“Molly, tell me again why we’re robbing a children’s party.” “Because, Bill, nobody suspects two adults in paper hats.” “I suspect us, and I’m one of us.” “Relax. It’s elegant. Balloons, chaos, weak perimeter security.” “It’s a bouncy castle, not Fort Knox.” “Exactly. Their guard is down. Emotionally and architecturally.” “And we’re stealing presents from children.” “We’re liberating boxed goods from minors with no resale discipline.” “That is the grimmest sentence I’ve heard all week.” “Listen. You go in as the magician.” “I don’t do magic.” “You know three card tricks.” “I know one card trick, and it ends with me losing a card.” “Perfect. Low expectations are camouflage. I’ll be the face painter.” “You can’t paint faces.” “I can paint tigers badly. Children love tigers badly.” “What about the parents?” “Distractible. Give them coffee, mention school admissions, they’ll turn on each other.” “And when do we take the presents?” “During the cake. All eyes on sugar and open flame.” “What if the birthday child notices?” “We compliment the child’s crown, create a false sense of monarchy.” “That’s your plan? Flattery and sponge cake?” “Bill, every empire falls to flattery and sponge cake.” “I hate how convincing that sounds.” “Good. Now practice your magician voice.” “Abra-cadaver?” “No. Less felony, more whimsy.”
