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.
Benvolio encourages Mercutio to stop fighting with Tybalt. He tries to restrain Tybalt without any success.

Romeo's comical friend was called mercutio
In Act 3 Scene 1 Benvolio is nervous, Mercutio is careless.
Benvolio tells Mercutio to retire because he senses a brewing confrontation between Mercutio and Tybalt, and wants to avoid any violence. Benvolio is concerned for their safety and tries to diffuse the situation by suggesting they leave.
He doesn't. Mercutio is not in that scene, and Benvolio and Romeo do not part company.
When Mercutio and Tybalt were beginning to argue, Benvolio tries to calm them down and see what the commotion is about. Q: Do you go to A. L. Brown? because my teacher made the same spelling error on the question. A: No.. everybody all around got the same worksheet Shame on your teacher!
Benvolio and Romeo went to the Capulets' party with Mercutio and other friends.
Benvolio serves as a foil for Mercutio because Benvolio is calm, level-headed, and seeks to avoid conflict, while Mercutio is impulsive, hot-tempered, and enjoys provoking others. This contrast highlights Mercutio's more extreme characteristics and adds depth to their relationship.
Benvolio and Mercutio spend a fair bit of time talking to each other. You will need to specify which line you are asking about.
