The Goldbergs on the Radio: Ep. 1481

You is anybody? There's Molly, folks. That means your friends, the Goldbergs are here. Brought to you by Does the new kind of soap for everything in your wash. First, let's drop in on the DoM family. What do you know? Daisy Desham's written a play for her home economics class. And Maism has promised that young Dicki will play the leading part. Dicki is complaining. A I can't wear this silly costume in Daisy's play. Why not? You represent the spirit of wash day progress. Imagine standing in front of Daisy's class spouting. Can't you see? I am Does du z. I'm the soap that's new. I do everything for you. That's drippy ma. No, it isn't, Dicky. That's just Daisy's poetical way of saying does is a new kind of soap and it does everything from work shirts, towels to rayon slips. But ma Daisy says I got to wave this work shirt. Yeah. And recite, does gets work shirts clean as a breeze. There's no hard scrubbing. Does it with ease. That's cute, Dicky. And it's true. I don't even need a bar soap anymore because gets the grimiest work shirts clean all by itself. But ma Daisy says I should wear a towel around my head, then point to it and say, "Look how wondrous white is done by Doz." Now dear, Daisy simply means Doz is famous for whiteness. And she's right. I've never seen whiter washes. But Ma, Daisy wants me to wear one of her pink rayon slips. Great clips. Now, Dicky, that's only to show how safe do is for the colors you wash. You know, colors stay bright longer with Doz. Well, I'm not putting on any pink slip. Not even for Does. I'm wearing pants in this family and in the play, too. Well, Dicki, does is a real He-Man soap on wash day. Yes, ladies. Compared to other leading granulated wash day soaps, does gives longer life to colors, plus unsurpassed whiteness and real cleaning power for the tough dirt. Does does everything in your wash. And now the Goldbergs. Well, Rosie has done everything to prevent her sister-in-law, Grace, from getting her hands on any of the money she claims so desperately to need. Yes, even Grace's sudden illness and the fact that the doctor is upstairs hasn't shaken Rosie from her profound suspicion that Grace is a liar, a hypocrite, and a fraud who has some suspicious dealings with a neighbor named George. All this in spite of the fact that Grace is Sammy's wife. But while Rosie is stubbornly battling to see that Grace doesn't get away with anything, something is happening that might very well do away with Ros's power to fight. And she learns what it is today. Listen, Rosel, I'm so anxious. How anxious I am. I'm anxious to know what's with Grace. How long is mama going to be with doctor conversing? How long does it take to to to make a diagnosis? Don't worry, Uncle David. Grace isn't so sick. It's all an act. Rosie, please. Enough is enough. That's what I say. Yes, doctor. Yes, doctor. I want a paper and I want a pencil. What is it, Maliv? Huh? We have the prescription. I want it for instructions. The doctor wants a paper. Pencil for instructions, not a prescription. Where is the prescription? George is coming over to take the prescription. All right. Send him right away to the drugstore. I'll go. Molly, whoever. It's not serious. Huh? Molly, I can't talk now. Baby, I can't talk now. Dear, maybe it is serious. Rosalie, take the prescription. Rosalie, maybe it's serious. Mama didn't say it was serious. Don't go up, Uncle David. Once and for all. No for once. Rosalie knowing for once in foremost and and and forever more. Don't I don't want to hear another syllable. You took my check and tore it up. You know, papa is beside himself and and and mama's beside himself. And for all these years, you you were a child to mama and and a child to papa and and a good child and and and a marvelous child. Now when the chance comes and and to how many children does a chance come to show appreciation to their parents you all of a sudden suddenly what what tell me what is it Ros you think Grayson and George know each other yes so so tell me what and then if what you say is what then mama has to know and then papa has to know once and for all and all and for one I can't do that uncle David if you can't do the voice then you have to do bad. But you didn't have to give your last penny. I couldn't stand by and let you give your last penny to Grace when I know that the story she told mom is a lie. It has to be a lie. I have an intuition. An intuition? You you condemn a person? Uncle David. Grace said that her sister had stolen money from the bank that she worked in. And now Grace wants to help her pay it back. It's It's crazy. It's wrong. It isn't true. Right. That isn't true. Such thing happen. But everything just sounds wrong. I I don't believe her, Uncle David. I don't. J, don't bother. Don't bother. You're running up and down. You're running up and down. Molly, I can't talk. What is it? I have to make a little cereal. Jay, darling, you go upstairs. I should go up, Molly. Yeah, please. And I'll stir up everything. Go, dear. Please. Dr. Kater is sure. Huh? Go up, darling. David, how will we tell semihow? Go up, Jane. I'm good. I I mustn't know. Huh? Who said you mustn't? Wait, the double boiler. Where is the double boiler? The double boiler. has the double B. I got it. She's got it. Mama's got it. Cereal. Cereal. I got it. She's got it. Excuse me, David. Look out, kitty. Look out. And under my feet. Such a nuisance of a nuisance. Come on, kitty. Come on now. Come out and play in spring. Go out. Go out. Under my feet. And under my feet. What do you want me to do, ma? