Hi,

Could you please do me a favor and listen to the following recording at 4:28. What is Ricky Gervais saying there? "I don't want to go in a watch a film with someone greasing next to me"? I mean, does he say 'greasing'? It sounds more like 'crazing' or something. Here is the recording.

Thanks,
Torsten

Hi, Torsten

In my opinion, he says "...someone grazing next to me" (that's what I heard)

By the way, the British pronunciation is so quaint (I already got used to the American pronunciation)
