Guy 1: 35 minutes, 40 tops.
Guy 2: To work?
Guy 1: It's no big deal.
Guy 2: The train ride itself is 40 minutes. I've been on it.
Guy 1: OK, maybe it's 45.
Guy 2: Then you take a subway 5 stops, and have to walk 6 blocks. Plus you've got a 15 minute drive to the train station.
Guy 1: What's your point?
