WILDCAT: Did you always want to be an engineer?

PIETRUSZYNSKI: Always wanted to.

WILDCAT: Ever since you were little?

PIETRUSZYNSKI: Yeah, pretty much.

WILDCAT: Did you play games with blocks and build stuff? Did you take stuff apart?

PIETRUSZYNSKI: Yeah, TVs and radios and stuff like that.

WILDCAT: What was your favorite game to play when you were a little kid?

PIETRUSZYNSKI: Umm· Operation.

WILDCAT: Operation? So, if you could have any sort of tail, what kind of tail would you have?

PIETRUSZYNSKI: Any sort of tail? (laughs)

WILDCAT: Yeah.

PIETRUSZYNSKI: Uh, I don't know. A tiger's tail.

WILDCAT: A tiger's tail? Why?

PIETRUSZYNSKI: Because I am pretty aggressive and tiger's tails are aggressive, I guess.

WILDCAT: See, I always thought it would be cool to have a stegosaurus tail. (To Wildcat photographer) What about you?

WILDCAT PHOTOGRAPHER: I don't want a tail.

PIETRUSZYNSKI: (Laughs) There you go.

WILDCAT: Okay, well, what are you doing here for the summer?
