- Alan Eppes: Hey listen, I want to ask you guy something. Um, it's her birthday coming up and I want to get her a gift. Something, I dunno. I just don't know what.
- Don Eppes: It's just a question of what you want to say.
- Alan Eppes: Well how about, happy birthday?
- Charlie Eppes: You know, two mathematicians from University College of London actually recently addressed this, this very same question.
- Alan Eppes: Mathematicians? English mathematicians?
- Charlie Eppes: They used game theory to analyze the best characteristics of a courtship gift.
- Don Eppes: Well, no offence Charlie, but it sounds like two math geeks who don't date much.
- Charlie Eppes: I do take offence.
