Clary: Jace thinks my brother is a lost cause, so...
"Sebastian": What do you think?
Clary: I mean I understand he has demon blood. I know what he's capable of, but he's my brother. God, it's stupid, right?
Sebastian: No. No, God it's not stupid at all.
Clary: I mean if there is any humanity left in him; shouldn't we at least try to save him?
Sebastian: I think so.
[He kisses her]
Clary: Sebastian!
Sebastian: I'm sorry, I was stupid.
Clary: It's just...I'm not.
Sebastian: Look, I get it. I just want you to know that I will...I'll always be there for you, Clary. Whatever you need.

Max: What are you doing?
"Sebastian": Hey! Buddy. Don't mind me. I'm just looking for something for the boss. How's the training going? What's the matter?
[Max lifts up a glowing strand of hair]
Max: I found a single hair at the bottom of the box. You're him. You're Jonathan.

Jonathan: My sister is different.
Valentine: Yes, she is. If you had the chance to meet Clarissa, spend some time with her.
Jonathan: So, you're acting like I'll never see her again?
Valentine: Of course you will. You have my word. One day we will all be together as a family. But right now...right now I need you to trust me.
Jonathan: Trust you? It goes both ways.
[Pulls out Valentine's dagger]
Jonathan: I found this under your pillow.
Valentine: Force of habit...that's all.
Jonathan: Is it?
Valentine: I'm a wanted man, I must always be prepared. Soon I will no longer be regarded as the enemy; I will be seen as a hero. So will you. Isn't that what you want?
Jonathan: Yes. Yes, it is.
Valentine: Good. We're gonna achieve great things, Jonathan.

Isabelle: You're not sending our little brother out into the field!
Alec: You know better than anyone how good Max is. His simulation scores are off the charts.
Isabelle: That's a simulation; I'm talking about the real world.
Alec: Max has had his Rune ceremony. It's standard to get orders after that, just like we did when we were his age.
Isabelle: it was different back then. We weren't fighting Valentine.
Alec: Izzy...
Isabelle: You weren't there that night with Kayleigh. He came this close to dying.
Alec: Max is a soldier. It's time we start treating him like one.

Maia: That's really sweet of you, but I can't. I'm busy.
Simon: I didn't give you a date yet.
Maia: Right...I'm working a lot of doubles this week, and I've got reading for class. I just can't, it's not a good time right now.
[Maia pours a drink]
Simon: Not a good time to go boating or not a good time to go on a date with me?
Maia: I mean, I had a lot of fun at your family dinner, but just as friends.
Simon: Oh, no, yea, I'm sorry. I totally read that situation wrong, but what else is new. Is this about Clary? Because you know that's past tense.
Maia: It's not about Clary. I like you and I like spending time with you, but just as friends.
Simon: Right. Friends.

Alec: Dad, just tell me.
Robert: You cannot repeat this secret to anyone. Not even Magnus. Promise me, Alec.
Alec: I can't promise that. You either trust me to be a leader or you don't.
Robert: The Clave lied about the Soul Sword. They never recovered it from Valentine's attack on the Institute. They don't have it. They never did.
Alec: Then who does?

Ethereal wasn't talking about you. He was talking about my brother. He's still alive.

Clary

Jonathan: See, I may be grotesque in my own skin, but with it I have power that you could only dream of.
Valentine: Then why keep the Verlac boy's visage if you're weaker for it?
Jonathan: I think it rather suits me, don't you? As so does the accent. A bit more charming than a demonic beast with burnt flesh.
Valentine: Jonathan, I know what I did to you was horrific, but let me make it up to you. Azazel was after the Mortal Cup. Unchain me and it's yours.
Jonathan: You still don't understand, do you? See, I don't give a damn about your Mortal Instruments. I used Azazel to stage an attack against the Lightwood girl in order to gain access to the Institute. Whatever he did after that, however amusing, was none of my concern.
Valentine: And then you wouldn't take me here to just torture me to death? So what are you planning?
Jonathan: Don't worry, Father. You'll find out soon enough.

Elaine: Alright, you're next Simon.
Simon: I did a lot of bad stuff this year. But, I think I can move past it. I'm not gonna let it ruin my life.
Rebecca: So, what did you do? Did you double park the van? Did you smoke weed?
Simon: I, umm...
Maia: Worse. I got us tickets to go to a Blade Runner marathon and he ditched me for another girl.
[Elaine and Rebecca gasp, Maia gives Simon a cheeky smile]

Jonathan: I've spent years clinging to my memories of freedom, imagining what I'd feel when I finally made it back. Would I be happy? Angry? As hard as I tried, I could never quite picture it. In the end I felt nothing, just the unforgiving cold of the winter air.
[He pushes Valentine forward]
Jonathan: I guess it's true what they say. You can never go back home.

Luke: Plasma?
[Simon nods]
Luke: Yea. You gotta be careful, Simon.
Simon: I know.
Luke: That stuff is strong.
Simon: I know, it's just a one time thing. I went out with a couple of friends and got a little carried away.
Luke: It's understandable. Clary told me what happened. Listen, I just want you to know, whatever is going on between you two, I'm always here for you. You're the closest thing to a son I've got. Whether you like it or not.
Simon: So, I'm not grounded?
Luke: Don't push your luck.
[Simon gets a headache]
Simon: It feels like Metallica is rehearsing in my head.
Luke: Nothing a little sleep can't fix.

Clary: I love you.
Simon: Don't...don't do that.
Clary: Why?
Simon: Because you don't mean it the way I mean it! You never have. Ever since we were kids, I've been in love with you. Every minute of every day. You're the first person I thought of when I woke up. Always have been. If the Seelie Queen had asked that question, "kiss the one you most desire," no one would have even come close. There's something between you and Jace, and you can't deny it.
Clary: I don't know. Maybe...maybe deep down...but Simon, there's nothing like you and me. It's nothing like it.
Simon: But it's enough...enough for me to know. Kissing you, trying to be more than friends...it was a mistake.

It's your 18th birthday. Everything's going to change for you now.

Clary: Simon, how could someone as smart and perceptive as you not realize the person sitting right there is in love with you?
Simon: I guarantee you I'm not the only smart, perceptive person to make that mistake.
