What happens

Vic and Sade Cook sit in their living room after dinner, and Vic is pleasantly sleepy while Sade grows irritated with his mail from the lodge. A catalog offering a policeman's outfit, a Billy Club, star and handcuffs sparks an argument, and Sade mocks the price and the lodge's founder, R.J. Cook. Their talk drifts through rambling anecdotes about teeth, a head-banging theory and a tattooed man named Sam Fleet, whose back is printed with personal details. The episode is part of the Vic and Sade series, and the transcript gives no air date, network or actors' names beyond the listed lead actors, Bernardine Flynn and Bill Idelson.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
