Margin Call2011

Sarah Robertson:
But is this your draft?

Peter Sullivan:
Yes. Again, expanded on the original work by Mr. Dale. But, yes.

Sarah Robertson:
What's your background?

Peter Sullivan:
My background?

Sarah Robertson:
Your CV?

Peter Sullivan:
I've been with the firm for two and a half years, working with Eric that whole time. But I hold a doctorate in engineering, specialty in propulsion, from MIT with a bachelor's from Penn.

Jared Cohen:
What is a specialty in propulsion, exactly?

Peter Sullivan:
My thesis was studying the ways that friction ratios affect steering outcomes in aeronautical use under reduced gravity loads.

Jared Cohen:
So, you're a rocket scientist?

Peter Sullivan:
I was. Yeah.

Jared Cohen:
Interesting. How did you end up here?

Peter Sullivan:
Well, it's all just numbers really. Just changing what you're adding up, and, to speak freely, the money here is considerably more attractive.
