Is There an Overkill on Bribes?

I'm looking at the Final Fantasy X bribes bestiary.
Each bribe amount is followed by parenthesis. What does that mean?
For example, the Chimera Brain's bribe field reads: 196,000 Lv. 4 Key Sphere x 1(2)
Is there an Overkill for bribes or something? I just keep getting 1 every time I try.
Best Answer
Bribe doesn't overkill, if they accept the bribe the enemy simply leaves the fight.
To prove this you can go to some enemies in the early game after you get the airship and save, then bribe an enemy using all your money, it still just simply succeeds - no overkill.
More money does mean more of the item, but it depends on how much you give and what item you're getting, my advice would be to save scrub it, and work out what the best figure is for the item you are trying to accumulate.
