- Doctor, I've been telling you, Harvey is a rabbit. A big white rabbit six feet high. Or is it six-feet-three-and-a-half? Heaven knows, I ought to know. He's been around the house long enough.

- Mrs. Simmons, if I'm not mistaken...

- Doctor, don't you understand? The rabbit's name is Harvey. Harvey lives at our house.

- He's lost interest in everything else.
