Description:
The Goldbergs: Episode 1792. Date: c. 1944. Cast: Gertrude Berg (Molly Goldberg); James R. Waters (Jake Goldberg); Roslyn Silber (Rosalie Goldberg); Alfred Ryder (Sammy Goldberg); Menasha Skulnik (Uncle David).
Announcer introduction: "Right now there is a train speeding between Lastenbury and New York, and on that train sit two people, a soldier and a girl -- Sammy and Dora Mayer -- and at Lastenbury the parents of both of them, each in their own way are a little worried. Actually, one is far more worried than the other. Certainly there's no doubt that Mrs. Mayer, whose objections to Sammy as a son-in-law has caused quite an argument with Molly, is worried more by far. Molly, on the other hand, is merely uncertain as to what is Sammy's and Dora's purpose in going to New York together. Of course, Molly's secret hope is not so secret, really. There could be no happier person in Lastenbury if Sammy and Dora decide to get married... But as yet, there's been no word from either of them ever since Sammy phoned Uncle David that he and Dora were leaving. So at the Goldbergs meanwhile, there is nothing to do but sit and wait... and, as Molly is doing... talk... Listen..."
Announcer close: "And so as the train roars toward New York, it pulls together the lives and destinies of Sammy and Dora. These two, after so many mistakes and difficulties have truly found one another, as if their meeting had been preordained long before. And yet, fate is such an uncertain business. There is no telling but that Mrs. Mayer's objections may mask the real purpose and direction fate intends to take..."

rayon slips well I don't know the towels in my wash get dirtier than any I've ever seen say doz gets towels whiter than soap after soap tested none of them can do all doz does and still match it for

train sit two people a soldier and a girl Sammy and Dora mayor and at lenb the parents of both of them each in their own way are a little worried actually one is far more worried than the other certainly there's no doubt that Mrs mayor whose objections to Sammy as a son-in-law caused quite an argument with Molly is worried more by far Molly on the other hand is merely uncertain as to what is Sammy and Dora's purpose in going to New York together of course Molly's secret hope is not so secret really there could be be no happier person in lenbury if Sammy and Dora decide to get married but as yet there's been no word from either of them ever since Sammy phoned Uncle David that he and Dora were leaving so at the Goldbergs meanwhile there's nothing to do but sit and wait and as Molly is doing talk listen Ros Ros Dar tell me quietly and tell me slowly and tell me gently what did Sam say when he called Uncle David spoke with him yeah but what Sam said Uncle David told you no he told you too Ma yes so tell me again Sammy told Uncle David that he was going to New York yeah and and and and and what he didn't say he didn't have too much time M he called from the station what station blenbury station and and the train was leaving Ros darling what what do you think Sam will call you when he gets to New York M Ros if Sam gets married without the wedding well there isn't anything else for them to do more with Mrs mayor acting the way she is I mean if she keeps I know but but I always wanted a wedding for Sammy nobody bothers with weddings now M no no but only a little wedding maybe I always wanted a little wedding if not a big one but maybe Sam just went to New York with Dora to take a ride maybe maybe maybe just to go to the studio to watch Dora broadcast maybe maybe brother why do you have to be sad when you're happy you thinking of Mrs Mayar mhm she's also a mother I'm happy why shouldn't she be happy seems to me rosley if you if you would meet a boy like Sam and marry a boy like Sam I would be besides myself a joy Samy is your a son ma maybe you're a little prejudiced what prejudiced prejudiced I am maybe soora right so eliminate Sam so eliminate Sam for a second and think only of love for each other shouldn't that be enough to make any mother happy to know that her child is lucky and fortunate and wonderful enough to be in love love is life Ros take love out of life and what's left nothing nothing a big zero nothing nothing what love love is nothing love is everything you just said nothing I said nothing is anything without love P that's something new you know that too Jake know what that Love is Everything why shouldn't I know it how do you know it I'm asking you how do I know it you tell me you tell Mama Ros no you tell me J you want to hear me say I love you why not you do do what love me what do you think I think yes no yes not no are you comfortable Dora very another minute and we wouldn't have made it I don't care Sammy what do you mean I wouldn't have cared if we'd missed the train and not make your broadcast well I mean if it meant my going to New York alone Dora yes Sammy there's a lot to say I hardly know where to begin anymore at the beginning Sammy I don't have much time anymore Dora time's running out on me I wasted so much of it if there were only some kind of signposts telling you what to do at the proper time why Sammy because it's taken me so long Sammy please Dora what I have to say mustn't be interrupted you'll spoil it I've been Secret ly rehearsing it for days I think what is it it's taken such a long time 5 years or more to get here sitting beside you like this it's as if I'd made an appointment once and forgot all about it a date to meet a certain person and by accident I remember the date the place and the time only that certain person got there first will you forgive me do for for being late Sammy there were lots of things to hold me up from coming sooner history for one thing Emily yes and for a while Dora I thought it was Emily I was supposed to have that appointment with that it was her I was supposed to meet but it wasn't forgive me for Adora there's nothing to forgive Sammy there is there's little enough time for people these days life is rent now now we can't afford to make mistakes there's so much to forgive Doran so much to say say it Sammy I don't know how so that the words really tell you what I feel it's as if the bells I hear ringing inside of me would only sound like a tinkle if I try to put it all in words please try to say it Sammy please I love you Dora I think I've always loved you that's what I've been telling myself for days listening to how the words sounded but it wasn't any good because there never was any answer it was like Shadow Boxing without opposition but now tell me Dora what do the opposition man what does it say there isn't any opposition Sammy but what does it say what can it say Sammy except that I love you that nothing in the whole world could stop stop me from loving you but I loved you yesterday and I love you today and will love you tomorrow and all the days that follow afterwards that I loved you when you were with Emily Emily was a mistake or a Believer there's no need Samy there is you've got to understand it I didn't know it but when I found Emily it was really you I was looking for it was always you I used to catch myself calling her with your name calling Dora when I met Emily it was like trying to be two different people and knowing all the time that you were failing at both of them we could have had all this before what difference does it make now it's here and it's real that's all that matters there hasn't been a song written yet not one I've sung that's as true as this let me look at you all at once you're even more wonderful than you were before you are Sammy Dora yes Dora I want you to marry me I want you to marry me soon now Sammy my furer will soon be up and what'll happen afterwards I don't know but this isn't a war marriaged D something done while the bugles are blowing and the flags are waving it's deeper than that it's something that should be it was meant that way I know your mother objects to midora but this is our life and right now we haven't too much of it will you marry midora now now or any other time Sammy in spite of your mother in spite of my mother D I don't know how to say it I I love you very much Dora words sound so weak when I say them well then say it another way Sammy what way this you haven't kissed me yet Sammy Dora and so as the train Roars toward New York it pulls together the lives and destinies of Samy and Dora these two after so many mistakes and difficulties have truly found one another as if their meeting had been pre-ordained long before and yet fate is such an uncertain business there's no telling but that Mrs mayor's objections May mask the real purpose and Direction fate intends to take you know very often it's true good things come in pairs take the big news about does for instance now we tested does against 25 different wash day soaps and prove does does everything best in your wash well here's the other half of that good news in
