Alec Lightwood Quotes

Alec Lightwood: It's been hundreds of years since you banished your father. What makes you think he'll even listen to your request?

Magnus Bane: Let's just say he owes me one.

Alec Lightwood: For what happened with your mother?

Magnus Bane: That... and for everything in the years that followed. I was living on the streets. I didn't know who or what I was. Asmodeus took me in. Nurtured my darker impulses. And taught me the "proper" way to be a warlock.

Alec Lightwood: And why'd you listen to him?

Magnus Bane: Because he was the only one in the world with eyes like me. He was my father.

Alec Lightwood: What is all that?

Magnus Bane: Each of those belonged to someone I loved and outlived. A different committed relationship for each one.

Alec Lightwood: Why do you keep it?

Magnus Bane: I may be magical, but my memory's far from it. I keep those mementos to remember them by. Look, Alec, you know my history. I've always been honest with you about that.

Alec Lightwood: Well... Now that I've seen some of that history with my own eyes, I can't help but think... if I'm lucky, maybe one of my arrowheads ends up in that box.

Magnus Bane: Look, I don't even want to think about you being gone...

Alec Lightwood: But one day I will be. And you'll just, move on...

Magnus Bane: I'm immortal! It's not as if I have a choice! I can't change what I am, and neither can you! Look... can we just stay in the here and now? Hmm? Look, I want to cherish this moment... with the one I love.

Alec Lightwood: You're right. I love you, too.

Alec Lightwood: It's just I was thinking that it wouldn't be an issue if I didn't have to go back and forth so much. I mean I spend almost every night here. So, what if I... moved in? Bad idea?

Magnus Bane: No! It's... a wonderful idea. For the future.

Alec Lightwood: OK. Um... You know, I just thought...

Magnus Bane: We've been seeing each other for less than two months. Alexander, once we move in together, our relationship will change.

Alec Lightwood: Yeah. We'll be even closer.

Magnus Bane: There's no such thing. If there's one thing I've learned in the... course of my long life... it's to take your time, ok?

Magnus Bane: Not to be an overeager warlock boyfriend, but... need a hand?

Alec Lightwood: You help me all the time. If I came to you every time I had a problem...

Magnus Bane: We'll spend more time together. Oh, the torture. Look, after I get some food in you, I'll come to the Institute and examine Morgan. See if my magic can shed some light on things.

Alec Lightwood: Thank you. But with this... I just...

Magnus Bane: We'll make it through this. OK? One step at a time.

Alec Lightwood: Remember, my mother is on edge and that means avoiding any sensitive subjects, like my dad, or like that I turned down that job at the Clave.

Magnus Bane: Or the fact that you're dating a dastardly warlock? Hmm?

Alec Lightwood: I'm sorry. Am I being terrible?

Magnus Bane: No, no, no. You're just tense. Here. Drink this. (hands him a glass of wine, Alec downs it)

Alec Lightwood: I'm OK. You're OK?

Magnus Bane: Oh, I'm OK.

Alec Lightwood: OK.

Magnus Bane: You're OK.
