Magnus Bane Quotes

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: Oh, I’m OK.

Alec Lightwood: OK.

Magnus Bane: You’re OK.

Alec Lightwood: And let you hog all the glory?

Magnus Bane: Maybe.

Alec Lightwood: As long as you’re here, I’m not going anywhere.

Magnus Bane: Asmodeus is my father. Look, I’m sorry I never told you. I was ashamed.

Alec Lightwood: I knew every warlock had a demon parent, it’s just… Asmodeus?

Magnus Bane: Oh, just because you’re the only Shadowhunter at a party full of warlocks doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.

Alec Lightwood: Yeah, well, that’s easy for you to say. You’ve known these people for centuries.

Magnus Bane: And you think that’s a good thing? Trust me, I don’t want to be here any longer than I have to…
