I tried to find a video clip of the following line from "Harvey", but none of the links work.
At any rate, in the movie, James Stewart (playing the role of Elwood P. Dowd), is in a pub, and says,
"The evening wore on. That's a very nice expression, isn't it? With your permission, I'll say it again."
"The evening wore on."
Nobody could talk like Jimmy Stewart. He was the best.
