-->"Nice work in there, Herondale, setting the place on fire," Gabriel observed. "Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the shreds of your reputation."
-->"Are you implying that the shreds of my reputation remain intact?" Will demanded with mock horror. "Clearly I have been doing something wrong. Or not doing something wrong, as the case may be." He banged on the side of the carriage. "Thomas! We must away to the nearest brothel! I seek scandal and low companionship."

** Also this conversation:
--> '''Gabriel''': You know, there was a time when I thought we could be friends.
--> '''Will''': There was a time when I thought I was a ferret, but that turned out to be the [[OpiumDen opium haze]]. Did you know it had that effect? 'Cause I didn't.
* This scene from ''The Clockwork Prince'':
--> “They’re not hideous,” said Tessa.
--> Will blinked at her. “What?”
--> “Gideon and Gabriel,” said Tessa. “They’re really quite good-looking, not hideous at all.”
--> “I spoke,” said Will, in sepulchral tones, “of the pitch-black inner depths of their souls.”
--> Tessa snorted. “And what color do you suppose the inner depths of your soul are, Will Herondale?”
--> “Mauve,” said Will.

* Tessa: "If you continue to see Six-fingered Nigel like this, he'll expect you to declare your intentions."
* Any time Will and Gabriel [[ArchEnemy open their mouths in each other's presence]], really.
** Tessa, meeting Gabriel for the first time:
-->"I," said Gabriel, "would rather have my entrails yanked out and tied in a knot in front of my own eyes than apologize to such a worm."
-->"Gracious," said Jem mildly. "You can't mean that. Not the Will being a worm part, of course. The bit about the entrails. That sounds dreadful."
-->"I do mean it," said Gabriel, warming to his subject. "I would rather be dropped in a vat of Malphas venom and be left to dissolve slowly until only my bones were left."
-->"Really," said Will. "Because I happen to know a chap who could sell us a vat of-"
** And later, after the raid-gone-wrong on the vampire house.
-->"Nice work in there, Herondale, setting the place on fire," Gabriel observed. "Good thing we were there to clean up after you, or the whole plan would have gone down in flames, along with the shreds of your reputation."
-->"Are you implying that the shreds of my reputation remain intact?" Will demanded with mock horror. "Clearly I have been doing something wrong. Or not doing something wrong, as the case may be."

* Will and his beloved Demon Pox.
-->“Demon pox, oh demon pox
-->Just how is it acquired?
-->One must go down to the bad part of town
-->Until one is very tired.
-->Demon pox, oh demon pox, I had it all along—
-->Not the pox, you foolish blocks,
-->I mean this very song—
-->For I was right, and you were wrong!"
** And later when Charlotte kicks him out of the room.
-->Will slid to the floor, his back against the armchair, and threw up his arms. "A demon pox on all your houses!" he announced, and yawned.
-->"Oh, God, weeks of pox jokes," said Jem. "We're in for it now.”
