Answer:

She playfully points out that Nurse could have told her the news with the energy she used excusing herself.

Explanation:

The nurse sees exactly how much Juliet looking forward to this news. Further, the nurse definitely realizes the news is great; hence, she demonstrates her marvelous comical inclination by making Juliet sit tight for it. Much further, the nurse gets joy out of hearing Juliet's responses:

Juliet. What says he of our marriage? What of that?

Nurse. Lord, how my head aches! What a head have I! / It beats as it would fall in twenty pieces. / My back o' t' other side--ah, my back, my back! / Beshrew your heart for sending me about / To catch my death with jauncing up and down!

Juliet. I' faith, I am sorry that thou art not well. /Sweet, sweet, sweet nurse, tell me, what says my love?

Nurse. Your love says, like an honest gentleman, and a courteous, and a kind, and a handsome, and, I warrant, a virtuous--Where is your mother?

Juliet. Where is my mother? Why, she is within. / Where should she be? How oddly thou repliest! / "Your love says, like an honest gentleman, 'Where is your mother?'"
