Grant has an interesting and unexpected reaction to Jefferson’s nasty comments, implying bad things about

When Grant goes to Jefferson's cell he's extremely uncomfortable and doesn't know what to say......... so he asks him if he's hungry. Jefferson looks right at him and asks if he's brought any corn, that hogs eat corn. Grant has no idea how to act so he gives the bag of food to Jefferson who kneels down and eats it out of the bag like a hog. .
