公交车上尴尬的一幕

The bus is crowded. There are no empty seats, so some people have to stand. At a bus stop, a woman gets on the bus. An old man near her wants to stand up.  
“No, no, no, thank you,” the woman forces him back to the seat. “Please don't do that. I can stand.”  
“But, Madam, please let me...” says the old man. He wants to stand up again.  
“I ask you to keep your seat,” the woman says. The woman pushes(推) him back to his seat.
  But the old man still tries to stand up,“Madam, will you please let me...?”
“Oh, no!”says the woman. She pushes the old man back into his seat again.
At last, the old man shouts, “I want to get off the bus!”
