Let's say I go out and I spend $50 on you . It's a laborious activity because I have to imagine what you need, whereas you know what you need . Now, I could simplify things-- just give you the $50 directly, and then you could give me $50 on my birthday, and so on, until one of us dies, leaving the other one old and $50 richer . And I ask you, is it worth it?

That's not the secret knock . This is the secret knock: What difference does it make? The whole point of a secret knock is to establish a non - verbal signal to verify the identity of one's co - conspirators. Is that Raj and Howard? Possibly, but unverified. Will you just let us in. Luckily for you, this is not a nuclear reactor. So, what'd you get the birthday boy? Well, raj got him an awesome, limited edition dark knight sculpture based on alex ross's definitive batman . And I got him this amazing autographed copy of the feynman lectures on physics. Nice . I got him a sweater. Okay, well, he might like that, I ’ve seen him … chilly. Sheldon, I didn't see your present. That's because I didn't bring one. Well why not? Don't ask. The entire institution of gift - giving makes no sense. Too late. Let's say I go out and I spend $50 on you . It's a laborious activity because I have to imagine what you need, whereas you know what you need . Now, I could simplify things-- just give you the $50 directly, and then you could give me $50 on my birthday, and so on, until one of us dies, leaving the other one old and $50 richer . And I ask you, is it worth it? Told you not to ask. Well, Sheldon, you're his friend . Friends give each other presents. I accept your premise, I reject your conclusion. Try telling him it's a non - optional social convention. What? Just do it . It's a non - optional...social convention. It's a non - optional social convention. Ah, fair enough. He came with a manual. Question-- how am I going to get leonard a present before the party? I don't drive and the only things available within walking distaenc are a thai restaurant and a gas station . I suppose I could wrap up an order of mee krob and a coup e of ttery scratchers. Okay let's do this-- I will drive sheldon to get a present . And howard, you need to get rid of leonard for about two hours . No problem. No problem. And then, Raj, you bring the stuff across the hall and start setting up. What if guests show up? Entertain them. What if they're women? Stare at them and make them feel uncomfortable.
