Tropes: Shut Up Kiss
CHALLENGE 20 TROPES
Shut Up Kiss
General dialogue leading up to kisses. Nothing too spoilery.
The Shut Up Kiss = "The cute version occurs when one character is babbling nervously, either because they get tongue-tied around the object of their affections or because they are trying to apologize for something, and the other cuts them off with a kiss to show that they understand. A wordless solution to Cannot Spit It Out. May also be used on someone pointlessly rambling on, intentionally trying to evade said kiss. Saying "Shut up and kiss me!" is optional but not recommended. Which partner gives and receives is gender indiscriminate. Double points if it's the First Kiss. "Kiss me, you fool!" is the flirtatious variant, for when the partner hesitates too long. "
Monica & Chandler (Friends)
CHANDLER: So uh, you’re not still upset about what that guy told ya are ya?
MONICA: Wouldn’t you be?
CHANDLER: Well, look it’s been a really emotional time y’know, and you’ve had a lot to drink. And you’ve just got to let that go okay? I mean you were the most beautiful woman in the room tonight!
MONICA: Really?
CHANDLER: You kidding? You’re the most beautiful woman in most rooms.. [she kisses him]
Noel & Felicity (Felicity)
FELICITY: Am I an embarrassment to you? I mean, is that what I am when your real life comes to town? Just like this idiot advisee on your floor.
NOEL: No of course not, listen--
FELICITY: I hate not being able to talk to you, you know that? It's like, one of the worst things, I can think of.
NOEL: Really?
FELICITY: Don't get flattered by that. That's not what that's about, ok? I mean, as far as I'm concerned, your beautiful symphony composing girlfriend can move to New York tomorrow. It doesn't bother me. And I'm not jealous, ok? I mean.. because even if I was, what difference does it make now because you and Hannah are like.. [he kisses her]
Luke & Lorelai (Gilmore Girls)
LUKE: I thought we were on track, and now you're standing there looking at me like I'm crazy.
LORELAI: I'm not looking at you like you're crazy!
LUKE: You know the last time I bought flowers for someone? Never! That's when! Very easy stat to remember!
LORELAI: I loved the flowers!
LUKE: And then when I walked you home after the wedding, there was a moment. I thought there was a moment.
LORELAI: There was! There was a moment. [Luke moves closer] What are you doing?
LUKE: Will you just stand still? [he kisses her]
Michael & Maria (Roswell)
MARIA: I just...I wish you would say something.
MICHAEL: Say what? What do you want me to say?
MARIA: I don't know what. Just say something, you know, to make me feel calm, to make me feel like it's gonna be all right.
MICHAEL: Maybe it's not gonna be all right.
MARIA: Thanks, that helps a ton.
MICHAEL: What do you want me to do?
MARIA: I don't know.
MICHAEL: Shut up, then!
MARIA: I...I hate you!
MICHAEL: Ditto!
MARIA: You know, all I ask of you is just to try to make me feel better, you know, be a guy or whatever. Forget it. I have obviously tried to bark up the wrong tree. [Michael kisses her]
Mike & Phoebe (Friends)
PHOEBE: Okay, I can't do this.
MIKE: What's wrong?
PHOEBE: Well there is no Vikram, Ross made him up because I never really have been in a long-term relationship, I've never lived with a guy, and I've never even celebrated an anniversary so. If that's too weird for you and you wanna leave I totally understand. In fact I'll close my eyes to make it less awkward.. [Mikes kisses her]

Cameron & Bianca (10 Things I Hate About You)
CAMERON: You never wanted to go sailing with me, did you?
BIANCA: Yes I did.
CAMERON: No you didn't.
BIANCA: Well okay, no not actually.
CAMERON: Well then that's all you had to say. Have you always been this selfish?
BIANCA: Yes..
CAMERON: You know, just 'cause you're beautiful, that doesn't mean that you can treat people like they don't matter. I mean, I really liked you, okay? I defended you when people called you conceited, I helped you when you asked me to, I learned French for you and then you just blow me off.. [she kisses him]
Nathan & Haley (One Tree Hill)
NATHAN: I screw up a lot, all right... and being around you I just, I don't wanna be that guy anymore.
HALEY: Who do you wanna be, Nathan?
NATHAN: I wanna be somebody who's good enough to be seen with you.
HALEY: You should have thought about that last night. You know, I keep, I keep putting myself out there, and you keep blowing it, it's probably a good thing because at this point there's nothing you could say or do that's gonna surprise me.. [Nathan kisses her]
Lucas & Peyton (One Tree Hill)
LUCAS: Let me ask you something, do you have, like, an alarm in your head that goes off every time I'm happy with someone else? What do you want from me? I fly to L.A., I ask you to marry me, you said no, so I moved on. Why haven't you?
PEYTON: Cause I should have said yes. Luke, I was young, and I was scared, and I did not realize that by saying I wasn't ready it would mean that we would never be together again. Had I known that I would have said yes.
LUCAS: Peyton.
PEYTON: No, Luke, I miss you every day. And I have told everyone here that I didn't come back for you but I did. Of course I did. I still love you Lucas.
LUCAS: Peyton.. [she kisses him]

WILLOW: Could you just pretend to care about what's happening? Please?
OZ: You think I don't care?
WILLOW: I think we could be dead in two days time and you're being ironic detachment guy.
OZ: Would it help if I panic?
WILLOW: Yes, it would be swell. Panic is a thing people can share in times of crisis. And everything's really scary now, you know, and I don't know what's gonna happen. And there's all sorts of things that you're supposed to get to do after high school, and I was really looking forward to doing them, and now we're probably just gonna die and I would like to feel that maybe you would.. [he kisses her]
Jim & Pam (The Office)
PAM: [on the phone] About 10 minutes ago. No, I didn't know what to say. Yes, I know. Um, I don't know, mom, he's my best friend. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, I think I am. I have to go. I will. Listen, Jim.. [he kisses her]
Will & Emma (Glee)
And last but not least, my favorite:
Pacey & Joey (Dawson's Creek)
PACEY: Alright, what did you mean by that?
JOEY: About what?
PACEY: About me knowing you better than anybody else.
JOEY: Exactly what I said, Pacey. You know me, okay? In a way that nobody else besides Dawson ever has..
PACEY: We're not talking about Dawson right now, we're talking about me, I mean you can't keep on doing this to me, Potter!
JOEY: Doing what? What, so I count on you, I tell you secrets and then suddenly-
PACEY: And you call me in the middle of the night to pick you up...why?
JOEY: Well I'm sorry that I called, I thought that I-
PACEY: I'm not mad that you called me, I just want to know why you called me.
JOEY: You were the first person that I thought of, Pacey.
PACEY: And what does that mean, Jo?
JOEY: It means.. I guess it... it means that I can talk to you and that you're there for me.
PACEY: Don't you ever get tired of talking?
JOEY: No..
PACEY: Well I get tired of talking
JOEY: No, I don't get tired, what I-
PACEY: I don't want to talk anymore..
JOEY: What are you trying to say, Pacey, why are we standing-
PACEY: Jo, I don't want to.. [he kisses her]
