Just Stay for the Night
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Staged as a vintage Hollywood movie musical, Key's suave host and Peele's elegant lady trade lines in a duet modeled on "Baby, It's Cold Outside." Each excuse she offers is met with a more alarming reply: the wine keeps flowing, the door turns out to be locked and he will not let go of her arm. When she warns him that she can defend herself, a slapstick brawl wrecks the parlor. The song resumes with the balance of power reversed, as she announces she will be staying after all while he pleads with her to go.

It's locked from the outside
