The Goldbergs: Episode 1530. Date: August 6, 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: "When Molly Goldberg sets out on one of her spiritual journeys, she never falters... even when the going gets tough. This time she is trying to set Grace on the right path. Grace, you know, is the girl who, in league with George, came to the Goldbergs posing as Sammy's wife, in order to get money from them. Thanks to the confession of George, Grace's real husband, everybody knows now who and what Grace is, but the girl doesn't suspect that her game is almost up. Molly, by trusting George with the funds of the Committee for Juvenile Delinquency, is trying to prove to her family that by giving George a second chance, it may influence Grace to reform. But so far, Grace seems not to have changed... she has gotten hold of the money entrusted to George, much to Rosie and Jake's distress... The Goldbergs are having a sleepless night and every time a door opens or closes, they think Grace is leaving the house with the money. So Molly is sleeping with Grace, which worries Jake even more... Right now, Rosie and David are tiptoeing through the dark hall to Grace's room... Listen..."
Announcer close: "Grace weeps, but it may be self-pity and not regret for her past. Conversion from evil to good is not just a question of tears, as Molly should know..."

things to think about so many things to hope for to bring a life into the world no no that's something to think about huh Grace for people that feel their responsibilities I mean I remember how I used to pray that God would give me enough wisdom to raise my child and to be worthy in every way your comfortable Grace yes I suppose every mother dreams and hopes for something else for her child what do you want Grace you sleeping no what do you want Grace fair chance that you can do Grace that's what I'm trying to do fair chance yes but I mean really fair I mean if if my baby isn't beautiful or wise clever I want him to have a fair chance there's only one thing in the world that will give him a fair chance and that's money you think so I know so I know plenty about those children who don't get a fair chance you say fair chance mother's fair chance mean what does it mean in Deeds what do you think it means you say fair CH what does it mean to you what does itan mean to you want my opinion yes my opinion may not uh be exactly like yours what is it well my opinions and my ideas I suppose like everybody else comes from my own how should I say it my own life and my own experience so maybe my love was very great I found someone who I loved and I found somebody who loved me that was more maybe than than just a fair chance huh love isn't everything of course not how could love be everything when love is just the beginning then I had children and they were good children that was lucky maybe than I deserve no matter how good children are they have to get the brakes and that takes money surely inde it takes money certainly not a fortune but money enough to to provide the we with all certainly it's necessary it's important certainly but Grace listen to me I know whereof I speak the fair chance the breaks like you say must come from you because the greatest break a child can get is the parents they're born to a child graes is like a dream a mother has remember it takes 9 months to bring a mother into the world and a woman that is changing into a mother must know that that the food of human life is is not bread alone not at all the food is is a million sweetnesses a million delicate lovely things that grow into into tender Minds like flowers without them the world the world would be a desert Grace and the mother who neglects those little things those sweet things the mother who don't believe in them Dooms her child please darling why do you cry tell me about tell me why you cry tell me everything Grace weeps but it may be self-pity and not regret for her past
