Lady Macbeth says it I think, when she is encouraging him to kill the King. Macbeth tells her he is coming to stay over at their castle and she tells him to be nice and friendly to his face whilst plotting his death like the serpent under the flower.
if i remember correctly, it's when lady macbeth is telling macbeth about the plan around about in the middle - can't remember page numbers or acts/scenes though..
