He is talking to his sister and said something like "get ye to a nunery..."

where is that from! Please help... my sanity depends on it!

OPHELIA: I was the more deceived.

HAMLET: Get thee to a nunnery: why wouldst thou be a
breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest;
but yet I could accuse me of such things that it
were better my mother had not borne me: I am very
proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at
my beck than I have thoughts to put them in,
imagination to give them shape, or time to act them
in. What should such fellows as I do crawling
between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves,
all; believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery.
Where's your father?

~Hamlet-act III, sc. 1.

There are other instances where Will used "nunnery" but this is what you are looking for.

BINGO

so common and well known... yet it was like a song buzzing around in my head ...
enough to drive you crazy!

Thank you
