I thought I was done gushing..
About Harvey, that is.
I was wrong.
I want to share some of my favorite lines from the movie :D Purely because I can.
**Elwood: Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
**Elwood: Well, I'd wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.
**Just about anyone in the movie: What can I do for you, Mr. Dowd?
Elwood: What did you have in mind?
**Wilson: Who's Harvey?
Miss Kelly: A white rabbit, six feet tall.
Wilson: Six feet?
Elwood: Six feet three and a half inches. Now let's stick to the facts.
**Elwood: You see, science has overcome time and space. Well, Harvey has overcome not only time and space, but any objections.
**Dr. Chumley: This sister of yours is at the bottom of a conspiracy against you. She's trying to persuade me to lock you up. Today, she had commitment papers drawn up. She has your power of attorney and the key to your safety box, and she brought you here!
Elwood: My sister did all that in one afternoon? That Veta certainly is a whirlwind, isn't she?
**Elwood: Miss Kelly, perhaps you'd like this flower. I seem to have misplaced my buttonhole.
**Dr. Sanderson: I think that your sister's condition stems from trauma.
Elwood: From what?
Dr. Sanderson: Uh, trauma. Spelled t-r-a-u-m-a. It means shock. There's nothing unusual about it. There's the "birth trauma" - the shock of being born...
Elwood: That's the one we never get over.
