Captain Nemo:
You were sent to get food, not treasure! You can't eat pieces of eight!

Ned Land:
Eat? I can eat any time——

Captain Nemo:
You place an absurd value on the cheapest of human commodities. Aboard the Nautilus we use such baubles for ballast.

[Nemo strolls over and opens a hatch to reveal a walk-in locker full of gold treasure. Ned stares.]

Ned Land:
Ballast... [walks over and pulls a gilted item from the pile, smiling] ...I sure could lighten this ship!

Captain Nemo:
[snatching the piece and depositing it back in the closet] The greatest treasures of all, Mister Land, are a sound mind and a full belly. I hope you remember that before stooping to pick up pennies.

Ned Land:
You've been pickin' them up. And pickin' them up good! '...Ballast'!
