Bob is talking to Alice. Alice may have a problem and be looking for inspiration to solve it; Bob engages in a long and unhelpful monologue while Alice ponders, but one of Bob's comments ignites a "Eureka!" Moment. Alice promptly turns to Bob and says, "Wait. Repeat what you just said." Bob, bemused, repeats the very last thing he said — which is usually irrelevant. Alice impatiently retorts: "No, what did you say before that?" Bob repeats it, and it's exactly what Alice needed to hear. Compare Comically Missing the Point and Dramatically Missing the Point, when the comment Alice fixates on is much less important than the other things that Bob says. Alternatively, Bob's monologue may be an attempt to hide the truth inside a long distraction (see also Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick): If he can remember so clearly what it isn't, he could probably save a lot of time by remembering what it is, but that wouldn't be as interesting. |

In Back to the Future, the band members playing at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance scare off Biff's cronies and mean to get Marty out of the trunk only for this to happen when Marty tells them the car keys are in the trunk with him. Doubles as an Oh, Crap! moment. | |

At the climax of Legally Blonde, after they've relocated to the bathroom (It Makes Sense in Context...sort of), Elle asks the court stenographer to read back the most recent part of the transcript. She immediately starts reading back the song that accompanied the transition, which she apparently wrote into the record. Elle has to specify that she means the witness' testimony. | |

There's an absolutely hilarious version in A Bronx Tale. An eight year old boy from the Bronx witnesses a mob boss kill a man, but follows the code of silence by not telling the police anything. When he goes to confession, however, rather than leaving it out entirely he tries to squeeze it in between sins like missing Sunday Mass and eating meat on Friday. Naturally the priest catches on and responds with this trope. Link to full scene. | |

Monk: In "Mr. Monk Takes the Stand," Evan Gildea has been acquitted of murdering his wife thanks to his defense lawyer discrediting Monk on the witness stand. Afterwards, while working to help clear the name of a friend of Randy's who's been accused of murdering an auto parts store clerk during a snatch-and-grab robbery, Monk finds evidence that the murder was actually committed by Gildea to cover up an emergency taillight replacement he made on his car to preserve the alibi he'd made for his wife's murder. Gildea's lawyer shows up to get him out of custody, and as he's leaving, Stottlemeyer and Monk warn him that the truth will come out about Gildea's complicity in this murder. | |
