Tybalt and the Marriage

After exchanging marriage vows with Juliet, Romeo visits Friar Laurence to have Juliet and him marry. Friar Laurence is hesitant at first, but he decides to marry them to stop the feud between their two families. Later, Romeo is challenged to a duel from Tybalt because he really hates the Montagues like the word "hell", and he saw Romeo at the party uninvited. Mercutio makes a mockery of Tybalt by saying Tybalt fights like a dancer. Romeo accepts the challenge, but he really doesn't pay attention to it. The Nurse arrives shortly after asking when the marriage is happening and where to meet, and Romeo says to meet in Friar Laurence's cell. Mercutio makes fun of the Nurse by calling her a ,"No hare, sir, unless a hare, sir, in a Lenten pie—that is, something stale and hoar ere it be spent.", which is basically a prostitute. After, Nurse leaves in a hurry when she found out she is two hours late from her schedule, and she returns home to let Juliet know information about the marriage.
