Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet: Does Elwood see anybody these days? Veta Louise Simmons: Oh, yes, Aunt Ethel, Elwood sees *somebody*.
Wilson: I'll tell you something, Myrt. Myrtle Mae Simmons: Yeah? Wilson: You know, you not only got a nice build, but you got something else, too. Myrtle Mae Simmons: Really? What? Wilson: You got the screwiest uncle that ever stuck his puss inside o...
Elwood P. Dowd: Miss Kelly, perhaps you'd like this flower. I seem to have misplaced my buttonhole.
Wilson: Hello, sweetheart. Well, well. Those for me? Veta Louise Simmons: [Picking flowers] For you? I should say not. They're for my brother, Elwood. He's devoted to ranunculur. Wilson: Sure. Well, wouldn't you like to come inside and pick some off ...
[last lines] Elwood P. Dowd: Well, thank you Harvey! I prefer you too.

Dr. Chumley: I'm Dr. Chumley. You're Mrs. Simmons, of course. Veta Louise Simmons: Yes, well, I'm glad to know you, Dr. Chumley. Would you mind asking Judge Gaffney to come back here? Dr. Chumley: Why, certainly, certainly. Veta Louise Simmons: I wan...
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 afte...
