Friend is overstating their relationship as Tom, although remembers him, probably would have been happy in life if he never saw Harvey again. Harvey is brash and overbearing. However, Harvey is happy to see his old buddy, Tommy, and ingratiates himself quickly into the Corbett household, especially gaining Eddie's favor, Eddie who calls him Uncle Harvey. Despite initially saying that he doesn't want to impose, Harvey stays for dinner, stays overnight (in Eddie's bed, Eddie who has to sleep with Tom), for breakfast, overnight again... Tom wants to stop being gracious to Harvey, but can't stop being so. One evening, Harvey brings home two "loose" women to double date with Tom. Tom doesn't want to spend any time with Harvey let alone date anyone who is not mother/wife material. Tom uses Mrs. Livingston not being able to sit with Eddie as an excuse not to go out with Harvey and the girls. However, Mrs. Livingston as his excuse falls through, and Tom is forced to go out with Harvey, or else get exposed in a lie. Just as Tom is about to finally tell Harvey to leave for good, Harvey announces that his trip is coming to an end and graciously gives beautiful and meaningful gifts to Eddie, Mrs. Livingston and Tom for their hospitality. Harvey really is a friend, but one better kept at a distance. Written by Huggo See less
