This is so great, because it shows how Men, no matter how wise (or jealous!), don't really understand the nature of hobbits. Frodo's defense of himself and his interactions and behavior was lovely, because it showed self-respect and self-awareness.

And I second Honey's request for the sequel when Aragorn and Boromir go at it! (NOW I understand better all that tension in the movie by the river, with poor Frodo listening to the Men quarrel!)
