"Bill, you got the clown costume?" "Check, Molly. You sure this is gonna work?" "Of course! Who suspects clowns at a party?" "True, but why clowns? Why not magicians?" "Have you seen you pull a rabbit out of a hat? Disasters everywhere." "Fair point. Okay, so we just waltz in, do a few balloon animals, and swipe the goods?" "Exactly. You distract, I extract. Piece of cake." "But Molly, what if the kids recognize us?" "They won't. It's Jimmy's party, not some Hollywood premiere." "And the parents?" "Also busy. Cake cutting, phone scrolling. Trust me, we blend in." "Fine, but I've never made a balloon animal." "Not a problem. Here, twist the balloon like this. Instant dog." "Wow, that was easy. What if someone asks for a giraffe?" "Elongate the neck. It's just a dog with a really tall neck." "What about the squeaky shoes?" "Best part! They laugh, we lift." "And the presents are in the main room, right?" "Yup, next to the cake. Quick grab and go." "Suppose there's an emergency. What's plan B?" "Escape hatch under the ball pit. Didn't you read the layout?" "Right, right. Okay, last question. Why are we doing this again?" "Bill, you ever tried paying rent with just stolen candy?" "Point taken. Let's do this, then."
