Guy1 stands and offers the seat to Lady2, Lady2 says it's not needed. Guy1 sits back on the seat.

A few minutes later Guy1 stands again, Guy2 is standing in front of Guy1, Guy2 offers the seat to another guy irrelevant to the scene while Lady2 repeatedly tells Guy2 to move so that she can sit. Guy2 doesn't hear it and tries to sit.

Lady1 tells Guy2 to give the seat to Lady2.
Guy2 asks for a reason, Lady1 says Guy2 was offering the seat to Lady2, Guy2 says he didn't see any offer and doesn't stand up, Lady1 shouts that Guy2 is not a gentleman. Guy2 loses his cool, says this isn't a reserved seat, he deserves the seat as much as Lady2 does, in the meanwhile another guy to prove that he is a gentleman stands up and offers his seat to Lady 2, Lady2 sits. Lady1 continues on a rant of how Men don't stand for women. Guy2 shouts "This isn't a reserved seat, if it was I would have stood, but this isn't". Lady2 starts shouting that Guy2 has a frustrated life and she hopes he gets well soon. Guy2 shouts " You want equality and you want men to stand for you too, should I ask all men to stand to offer their seat to you?". Lady1 says Guy2 and people like him have an issue with women. Guy1 ignores.

After a while Guy2 tells Guy1, that all fault was his, he shouldn't have stood. Guy1 laughs.

After a while, Lady1 gets up. Narrator sits on the seat. Guy1 looks at Narrator and both share a smile. Guy1 gets down to the next station, Narrator starts writing about this scene.

Before getting down from the Metro, Narrator asks Guy2 "Why the heck did Guy1 get up? It doesn't make any sense. He got down after 20 minutes!". Guy2 responds with a cynical "Does it Matter anymore?"
