- Straight: Alice and Bob get locked in a closet for 10 minutes.
- Exaggerated: Alice and Bob get locked in a closet for 10 hours.
- Downplayed: Alice and Bob get locked in a closet for 10 seconds.
- Justified: Alice and Bob were dared to do it, and they couldn’t say no.
- Inverted: Alice and Bob were kept in separate rooms for 10 minutes.

- Bob refused to get in the closet, and fled the room.
- Double Subverted:
- Charles proceeded to push Daniel and Ellie into closet in Alice and Bob’s place.
- Bob left the room, but not before he was met with Alice inside another closet!
- Parodied: Alice and Bob are arch enemies. Both get locked in a closet together for the rest of their lives because Alice jaywalked and Bob drove through a red light.
- Zig-Zagged: While Alice and Bob were in the closet for 10 minutes, Daniel and Ellie were there for 20 minutes, and Fred and George were there for 30 seconds. Daniel calls a protest against Charles - who locked them in the closet - because the amount of time they were in the closet was unequal. Charles changes the time so everything is equal, but not before he locked Hayley in for life...

- Exploited: Alice uses her time in the closet to confess her love for Bob.
- Defied: Alice never walks into any closets with a lock.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: “Alice and Bob are locked in a closet? I bet there’s going to be a Love Confession.”
