A woman is waiting to get on the elevator. But the people in the elevator are on fire.
It looks like hell is contained within the elevator shaft.
Why are these people burning?
Try the stairs. This takes an eternity.

The people in the flames are in Hell, i.e., eternal damnation. But they are also in an elevator shaft, and elevators are sometimes slow, and said to "take an eternity." The nonchalance of the dammed souls is funny: despite their predicament, they calmly recommend the stairs because the "hell elevator" just takes too long (an eternity).
