Quote #10
"Sell him," he said. His smile was still in place, but there was no longer any humor in it. (5.11.13)
Rufus doesn't want any black men hanging around Dana and hitting on her. When Dana asks what he's going to do about it, Rufus replies that he'll sell whoever's doing it. He even makes good on this threat later on when he sells a slave named Sam who's been chatting with Dana. It all goes to show just how much Rufus thinks of these human beings as his personal property.
