"So we're stealing from children," Molly said. "We're stealing from children's *parents*," Bill said. "Big difference. Legally, morally, spiritually." "Explain the spiritual difference." "The presents haven't been opened. Ownership hasn't transferred. It's a gray area." "It's a bouncy castle and a piñata, Bill." "The piñata's full of candy, which we're also taking." "You've thought about this." "I've thought about nothing else since Tuesday. Now, the birthday boy is turning seven. Name's Dominic. Wealthy family, obscene gift table, magician arriving at two." "You're the magician." "I'm the magician." "You don't do magic." "I do one card trick and it fails eighty percent of the time." "And the other twenty?" "It fails differently." "Bill." "Children are easy. You wave a scarf, they scream. Meanwhile you're loading a duffel bag behind the trampoline." "And me? Where am I?" "Face painting." "I can't paint." "Nobody's ever been happy with a face painting. Give them all a lopsided butterfly and they'll cry, and while they're crying—" "—nobody's watching the gift table." "Molly, you're beautiful." "I'm going to hell." "We're going to hell in a car full of Lego, which is the only acceptable way." "Fine. But I want the piñata candy." "Negotiable." "Non-negotiable." "Fine."
