Slide 2 : There was a girl. Her name was Betty. She lived in Beaver City, Nebraska. She was a girl of great BEAUTY. However, she was a spoiled little brat. Betty wasn’t liked by anybody except her rich uncle Bob. She was willed everything he owned when he died...if she could get married BEFORE the end of the year.
So, she tried to get a date with guys where she worked. But no one wanted to go out with her. So, her BRAIN was put to work, and decided to put her ad on a dating site online. But nasty comments were left on her profile by almost everybody because they could tell she was a spoiled brat.
After about a month someone finally contacted her about her ad. So, a date and time was set for them to meet. Betty was supposed to pick him up in her car at 9:00 p.m. She got off work early that day to go to the salon and do her hair and nails. Then she drove down the BLOCK to meet Billy.
Betty saw a sign outside said that this was an insane asylum. She figured that it must have been a prank, so she rang the BELL. The door was opened by a nurse who invited her in. She told Betty that Billy was a patient there. Betty didn’t like it, but she decided that she didn’t have any other options.
Betty was warned by the nurse not to look Billy in the eyes as he might try to BITE her. Billy made fun of her the whole time she was there. He laughed at her hair. He laughed at her make up. And he even laughed at the way she talked. Betty wasn’t used to having people treat her (BURN HER TOAST ) like that.
What really threw her for a loop though was that he talked to himself most of the time. But Betty was desperate to get married though. She BELIEVED that Billy would possibly marry her if she would help him get out of the insane asylum. And she was right. He jumped at her offer to get married right away.
