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.
