also uses a similar phrase, "Yada Yada Yada," to describe a mysterious lead-up to strange or sexy events. It then turns out that the "Yada Yada Yada" George's girlfriend used was not sexual - it was used to gloss over her shoplifting antics.

Although the film features an Out with a Bang-themed dialog to set up the sex scene between Marcy and Paul, the act itself begins so abruptly, viewers are still left with a lot of questions about how they got from that conversation to having sex. In particular, Paul seems to be reluctant and astonished that they are actually having sex, and also very nervous about not using a condom. Viewers can only wonder how on earth they were able to strip naked and get into the cowgirl position, with Paul being so inhibited by these concerns.
