{{quote|'''Dr. Sanderson''': "How did you come to call him Harvey?"
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
'''Veta''': (''without changing her expression or tone from her last line'') "I said yes, he does talk to it." }}
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Elwood is so ''completely'' on board the Dr. Sanderson/Ms. Kelly train that he even believes they're together when he's first meeting them when they insist they're just coworkers. Once Wilson and Myrtle Mae are seen together, he's endorsing their pairing, too.
* [[A Simple Plan]]: Early on it's established Elwood sees a 6 six-foot rabbit no one else can see and his sister and niece decide to send him to the insane asylum. Given Elwood's behaviour and accepting demeanor you'd think nothing could go wrong with that strategy... and you'd be mistaken. Minor subversion is that there's an indication that Harvey himself might have something to do with things not quite going to plan.
** The rabbit's only 6' in the play, in the movie it was changed to 7' because Jimmy Stewart was too tall to look up to a 6' bunny the way he needed to.
** Six feet three and a half inches, now let's stick to the facts.
