"It is a tactical strike, Bill. A precision operation," Molly said, slapping a blueprint of a suburban living room onto the table. "It is a five-year-old's birthday party, Molly. Why do we have a blueprint?" "Because the layout of the snack table is critical to our extraction route. Now, look. Entry is through the sliding glass door. We slip in during the cake singing. That is when the adults are distracted by the sheer sonic horror of twenty children screaming in unison." "I don't like the uniforms," Bill muttered, gesturing to the neon-pink tutu and oversized sunglasses lying on the chair. "They are disguises! We are blending in as eccentric aunts from the coast." "I am a six-foot-four man with a beard, Molly. I cannot blend in as an eccentric aunt." "Put on the tutu, Bill. Do you want the LEGO Star Wars sets or not?" Bill sighed, picking up the tulle skirt. "I just feel like we are targeting a vulnerable demographic. These are toddlers." "They have an abundance of resources they cannot possibly utilize! Half of those toys will be abandoned by Tuesday. We are basically providing a recycling service." "And the plan for the presents? Just grab and run?" "Hardly. We use the 'Confusion Diversion.' I drop a bag of glitter in the center of the room, you scoop the gifts into the oversized laundry hamper, and we exit via the patio." "What if the parents catch us?" "I have a decoy. A recording of a child crying in the upstairs bathroom. The moment I hit play, every adult in the room will sprint toward the stairs in a panic. We will have a forty-five second window of absolute anarchy." "You've thought about the glitter cleanup?" "Bill, we are thieves, not janitors." "I'm just saying, glitter is forever. We'll be sneezing sparkles for a month. Also, why are we stealing the presents? We could just rob a bank. A small bank. One with a slow vault." "Banks are boring. Banks have lasers and silent alarms. You know what doesn't have lasers? A suburban bungalow in the suburbs of Ohio. Plus, the resale value on limited edition building blocks is skyrocketing." "I still think the tutu is a step too far." "It's a fashion statement, Bill. Now, practice your 'eccentric aunt' voice. Give me a 'Oh, look at the darling little cupcake!'" "Oh, look at the darling little cupcake," Bill droned, sounding like a depressed robot. "No passion! More whimsy! More 'I’ve spent too much time in Sedona' energy!" "I hate you so much," Bill said, stepping into the tutu. "You love the LEGOs. Now, let's go. We have to hit the craft store for more glitter."
