Description:
The Goldbergs: Episode 1510. Date: July 9, 1943. Cast: Gertrude Berg (Molly Goldberg); James R. Waters (Jake Goldberg); Roslyn Silber (Rosalie Goldberg); Alfred Ryder (Sammy Goldberg); Menasha Skulnik (Uncle David).
Announcer introduction: "The squeeze on Grace is getting tighter and tighter. Molly's daughter-in-law was able to weather Rosie's suspicions, because Molly was head over heels in love with her new daughter-in-law. But suddenly... as if someone had flashed a light in a dark room, Molly's perspective changed... She remembered the strange way in which Grace first arrived in Lastenbury... she remembered that her son hasn't been heard from... she began to see George in a new light and to doubt if Grace's reason for wanting Rosie's insurance money was really the truth... And now, Grace, alarmed by Molly's attitude doesn't know how to turn, and Molly, perturbed, suspicious, doesn't know how to proceed... Listen..."
Announcer close: "But Grace has more to hide than even Molly or we suspect... There is one deadly fact, one deadly revelation which will be more shocking than any of Grace's other tricks... more than her duplicity, her lies about her sister, her desire to get the money, her relationship to George..."

George I said call George and I loved you all so much all of you I thought I was with my own family first it was Rosie and and now you mother call George you succeeded in convincing your your mother Rosie pleas please first sit down why do we need George and you feel better I want to ask you a few questions and I want you to ask me anything and I want to answer and tell you everything you want to know who I am and where I'm from oh it's going to be very disappointing because there's nothing to it I'm not anybody important and it wasn't because my family and my friends were so much that Sammy married me he married me for myself and he said his family would love me for myself he said you just have to see me and I came here and I thought you all L me but now you want me to prove that you should love me the way a lawyer proves his case all right well I'm willing to do it I don't care if that's what you want but I know I'm not in this family I'm just being tolerated here just permitted to stay because in your mind Sammy had The Misfortune to marry someone like me no one sympathizes any longer no one cares I'm having a child and that's just one more burden being brought on this house by a stranger Seymour told you he wanted he saw me with George looking at timetables but I wanted to spare you I didn't want you to know how will I've been Grace please I'm M I'm sorry for you Rosie cuz you're the kind of a person that always bring unhappiness to herself and everyone else you're young and you don't know the way I do how much getting on in the world and how much being happy depends on having faith in people it was you who created this whole story about George and myself was something you wanted something to add a little spice to your life here and the fact that it's broken mother's faith in me the fact that I have nothing to write to Sammy except bad news that doesn't matter to you you dramatized yourself and had a wonderful time and now we have to pick up the pieces and make some kind of a life out of it David yes it's here watch here what it's here it is it is from the Red Cross it's for me no it's for me Grace you see why please give me that letter it's mine you're all plotting against me you're all trying to break up my marriage you want me to separate from my husband give me that letter it's mine I you give it to me it's mine Rosie give it to Grace but M give it to Grace well I didn't read it yet give it to Grace if Grace has nothing to hide she'll show it to us but Grace has more to hide than even Molly or we suspect there is one deadly Fact one deadly Revelation which will be more shocking than any of Grace's other tricks more than her duplicity her lies about her sister her desire to get the money or her relationship to George you know I've always figured good things are worth waiting for of course sometimes the waiting seems pretty long like that flutter head cousin doam said you know I waited a long time time for a soap like doz for dishes now all I'm waiting for is a husband well cousin maybe doz can help you does does everything in the wash that is and it has everything for dishes too this new kind of soap makes Suds that stand up till the last dish is done Cuts grease like 60 yet it's kinder to hands than any other leading granulated wash day soap why you ought to see how those doz Suds stand up you don't have to keep adding soap and doz cuts even tough grease in less than half a minute yet it leaves your hands soft and smooth yes does has everything for dishes try it won't you and when you does your dishes remember all soaps contain vitally needed War materials so don't waste does always scrape dishes thoroughly before washing see to what every bit of do you use does more be sure to listen to the next episode of The Goldbergs written for you by gertrud bird Molly makes up her mind and Grace with a bold gesture unmakes it this is Clayton ker speaking and reminding you to do as the Dooms do let does
