Right This Way Sir

I'm in the subway station at Rock Center, arguing with my girlfriend at the time. It gets kind of heated but it did not get to a shouting level. She said something that really was unnecessary, so I called her a f*cking bitch. Well move over Rover! She swung her bag at me, missing my face by millimeters, and then started to come after me. I ran like the dickens, down the steps and on to the platform. As I descended, I saw a 'V' train on the left and a 'D' train on the right. The doors on both cars were open. I hopped on the 'V' and the doors closed just behind me, and to my surprise, nobody got caught in them and they did not reopen. The love of my life, was not far behind. She just missed the 'V' so she hopped on the 'D', whose doors closed just after she entered. Now I felt like I was in a movie, because this was getting way too stupid. The 'V' took off first, about 10 seconds ahead of the 'D'. Now, we were headed downtown. Both of these trains stop at the same stops for a while before separating. We both entered in the first car, so I wanted to try to lose her at 42nd street. So I walk to the end of the car, to pass through, and a homeless guy is leaning on the door, dancing to music, that apparently only he could hear. He looked pretty crazed, and smelled pretty ripe. "Excuse me" I said. He grunted "Don't block this f*cking door man!" I then said "Yo, can I get by?" He, again said "Don't block this f*cking door man!" I took out a dollar and waved it in his face. He snatched it from me, opened the door for me, bowed, held out his hand, and in a game show host-like voice said "Right this way sir! You have a good day."
My lady never caught up to me, and we never spoke after that, until about 3 months later. She called me and asked me to return the Godfather trilogy DVD's she gave me for Christmas.
