Conversation Killer - For Contest

We have all gone through it; you are at
    the party, the smalltalk has reached the
     stage where you want the world to end
     and you cannot imagine a polite way of
    leaving the sad setting before any of the
   guests realise that they’ve ruined the day
   Calmly speak the end line 9 words as if it
    was a response to a point, it always gets
results. Turn and leave them all in the dark

As long as you offer this phrase in all sincerity - you will have gone ten paces before someone thinks to question the meaning of it; but by then you are 'outta there' ;)

High in the Spirit? I'm up to 'here' - wish I were taller! I have amended as suggested. Appreciate your praise, too.
