Sometimes characters are unwilling to listen to the protagonist, or vice versa. They continue on with their previous activities or simply walk away from them. Occasionally the character will say something that strikes a chord within the listener, intentionally or otherwise. This can cause the listener to stop dead in their tracks, as indicative of a sudden appreciation of events or to highlight the shock they feel. This trope is commonly Played for Drama or horror but can be Played for Laughs too. An Armor-Piercing Question and/or Wham Line can result in a stunned stop, their back turned away from the character, the audience grasping their reaction from their Stunned Silence. Sometimes the camera will focus on their shocked face to really seal the impact. When Played for Horror, rather than dialogue an eery noise may result in this trope. It may also involve a Dramatic Pause and/or Beat before a subsequent reaction. There can be a variety of reactions following this stop (it'd be pretty awkward if they just stood there). The most common ways are as follows: They turn back, immediately siding with the protagonists, or at least showing a willingness to listen. They make no response, instead continuing what they were doing, albeit noticeably slower with an air of awkwardness and/or fear. They react in overt shock, and demand the speaker to explain themselves. They look behind them at the striker, brushing them off forcefully, reiterating their previous point, or simply giving them a scathing look. They make an Armor-Piercing Response that shuts the questioner up. It induces a state of Tranquil Fury and may or may not result in a fight right there and then. They mutter a deadly 'what?' They run away crying. Truth in Television, as many do in fact stop what they are doing abruptly when faced with some armor-piercing words, contemplating what to do next. Even more common are those who walk away from situations they don't want to face. Consequently, most instances of this trope throughout media follow this general type. The stop must be given prominence to qualify, it can't just be a single frame where the character pauses. It can be a precursor to The Reveal, so expect mild spoilers. The Super-Trope to Armor-Piercing Question and Armor-Piercing Response as the collective natural reaction to these, although they do not have to be. Related to and commonly overlaps with Double Take and Stunned Silence, particularly in the first example, as the impact of the question is left entirely to body language. Can overlap with Symbolic Distance where the stop is used to achieve this. Sister Trope to Battle-Interrupting Shout and A Truce While We Gawk, where two parties in active conflict stop as a result of a "STOP IT!" or a jaw-dropping sight. The question/statement could be, intentionally or not, a Devastating Remark, which generally triggers the Trauma Button. Might also precede a moment of Tranquil Fury. Can result in a Dramatic Drop, or if they are driving, braking angrily —sometimes accompanied by a Screeching Stop sound effect. The internal version of a Spit Take. The aftermath of this may include looks of guilt and reconsideration of their actions. Compare Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!, when a character stops speaking (instead of doing something) about a particular topic when they realize something wrong or alarming. Compare Deer in the Headlights as someone freezing in fear of being attacked. Examples |

You've Got Mail: In one scene Joe is watching the news as he runs on a treadmill. A story about his feud with Kathleen's bookstore comes up. Having the reporter take his quote out of context was bad enough, but Kathleen's soundbite shocks him so much that he stops running and lets the treadmill pan him out of frame: | |

The Rising of the Shield Hero: After Naofumi unveils the Wrath Shield during his fight with the Soul Eater, King Aultcray summons him for an audience and demands that he explain where he got such power from. Naofumi doesn't feel like explaining squat after Aultcray has been constantly hindering his efforts since day one, and decides that he can just leave and kill anyone who tries to stop him. Aultcray becomes incensed at Naofumi's disrespect and threatens to target Raphtalia and Filo in his place; Naofumi immediately turns around, glares daggers at Aultcray and calmly lets him know how following through with that particular threat will be his last mistake. He then turns around once more and leaves the throne room as Aultcray impotently screams at him. | |

Girls und Panzer: The Anglerfish team is having a Furo Scene while they discuss their roles. Upon hearing that she'll have to attend practice at 7:00 AM, and awaken even earlier, sleepyhead Reizei quits the team and walks away. Saori tries mentioning that Reizei will need the extra credits to negate her tardiness and avoid being withheld a grade. This doesn't faze Reizei, who is already out the door. "Your Grandma will be so disappointed!" Saori bleats. Reizei stops cold, and the look on her face says "A disappointed Grandma is A Fate Worse Than Death." She returns to the pool, choosing misery over worse. | |

BoJack begins to walk off as his mother is left confused, fully intending to never see her again. That is, until she says his name: not Henrietta, but BoJack.

