Monday Night Movie Ministry will be showing “Harvey” at 6pm this Monday
Gathering with friends (old and new) to enjoy pizza and a movie - what could be better? Especially with this movie - Harvey! It has terrific dialogue! I am putting some of quotes and dialogue on this page. I hope you find it as amusing and heart warming as I do, after all, God wants us to smile.
Wilson: [Reading from an encyclopedia] “P-O-O-K-A. Pooka. From old Celtic mythology, a fairy spirit in animal form, always very large. The pooka appears here and there, now and then, to this one and that one. A benign but mischievous creature. Very fond of rumpots, crackpots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson?” [Inverts and shakes the encyclopedia] ‘How are you, Mr. Wilson?’ Who in the encyclopedia wants to know?
Dr. Sanderson: Think carefully, Dowd. Didn’t you know somebody, sometime, someplace with the name of Harvey? Didn’t you ever know anybody by that name?
Elwood P. Dowd: No, no, not one, Dr. Maybe that’s why I always had such hopes for it.
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 P. Dowd: She did all that in one afternoon. That Veta certainly is a whirlwind, isn’t she?
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, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant.” Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
Oh, yes! Yes. Yes - these things always work out just the way Harvey says they will. He is very, very versatile. Did I tell you he could stop clocks? Well, you’ve heard the expression ‘His face would stop a clock’? Well, Harvey can look at your clock and stop it. And you can go anywhere you like - with anyone you like - and stay as long as you like. And when you get back, not one minute will have ticked by. … You see, science has overcome time and space. Well, Harvey has overcome not only time and space - but any objections.
Peace!
