This is in Act 3 Scene 1. It tells us that mercutio doesnt take benvolio's threat seriously. This is because it states "...when there is no need" which means that Mercutio is saying that there no need to be so serious about things. This coment makes Mercutio seem judgemental and quite courageous too.
