Harry is an overweight man from New York State who travels to Vermont to be with his girlfriend Katherine and her two kids. He has trouble breathing after sex and thinks about his fatness all the time. He recently took out life insurance and continually thinks about what the $100,000 settlement could mean to Katherine and her kids. Thus, he tries to get Katherine to take their relationship a step further, discussing the prospect of marriage and him moving to Vermont. Katherine is hesitant. Harry spends time with the kids, Rocky and Bob. Rocky likes to play Indians, and Bob is a baby. Katherine tells Harry that her ex and father of the children, Dell, is coming to visit. Katherine decides it will be easier if Harry is not around when Dell comes. Harry says he and Katherine should get married so that Dell cannot dispute his existence, but Katherine says she does not want to be married again. Dells arrives before Harry leaves. The three adults sit down to drink and talk together. Dell cracks a joke at Harry for being fat. Harry tries to take a walk to let Katherine and Dell talk, but Dell insists that he come to. Dell begins fighting Harry, throwing punches, and the violence continues until a potato picker sees and breaks up the fight. That night, when Katherine and Harry are in bed together, Harry tries to be intimate with Katherine. Katherine tells Harry that she does not want to be with anyone right now. She wants to be alone.
