It's a tad dramatic, isn't it, corpses in freezers? Who is this man? What's he got to do with anything that I'm talking about? I take it with that statement you are in denial of so-said relationship with this frozen Chinaman? Well, of course I'm in denial of it. I don't have relationships with dead, frozen Chinamen.