The Simpsons: Marge, who throughout "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield" was obsessed with hiding her family's "lower-class" nature in order to get in with the elite of Springfield, almost leaves her family behind her in an act of choosing class over them. However, she soon stops, hearing Homer say that now she's a better person, the family can see how awful they really are. She turns around and runs back to take her baby in her arms, choosing her family. In "Hurricane Neddy", the people of Springfield volunteer to rebuild the Flanders' home after it got destroyed by a hurricane. However, they do such a terrible job that it immediately collapses from a slight touch. As Ned tries to step away and wipe his glasses, one lens slips out and shatters, and Ned stops in his tracks and says: |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): The Turtles bicker over whose fault it was that they lost their first battle against the Kraang, resulting in the O'Neil family being kidnapped. Mikey, being last in line, says that maybe it wouldn't have happened if somebody didn't trust them to go up to the surface in the first place. This makes Splinter stop dead in his tracks, the camera cutting to his surprised face. However, he actually agrees with Mikey on this and says the Turtles should wait another year to try again (they don't, otherwise the rest of the show wouldn't have happened). | |

Attack on Titan: Commander Dot Pixis tactfully defuses an escalating riot among the soldiers, who rather understandably are too terrified to go back into Trost to fight the Titans, his plan to use Eren's allegedly experimental Titan powers to seal the breach be damned, by simply allowing them to leave if they really want to. When several soldiers prepare to leave, Pixis adds that "those who are fine with letting their friends and family experience that same terror are also free to leave". All the soldiers that were about to leave immediately freeze in place, before turning around once the weight of Pixis's words sinks in. Not a single soldier leaves. | |

Cats Don't Dance: The Funny Animals conduct an impromptu jazz session in the alleyway next to Mammoth Studios, which catches the ear of Broken Bird Sawyer, and she ends up joining in the fun. But as she dips in Danny's arm, a realization strikes, and she abruptly spins away. When Danny suggests their talents might be discovered, Sawyer replies that he must be dreaming. His comeback is "Maybe I am. But so were you, a minute ago." Sawyer stops her retreat and clutches her heart. Her eyes dart fervently back and forth, weighing the options. "You're a dancer, girl. It's what you live for," on one side, versus "Fool! They'll never let you dance. The system will crush you, like it always does," on the other. Ultimately, the Ice Queen won, and Sawyer disappears into the shadows. | |

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: Miles, as Spider-Man, speaks to his dad, who begins opening up about his struggles with Miles. Not wanting to blow his cover, Miles begins walking away. His father laments on how smart Miles is, before saying with a sharp tone that he does things that are so stupid. This causes Miles to stop dead in his tracks with an angry expression. He walks back and retaliates that he should "get off the kid's ass", prompting an angry dad's "I'm sorry, WHAT?!". Needless to say, he demonstrates his dad's point. | |

In the film version of Rikki Tikki Tavi, Nagina the cobra has the British family in her sights, aiming in particular for young Teddy. "Son of man who killed Nag (her mate), if you move, I strike! And if you do not move, I strike." Mongoose Rikki appears and calls Nagina out, but she remains focused on her target. That is, until Rikki queries, "What price a cobra's egg?" Nagina instantly realizes that the mongoose must have found her egg clutch, and killed all but one. She wheels around, abandoning her revenge target, and makes a desperate lunge at Rikki. The mongoose easily dodges the strike, which leaves the egg unguarded. Nagina snatches her last spawn and flees the scene with fearsome speed for an animal without limbs. | |

Spock foolishly jumps into the whale tank and performs a mind-meld on Gracie, one of the whales. Later, when Gillian Taylor, the assistant director of the institute, gives the two a ride back to San Francisco Proper, Spock unexpressively blurts out a line that shocks Gillian and makes her slam on the brakes of her pickup truck: | |

Augustina "Gus" Mally has no intention of bedding down overnight with him, so she starts off in search of a road or a town. As she disappears into the darkness, Shockley advises, "Watch out for rattlesnakes." Mally freezes with a confused "What?". Shockley explains, "Rattlesnakes are nocturnal; sleep all day and hunt at night. Try not to get bit." Quickly changing her mind, she walks back to Shockley and his makeshift camp. | |

As she starts walking away, however, Kaguya suddenly realizes Shirogane just asked her out and becomes horrified at having turned him down.

