    “is it for a clock” sounds like “is it 4 o’clock” and since he doesn’t have batteries in his clock he doesn’t know.

      Of fuck I’m way too high for this. I thought the clocks were some weird machine and it’s a reference to some movie or shit where the guy tries to fix some machine :D

        I thought he needed batteries for a flashlight or something to see the clock and the lack of light meant he didn’t know if the clock was working.
