Harvey is first seen at the local school, sitting with his friends by the fountain. He insults Shaun about his dead father and then gets into a fight with him. It is possible that Harvey bullied Shaun for a long time before the film. The two are sent to the Headmaster's office where Harvey is punished with a cane. Upset by the insults from Harvey, Shaun wanders the town and comes across the gang in the underpass where he is cheered up by Woody who impersonates Harvey and comments on how amusing his name is. If Harvey hadn't insulted Shaun, he may well have not come across the gang, and things would be very different. Harvey is not seen again until 1986.
