Alice and Bob (and any number of others) are having a conversation. Suddenly, Chuck walks in and responds directly to something someone has said, even though he wasn't in the room to hear it. This trope only applies if the following conditions are met: Chuck was not eavesdropping and/or had no way of overhearing the conversation prior to stepping in (this also covers such things as: conversations in an open area (unless Alice and Bob are genuinely alone); conversations broadcast on a loudspeaker or similar system; or Chuck being told of the conversation after the fact and resuming it much later); Chuck is clearly responding directly to what someone has said, for instance answering a question; it's not just a coincidental dialogue. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Sometimes the joke comes from the fact that they're responding only to the last line, for which they didn't hear the preceding context; this can overlap with Right Behind Me. This seems to be an inverted application of the Rule of Perception: because the audience has heard what Alice and Bob were saying, so too did Chuck. The point is that Chuck had no way of hearing the conversation, yet he enters the room and joins the conversation like a LEGO brick. Compare Speak of the Devil.

Angel does this as a Running Gag—plausible due to his vampire hearing. It seems to happen twice as often whenever he becomes his Evil Counterpart Angelus (because Evil Is Hammy = Incoming Ham). | |

Gibbs does this on NCIS all the time. Tony attempted to copy him once by eavesdropping, thinking this was how Gibbs does it (it isn't, as Gibbs then goes on to demonstrate). You could probably rename this trope "Gibbsing". Somehow he's able to walk into a room with exact knowledge of the preceding five minutes of dialogue. At least once. Every. Episode. | |

In Mahou Sensei Negima!, Ayaka does it over the phone. No one supports a relationship with Negi, unless it's her relationship with Negi. Then she has an active conversation with the mostly silent Zazie, to the shock of others. Again ,over the phone. |

Game of Thrones. Jorah Mormont sees a ship anchored in the bay and quickly pulls Tyrion into cover, explaining that it's a slave ship. The slavers must have come on shore to look for... "Water," finishes the slaver captain, walking up on them with his well-armed crew. | |

In The American President, President Shepherd is in the Oval Office talking to his chief of staff about going over to his girlfriend Sidney's house and groveling until she takes him back (she'd walked out on him after he made a deal to kill a bill Sidney worked hard to get the votes to pass, in order to get the votes for another bill to pass). Suddenly, she opens the door and walks in, telling him to "stay off Dupont Circle when you do; the traffic is murder at this time of day". She couldn't have heard him, because the Oval Office is soundproof. | |

When asked how she knew, she tells him Wallace told her. Pan down to Wallace, who appears to have completely passed out but has still somehow texted the information to her. | |
