STROMBOLI: -- At last, you September tourists! Since Etna's gone back to sleep, now you can enjoy my greatness !
TOURISTS: -- Are you kidding us? How boring! You always do the same stupid things, small eruptions every 20 minutes or so... we want more!
We want paroxysms, flank vents, pyroclastic streams, crowds in Valle del Bove, cars parked in the middle of the street, guides cursing, rangers chasing photographers everywhere, the lady in her elegant dress pretending to climb the rocky path...... and the stupid American guy who walks on the hot rocks with summer shoes, influencers taking selfies on the crater's edge as it collapses... cooking sausages in sulphur....
STROMBOLI: -- Oh, Hephaestus... forgive them because they really do not know what they're talking about !
