- Jace Wayland: First rule of shadowhunting... when something explodes, just keep walking. Never think twice. Never look away.
- Clary Fray: And what's the second rule?
- Isabelle Lightwood: There's nothing a shadowhunter can't do in heels.
- Lydia Branwell: We will need to make sure no magic was used to make this. I'm calling the nearest high warlock to come in to consult.
- Alec Lightwood: Magnus Bane?
- [slight stammer]
- Alec Lightwood: To come here to the institute?
- Lydia Branwell: Yes, is there a problem?
- Alec Lightwood: No. Not at all. Magnus is, um... quite magical. He's... uh... very... very good at magic.
- Lydia Branwell: Do you know him well?
- Alec Lightwood: Uh,just a little.
- Lydia Branwell: I actually can't wait to meet him. Did you know that my great ancestor, Henry Branwell, who was the last of Branwells to run an institute and Magnus Bane invented the portal?
- Jace Wayland: [At Simon's burial] That mundane's a fighter. He survived the vampires at hotel Dumort. He survived the werewolves at Jade Wolf. He survived accounting... for whatever its worth.
- Clary Fray: [slight smile] He's a fighter, isn't he? Look I know you think emotions cloud judgement and that whole falcon story, I... I don't think I'll be able to wrap my head around that but... all of that contradicts the first rule of being a mundane.
- Jace Wayland: What's the first rule of being a mundane?
- Clary Fray: It's that love makes you stronger.
- Clary Fray: So I can have Simon back. Alive and breathing?
- Isabelle Lightwood: That's just it. He won't return alive or breathing. He will be a vampire.
- Jace Wayland: And not the sexed-up, romantic kind. The ugly, blood-sucking, coffin-dwelling kind.
- Raphael Santiago: That's offensive.
- Jace Wayland: Really?
- Raphael Santiago: Coffin implies wooden box. We have caskets now. They are made of 14 karat gold.
- Jace Wayland: My bad.
- Jace Wayland: Third rule of shadowhunting; emotions cloud judgement.
- Clary Fray: Jace... If being a shadowhunter means i have to be dead inside... I'm not sure I want to be one.
- Alec Lightwood: Magnus...
- [Magnus starring at him]
- Magnus Bane: [snaps out of his fantasy] Okay I'm back.
- [Alec goes to put on his tee shirt]
- Magnus Bane: Oh you don't have to get dressed up for me.
- [Alec looking at him]
- Magnus Bane: Fine. But I liked what I saw.
- Isabelle Lightwood: My brother is right. The cup is extremely important.
- Alec Lightwood: Are you agreeing with me?
- Isabelle Lightwood: I'm full of surprises.
- Clary Fray: Alec i realised i couldn't have done any of this without your help. I wanna thank you.
- Alec Lightwood: Don't misread this as friendship.
- Lydia Branwell: Valentine's daughter...
- Isabelle Lightwood: Isn't she also your cousin?
- Lydia Branwell: Distant cousin.
- Elaine Lewis: Simon got me this
- [gesturing to the miniature monkey in her hand]
- Elaine Lewis: for Mother's day... You know,'cause he's my little... monkey.
- Isabelle Lightwood: I'm not a fan.
- Alec Lightwood: Jealous?
- Isabelle Lightwood: No.
- Isabelle Lightwood: Maybe.
- Isabelle Lightwood: How the hell did she catch that arrow?
- Lydia Branwell: I can see why all the girls in Idris are clamoring to meet you.
- Alec Lightwood: What do you mean?
- Lydia Branwell: Rumour has it you're looking to settle down- get married.
- Alec Lightwood: Damn it.
- Lydia Branwell: Let me guess - not your idea?
- Alec Lightwood: Not even close.
- Lydia Branwell: [to Luke] Look I know I can come across... abrasive. But we're all on the same side here.
- Magnus Bane: It's just so hard to tell if Alexander is even interested. I mean, I can't fathom why he wouldn't be.
- Isabelle Lightwood: I'm not sure you noticed but my brother is not exactly warm and fuzzy.
- Magnus Bane: Hmmm I suppose... With Clary's arrival
- Isabelle Lightwood: And Valentine's return...
- Magnus Bane: Mmm-hmmm. Running the institute...
- Isabelle Lightwood: The envoy from the Clave...
- Magnus Bane: Oh, who i hear is very impressive. What else? Oh, Babysitting Jace.
- Isabelle Lightwood: And dealing with our parents who are trying to find him a wife.
- [Magnus looks at her speechless]
- Maryse Lightwood: The Clave is handling things.
- Robert Lightwood: Oh that's a joke, Maryse. You and I both know how the Clave handles things.
- Isabelle Lightwood: Sorry.
- Magnus Bane: It's quite all right. I suppose Alec's just following his duty.
- Isabelle Lightwood: Not everyone gets the luxury of following their heart.
- Maryse Lightwood: There are rumours that local shadowhunters have been interfering in Downworlder affairs. But you two wouldn't know anything about that, right?
- Isabelle Lightwood: Nope.
- Alec Lightwood: Nada.
- Raphael Santiago: Once reborn, you emerge hungry.
- [Simon gulping down all the blood packs thrown at him]
- Raphael Santiago: Very hungry.
- Lydia Branwell: Piece of advice; in this line of work, the only thing worth falling in love with is the work itself.
- Jace Wayland: This is a bad idea. Promise me you won't tell a mundane that Simon was bitten by a vampire.
- Clary Fray: I promise.
- Jace Wayland: Good. cause part of our jobs as shadowhunters is making sure that mundanes don't...
- Clary Fray: know the truth?
- Jace Wayland: Would you stop for a second and think about what you're doing?
- Clary Fray: I am, Jace,okay? It's like my brain is telling me to do one thing and my heart another and...
- Alec Lightwood: Magnus, It's like my whole life has been a lie. Everything i have ever known...
- Magnus Bane: it's not what you thought?
- Clary Fray: [Talking to the fledgling Simon] When your grandfather gave you this at your bar mitzvah, you told me how much it meant to you. It was a symbol of the day you became a man. Simon...
- [starts sobbing]
- Clary Fray: Simon, no matter what happens... no matter what... you become... you will always be that man to me.
- Alec Lightwood: The law is hard but it is the law, and I respect that. But I've realised that i have to listen to my heart.
- Lydia Branwell: Lets not forget where that got me.
- Alec Lightwood: I know. And I can't bring John back. But like you said, our families have been strong allies. And we could use that to our advantage. Together we can restore my family name and we can keep the Institute.
- Lydia Branwell: And we'd get to run it.
- Alec Lightwood: [gets down on one knee] Lydia Branwell, will you marry me,Alec Lightwood?
