From the 2011 movie "Margin Call"





Sarah: What’s your background?


 Peter: My background?



Sarah: Your CV.



Peter: I’ve been with the firm two and half years, working with Eric that whole time, but I hold a doctorate in Engineering,

specialty in Propulsion, from MIT with a Bachelors from Penn.



Jared: What is a ‘specialty in propulsion’, exactly?



Peter: My thesis was a study in the ways that friction ratios affect steering outcomes in aeronautical uses under reduced gravity loads.

Jared: …so you’re a rocket scientist.
