I don't think we do, and it's tropable. If you want to make a TLP, here's an example:
- RoboCop (1987): After Clarence Boddicker is arrested and badly roughed-up by Robocop, he shows up at Dick Jones office. Jones berates him for spilling information during his beating, and orders him to eliminate Robo, but Clarence angrily refuses, calling him "Dick" with a particular emphasis obviously intended to reference the body part. As he's leaving, Jones calmly reminds him that he's walking out on the chance become the crime boss of the new development OCP is building. Clarence slowly turns around and comes back into the office.
Clarence: Well, I guess we're gonna be friends after all... Richard.

It sounds like Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving or Chew-Out Fake-Out for the situation as a whole, although it's regardless of whether the target wants to leave or not.
Is there one for when someone is getting a dose of information they don't like hearing, and so they say something like, "I'm out of here!" or "I don't have to take this!" and turn to walk away, but then the same character who was questioning/berating them finally gets to the punchline and the person ends up not leaving?
