Involvement
The tunnel man asks for "a little money" (a lot of money) so that he can dig a shortcut to a new Area. Unlike virtually everything else in Spelunky, the amount you've paid the tunnel man is carried over after you begin a new game.
The tunnel to Area 2 costs $100,000, the tunnel to Area 3 costs $200,000, and the tunnel to Area 4 costs $300,000. The tunnel man won't offer his services the first time you reach a new Area, but he'll be there on all subsequent occasions until you've given him enough money for a new tunnel.
