[Trinity]

<<Whoever said Trinity is steady?>>

First thing Mrs. Collingwood does is to present Trinity with a sales contract and tells him to sign it and to pay her for Sherlene.  Trinity starts to object and explain to her about Delmonico.  Sherlene begins to cry.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Ms. Collingwood grabs a rolling pin, that Delmonico left as a wedding present, whacks Trinity on tha knot then she goes through his pockets finding nothing but lint  So she has Sherlene pay her the fee and before she leaves she puts a pen in Trinity's hand dips the end in an ink pot and holding Trinity's hand makes his mark on tha contract.

[Trinity]

Trinity comes to and see's the contract with his mark and looks up to see a smiling Sherlene.  Trinity passes out again.

Sherlene fetches a jug from out by still #3, pours just a dab into a glass and puts it to Trinity's lips,   Trinity suddlenly comes to and remembers, 

he now lives right beside his fav o rite still.

he takes a big swig out of the jug, lays back on the floor and thinks to hisself..

Life is Good.

[Delmonico]

Sherlene suddenly says, "go get the doctor Trinity, I think it's time."

[Ozark Tracker]

Trinity chokes on the drink halfway down his throat,  Sherlene slaps him hard on the back 2 or 3 times and clears the brew outa his throat.  he jumps up and runs fer the door but being sober for the first time in weeks,  runs directly into it.

[Delmonico]

But Delmonico had a hunch any way, so he is drivin' up with the doctor in the buggy.

[Trinity]

Trinity gets up, shouts "It'ain' mahn!"  and continues running.  He finally stops at the saloon in Dunning.  Trinity has never run fifteen feet in one stretch, so it is understandable how tired he is now.  He orders a drink and takes it to a table where he downs it and falls asleep.

[Ozark Tracker]

although his eyes are full of dust, from the run up to the saloon,  Trinity swears he saw this fly over him on the road.

[Trinity]

Trinity shouts in his sleep causing everyone in the saloon to look over at him.  "T'ain' mahn, T'ain' mahn!!!!!!!!"

[Ozark Tracker]

as Trinity sleeps his dreams fill with kids, kids and more kids, 

[Trinity]

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggghh!"  Trinity is jolted awake, screams and runs out of the saloon.  The other patrons stare after him making twirling signs around their ears with their fingers.

[Delmonico]

Meanwhile back at the ranch, a pair of twins, boy and girl andthat look just like Trinity are drinkin' milk out of little stone jugs with nipples on them.

[Delmonico]

T'ain' mahn, T'ain' mahn!!!!!!!!"  Trinity is still hollorin' when he gets back to the ranch and his cottage.  Sherlene starts to cry and Duke shows up, he sniffs the babies, he sniffs Trinity and looks at Trinity with those sad, sad lookin' eyes that them labs have, the kind you can't refuse, the kind you'd give your last crumb of bread to, the kind that would convince you to admit they are yours.  

"Sides that, the rest of the dogs show up, sniff the babies and sniff Trinity and look at him with those sad eyes.  Delmonico says, "Well the series of lab tests show they are yours."

[Trinity]

"Awl raght, Ah'll touch'em, but Ah steel ain' AD-mitten to nothin'!"  Trinity picks the boy up and he begins to cry.  Quickly he lays the baby back down and runs from the house.

[Ozark Tracker]

Sherlene's mother and her 3 sister's come for a week long visit to see the new babies and meet the new son-in-law.  Sherlene has the house all cleaned up and Trinity all dusted off when she arrives.

[Trinity]

Trinity shudders at all the cackling and goes outside to work on his recipe.

[Ozark Tracker]

turns out one of Sherlene's aunt's is a real drinker, but has been sober for 25 years, so when she comes in lit, all the others look over at Trinity for an answer to their question,  where did she get that liquor.

see'n as they are all followers of Carry Nations and the movement to get rid of all liquor.

[Delmonico]

His mother-in'laws name is Carry Nation and she has her hatchet.

[Trinity]

Carrie's drunken sister, Ruby Sue, and Trinity overtake Carrie and stuff her in a burlap sack.  Then they put her on a small skiff and send her down the river.  They return to the house by way of the still where Trinity grabs a few jugs of his new recipe for the little ones and for the rest of the visitors. 

Soon, everyone is lighthearted and the babies are asleep.
