Two days | Two days ago, on a Wednesday, [[Binky Barnes|Binky]] walks down the school hallway and sees Arthur with a bowl full of quarters. Arthur explains that he is trying to save quarters as a fundraiser to buy a puppy for the fire department. Binky thinks if he should give a quarter or not. He eventually decides to give one. | ||
Just after Arthur adds it to his fund, Buster arrives (wearing his detective outfit) and asks Arthur if he wants to go to the arcade with his [[Bitzi Baxter|mom]]. Arthur agrees, but has Buster wait, for he has to give the quarters to [[Mrs. MacGrady]]. Arthur notices the outfit and Buster explains that it's part of his new detective kit. | Just after Arthur adds it to his fund, Buster arrives (wearing his detective outfit) and asks Arthur if he wants to go to the arcade with his [[Bitzi Baxter|mom]].

===Cultural references=== | |||
*At school, Buster refers to Arthur as the pinball wizard. This is a reference from The Who's song, "Pinball Wizard", and the 1975 movie, ''Tommy''. | |||
*Arthur diving into the pile of quarters in Buster's fantasy is very similar to Scrooge McDuck's iconic money dive from the Disney animated series ''Ducktales''. | |||
===Episode connections=== | |||
*George mentions Buster solving the missing quarters case later in "[[The Buster Report]]". | |||
*Buster plays detective in episodes later on in the series, including "[[Binky Rules]]", "[[Dueling Detectives!]]" and "[[Cereal]]". | |||
===Storyline analysis=== | |||
*Buster dresses up as a detective again in "[[Binky Rules (episode)|Binky Rules]]", yet he acts much more odd than he does in this episode. | |||
