CAPULET
How now, my headstrong! where have you been gadding?
JULIET
Where I have learn'd me to repent the sin
Of disobedient opposition
To you and your behests, and am enjoin'd
By holy Laurence to fall prostrate here,
And beg your pardon: pardon, I beseech you!
Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.
(4.2.5)

Juliet tells her father what he wants to hear: that she will be obedient and do what he wants her to do. She even fibs that she's been off at Friar Laurence's cell, confessing her sins (being a disobedient daughter).
