Luke Garroway: Forgive me my paternal panic. I tend to get a little nervous when you’re not in my immediate line of sight these days.

Clary Fairchild: Oh, yeah? How long do you think that’s going to go on for?

Luke Garroway: Not long. Five, maybe six years.

Clary Fairchild: Luke!

Luke Garroway: I plan to let you start dating when you’re thirty, if that helps.

Clary Fairchild: Actually, that doesn’t sound so bad. I may not be ready until I’m thirty.
