You think that if you want
Explanation:
意思基本上是像Sheldon说的,但怎样把它表达出来?

2: Did she bring any presents back?
1: Don't think so, nothing to bring, the world is basically all the same now, isn't it?
2: Rubbish
1: Whatever!

I think "whatever" is a pretty good fit here. Other options:

You can say that if you want
Fine, whatever you want
Say what you like
