Kissing her

on the mouth?

What are you

doing that for?

Why, it makes

a man feel good.

She likes it, too,

don't you, pretty wench?

Yes, master.

You don't like

what charles is doing?

No, master.

I don't like it,

neither.

Damn, it makes me sick.

Why are you looking

odd-like at me?

Sneaky-like?

What for?

You tell me now,

no fibbing.

You tell me,

is it my leg?

No, master.

J-just you strange

for a white man.

How do you mean strange?

Caring what a white man

do to a wench.

Can you help me off

with these boots?

Yes, sir.

What happened to

your leg, master?

No one's ever asked that

straight out honest.

You know, they're always

pretending they don't see.

Ha.

I do walk bad.

I thinks you walks

just fine, master.

Raise your head.

Raise your head.

Now you're looking

away from me.

I can't see you.

Put your eyes on me.

Look at me straight

into my eyes.

I can't, master.

I craves you

to do it, ellen.

N*ggers don't-

Don't what?

Look a white man

in the eyes?

If you're

told to do it...

If asked to do it,

You can do it.

Ellen?

Don't you be afeard.

If you don't like me,

you don't have to stay.

I like you, sir.

I want to please you.

Here we have

a capital woman

and her three children.

All in good health.

What will

you say for them?

Give me an offer.

I'll put the whole lot

up for $850.

$850. 850.

900!

$900!

They ain't worth it.

Come on, let's

get out of here.

610 to the gentleman

in green. Do I hear 615?

Look at this lovely

wench, gentlemen.

I got a mandingo.

Pure-bred mandingo.

I want to see.

This is what I

was looking for, ja.

Ooh!

Playful as a kitten,

Strong as

a bull elephant.

Good lord, ma'am.

I don't buy the pig

in the poke.

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

She carry on

like a man.

Is she buys him,

He's going to find

out tonight she

ain't no man.

Hey, you mean that

lady will pleasure

with that n*gger?

That's a german widow,

And german ladies can never

pleasure without them.

How much?

3,500.

I give you 3,000.

I'll pay the price

you're asking.

You're no gentleman,

Trying to take the n*gger

from the poor widow woman.

If you should crave

the make of him, ma'am.

I ain't letting you

get him.

4,000.

I'll pay more,

500 more.

Schweinhund!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Done! You

got a good boy.

Trustworthy,

obedient,

whip smart.

I sure hate

to sell him.

What do you call him?

Mede, or galamede.

I'll come fetch him

in two, three days.

Hey, I got me

a fighting n*gger!

Never been beaten up.

The mandingo my papa's

craved all his life.

Yes, sir, ain't

he something. Hee hee.

Mede, huh?

Mede. That's

a good name, mede.

Mede, huh?

Damn.

Beatrix, my dear,
