This is a misquotation of Gertude's line in Hamlet, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." She is watching a play in which a woman swears up and down she will never remarry and does so immediately on her husband's death. The line is ironic since Gertrude herself did exactly what the woman in the play did. The line has come to be quoted (or as often or not, misquoted) to describe someone who is a little too insistent, and so is not believable.

What does Gertrude's think of Hamlet behavior?
The only thing that Gertrude says is, "The lady protests too much, methinks," after Hamlet asks her, "Madam, how like you this play?" The "lady" that she is talking about is the Queen of King Gonzago in The Murder of Gonzago. Gonzago tells his Queen that he will die soon, and says that he hopes the Queen will find a second husband who loves her as much as he does. In response to that, the Queen (who Gertrude calls "the lady") goes on and on about how horrible it is for a widow to take a second husband. Gertrude's comment, "The lady protests too much, methinks," means that the Queen of Gonzago is being melodramatic and unrealistic.
