The Goldbergs: Episode 1497. Date: June 22, 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 cooked up a fine mess for her family, but all out of the best of intentions... mistrusts Sammy's wife, and so Rosie at first refused and later agreed to give Grace the money that had been put aside for her college education. Rosie doesn't believe Grace's story about needing the money for her sister. And she further suspects that Grace and a neighbor George are more than friends, and so Rosie has done two things. One, she hasn't told her parents or Grace that she got the insurance check she promised to her sister-in-law. And two, Rosie is playing up to George in an attempt to make Grace jealous. The results of the second action is that Molly is frantic, Jake is mad, and Grace is happy... because Grace put George up to the same thing to throw the Goldbergs off the track... listen..."

Announcer close: "Rosie may be having a Roman holiday playacting, but she's breaking Molly's heart and most of all, Grace is being tipped off, for Grace isn't as gullible as Molly and Jake."

in my waist fat you see I found out that every pound I turn in can make 10 50 caliber bullets for his machine gun that's right waste fat makes glycerin and glycerin makes gunpowder of course you know Mrs Williams the government only wants waste fat the fat you'd ordinarily throw out sure but even with rationing I still turn in a pound a month and every time I do it's like sending 10 more bullets right off to my boys that's well Mrs Williams friends turn your waste fat in too save solid fats like trimmings from meats and poultry melt them down in your oven whenever it's in use then pour this waste fat into any clean can and take it to your butcher don't throw it out turn it in keep our guns firing be sure to listen to the next episode of The Goldbergs Grace gets down to the real business of getting the money which she doesn't know is already at the Goldbergs but in Uncle David's hands this is Clayton Cara speaking and reminding you to do as the doam do let doz the new kind of soap do
