answer: Dan lost his job because he messed up a $10 million worth of business deal and he didn't tell his wife, Lily. #Person1# will see what #Person1# can do to help Dan and suggests he tell Lily about this problem.
documents: #Person1#: Hi, Dan. What's new?
  #Person2#: Where have you been? I've been trying to get in touch with you for two days.
  #Person1#: I went to Salt Lake City on business. What's up?
  #Person2#: I got fired.
  #Person1#: How come? Last time I saw you. You told me it was a good job, and you'd like to take it as a career. That was only one month ago. Why this sudden change?
  #Person2#: It's a long story. In a word, I didn't do a good job of it. I messed up a business deal, a deal that would have made ten million dollars and I messed it up.
  #Person1#: What are you going to do now?
  #Person2#: I am trying to find a job asap. Lily doesn't know yet. I didn't tell her. I spent the past three days at the coffee shop next to your office, and she thought I went to work as usual.
  #Person1#: That's not the way to solve the problem. Did you look in the classified advertisements column?
  #Person2#: Yes, I did. But I wasn't qualified for most of the jobs that I was interested in.
  #Person1#: Listen. I will see what I can do, ok? You go home and tell Lily about this problem you have now. She is your wife and I am sure she will understand.
  #Person2#: I just don't know how to bring it up. Well, all right. She has the right to know anyways.
