"He jests at scars that never felt a wound." - Romeo (2.2.1)
This line was said right after Mercutio started to make cracks at Romeo and Rosaline so that Mercutio and Benvolio can find Romeo. What this line says is that Mercutio's insults do not hurt him becasue he no longer loves Rosaline and furthermore does not care about her at all. The scars would be the memories of Rosaline and the wound would be the pain, but since he no longer loves Rosaline, those scars no longer hurt. Mercutio can not hear this line and gives up on trying to look for Romeo and leave, while Romeo climbs the Capulet wall to see his new love.
