Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the reserved spaces in the hotel parking lot (at 22:02) is for country singer, Glen Campbell.
- GoofsWhen Rockford and Audrey Wyatt (Linda Evans) pull up in the limousine at the beginning of the final act (shortly before the "strike"), as Rockford walks toward the rear of the car where he is confronted by Simon Lloyd (Paul Jenkins), a bank of three bright studio lights and someone (probably the director) sitting next to them is mirrored in the car's shiny finish.
- Quotes
Jim Rockford: [Rockford is asking Angel if he had any trouble at the resort] Nobody tried to interfere?
Angel: No, no, they didn't even believe that it was happening. You know what occurred to me? I mean when you get a crowd like that? It doesn't seem right not to work 'em.
Jim Rockford: [Disapprovingly] Angel...
Angel: No, no, now you were right about the oil rig, that's the thing. But the thing that really gets them excited though is the jackhammer, and the compressor, and the noise, and that racket, boy, it's the roar of the crowd and I got to thinking how you said I should have earplugs. I went down to the drug store and talked to the druggist and made the deal - 28 cents a pair - go back and sell them for a dollar seventy five - a dollar fifty! - easy.
Jim Rockford: [Aggravated] Forget it!
Angel: Jimmy, don't spit on it, man. If we don't do it some one else will. Think about it.
[He pulls Rocky over to his side]
Angel: Rocky could be the salesman, huh? He's got that good, honest face everybody likes. We get him a tray hanging around his neck...
Jim Rockford: Angel, if you try working a scam on the side, you go straight back to L.A.
Angel: A person's got a right to his own suggestions, don't he?
Jim Rockford: No!
