I'll distract the birthday boy with a fake magic trick." "The kid's five. He believes in dinosaurs. Show him a chicken." "That's cruel. I love it. What about the parents?" "Three dads by the grill, two moms doing cake logistics, one grandma with a taser." "Grandma's the wildcard. We wait until pinata." "Pinata is when they all face one direction. We load gifts into the bouncy castle and bounce them out." "The bouncy castle has a net." "Then we call it a gift tornado." "Security?" "A rental cop named Kevin who's allergic to gluten and conflict." "Perfect. In and out before cake." "What about the birthday kid?" "We leave one gift. A book. Morally complicated." Bill grinned. "That's why I love working with you." "Don't say love. We're professionals." "Fine. Bring the clown shoes." "I'm wearing them. They squeak." "That's the worst part." "No, the worst part is the pony." "There's a pony?" "There's always a pony. And a magician who saw our faces." "So we steal the magician's hat too." "Obviously, Bill."
