"Bill, check the time." "It's seven-fifteen, Mols. The cake is coming out now." "Good. That's when we strike. The parents will be distracted by the singing of Happy Birthday to Timmy." "Timmy? Not Timmy, Molly. We promised not to target Timmy. His mom has a dog." "Fine. The parents will be distracted by the clown who ate the rubber chicken. That's our window." "I've got the burlap sacks ready." "Disguise? You're wearing a Party Hat as your only disguise?" "It's camouflage, Bill! Everyone wears them. Look, I even have the googly eyes attached. I'm blending right in with the background decor." "You look like a rejected craft project from a third-grade gym class. Are the bags empty?" "Yes, though I had to use three of my good ones to line this vest. Do you know how hard it is to find quality cotton burlap in size Extra Large?" "Focus! Is the route clear?" "The path from the tree to the front door is guarded by nothing but a sticky play mat and a toddler named Gary who won't let go of my ankle." "Gary? Leave Gary alone. He's vulnerable. Just shake him off gently. We're professionals, not savages." "He bit me, Molly! And he called me a smelly man-child!" "Ouch. Emotional damage. Did you get the present?" "Not yet! But if you hadn't derailed the conversation with Gary updates, I would have snagged the PS5." "That wasn't an update, that was a distress signal! Besides, we're here for volume, not value. Grab everything. Lego sets, plastic dinosaurs, juice boxes, the good crayons." "The good crayons? You want to risk jail for a twelve-pack Crayola?" "Wax-based pigments appreciate in value on the black market, Bill! Don't question the hustle!" "What's the extraction strategy?" "We roll out in the gift cart. It's spacious, has wheels, and smells faintly of fruit punch." "The gift cart? Molly, that thing wobbles. You nearly dropped the Duke of Wellington in Prague because of a wobbly wheel." "That was one time! And it wasn't the wheel, it was the waiter. We'll use duct tape. Lots of it. I packed fifty feet of silver duct tape." "In a velvet pouch? Of course you did. Is the music synchronized?" "DJ Dave is on deck. At 7:42, he cues Baby Shark on maximum volume. That buys us forty-five seconds of auditory chaos." "Forty-five seconds? The kid's dad has reflexes like a cobra. Have you seen the way he catches falling ice cream cones?" "I accounted for the Dad. I laced his smoothie with chamomile tea." "Chamomile tea? That won't slow down a man fueled by parental rage." "It'll add a hint of herbal calmness to the cortisol spike. Trust me. Now, hand me the grappling hook." "We're bringing a grappling hook to a birthday party?" "For the tree branch above the loot pile. Standard procedure. You wouldn't understand aerial insertion tactics." "I understand we shouldn't be doing this! Remember the Great Gumball Caper? We lost four fingers and a social life!" "Four fingers? I still have five fingers, Bill! One is slightly numb and tastes like copper, but that's different. Hand me the hook. Gary, drop the pants leg, soldier!" "Sir, I am currently engaged in combat with the villain known as Aunt Linda!" "Linda has a purse strap! Focus, troops! On my mark, we grab the mountain of wrapping paper and haul ass through the petunia bed. Wait, why are the petunias moving?" "Those aren't petunias, Molly. Those are inflatable dolphins." "Inflatable dolphins?! That changes the surface tension entirely! Abort? No, commit! The dolphins will cushion the fall. Roll out!" "I hate you. I hate you so much." "Love you too, partner. Now, throw the first sack! And try not to scream when the glitter explodes!" "Wait, what's in the second sack?" "Don't ask. Just help me lift. It's heavy." "This isn't presents. This is... is this the piñata?" "It's the giant star-shaped piñata filled with candy corn and small plastic toys. Top tier contraband." "We can't carry both! The structural integrity of my lower back will fail!" "Use the pulley system!" "The pulley system is made of dental floss and hope!" "Then improvise! Think of the retirement fund, Bill! Think of the tropical island where we sell stolen Lego bricks to confused tourists!" "I don't think tourists buy stolen Lego bricks." "They do if you wear a lei and charge extra for the experience! Now move! Here comes the dad! He's blinking aggressively! He knows!" "I'm going in! Get the cart! Roll the cart, Molly!" "I'm trying! Gary, stop hugging the wheel! We are not taking the child hostage!" "He's riding shotgun! This counts as a co-conspirator clause! Forward march, and for the love of loot, watch out for the cupcake!"