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Rosie, you did enough already. Plenty. You did. Papa told me what you did. Papa told me if you didn't want personally to help your brother's wife. Very well. But to stop dear Uncle David from helping Grace when you know what the help is for and taking Uncle David's check that he sent away so kindly for and tearing up the check. All right, Marley. I I'll get another check. I know you'll get another check, David. Thank you very much, David. Thank you very much. Oh, I'm sorry for you, Rosie. Very sorry. I'm sorry when your dear brother will find out. A big spoon. Somebody please. A spoon. I got it. She's got it. I got it. I'm only sorry when your dear brother will find out what you stirred up here. Olay. What you stirred up? Because he will find out. Something is boiling. M. I'm watching. I'm watching. I'm watching it. I'm watching it. I wouldn't care, David. I wouldn't care. I wouldn't be so poked. I wouldn't care if Grace was, what shall I say and how shall I say it? If Grace was a stranger, somebody that just walked in over my threshold from someplace somewhere somehow, but a sister, a sister-in-law. You see that, David? You see that? All right, Rosalie. All right, Rosalie. I'm sorry for you. O, how sorry I am to you. A little orange juice. I'm I'm making it, darling. I'm making it. I'm making it. In the ice box, David is standing. I'll get it. Never mind. Never mind, Rosie. Never mind. Never mind. You know your mama and you know your papa. Love finds a way. We'll help Grace. No matter what, we'll help Grace. Molly, I'll get another check. I I didn't want to help Molly. I know, David dear. I know. and Rosley. Uncle David, why should mom Why should mama think that you're selfish? It's not selfish, David. To be suspicious is just as bad as to be selfish. David, you think uh you think I don't understand why Rosal is acting as she's acting? Don't. Oh, how I do. Oh, how I do. A bowl, please. A bowl, please. Thank you. A bowl. I have it. Oi, how I understand your mom has eyes to see and ears to hear. Just because Grace's first letter to us and George's letter to Marsha came on the same day, the same date, from the same town, you already put four and four together and you got nine. The correct answer is eight. You got nine. Why? Because you read too many books. You see too many movies. Rosalie, remember your mother's voice. Someday I wouldn't be here to tell you. Remember my words. Judge the person, the character, the individual. When Grace came, did she want to tell us her troubles? Answer me. When I say individuals, sure. Yes or no? I want. Sure. Yes or no? Yes. No. Not yes. I mean, no. Didn't we have to force her? Answer me. Yes or no? Yes. Well, surely we had to force her. So, as long as she told us the troubles her sister was in, should we, as her family, my son's wife, the wife of my son's flesh and blood, should we wish to help her, can you count money in such a situation? Sure. Fall is eight. Not sure. Not nine. All right. You could help her, Rosalie. It was in your jurisdiction to help her. Very well. You refused. Very well. But Grace will get help. She will for me. She will. For me. She shall get out from me. I'm coming, darling. I'm coming. Oh, Rosley, will you be sorry? Will you be sorry? Shall I run with the prescription? Yes, David, please. I'm coming, darling. I'm coming. Oh, Rosley, you'll be sorry. And how do you be? Yes, four. Four and four is eight, Rosley, not nine. You put into your head. All right, Uncle David, please. I can't stand anymore, George. Uh, come in. The doctor's still here. She must be awfully sick. Judge, here here's the prescription. What the doctor say? What's the matter? The prescription here. Well, can I wait till the doctor comes down? I'd like to talk. Huh? I I mean, well, gee, you one day you see a person well and healthy and the next minute they're down sick. And if you worry about strangers so much, George, I I wonder how you'd feel if Grace was somebody you knew. Thank you, doctor. It's nothing serious, is it, doctor? Should I tell them, doctor? Certainly. Tell them. Let the whole world know. What is it? I'm going to be a grandma. And I'm going to be a grandp. Wow. If Rosie had a pin, she might have heard it drop. She could even hear her heart miss a beat and see George whirl off into giddy space. Because this is the one bit of news, the one fact that turns every other thing into mere nonsense. And yet we know that Grace and George did scheme and are scheming against the Goldbergs. You know, we all value friendship pretty highly, don't we? Take the way Daisy Dozen values the friendship of her pal Donald. Why? Daisy said, "I told Donald I couldn't get along without him any more than I could get along without does." Gosh, that's devotion. Oh, you bet, Daisy. And ladies, you'll be just as devoted to Does for dishes. This new kind of soap does everything in the wash and has everything for dishes, too. Does make 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. Notice how nice your hands feel after does your dishes. And watch how those suds stand up. No need to keep adding soap to finish the greasy pans. And does cuts grease without any hard scouring. Change to Does. It has everything for dishes. And here's a wartime request. Don't waste soap. Soap contains vitally needed war materials. Always put pots and pans to soak first in clear water. Make every bit of does you use do more. Be sure to listen to the next episode of the Goldbergs written for you by Gertude Berg. Rosie tries to discover what she really feels now. And it isn't easy when she knows that her brother's wife is going to have a child. This is Clayton Kia saying, "Do as the dozens do. Let does the new kind of soap do everything in your wash.
