Green line, inbound:

A man standing in the aisle removes his headphones to talk to a friend who unexpectedly boarded the same train. At the same moment, a British woman immediately behind him looks at her travelling companion as says (voice dripping with mock rudeness), "Move over!" The man, thinking she was talking to him simultaneously looks over his shoulder and shuffles away from her. She delivers an embarrassed apology. Meanwhile, the stream of boarding passengers has pushed the two friends far enough apart that they cannot converse. They look at each other and shrug. The man replaces his headphones and begins nodding, almost imperceptibly, to the beat.
