Judge Gaffney Quotes in Harvey (1950)

Veta Louise Simmons: Judge Gaffney, is that all those doctors do in places like that - think about sex?

Judge Gaffney: I don't know.

Veta Louise Simmons: Because if it is they ought to be ashamed of themselves. It's all in their heads anyway. Why don't they get out and take long walks in the fresh air?

Judge Gaffney: Minninger! You failed!

Mr. Minninger: I didn't fail, Judge. I haven't even tried yet.

Judge Gaffney: What'd he do, Veta?

Veta Louise Simmons: He took me upstairs and he tore my clothes off!

Myrtle Mae Simmons: Oh, did you hear that Judge? Go on, Mother.

Veta Louise Simmons: And then he dumped me down in a tub of water.

Myrtle Mae Simmons: Oh, for heaven's sake.

Judge Gaffney: Well, I'll be swizzled!

Judge Gaffney: Anything you told Dr. Sanderson, you can tell us Veta Louise. She's your daughter and I'm your lawyer.

Veta Louise Simmons: I know which is which. I don't want to talk about it.

Judge Gaffney: We shall see what we shall see.

Judge Gaffney: You wait right here, Veta girl.

Veta Louise Simmons: I will not wait here. I'm going in with you.

Judge Gaffney: You're a very high strung girl. This may be an ordeal.

Elwood P. Dowd: Well, I think this calls for a celebration! Why don't we all go down to Charlie's Place and have a drink?

Veta Louise Simmons: You're not going anywhere, Elwood. You're staying right here.

Myrtle Mae Simmons: Yes, Uncle Elwood.

Judge Gaffney: Stay here, son.

Elwood P. Dowd: I plan to leave, you want me to stay. Oh, an element of conflict in any discussion is a very good thing. It shows everybody is taking part and nobody is left out. I like that.
