Miscommunication in Bringing up Baby

Miscommunication plays a huge role in the film. Throughout the film we see David and Suzan in about a million different scenarios that could have possibly been avoided had there been better communication between the two. They would always interrupt one another either purposefully or accidentally and thus would wind up in some sort of mayhem. While one can easily argue that the lack of communication is detrimental to a blossoming couple, it appears that it was these various misunderstandings that brought David and Suzan closer to one another. The situations they were faced with, often called for quick action. If David was zoning out at the dinner table, Suzan had to come up with David's responses. If Suzan was all of a sudden being threatened by a wild panther, then David had to step up and ward the wild animal off. What David and Suzan lacked in words they made up for in actions thus bringing some sort of validity to the phrase- "actions speak louder than words". By the end of the film many of the conversations between David and Suzan amounted to chaos yet they were each quick to fix their mistakes by thinking on their toes, and mostly always their actions would be to safeguard the other. Thus, their romance is not too far fetched despite them only knowing one another for such a short period of time; they proved their love to one another without barely any words.
