Yes! Thank you!
Is there a trope for the following scenario: Adam and Dave are having a conversation. Adam is telling Dave about either something wrong he did or a big decision he has to make. Actually, it should be a conversation from the way Adam is speaking, but Dave isn't actually saying anything. It might go something like- Adam: So, I should take the job, right? Dave: Well- Adam: I know, I know, it's completely against all my ethics, but I need the money, ya know? Dave: I- Adam: You're right! Money shouldn't matter if I'm just selling myself out! Dave: *Blank stare* Adam: Thanks for the advice, buddy. I knew I could count on you.
(Sometimes it also works with Adam acting like Dave is attacking or accusing him with what he's (not) saying.)
