Did you guys notice Leo mispronouncing escape by adding 'c' right after E? He did it several times. In fact every time he used the word.

I literally just noticed that! (I'm right at the beginning of the film)

Lol. Twice. First as they're walking towards the office and once in the meeting with the staff or just before. It has a certain ring to it and reminds me of my own quirk to constantly mispronounce certain words. Lol.

That's just how they pronounce it in Boston

It's actually quite common, the thing is called metathesis. There are a lot of words in English (derived from Latin) starting with "ex-" so the speaker is following a pattern.
