Juliet's best friend in the play for most of it is her Nurse. However, they have a disagreement about whether a girl ought to have more than one husband at the same time, and they aren't friends any more.

But you are asking who is LIKE Juliet's best friend, or in other words, who is like the Nurse. Personally I'd say Pandarus in one of Shakespeare's other plays named after a couple, Troilus and Cressida.

Pandarus says this in Act III Scene 1 of Troilus and Cressida. Pandarus (who has been acting as the sexual go-between between Troilus and Cressida and who is basically a pimp) has just finished singing an incredibly obscene and filthy song to Paris, who is dallying with Helen of Troy in the Trojan palace while the Trojan warriors are out on the battlefield fighting the Greeks. Paris says "He eats nothing but doves, love, and that breeds hot blood, and hot blood begets hot thoughts, and hot thoughts beget hot deeds, and hot deeds is love." Doves, it would seem, are an aphrodisiac. Pandarus replies "Is this the generation of love? hot blood, hot thoughts, and hot deeds? Why, they are vipers: is love a generation of vipers?" He means "Is this what generates love?" He then refers to a phrase used in the King James Bible, (three times in St. Matthew's Gospel and once in St. Luke's) a "generation of vipers". This means in the Bible, either a generation as we would understand it or the offspring of vipers. But here he has just talked about the process of generation (hot blood, hot thoughts, and hot deeds) of love and then asks if the next step is from love to vipers.

This doesn't make much sense unless you remember that vipers are snakes and think about what someone with an incurably dirty mind thinks of when you start talking about snakes. Hot blood makes hot thoughts which makes hot deeds which makes love and that makes . . . you know what.

It's a filthy play. Don't even try to get started on the song he sung just before.
