edit » - Farrah Fawcett told People Magazine, "Our characters were the same in every show and we were never able to change that," she says. "Once I went to Aaron and Len and asked them to explore the possibilities of these girls as friends on a deeper level. They said, "We have a show. It works. We're not changing it." There reasoning: the fantasy element of Angels had much to do with its Top Ten status, so why tamper with success?
edit » - This episode is the one of the few in the series to offer a brief glimpse at the angels' personal lives: Jill coaches a girl's basketball team; Kelly was raised at an orphanage and has a boyfriend; Sabrina dates her ex-husband.

- Bosley: You didn't really think I was foolish enough to let you know Charlie's address? (Jill grabs a seltzer water canister off the bar and she and Sabrina go over to Bosley's desk) I mean when I pointed out to him that...
Kelly: You.
Bosley: Of course?
Jill: Bosley!
Bosley: Oh, no. No, no. (Jill squirts him with the seltzer water and the Angels giggle)
Bosley: (after Jill releases the nozzle) Unfunny. (Jill sprays Bosley again with the water)
Now that was funny. (Jill sprays Bosley a third time with the water and they all laugh) edit » - (running up to Jill, who just sat down on the bench.)
Cab Driver: Hi.
Jill: Hi.
Cab Driver: You've got a long wait, you know. You just missed one.
Jill: Oh.
Cab Driver: Can you use a cab?
Jill: Oh, I sure could, but I don't have enough money.
Cab Driver: Well, I think we might be able to work something out. We don't have to put it on the meter.
Jill: Oh. I tell you what. (reaching into her pocket as Kelly comes running up and gets into the cab's front seat.) Why don't you call the number on this card tomorrow and just ask for Bosley.
Cab Driver: Why?
Jill: He'll reimburse you for your cab.
Cab Driver: What? (cab horn honks and Kelly drivers up and Jill jumps into it) edit » - Sabrina: Well, I know what I'd do. After sitting in prison for all those years, I'd want to see my victim die.
Jill: That's terrific. Remind me never to get you mad at me. edit » - Kelly: (sitting at the bar in Charlie's basement) Do you ever get serious?
Jill: When I'm getting shot at? Never. edit » - Jill: Could you take it a little easier? (referring to Bosley's driving)
Bosley: Just a little precaution. You don't want him to kill you, do you?
Jill: (looking at Kelly who is laying down beside her in the back seat) With you driving he won't have to. edit »
