Nancy is a plain girl who agrees to go out with Harold, who's too short, because no one else will date either of them. She's quickly bored by his constant talk about his hobbies, but eventually he changes her mind when he fights one of the bullies that's been harassing them (one of Harold's hobbies is martial arts).
