Basically that "the beast" isn't something they can hunt or kill but an evil force inherit to the boys. It also tells Simon that he won't be able to escape and he will only find the beast among the other boys. Which comes true when the boys later kill Simon.

During his internalised conversation with 'The Lord of the Flies' Simon is really just talking to the darkness within himself, the part of himself that has the capacity to do evil. Essentially he is simply arguing and talking to himself during an epileptic fit. His inner evil tells him that, and I quote... "Fancy thinking that the beast was something that you could hunt and kill!... You knew, didn't you? That I'm part of you?" This was essentially just Simon confirming in his own mind what he's earlier said during a meeting, and I quote... "Maybe there is a beast... What I mean is... maybe it's only us."

Simon doesn't say a great deal during the Lord of the Flies but the few things he does say tend to have some importance. Perhaps the most important thing he does say is when he speaks to Ralph during the walk from castle rock towards the mountain. Simon says, and I quote... "You'll get back to where you came from."

'We could make scratches on bark and rub black stuff in.' (page 24)

'We used his specs ... He helped that way.' (page 42)

'What I mean is ... Maybe it's only us.' (page 96)

'I think we ought to climb the mountain' (page 141)

These are all the things Simon said during the book that I gathered when I read it, in chronological order and organized as best I could by conversation.

"I'll come."

"We could make scratches on bark, and rub black stuff in."

"I'm hungry."

"like candles. Candle bushes. Candle buds.

"Blue flowers-"

"We used his specs, he helped that way."

"Up a bit."

"Sorry."

"You're chief. You tell 'em off."

"As if it wasn't a good island."

"As if, the beastie, the beastie or the snake-thing, was real. Remember?"

"One side's broken."

"I wanted-to go to a place-a place I know."

"Just a place I know. A place in the jungle."

"Maybe, maybe there is a beast."

"I don't know, but…"

"What I mean is… maybe it's only us."

"We could be sort of…"

"What's the dirtiest thing there is?"

"Me. Simon."

"Go on being chief."

"You'll get back to where you came from."

"All the same. You'll get back all right. I think so anyways."

"No, I'm not. I just think you'll get back all right."

"I'll go if you like. I don't mind, honestly."

"I thought there might be something to do. Something we-"

"I think we ought to climb the mountain."

"What else is there to do?"

"I know that.

"Pig's head on a stick."

"What else is there to do?"

Simon says, "I think we ought to climb the mountain." When he is asked what the point is when Ralph, Jack and Roger had already been up there, he replies, "What else is there to do?"

Simon told Ralph... "You'll get back where you came from." When Ralph questioned this remark Simon repeated twice more.. "I just think that you'll get back all right."
