(another confusing-something) Cyranod de Tripper episode- confused about dialogue - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm sorry but I don't understand something when Chrissy is explaining to her chef boyfriend Winthram, that living arrangements are platonic at home. He says 'I find Greece or grease, to be fascinating' then Chrissy says 'we tried to get tickets to Grease but they were all sold out.'

I am so lost.

How does it go from there is nothing sexual going on here- to- something about grease.

Chrissy mentioned "platonic," which is a word that refers to Plato, an ancient Greek scholar. So Michael Winthrop replied, "I find Greece to be fascinating." Chrissy, however, not understanding the Plato/Greece connection, thought he said "I find Grease to be fascinating," meaning the 1978 movie Grease (with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John), which is why she talked about not being able to "get tickets."

In the Cleptomaniac episode Mr Roper was just in the apartment, getting a drink, then left. Then Chrissy is sitting on the couch & was asked or told Mr Roper was outside; Chrissy says "he just left do you want me to get him for you"

I'll have to watch it again to see if I understand it maybe Chrissy was asked where Mr Roper was and she said outside and she also thought Mr Roper was needed in the apartment, so thinking that, she asked if she should go get Mr Roper for Jack and Janet's concern....???
