Who: Sanger Rainsford in "The Most Dangerous Game"

Why: He's responding to Whitney. The two avid hunters are having a conversation about the nature of their sport, which Whitney says the animals don't enjoy but Rainsford insists is just a fun pastime. In referring to "hunters and huntees," Rainsford is clearly referring to humans and animals, but his words throughout the short conversation later gain a dark significance and return to haunt him as the story progresses.
