Out of Work 失业

scott : I went to Salt Lake City on business. What's up?

Henry: I got fired.

Scott: How come? Last time I saw you, you told me it was a good job and you would like to take it as a career. That was only one month ago. Why this sudden change?

Henry : 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 make ten million dollars and I messed it up.

Scott : What are you going to do now?

Henry : I'm trying to find a job as soon as possible. Nancy doesn't know yet. I didn't tell her. I spent the past three days at the coffee shop next to your office She thought I went to work as usual.

scott : That's not the way to solve the problem. Did you look in the classified advertisements column?

Henry: Yes, I did, but I wasn't qualified to most of the jobs that I was interested in.

Scott : Listen. I'll see what I can do, OK? You go home and tell Nancy about this problem you have now. She is your wife, and I'm sure she’ll understand.

Henry: I just don't know how to bring it up.... Well, all right.She has the right to know anyways.
