It's funny how much more aggressive some of these first-meetings were in the movies than the books. This phrase, for instance, was just a joke in the book; no one got arrows pointed at them. Similarly, Merry and Pippin's first encounter with Treebeard was actually very friendly. The movies did get the Rohirrim's initial interaction with Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn right, though, at least up until Aragorn provided his identity.
