However, Killfer manages to cling to a dangling rope and proposes to give Bond and Sharkey $ 2,000,000 if they help him back up, Bond instead throws the box of money in their face, which causes Killifer to let go and falls into the tub. full of sharks. While Killifer is being eaten by the sharks, Sharkey grimaces "God, what a terrible waste," and then turns to Bond, both with a smirk and says "of money".ù
