“‘In the future, Clarissa,’ he said. ‘it might be wise to mention that you already have a man in your, to avoid such tedious situations.’
‘You invited him into bed?’ Simon demanded, looking shaken.
‘Ridiculous, isn’t it?’ said Jace. We would never have all fit.'”

“‘You guessed? You must have been pretty sure, considering you could have killed me.’
‘I was ninety percent sure.’
‘I see,’ Clary said. There must have been something in her voice, because he turned to look at her. Her hand cracked across his face, a slap that rocked him back on his heels. He put his hands on his cheek, more in surprise than pain.
‘What the hell was that for?’
‘The other ten percent.'”

“The padlock hit the ground with a clang, a twisted lump of metal. Jace looked pleased with himself. “As usual,” he said, “I’m amazingly good at that.”
Clary felt suddenly annoyed. “When the self-congratulatory part of the evenings over, maybe we can get back to saving my best friend from being exasaguinated to death?”
“Exasanguinated,” said Jace impressed. “That’s a big word.”
“And your a big-”
” Tsk tsk,” he interrupted. “No swearing in church.”
“We’re not in the church yet,” Clary muttered.”

“One of the Silent Brothers is here to see you. Hodge sent me to wake you up. Actually, he offered to wake you himself, but since it’s 5 a.m., I figured you’d be less cranky if you had something nice to look at.’
‘Meaning you?’
‘What else?'”

“Can I help you with something?”
Clary turned instant traitor against her gender. “Those girls on the other side of the car are staring at you.”
Jace assumed an air of mellow gratification. “Of course they are,” he said, “I am stunningly attractive.”

“Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?”
“If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked.”

“Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet?’
Jace said, “Unfortunately, Lady of the Haven, my one true love remains myself.”
…”At least,” she said, “you don’t have to worry about rejection, Jace Wayland.”
“Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting.”

“I don’t want tea,” said Clary, with muffled force. “I want to find my mother. And then I want to find out who took her in the first place, and I want to kill them.”
“Unfortunately,” said Hodge, “we’re all out of bitter revenge at the moment, so it’s either tea or nothing.”

Clary: “What’s with the ‘hey’ thing?”
Simon: “What ‘hey’ thing?”
Clary: “The ‘hey’ thing that guys always do. Like when you saw Jace and Alec, you said ‘hey,’ and they said ‘hey’ back. What’s wrong with ‘hello’?”
Simon: “‘Hello’ is girly,” he informed her. “Real men are terse. Laconic.”
Clary: “So the more manly you are, the less you say?”
Simon: “Right. That’s why when the major badasses greet each other in movies,they don’t say anything, they just nod. The nod means, ‘I am a badass, and I recognize that you, too, are a badass,’ but they don’t say anything because they’re Wolverine and Magneto and it would mess up their vibe to explain.”
Jace: ” I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
