"Why would I be? Today, I'll show you a true immortal technique!"

"Mr. Sullen, there are many people here, so I'm afraid that it's a tad inappropriate for you to be removing my daughter's clothes in front of everyone."

"You misunderstand, Albert Emerson. I'm only going to absorb the frosty energy in your daughter's body, so no removal of clothes is necessary."
