day that you introduced me to the fact that we come from the same town doesn't mean anything it wasn't a small place like last and Barry as a matter of fact I just happen to be working in the town along with thousands of other I'm not talking about that i'm only saying it's just it Rosie what are you saying I mean it seriously this isn't funny anymore this isn't just being naively jealous of me because I married your brother what are you saying because if it's anything important I think your mother and father should know oh why is George so concerned oh that's crazier than ever you think there's something wrong because I'm well I'm soft hearted because I'm sentimental see that's a brand new one I come to a strange town I go to work I mean I'm one of the guys who can't be in the war okay so I try to do what I can Marsha told me all your mother did for people around here and now that your brother is in the army okay I'm doing what I can is that a crime is it a crime but I'm concerned because grace is sick I well I mean after all she fainted who've you got to run errands with your brother Graham and is it a crime that Marsh is concerned I don't get you Rosie you're going

who can I help it if I'm worried what do you have to act like a fool you have to go running around until everybody starts thinking you're a saint or a devil it's dangerous grace she's really suspicious oh it's all talk do you know what she did what she is giving me the money geez yes and if you weren't such a ninny she wouldn't be suspecting a thing maybe you're right but but I'm getting nervous and I don't only mean about you are I mean about Sam we'll leave as soon as the money comes it has to be sent suppose a letter comes from Sammy it's a long time grace his ship must have arrived I'm getting scared and the way things are now on I mean having that baby and I'm not leaving till we have the money we came here for the money in the first place I didn't go all through this

home Molly you know there's a lady in Jeffersonville Missouri who helps to shoot down one axis plane every month you know how she does it she turns in one pound of waste fat to her butcher every single month and each pound of waste fat she turns in makes enough glycerin to fire one shell from an anti-aircraft gun and our fighting men are using those shells to shoot down plane after plane now how about you have you been turning in your waist fat to make the shells our soldiers and sailors need to win this war you know all the government wants from you is the fat you'd ordinarily throw away that means even solid fats to like like meat trimmings and poultry fat save it all and melt it down your oven along with whatever you're cooking then pour it into a clean container and be sure and take it to your butcher now don't put it off get your waist fat into the fight don't throw it out turn it in keep our guns firing be sure to listen to the next episode of the Goldbergs Rosie finds
