The Indestructible Ego

Sorry for the spoiler, but this is the happy ending of The Indestructible Man (1956):

Eva: I suppose you’ll be assigned to another case, and I’ll have to give up hamburgers in the front seat of the car for steaks in a restaurant.

Lt. Chasen: No, I thought about that. In fact, I decided to do something about it. I started by talking the Captain into a short holiday. And, just about an hour ago, I got you fired.

Eva: What? What did you do that for?

Lt. Chasen: I figured being my wife would take up all of your time.

Eva: Well, even if I wanted to say no, I couldn’t. You’re not supposed to say no to a detective.

Lt. Chasen: I figured that, too.

This guy is the hero???
