“Molly, this is low even for us.” “Low? Bill, it’s a children’s party, not a monastery.” “Children have tiny lungs and loud opinions.” “Exactly. Chaos is cover. Balloons, cake, sugar hysteria. We stroll in dressed as magicians, bow twice, and vanish with the loot.” “Presents, Molly. They’re presents.” “Loot in bright paper.” “What if the kids notice?” “They’re six. Shake a puppet and they’ll accuse the dog.” “I hate puppets. Their smiles are legal threats.” “Focus. Front gate, one bored dad, one clown with nicotine sadness, and a bouncy castle listing like a doomed yacht.” “I don’t trust castles that wheeze.” “You don’t have to marry it. You distract the clown.” “With what?” “Cigarettes. Sympathy. A better clown philosophy.” “I haven’t got one.” “Make one up. Tell him honking is oppressive.” “And you?” “I slip to the gift table, load the sack, and exit through the garden.” “The garden has those plastic flamingos.” “Excellent. Witnesses nobody believes.” “This feels cursed.” “Bill, all jobs feel cursed until payday.” “What about the birthday child?” “Prime suspect once the cake goes missing.” “We’re not stealing cake.” “Don’t limit the horizon.” “If a seven-year-old bites me again, I’m retiring.” “Then wear thicker trousers and look whimsical.”
