Call Bastis ex

Hello do you have time for some questions.

Hmmm ok, who is it?

I’m writing an article for a very popular magazine about flowers in Finland.

Ok? I like flowers but what the fu..?

No no no, don’t get me wrong we are contacting you because one of our writers is Bastien.

Is he trying to send me flowers?

No, of course not.

...

Well, Bastien has written a book about the unique and mysterious flowers of Finland, and we thought it would be great to interview someone who's passionate about flowers like you to get their perspective.

Oh, I see. So, you want me to share my insights on Finnish flowers for your article?

Yes, exactly! We'd love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and any interesting stories you might have about flowers in Finland.

Alright, I guess I could help with that. What do you want to know?

Great! First, can you tell me about your favorite Finnish flower and why you like it so much?

Well, my favorite has to be the Edelweiss. It's a symbol of rugged beauty in the Finnish wilderness, and it's just so captivating.

That's fascinating! Do you have any personal anecdotes related to Edelweiss that you'd be willing to share for the article?

Hmm, let me think... Oh, yes! I once went on a hiking trip in Lapland, and I stumbled upon a field of Edelweiss. It was a magical moment, surrounded by those pristine white flowers against the backdrop of the Finnish wilderness.

That sounds incredible. Can you describe the emotions you felt during that moment in more detail?

Well, it was a mix of awe and wonder. The beauty of nature, you know? It's hard to put into words.

I understand, but could you try to describe it a bit more for the readers?

(getting slightly irritated) I just told you, it's hard to describe! It was breathtaking, okay? I felt like I was in some fairytale land, and the flowers were whispering secrets to me!

(trying to push for more detail) Could you perhaps share what those whispered secrets felt like?

(exasperated) Look, it's impossible to put into words! You had to be there to understand it fully. Can we move on to another question?

(persistent) I understand, but...

(interrupting) No, you clearly don't understand! Just ask your next damn question about flowers or whatever and let's get this over with.

(finally getting the hint) Okay, let's move on. Can you tell me about any unique flowers you've encountered in Finland?

(agitated) Sure, there's the Arctic Starflower, which blooms only for a short period during the midnight sun. It's a symbol of resilience in the face of harsh conditions. Happy now?

(trying to remain polite) Thank you for sharing that. One last question...

(losing patience) Make it quick, please.

(dragging it out) What role do you think flowers play in the culture and identity of Finland?

(completely frustrated) Look, I don't know! Flowers are pretty, they make people happy, and they grow in Finland. Is that profound enough for your stupid article?

(finally realizing it's futile) Uh, yes, that should do it. Thank you for your time.

(hanging up) Goodbye! [The Ex hangs up in frustration.] (muttering in Bulgarian) Бог да те побере, Janne! (Good riddance, Janne!)
