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.

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'!
