The setup

A dapper gentleman's old-fashioned duet about keeping his date indoors turns sinister, until she decides she has had enough.

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.
