Miss Kelly Quotes in Harvey (1950)

Wilson: Who's Harvey?

Miss Kelly: A white rabbit, six feet tall.

Wilson: Six feet?

Elwood P. Dowd: Six feet three and a half inches. Now let's stick to the facts.

Dr. Sanderson: It sounds funny, but I'll miss this place. I guess I'll miss a lot of things around here.

Miss Kelly: You will?

Dr. Sanderson: You won't laugh?

Miss Kelly: Of course not.

Dr. Sanderson: You know how it is working around people day after day. You sort of get attached to them.

Miss Kelly: I know, Lyman.

Dr. Sanderson: It may be ridiculous, but I'm gonna miss every one of the psychos, and the neuros, and the schizos in the place.

Miss Kelly: Well what shall I say to Mr. Dowd? What do I do? He'll probably be so furious he'll refuse to come down here.

Dr. Sanderson: Look, Miss Kelly. He's probably fit to be tied, but he's a man, isn't he?

Miss Kelly: I guess so. His name's *Mister*!

Dr. Sanderson: Well, then, go into your old routine. You know, the eyes, the swish, the works. I'm immune to it, but I've seen it work on some people, some of the patients out here. Now, you get him down here, Kelly, if you have to do a striptease!

Veta Louise Simmons: It's Dowd. Elwood P. Dowd.

Miss Kelly: Elwood P. Dowd. His age?

Veta Louise Simmons: Forty-two the twenty-fourth of last April. He's Taurus. Taurus, the bull. I'm Leo and Myrtle's on the cusp.

Miss Kelly: Is he married?

Veta Louise Simmons: No. Elwood never married. He always stayed with mother. He was a great home boy. He loved his home.

Dr. Sanderson: Oh, no! Kelly! Kelly, do you realize what you've done! This man, Dowd, can sue us for false commitment. He can own the whole sanitarium and I'll be kicked out of here faster than you can say stupid, incompetent and inefficient!

Miss Kelly: Oh, I'll tell Dr. Chumley you had nothing to do with it! It was all my fault. You're the last person in the world I'd ever want anything like this to happen to. You know that, don't you, Dr. Sanderson?

Dr. Sanderson: Miss Kelly, this is hardly the time or the place to go into the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.

Miss Kelly: ...Doctor. There's never any time or place!

Miss Kelly: I was wondering if you would come downstairs with me, please, to Dr. Sanderson's office? There's something he'd like to explain to you.

Elwood P. Dowd: I'd be glad to, Miss Kelly, but there's another very charming girl in here a minute ago and she asked me to wait. She said something about a bath. I-I-I don't like to disappoint her. She seemed to have her heart set on.

Elwood P. Dowd: [to Harvey] You could have had a bath too.

Miss Kelly: [Turns around to address Elwood] I've already had a bath.

Dr. Sanderson: Please, sit down.

Elwood P. Dowd: After Miss Kelly.

Miss Kelly: Oh, no, really, Mr. Dowd. I couldn't. I'm in-and-out all the time.

Miss Kelly: I came down here to say goodbye to you. So, goodbye, good luck and good riddance!

Wilson: Any of your patients been acting up, Kelly?

Miss Kelly: Everything's just *peachy*.
