dramatic exit
Door-slam and leave
A dramatic exit is a departure designed to make an impression—storming out of a room, slamming a door, delivering a cutting final line before leaving.
The phrase often carries a note of theatricality or self-consciousness: She made a dramatic exit after the argument.
It can describe genuinely emotional moments or mock someone's flair for the theatrical.
