My favorite Barthism is from "Giles Goat Boy": The

Eugene Ionesco
A little-known Ionesco play, for three characters, is
"Saluations." Three gentlemen meet on a street corner and
greet each other:
Good morning gentlemen.
Good morning gentlemen.
Good morning gentlemen.
Great to see you. How are things going?
Fine thanks. And you?
Nicely. And you?
Nastily. And you?
Warmly. And you?
Coldly. And you?
And so on, for five minutes. The interaction devolves into an
ostinato "and you...and you..." as each of the three
gentlemen gets to take a solo
"garibaldically...gallinaceously...galliphobically..."
etc.
I adapted Saluations for three interlocked 16mm projectors as my
undergraduate thesis at MIT.
