Clary Fairchild Quotes

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…

Quote from The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes | 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.

Luke Garroway (about Simon): Clary, I’m telling you he made his own decisions. What you’re blaming yourself for is being what you are. And that’s no one’s fault and nothing you can change. You told him the truth and he made up his own mind what he wanted to do about that. Everyone has choices to make; no one has the right to take those choices away from us. Not even out of love.

Clary Fairchild: But that’s just it. When you love someone, you don’t have a choice. Love takes your choices away.

Luke Garroway: It’s a lot better than the alternative.

Clary Fairchild: If you just want to study a Shadowhunter, I won’t be much use to you. I don’t know anything about Shadowhunting. I hardly have any training. I’m the wrong person to pick.

Seelie Queen: In truth, Clarissa Morgenstern, you are precisely the right person. Thanks to the changes your father worked in you, you are not like other Shadowhunters. Your gifts are different.

Clary Fairchild: My gifts?

Seelie Queen: Yours is the gift of words that cannot be spoken, and your brother’s is the Angel’s own gift. Your father made sure of it, when your brother was a child and before you were ever born.

Izzy Lightwood: How did you get Magnus to let Jace leave?

Clary Fairchild: Traded him for Alec.

(Isabelle looks mildly alarmed.)

Izzy Lightwood: Not permanently?

Jace Herondale: No. Just for a few hours. Unless I don’t come back. In which case, maybe he does get to keep Alec. Think of it as a lease with an option to buy.

Izzy Lightwood: Mom and Dad won’t be pleased if they find out.

Simon Lewis: That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? No, probably not.

(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.

Luke Garroway (to Clary): There is something you should have. Something every Shadowhunter should have.

Simon Lewis: An obnoxious, arrogant attitude?

Luke Garroway: A stele. Every Shadowhunter should have a stele.

Clary Fairchild: Do you have one?

(Luke brings out a stele and puts it on the table…)

Clary Fairchild: Pretty.

Luke Garroway: I’m glad you think so, because I want you to have it.

Clary Fairchild: Have it? But it’s yours, isn’t it?

Luke Garroway: This was your mother’s. She didn’t want to keep it

at the apartment in case you happened across it, so she asked me to hold

on to it for her.

(Clary picks up the stele…)

Clary Fairchild: I can have it?

Luke Garroway: Sure. It’s an old model, of course, almost twenty years out of date. They may have refined the designs since. Still, it’s reliable enough.

Simon Lewis: It’s really weird thinking of Luke as someone who was once a Shadowhunter. Weirder than it is thinking of him as a werewolf.

Clary Fairchild: Really? Why?

Simon Lewis: I’ve heard of werewolves before. They’re sort of a known element. So he turns into a wolf once a month, so what. But the Shadowhunter thing—they’re like a cult.

Clary Fairchild: They’re not like a cult.

Simon Lewis: Sure they are. Shadowhunting is their whole lives. And they look down on everyone else. They call us mundanes. Like they’re not human beings. They’re not friends with ordinary people, they don’t go to the same places, they don’t know the same jokes, they think they’re above us.
