He does a lot. He drives, robs banks and sacrifices himself to save the girl.

True. But like. Small things. Human interpersonal relationship things. If he's going to be silent. It's he grabbing her hand to reassure her? Hugging her? Body language? Nah he's a robot except for in the car.

Again, there is a special type of chemistry that comes from two strong silent types being together. LOL! I'm not saying that we're mutes. But, you get my point.

No no I totally get that. I just would/have already argued that you still have to have some base level which I feel he didn't. And if you're saying 2 string silent types fit together to have comfortable silence I would also argue Irene is in NO WAY a strong silent type. Her whole dynamic was begging without saying it aloud. She was wanton. She would have craved for him to even say her name once more.
