Before you watch, find our what punting is (hint - it's a leisure pastime) Use google picture search, for instance

Below comes the video. Watch it and try to understand what the relationships between these people are and what's the humor of the story.
In her last line helen remembers Shakespeare. This is what he said about not telling the truth:

"It's not enough to speak, but to speak true." (Midsummer Night’s Dream - Act 5, Scene 1). Translation: Do not talk just to talk. It is more important that when you do speak to tell the truth.

Do you agree? How does the quote relate to the video?
