Description:
The Goldbergs: Episode 1474. Date: May 20, 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: "Rosie Goldberg has been struggling to maintain her decision in the face of the strongest kind of pressure... the bad opinion that her mother and father have come to have of her. On the surface Rosie's actions in refusing to release her college money to help Sammy's wife... seems arbitrary and cruel... Molly and Jake simply cannot fathom Rosie's actions. But we can... and we know that Rosie is right... Grace is a liar, out to get the money. The story she invented is a lie... and Rosie suspects it... but suspicions aren't proofs... and so Rosie, horrified by the mistrust she has of the girl her brother married... is taking the full burden on herself... and it isn't an easy one... not now... now that Jake is trying to borrow the money from his old partner... Listen..."
Announcer close: "Grace has certainly flung an apple of discord into the Goldbergs house... but if Rosie stands firm, Grace isn't going to get the money as easily as she expected... and that means her whole, vicious plan will be ruined. But the pressure on Rosie is very great... greater perhaps than the suspicions that she has of the girl who married her brother..."

money the story she invented is a lie and Rosie suspects it but suspicions aren't proofs and so Rosie horrified by the mistrust she has of the girl her brother married is taking the full burden on herself and it isn't an easy one not now now that Jake is trying to borrow the money from his old partner listen rosaly this is the letter papa is mailing to Mr mle to ask him to lend him the money unless you change your mind I'm not changing my mind Mish make up your mind your daughter is not you papa please gentleness and the kindness that you possess in one little corner of your Anatomy your daughter wouldn't have if she was tce Jake don't Jake me Marly Papa darling I'm not your darling Rosie that's over you have revealed yourself in your true colors I know you now for what you are you're selfish unfeeling unkind ungenerous inconsiderate you're everything your mother is not I said it Molly see that that letter is mail to mle that's all Ros Rosal you're nothing selfish you're not greedy you're not ungenerous maybe I am maybe I am you're not M you you're not who knows you better than I know you tell me brly tell me separately and privately tell me why won't you sign the policy so we can get the cash to help Grace if it was to help somebody else you would do it I feel it's because because it's for my education M that's what you save the money for not for Grace or Grace's sister and if Grace's sister is a thief then she doesn't deserve to have your honest hard earned money it's for Grace not Grace's sister it's to give Grace a little peace of mind to help her not her sister certainly a thief should be punished but look what it'll mean grace will never be happy if anything happens to her sister and if Grace isn't happy your brother Sam wouldn't be happy you darling Rosy Rosy mommy you have the happiness of so many people in your hands how can the money or the education that money will buy for you compare to the happiness and joy you can give to Grace your brother's wife Ros you remember how you and S were babies together it's your brother Rosal your only brother where he is now under Waters Ros I'm asking you Rosie all right the answer is no huh very so mailed the letter Papa wrote to Mr mle I'm sure mle will do what he can do to help us he helped him and we could he'll recollect it maybe he'll help us don't send it Ma please don't get into debt she isn't worth it Ma I I don't like her you know I don't like her right I I don't trust her I think Sammy made the biggest mistake of his life when he married her and maybe it's better if he never came back than you slack me m r didn't hurt M don't cry M Rosie what happened Rosie the letter is waiting to be mailed your father has spoken what letter here you read it my father's borrowing money to help you get some peace of mind just because your sister is a thief as no reason why you should make my father get into dead my sister isn't a thief Rosie she was tempted and she didn't realize what she was doing did you realize what you're doing don't you you came here out of nowhere we don't even know who you are all we know is that Sammy married you before he left and you were the one who told us that you came to our house and you live here and now you're making my father get into dead for you haai and what do you want why did you come here I didn't want your mother or father to know about my sister I know they aren't rich and can't afford to help me I didn't ask them to help me well then why did you tell them that you needed money I tried not to tell them why are you tearing the letter you don't think I'd let your father borrow money to help me do you I wasn't consulted on this and I'd never accept the money I'm Samy's wife oh I can understand you're not liking me I'm just somebody from nowhere suddenly walking in on you you always worshiped your brother he told me all about you you'd resent anyone he married anyone at all that's why you resent me it's not me you dislike is it not me it's it's just the idea that your brother married someone without insulting you it's the Shar tell me tell me what you don't like about me tell me about me in particular all right well then tell me what have you is the letter being mailed or not there is no letter to be mailed you're the pieces you told it you decided to sign sign what my policy said that you can have the money for your sister your policy why not I don't understand is that why you're so angry with me Rosie because of the policy but I thought you were going to use that to go to college what it was for before you told my father about your sister stealing money Rosie well it was stealing legally but what has my sister got to do with Rosie's education nothing only I'm supposed to give you the money and wait for some time in the future for an education I wouldn't accept that money I tore up the letter dad not Rosie I read it and I tore it up I'm not going to let you get into debt to help me and I'm not going to let you take all your hard-earned money all the nickels and pennies you saved over years for Rosie's education and give it to me either I'm new in this family I'm Samy's wife but that doesn't mean you have to adopt all my troubles those troubles are mine not yours and if Sammy were here well they might be Samy's troubles exactly but they'd be Sam's and mine in Sam's absence not yours I in his place oh yes you do dad but not the way he would I don't have any money to help my sister and as much as I want to help her as much as i' do anything in the world to help her my hands are tied mine are not and if Rosie would no it's not fair to Rosie if she wants to go to Randall college instead of to normal school why she should go that's what you saved the money for it's Rosie's future and her future has nothing to do with my sisters my sister was weak and well she'll have to pay for it my sister's future will have to be well you know what it'll be and I I feel it's some things like Sam's going away overseas my sister's future when they make her pay for being weak enough to take a few thous that didn't belong to her well there is some Futures that can't be helped I know Sammy can be killed fighting and I know that in the same way my sister's life can be broken and ruined because of a silly mistake she made and I can't help either of them I can't well Ros I see now who my daughter is and it isn't you well Grace has certainly flung an apple of discord into the Goldberg house but if Rosie stands firm Grace isn't going to get the money as easily as she expected and that means her whole vicious plan will be ruined but the pressure on Rosie is very great greater perhaps than the suspicions that she has of the girl who married her brother you know a listener writes that she looks forward to hearing the Goldbergs every day she says they seem like friends of mine and she adds I often chuckle over uny doesm too too yes Hy and his inventions why yesterday he said I'm fixing it so
