The train car had no air conditioning so the door between cars was kept open to let in a breeze. A lady steps on the train, stands near the opened door, and then closes it.

Seated lady: We need the air!
Standing lady: It's not safe.
Seated lady: It's too hot in here. We kept it open to get some air.
Standing lady: But it's not safe. I could get sucked out the door.
