am fire, I am death."

"I kill where I wish and none dare resist."

"My armor is like ten shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"

Outside the mountain, it is night; we see the great doors of Erebor closed and shut. Suddenly, the side of the mountain breaks as an enraged Smaug smashes his way out. He flaps his wings and lifts off into the sky, spinning and causing the remaining gold on him to fall off in a golden shimmer. He swoops off toward Laketown.

Smaug soars through the air toward Laketown, talking to himself.

"I am fire. I am... DEATH!"

The dragon was full of anger, why wouldn't it be? He was Smaug, the most fearsome dragon in all of Middle-earth. He was one of the last great dragons the world had ever known.

He, a dragon created by the Dark Lord Melkor himself to be the most powerful of his tools of war and destruction, created to lead his armies and cause destruction

His name inspired terror throughout the world, oh the cursed Dwarves had discovered him when he came to their mountain full of gold and killed all their people.

Smaug continues his reign of terror on the town by breathing fire everywhere he flies
We see the Master of Lake-town and Alfrid are trying to escape with their treasures as Smaug is flying in to attack Lake-town!

"I warned you! Did I not warn you what would come of dealing with Dwarves? Now they've done it! They've woken the dragon; they've brought the apocalypse upon our heads! Come on, quickly, quickly! Faster now, I'm trying to evacuate myself here! Careful with that. Never mind the books! Get on, get the rest of it."

"but, Sire, should we not try to save the town?"

"the town is lost, save the gold!"

The people of Lake-town are in a frenzy as Smaug flies down to exact his revenge

A lake-towner, "pile 'em up!"

Tauriel and Bane try to help Bard's children escape as Smaug is about to attack

  "we have no time, we must leave." Tauriel says

"get him up. Come on, brother. Come on, come on, let's go."

"I'm fine, I can walk."

Tauriel and Bane turn to the kids.

"we need to leave!"

"go as fast as you can."

"we're not leaving, not without our father."

"if you stay here, your sisters will die. Is that what your father would want?"

"we need to leave. If your father survives, we'll find him."

The Master of the town is on his large boat with Alfrid.

Master of Lake-town, "come on! Come On! Faster! Faster!"

Master of Lake-town, "if only we could take more of these poor people with us. But they're hardly worth it.

"I quite agree."

He kicks a man as he tries to climb onto their boat; referring to the Master's boat as it approaches their path

"look out!"

suddenly the Master's boat hits their smaller one; to his men rowing the boat

"move it! Move it! Come on! Faster!"
