Cut to the next scene, but dialogue stays intact? Mar03 '07

Have you ever noticed in movies and television when they cut to a new scene, but the dialogue continues from where it left off in the previous scene?

Does this makes sense? What about all the steps in between both scenes? What - the actors weren't talking to each other then? They were just dead silent?

Watching the pilot episode of Bones, I noticed the anthropologist doctor was having a conversation with the government agent in the airport interrogation room. The scene then switched to them driving in a car, and somehow the conversation continued exactly where it left off in the previous scene.

What were they saying to each other in between? Did they just walk out of the airport, and to the car, in complete and utter silence? Not to mention the car was already moving fast down an open road, so there must have been more time in which they pulled the car out, and began driving.

Perhaps they were talking about the weather, or what they ate for lunch.
