"I think we ought to climb the mountain."
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.
Excited because they feel that until they are inevitably rescued they can have a good time, as they are on a "good island."
I've already read the book, and i believe that the fire at the top of the mountain kept him civilized, and the fact that he was the "leader" of the group, but also his eeling that they were gonna get rescued. Thats what I think.
