I was working on a film shoot in a field near a village
and I sent one of our new runners off to get some bits, with an instruction: get a torch.

And when he came back, he had indeed bought a torch.

As he handed it to me he said "do you batteries for it?".

[no dear, I want you to get a really long extension lead for it]

You missed an important word or two there.

Err...
Isn't it reasonable to assume that if you wanted batteries, you'd have asked for them?

No.
No it's not.

No one brings batteries but not the torch.

I would
But I've got a selective hearing problem where I hear batteries when someone says torch.

Before you ask, yes it's a curse.

Because I realised I read what you said backwards.

Now I just don't know what you meant at all anyway.

Next time
you should ask the best boy. I bet he could do it better.

Or the key grip.

Or the location manager

What about the
gaffer?

Or the dolly operator?
