Juliet lies to Lord Capulet, saying that she has sought forgiveness from the Friar for her disobedience towards him. She pretends to be remorseful and obedient to regain his favor.
Juliet, Romeo, Tybalt, Nurse, Benvolio Or . . . Juliet, Romeo, Friar Lawrence, Nurse, Capulet Or . . . Juliet, Romeo, Friar Lawrence, Capulet, Tybalt Or . . . Juliet, Romeo, Capulet, Mercutio, Tybalt Or basically Romeo and Juliet and any three of Nurse, Friar, Capulet, Mercutio, or Tybalt.
They are talking to a servant about hiring twenty new cooks. They seem to be confident that they can bring Juliet around to their way of thinking.
Capulet praises the friar for helping Juliet be a good daughter, not realizing the friar has actually helped Juliet disobey him by marrying her to Romeo in secret. This is ironic because the friar's actions directly contradict what Capulet believes the friar's role should be.
Juliet has told her father that Friar Lawrence told her to apologise to her father and to agree to marry Paris. Capulet praises the Friar, thinking that the Friar is helping Capulet's marriage plans for Juliet, when in fact the apology is part of the Friar's plan to frustrate Capulet's plans.
friar Laurence
Friar Lawrence is neither a Montague nor a Capulet. He is a member of the clergy in Verona who plays a significant role in the lives of Romeo and Juliet.
Friar Lawrence encourages Capulet to be more understanding and patient with Juliet instead of rushing her into marriage with Paris. He advises Capulet to listen to Juliet's feelings and consider her wishes before making any decisions about her future.
Friar Laurence hurries to the Capulet's tomb to rescue Juliet and prevent her from harming herself after discovering Romeo dead. He plans to arrange for Juliet's protection and help her escape to a convent with the hope of eventually reuniting her with Romeo.
The characters were: Romeo, Juliet, Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, Lord Montague, Lady Montague, The Nurse, County Paris, Prince Escalus, Friar Lawrence, Friar John, Mercutio, Balthasar, Benvolio, Tybalt, Samson, and Gregory.
Juliet tells her father that she has "learned...to repent the sin Of disobedient opposition" and she begs his forgiveness. She's lying, of course, because she has the potion form Friar Lawrence to help her plan her escape. Capulet is so excited by her apology that he decides the wedding should be moved up to Wednesday.

Capulet thinks the city should be bound to the Friar because he has talked Juliet into marrying Paris. (Why the whole city should care I don't know.) Of course the audience knows that this Friar whom Capulet is praising has actually talked Juliet into faking her death so she won't have to marry Paris.
