What is a quote the nurse told Juliet when she found out about the affair?

In Act 2 Scene 5 of the play 'Romeo and Juliet' by William Shakespeare, Juliet is alone waiting for the Nurse to come home. Like every impatient young person waiting for news, she grows more impatient and cross by the minute. Shakespeare is building tension and suspense, and helping to draw Juliet's personality for us - and the Nurse will pick up on that in her quote to make sure we 'get it' that not only Juliet but Romeo also, are impetuous and impulsive in their wish to be together. The poor Nurse finally arrives all out of breath and hot from the Verona weather. She complains of her tiredness and then starts to tease Juliet by protracting the story of her meeting with Romeo. At last,among other things, she says in response to Juliet's loss of temper 'O God's lady dear, are you so hot?' Then she finally tells her the plan.