Toy Story: Toy Story 2: Although Woody is hinted to have had second thoughts about leaving after Jessie's backstory reveal, he continues on his way, opening the vent and suddenly stopping as Stinky Pete plays on his fears of how long Andy would really want him for. This ultimately results in Woody deciding to stay (for a time, at least). Toy Story 3: As Woody decides to leave Sunnyside, he abruptly stops and looks behind him when he realises Buzz isn't coming with him, much to his dismay. Despite this, he carries on, leaving the rest of the toys behind. Later, Lotso does the same, halting when Woody mentions Daisy. He claims he "doesn't know what he's talking about". |

Back to the Future: In Part II and Part III, Marty stops walking away every time somebody calls him "chicken" (or some variation), before turning around and saying, "Nobody Calls Me "Chicken"!" This Fatal Flaw gets him into trouble several times, either because the person who egged him on is bigger than he is, or because he gets goaded into taking serious risks that put his life and livelihood at stake. His Character Development involves reaching a point where he's no longer fazed by this comment. | |

According to Fizz, "twice in the last 15 years is already way too much", and begins walking off. Blitz disdainfully spits that at least he still works and doesn't get everything handed to him like a "pampered Attention Whore", causing Fizz to stop in anger and growl. He then pulls one on Blitz who has begun walking off, saying that that's what resilience and talent gets you. While also stating he had bigger horns than him. Blitz reacts to this with Response 6. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Played for Laughs in "Chocolate with Nuts". When Patrick starts running off to buy more bags for their chocolate bars, SpongeBob starts piping up with a new selling idea, causing Patrick to freeze mid-run with a dopey look on his face. Also parodied in "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm", where Sandy declares there is nothing SpongeBob can say that will stop her from going after the titular Alaskan Bull Worm. SpongeBob mutters some nonsense words, and Sandy pauses, saying "I got to admit, that slowed me down". In "Boss for a Day", SpongeBob becomes temporary boss of the Krusty Krab. When all the problems start piling up and the customers are demanding stuff from him, he gets so stressed out that he shouts "Everybody STOP!" Everything and everyone freezes, then he runs into the kitchen to find a solution. |

Husker gets very angry at Alastor after he gleefully says he is his 'pet', leading him to mutter under his breath: "Big talk for someone who's also on a leash". He quickly regrets this as Alastor stops dead in his tracks, his power causing the lights to flicker and his voice taking on his signature radio-static quality, eerily asking what he said. He manifests a chain around Husker's neck, threatening to tear his soul apart and broadcast his screams live if he says that again. Alastor then goes back to his genial character, leaving Husk shaking with fear on the ground. | |

Chessy starts to walk off, dismissing the idea, until "Hallie" mentions Annie. This shocks Chessy into stopping since Hallie isn't supposed to know Annie exists. When the twins' parents Elizabeth and Nick see each other for the first time in eleven years, Nick is holding his younger fiancé Meredith in the elevator. Since he was unaware Elizabeth was coming, and Elizabeth was unaware Nick was engaged to someone else, they both stop in their tracks, stunned as the elevator doors close on Nick and Meredith. |

Night Court: "The Wheels of Justice pt. 2", after Harry was forced to evict a family and the son was shot trying to hold up a liquor store, Harry quits. The reason it's only a brief pause for him? They track him down to a pool hall where he's hustling pool, and after the others leave, Dan tears into him, in one of his greatest Jerk with a Heart of Gold moments. He tells Harry he'd just broken him in and now he was going to have to deal with a new guy. When that doesn't sway Harry, he says he'll give Harry's respects to the downtrodden. Harry accuses Dan of not playing fair, and tries to walk off. Dan stops him dead in his tracks by going into Sincerity Mode and telling him he was just and fair, and that he admired him for it. | |
