Molly and Bill sat in a beat-up car outside a community center, watching kids in colorful party clothes run around. The sound of laughter and popping balloons filled the air. Molly: "You sure this is the right place? It looks like a Chuck E. Cheese threw up in here." Bill: "Yeah, yeah, this is the one. Ronny the Rat gave me the deets. Big spread—kids’ party, lots of presents and not a lot of watchful eyes." Molly: "Not a lot of watchful eyes except for about twenty sugar-crazed children and their mothers who could spot a burglar from across a crowded mall." Bill: "We’ll be fine. We’re not burglars, we’re... um... party crashers." Molly: "Party crashers who are gonna steal all the presents. That’s not even a thing. Party crashers go for the cake." Bill: "Details, details. The point is, we blend in. We’ll put on some clown makeup or something." Molly: "Clown makeup? Bill, the last time you wore makeup, you looked like a deranged raccoon. And not the cute kind." Bill: "Hey, I’ll have you know that raccoon look is back in style. Anyway, we’ll just say we’re part of the entertainment." Molly: "Entertainment? You can’t even juggle three tennis balls without dropping them on your toes." Bill: "I could juggle. If I wanted to. But I don’t. So sue me." Molly: "We need a better plan. This is a kids’ party, not Fort Knox. There’s gotta be, like, a back door we can slip into when no one’s looking." Bill: "I already scoped it out. There’s a side exit near the kitchen, but it’s got one of those push-bar doors. Silent alarm if it opens too fast." Molly: "So we bypass the alarm. Easy. We just... I don’t know, wedge something in there so it doesn’t sound?" Bill: "We could use a credit card wrapped in duct tape to hold it down. But we gotta time it right—not too early, not too late. We don’t want some janitor walking in on us." Molly: "Perfect. So we scope the exit, wait for the big cake moment—when all the parents are distracted—and then we make our move." Bill: "But how do we grab all the presents? They’re probably in a separate room or something." Molly: "Not necessarily. Sometimes they leave them out. All we gotta do is stuff ‘em in big black garbage bags and walk out like we own the place." Bill: "Garbage bags? That’s your plan? We’re gonna look like we’re taking out the trash." Molly: "Exactly! And no one questions the trash. Plus, we can say we’re helping clean up if anyone asks." Bill: "Huh. Not bad. Not bad at all." Molly: "Yeah, well, don’t get too impressed. We still gotta get past the parents. And the kids. And the fact that neither of us knows how to act like we belong at a kids’ party." Bill: "We’ll just say we’re the kids’ long-lost uncles. Everyone loves an uncle." Molly: "Yeah, except we don’t look anything alike. And we’re about as charming as a tax audit." Bill: "Fine, we’ll be the party planners. We’ll say we’re here to help clean up." Molly: "After the party’s over? That’s suspicious. ‘Oh, we’re not here for the party, we’re just here to steal all your gifts and the cake, but in the cleanup crew way.’" Bill: "You’re killin’ me, Mol. Just... imagine it. We walk in, all confident, grab the presents, walk out. Boom. Job done." Molly: "And if we get caught? What’s the backup plan?" Bill: "Backup plan? We don’t need a backup plan. We’re professionals." Molly: "Professionals who are planning to rob a kindergarten party." Bill: "Hey, it’s a living. People always say ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained.’" Molly: "Or ‘crime doesn’t pay.’ Which I believe is the more accurate quote in this situation." Bill: "You’re just nervous. Once we’re in and out, you’ll see. It’ll be easy money." Molly: "Famous last words. ‘It’ll be easy money.’" Bill: "Exactly! So you in?" Molly: "Do I have a choice? You’re the one with the car keys." Bill: "Damn right you don’t. Suit up. Tonight’s the night." Molly: "Great. Can’t wait to explain to the cops why we were running from a party with garbage bags full of My Little Ponies and iPads." Bill: "Stop being so negative. It’s gonna be great." Molly: "Famous last words."
