Since meeting Delilah, the burn rate on Les's modest means shot to the red line. So when Ira mentioned a new assignment, Les wasn't in the mood to ask questions, or even to listen to Ira's vague concerns. Les needed the money and the Department of Commerce, or maybe Ira's real employer, needed Les. That was how capitalism worked, and Les was a capitalist. A capitalist about to go in over his head.
