“Seriously, Bill? A five-year-old’s birthday party? You’re pulling me into a glitter bomb of parental anxiety and sugar-fueled tantrums for…what, exactly?” “Don't be a drama queen, Molly. It’s not ‘glitter bomb of parental anxiety.’ It’s opportunity. Pure, unadulterated, brightly-colored opportunity. Think about it – mountains of untouched, brand-new toys, all ripe for the taking.” “Ripe for the taking? We’re talking about twenty-three kids, a bouncy castle, and a clown who probably wears a permanent five o’clock shadow. My definition of ‘opportunity’ involves a discreet museum and a moderately valuable Ming vase, not a sugar-fueled frenzy.” “Okay, okay, the clown was a low blow. But seriously, the target. Mrs. Henderson. She’s obsessed with plush penguins. Remember last year? The entire living room was a pastel-pink penguin infestation.” “I remember screaming internally for three days. And I remember you suggesting we ‘acquire’ a penguin for ‘research.’ That doesn’t exactly scream ‘professional operation,’ Bill.” “That was a hypothetical! This is real! And we’re getting penguins. Lots of penguins. Look, I’ve mapped it out. Back gate, unlocked, courtesy of a surprisingly lax lifeguard. We slip in through the hedges, avoid the bouncy castle – tricky, I admit – and have approximately forty-five minutes before little Timmy starts demanding cake.” “Forty-five minutes to sift through a tidal wave of Lego, plastic dinosaurs, and glow-in-the-dark stickers? You’ve clearly never met a five-year-old’s birthday party. It's a chaotic, miniature disaster.” “That’s the beauty of it! Chaos is our friend. Think of it like a really, really elaborate scavenger hunt. We grab the penguins, the stuffed animals, anything remotely valuable. And a lifetime supply of gummy bears. Don’t forget the gummy bears.” “Gummy bears? You're prioritizing gummy bears?” “Strategic sustenance, Molly! We need fuel for the escape. Besides, little Timmy melts for gummy bears. Distraction potential is high.” “You’re terrifyingly prepared for this, you know that?” “Preparedness is key to a successful heist. Now, about the disguises… I was thinking miniature fireman outfits. They’ll never suspect a thing.” “Fireman outfits? Bill, we're stealing presents, not fighting fires.” “Adds to the cover! Look, just trust me on this. And bring your grappling hook. Those hedges are thicker than you think.” “Fine. But if I end up covered in frosting and surrounded by screaming children, you're buying me a very large, very strong drink.” “Deal. Now, let's finalize the penguin acquisition strategy...”
