Question

If it gets cold enough
Hello, could you help me understand the joke in the piece of dialogue below? What does "if it gets cold enough." mean here? Thank you.

Melissa: You really love animals, don't you?
Ace: If it gets cold enough. No, I have a kinship with them.

Answer

maybe Ace means that he/she needs the clothes which is made by animal's fur？

Answer

It's actually a bit of cynicism. Ace isn't actually so fond of animals. Only if it's very cold he would go near animals, only for warmth.

Answer

I don't see a joke here. Maybe a little more context would help.
