Just because he looks like one doesn't mean that Sam was a thick-headed lout. Just knowing Pippin, and seeing him running like a fire had been lit under his bottom, while holding a bunch of vegetables, would make the stupidest Hobbit put two and two together. The screenwriters didn't have to put every single bit of dialogue in there to explain things to the audience. Most of the time, they know that the audience is smart enough to make inferences on their own, and don't need everything handed to them on silver platters.
