Alec Lightwood Quotes

Magnus Bane: I would help you. But I can’t. Stripping the protection wards off the ship was bad enough—it’s a strong, strong enchantment, demon-based—but when you fell, I had to put a fast spell on the truck so it wouldn’t sink when I lost consciousness. And I will lose consciousness, Alec. It’s just a matter of time. I didn’t want you to drown. The enchantment should hold enough for you to get the truck back to land.

Alec Lightwood: I—didn’t realize. Take my hands. And take my strength too. Whatever of it you can use to—to keep yourself going.

Magnus Bane: I thought you had to get back to the ship.

Alec Lightwood: I have to fight. But that’s what you’re doing, isn’t it? You’re part of the fight just as much as the Shadowhunters on the ship— and I know you can take some of my strength, I’ve heard of warlocks doing that—so I’m offering. Take it. It’s yours.

(Alec gets Clary’s new Fearless rune…)

Alec Lightwood: Mother. Father. There’s something I have to tell you. I’m seeing someone.

Robert Lightwood: Alec, this is hardly the time.

Alec Lightwood: Yes, it is. This is important. You see, I’m not just seeing anyone. I’m seeing a Downworlder. In fact, I’m seeing a war…

(Magnus stops him with a spell, no one notices…)

Maryse Lightwood: Alec!

Alec Lightwood: Wha—what—why am I on the floor?

Izzy Lightwood: That’s a good question. What was that?

Alec Lightwood: What was what? Wait—did I say anything? Before I passed out, I mean.

Jace Herondale: You know how we were wondering if that thing Clary did would work or not? It works all right.

Alec Lightwood: What did I say?

Robert Lightwood: You said you were seeing someone. Though you weren’t clear as to why that was important.

Alec Lightwood: It’s not. I mean, I’m not seeing anyone. And it’s not important. Or it wouldn’t be if I was seeing someone, which I’m not.

Magnus Bane: Alec’s been delirious. Side effect of some demon toxins. Most unfortunate, but he’ll be fine soon.

Clary Fairchild: You’re charging us? But Luke is a friend!

Magnus Bane: Not a friend of mine. I met him only on the few occasions when your mother brought him along when your memory spells were being refreshed. Did you think I was helping you out of the goodness of my heart? Or am I just the only warlock you happen to know?

Jace Herondale: No, but you are the only warlock we know who happens to be dating a friend of ours.

Alec Lightwood: Why would you say something like that?

Jace Herondale: Something like what?

Alec Lightwood: That I’m dating—that we’re—it’s not true.

Jace Herondale: I didn’t say he was dating you, but funny that you knew just what I meant, isn’t it?

Alec Lightwood: We’re not dating.

Magnus Bane: Oh? So you’re just that friendly with everybody, is that it?

Alec Lightwood: Magnus…

Jace Herondale: There is no chance I’m going to let you do this, Alec. I’ll wrestle you to the ground if I have to.

Magnus Bane: While that does sound tempting, there is another way.

Jace Herondale: What other way? This is a directive from the Clave. I can’t just weasel out of it.

Magnus Bane: But I can. Never doubt my weaseling abilities, Shadowhunter, for they are epic and memorable in their scope. I specifically enchanted the contract with the Inquisitor so that I could let you go for a short time if I desired, as long as another of the Nephilim was willing to take your place.

Alec Lightwood: Where are we going to find another—Oh… You mean me.

(Clary spills hot coffee at her hand…)

Simon Lewis: Let me see.

Clary Fairchild: It’s okay. No big deal.

(Simon kisses her hand…)

Simon Lewis: All better now.

Jace Herondale: You’re a Shadowhunter. You know how to deal with injuries. (He slides his stele across the table toward her.) Use it.

Clary Fairchild: No. (pushes the stele back across the table at him)

Jace Herondale: Clary…

Simon Lewis: She said she doesn’t want it. Ha-ha.

Jace Herondale: Ha-ha? That’s your comeback?

(Alec comes in…)

Alec Lightwood: What’s going on?

Magnus Bane: We seem to be trapped in an episode of One Life to Waste. It’s all very dull.

Magnus Bane: Hello, hello. Alec, my darling. Clary. And rat-boy. To what do I owe the pleasure?

Clary Fairchild: We came to see Jace. Is he all right?

Magnus Bane: I don’t know. Does he normally just lie on the floor like that without moving?

Alec Lightwood: What..! (Magnus laughs) That’s not funny.

Magnus Bane: You’re so easy to tease. And yes, your friend is just fine. Well, except that he keeps putting all my things away and trying to clean up. Now I can’t find anything. He’s compulsive.

Clary Fairchild (to Alec): So Magnus fixed you? Luke said…

Izzy Lightwood: He did! It was so awesome. He showed up and ordered everyone out of the room and shut the door. Blue and red sparks kept exploding out into the hallway from underneath the floor.

Alec Lightwood: I don’t remember any of it.

Izzy Lightwood: Then he sat by Alec’s bed all night and into the morning to make sure he woke up okay.

Alec Lightwood: I don’t remember that, either.

(Says Alec hastily and Izzy smiles)
