"A children's party?" Molly said. "Bill, we've robbed banks." "Banks don't have a bounce house," Bill replied. "Cover of chaos. Sixty screaming kids, nobody's watching the gift table." "Nobody except sixty screaming kids." "Kids can't pick us out of a lineup. They can barely identify their own parents. Little Timmy once hugged a stranger's leg for twenty minutes." "Fine. What's the plan?" "We go in as clowns." "Absolutely not." "Magicians?" "Worse." "Molly, we need costumes. Two adults at a seven-year-old's birthday without a kid? Suspicious." "We'll say we're the entertainment." "We ARE the entertainment if you wear the clown nose." "Bill. Focus. Presents. In, out, ten minutes." "Right. So I create a distraction, you sweep the table into the bouncy castle—" "Why the bouncy castle?" "Nobody looks in a bouncy castle. It's a law of physics." "That's not a law of anything." "Then I'll create a distraction, you bag the gifts, we walk out waving goodbye like beloved entertainers." "And the distraction is?" Bill grinned. "I let all the balloons go at once." "That's just mean." "It's a heist, Molly. There are casualties." "One question. What if there's a gift we want to keep?" "Molly, we are professionals." "It's a Lego pirate ship, Bill." "...We'll discuss it in the van."
