Luke: [dryly] Yeah!

Jace Wayland: Next time, it might be a nice idea to mention that you already have a man in your bed, so we can avoid such uncomfortable situations.

Simon Lewis: You invited him to bed?

Jace Wayland: I know, it's ridiculous, isn't it? We would never have all fit.

Clary Fray: I didn't invite him into bed. We were just kissing.

Jace Wayland: How swiftly you dismiss our love.

Clary Fray: You play that piano as if you've lost your only love.

Jace Wayland: Unfortunately, my one true love remains myself.

Clary Fray: Well, at least you don't have to worry about rejection.

Jace Wayland: Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting

Isabelle Lightwood: [to Clary] Go, you've done enough!

Jace Wayland: Don't speak to her like that! It's not her fault.

Isabelle Lightwood: You're right, this is your fault!

Jace Wayland: Isabelle!

Isabelle Lightwood: Alec kept telling you that you were going to get hurt. That you were going to get us all hurt. Now he's the one dying.

Jace Wayland: But, we needed to get the Mortal Cup!

Isabelle Lightwood: But there are other ways to get it then getting your best friend killed!

Jace Wayland: We agreed... to do this together. We're a team!

Isabelle Lightwood: Since Clary got here, we haven't been a team!

Simon Lewis: So that's the famous cup everyone's talking about?

Isabelle Lightwood: A replica. But yes.

Simon Lewis: You know, Jace has got a real chip on his shoulder.

Isabelle Lightwood: You would, too, if you saw your father murdered when you were a child. If it weren't for him we'd be dead. He saved our lives more times than I care to admit. Right...

Clary Fray: This is the part where you start tearing off pieces of your shirt to bind my wounds.

Jace Wayland: If you wanted me to take my clothes off, you should have just asked.

Clary Fray: This is a top.

Isabelle Lightwood: It's a dress.

Clary Fray: I can't pull this off.

Isabelle Lightwood: Well, actually with the right shoes...

Clary Fray: No. I mean, this dress is so tight, it's like a second skin.

Isabelle Lightwood: If you go looking like your mundane self we won't get within 100 feet of Magnus Bane. He's the High Warlock of Brooklyn. Stop complaining, come with me.

Isabelle Lightwood: That guy Alec is my brother.

Clary Fray: Does Jace know how Alec feels about him?

Isabelle Lightwood: Is it that obvious?

Clary Fray: It's really not that big of a deal.

Isabelle Lightwood: It isn't to me, either. But it is to the Clave. I don't make the rules.

Clary Fray: How is being dressed like a hooker going to help me find my mom?

Isabelle Lightwood: Easy now, those are my clothes.

Isabelle Lightwood: Doesn't she look great, Alec?

Alec Lightwood: She looks like someone whose phone number should be on a bathroom wall.

Jace Wayland: [introduces himself] Jace Wayland, demon hunter.

Simon Lewis: Ah... Simon Lewis, Keymaster. Are you the Gatekeeper?

Jace Wayland: I have no idea what you're talking about.

Clary Fray: [to Dorothea] Wait, you can see this guy?

Jace Wayland: Of course she can, she's a witch.

[pushing their way in]

Jace Wayland: Downgraded from a gingerbread house to a one-bedroom?

[last lines]

Clary Fray: I just don't know how to look at the world anymore. I don't see street and traffic lights and cars. I see demons and angels. Everything's different.

Jace Wayland: The world's the same. You're the one who's different.

Jace Wayland: [starts his motorcycle] Don't you remember what Hodge said?

Clary Fray: What?

Jace Wayland: All the stories are true.

[they ride off together]

Isabelle Lightwood: This place is full of demons.

Luke: That's impossible. The Institute is hallowed ground.

[smashes Jace's head twice into the piano tangents]

Valentine Morgenstern: Johann would be very proud.

[Clary shows Simon the strange sketches she drew]

Clary Fray: Look. Suddenly, I'm drawing hundreds of these things and I have no idea what they are. I don't know... I think I'm going out of my mind.

Simon Lewis: Maybe you're like the guy in "Close Encounters". Everybody thought he was paranoid and then it turned out to be, well... UFO... reasonable...

[Clary notices Jace, standing outside the cafe, looking directly at her]

Clary Fray: Oh God, this isn't happening.
