After Monty's girlfriend Jennifer invited Beatrice to play at Thanksgiving:
Jennifer: Let's pretend.
B: Okay! You're a horse and I'm seven.

Beatrice asked me what the word "continue" means. I gave her some examples, like continuing to run, or jump, or sleep.
B: Oh, so you could say, 'Continue staying in the house if there's a predator outside.'

"Were pteranadons and sauropods friends? Look it up!"
From Arthur:
"I love Buzz Aldrin! I want to lick him."

Summer: Who does Mommy love?
Arthur (confidently): Gorillas.

"That cheetah's name is Cheetah and his middle name is Cheetah."
---
Arthur demanded that I pick him up and hold him, standing, in the middle of his bedroom.
Summer: Why?
Arthur: I want what I want!

Arthur, refusing to eat his toast with honey on it: "Humans don't eat honey! Bears eat honey!"
And together:
B: Arthur, we need to have a little talk. You knocked down the picture of Shackleton.
A: I'm sorry, I just love to knock down things.

Beatrice and Arthur couldn't agree about which park to go to.
Beatrice: Arthur, we have to be on the same page about the pirate park!

Arthur often says edgy, controversial things just to get a rise out of Beatrice. For example,
A: I hate trees! Trees are stupid!
B (scandalized): Arthur, you have to give them love! They're making us air!
