Mars is all, oh, spending that money just didnt feel right. Don't be a dick, Marshall, Simon probably bought food with some of that cash. It's easier to be sensible with your money if you're someone who's actually grown up having it.
Slow mo, hat-throwing, cool-walking Simon! And those girls at the World o' Stuff counter hitting on Simon is so creepy - they have got to be Syndi's age. It would be like being creeped on by your babysitter.
"Use Hammerin when you wanna say 'thank God I don't have a headache any more!'" is the best headache advert ever. Seriously, that needs to be a t-shirt.
Syndi, don't be weird and flirty with the Mayor. Combined with sixteen year olds in tight skirts getting all come-hither at a nine year old, I'm way too skeeved out right now.
Love how Sergeant Knight just locks Chisel up "on general principle", and how the Mayor just takes it in stride. Also, Sergeant Knight's "don't leave town, Mr. Teller" combined with a super creepy fake grin.
Oh goodie, more creepy teenage girls dressed.like Cyndi Lauper and rubbing up on a nine year old. Also, Simon's gold chain and unbuttoned shirt, oh my God.
Oh my God, when they don't even know Simon's name. Justin Shenkarow's FACE, my heart!
I'm really disturbed by the way Mister Wilson sort of checks out and starts monotonously chanting 99 Bottles of Beer when Simon gives him the money back.It really does read like someone undergoing a massive trauma and having a nervous breakdown as a result.
And Mayor Chisel gets community service, "just in case", and is still just totally chill about the whole thing.
The episode ends with Simon having a birthday party, but at the start of the episode he tells Mars he was lying about it being a birthday, only to later buy himself a "birthday" cake.
My take on this is that it really was his birthday, he mentioned it, realises Mars doesn't know when his birthday is, and pretends to have lied about it so his mate doesn't feel awkward about having forgotten. His mate that then immediately ditches him to hang out with two older kids.
There is something unbelievably heartbreaking about that; this poor kid is so used to making himself inconspicuous and not drawing attention that he erases his own birthday so that other people don't have to momentarily feel bad.
And then Simon calls bullshit on shitty friends and designer shoes. Shitty friends, definately. Designer shoes, I dunno... he's probably just more mature about shoes at 9 than I am at 31.
