Title: Direct Quotes
Long Divison, Kiese Laymon, Copyright 2013, Dark Mayonnaise, Book 1, 144-148
Rodney:“Is Baize dead?” “How come the last chapter of this book is like twenty blank pages? Look!”
Khai: “City, don’t do it.”
Raul : “I didn't do it, I didn't .”
Rodney: Is Baize Shephard dead? Is that what ‘disappear’ means?
Raul : Your grandmother and your uncle took me down to Lake Marathon. When we got out the car, she had some folks waiting for us.
Rodney : Wait, were you there when my granddaddy died, too? Please just tell me.
Raul: That’s what I’m saying. I ain’t do it. I don’t even know no Tom Henry. The folks at the lake, They said Tom Henry was the one who saved me from drowning back in the day.”
Rodney:Tom Henry… My granddaddy.
Khai: All things considered, I don’t believe you can even use ‘n*****r’ in a sentence.
Raul : What in the devil is wrong with y’all? Why are y’all doing this?
Rodney: You kicked me in my back and called me out my name. And I don’t hate you for it. For real. I don’t even hate you if you were there when my granddaddy died. But I just want you to be honest. Do you know where Baize Shephard is? Did you kill her?
Raul: No! Hell naw!
Rodney: You know who killed her?
Raul : You serious? That story you reading, it said that little girl disappeared, and the man responsible for that disappearing is the man who wrote that story.
Rodney : I know what this book said, but it’s just a book! I’m asking you where Baize’s body is.
Raul: You find the man who wrote that story, you find that little girl.
Rodney : You did it! You know what you did!
Janell :What is wrong with you?
Janell :Leave. Both of y’all, get in the car. And lock the doors!

To craft a captivating two-sentence summary of your video, you want to focus on the intrigue and suspense present in the dialogues. Your video seems to revolve around a mysterious disappearance and the tension between characters as they seek the truth. For example, you could say, “Dive into a gripping narrative where Rodney confronts Raul about the enigmatic disappearance of Baize Shephard, unraveling a web of secrets tied to a haunting past. As accusations fly and truths are sought, the line between reality and fiction blurs, challenging the characters’ perceptions of trust and memory.”
In your text, you highlight the mystery surrounding Baize Shephard’s fate and the emotional turmoil of the characters. Rodney’s persistent questioning about Baize’s disappearance and the cryptic responses from Raul suggest a deeper story. Additionally, the mention of a book with blank pages and the reference to a character named Tom Henry, who is revealed to be Rodney’s grandfather, adds layers to the narrative. These elements can be used to draw viewers in by emphasizing the unresolved questions and the emotional stakes involved.
As I think about your video, I wonder how the relationship between the characters evolves throughout the narrative and how the unresolved questions about Baize Shephard’s disappearance impact their interactions. This aspect seems crucial to understanding the depth of the story you’re presenting.

Likes: The AI image of the shed looked very realistic and the other AI images were very symbolic.
Questions: Did the grandma kill the guy?
Best Part: The part where the grandma comes into the shed after seeing City and Lavander felt powerful along with the narration.
