Line 8:
** "Coins are only valuable when they're rare... and Scrooge McDuck is the one who makes 'em rare!" (Don Rosa, "The Money Pit")
*** You're 40 years late. The original quote "And I'm the guy that makes 'em scarce!" comes from "Money Pit"s predecessor, the 1951 Carl Barks comic "The Trouble With Dimes". He's also the guy who thought of a money bin in the first place, back in '51.
* El Capitan was once, as his title implies, the captain of the ship full of gold that Scrooge and the boys discover in [[DuckTales (1987)|"Treasure of the Golden Suns: Part 2."]] It's never stated outright, but when the "Old Wheezer" is taking inventory of the ship, one of the triplets remarks, "Boy, he's actin' like he used ta own this ship!" Plus, later on, in Part 5, we find find out he's at least 400 years old. Well, just today this troper was watching Part 3, where the conquistador Joaquin Slowly explains his family history - how, 400 years ago, his ancestor Marching Slowly looted the Valley of the Golden Suns with a traveling companion, but the captain of their ship abandoned them and sailed away with the spoils. We then get a shot of the ship's captain - and it's a dog character who looks very much like a younger version of the El Capitan we're familiar with.
