Falstaff appears in three Shakespeare plays: Henry IV 1 and 2, and The Merry Wives of Windsor. He is mentioned in Henry V early on, but doesn't actually appear onstage I believe.
Falstaff
Falstaff Otello
Unfortunately, by the time we run into him in Henry V, Falstaff is a corpse. He dies offstage and does not appear at all in that play, although his life and career are discussed by his friends. Falstaff is a major character in the two Henry IV plays and of course in The Merry Wives of Windsor, which is all about him. He is a fat, pleasure-loving knight who befriends Prince Hal, the young man who will become Henry V.
Shakespeare's most famous characters were the ones he used again and again in a number of plays. This would be Sir John Falstaff and his companions at the Boar's Head Tavern: Bardolph, Pistol, Nym and Mistress Quickly. This cast of characters appears in four plays: Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Henry V, where most of them die.
The quote does not appear in any Shakespeare play.

There is a legend that the Queen so enjoyed the character of Falstaff in the plays Henry IV Part 1 and Henry IV Part 2 that she encouraged him to write a further play about Falstaff, which Shakespeare did. It's called The Merry Wives of Windsor.
Mrs Page and Mrs Ford are characters in William Shakespeare's play "The Merry Wives of Windsor." They are both married women who are friends and central figures in the play's plot, as they become the target of Falstaff's attempts at seduction. They ultimately outsmart Falstaff and teach him a lesson.
One of the fantasies of readers of Shakespeare is that someone came up to Shakespeare and said, "You should write a play about Falstaff in love" or "You should write a play about Hamlet", or "You should write a play about witches and Scottish history". There is no evidence that anything of this kind ever happened. In particular, there is no evidence that any king or queen of England ever told Shakespeare how to do his job. Choosing the right story for his plays was Shakespeare's job. Like anyone else in the marketing business, he went with what was trending: his character of Falstaff was hugely popular so he wrote sequels; Hamlet was a proven stage play and revenge tragedies an established genre; Macbeth was written just after the Gunpowder Plot at a time when supporting the king would appear to be a politically correct and popular move. (Shakespeare seems to have miscalculated on this last one; the indications are that Macbeth was not a popular play with either the public or the court)

The English Cocker Spaniel is mentioned in Shakespeare's play "Henry IV, Part 2." In Act 3, Scene 2, the character Sir John Falstaff humorously refers to himself as a "cocker" in a metaphorical context, highlighting his roguish and playful personality. This reference reflects the traits associated with the breed, known for its lively and affectionate nature.
Puck, also known as Robin Goodfellow, appeared in William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
It's a history play.
Depends which play. Othello? Iago. Much Ado About Nothing? Don John. Henry IV Part 2? Falstaff.
