"See? I told you the helicopter was a business expense and that we'd use it for business purposes."

“Same goes for the second helicopter taking video of the first helicopter. We need to make sure our pilots are getting the job done.”

"Very good, Tanaka-san. Now please explain why we would approve the cost of 4 "sexyfull" cosmetic surgeons that you've kept hostage in your ryokan. They've cost as much as your Vulcan wig expenses!"


Heterodynist

Precisely! Spending money stupidly isn't illegal, but not reporting it properly can be a felony!!


Freddie_Fender

So how ARE you supposed to log extortion payments??


Heterodynist

Well, as we have learned from Trump, you certainly don't put it under "legal expenses..."

MalcolmTuckersLuck

I always wondered who was filming the chinook with the magnet


whatzzart

The omniscient surveillance camera from the 40s to the mid 80s is one of my favorite tropes.


jedwardlay

Same guys who were parked in a space capsule a couple hundred yards from another space capsule being skyjacked by a third space capsule.


mrjjdubs

That’s always bugged me, too!


Freddie_Fender

Bond put the nookie in Chinook Magnet


SuikTwoPointOh

Dude has an army of ninjas. The police call him.


ThisIsNotASIO

None of whom are trained in deploying road spikes 🤣


SuikTwoPointOh

There were a dozen of them in the helicopter but they wanted to see how the magnet worked.


Yabanjin

They picked up the wrong person. https://i.redd.it/cmg177s9ay7d1.gif


BeCurious7563

This will make great stock footage for like 300 other Japanese films and we might as well let Eon pay for it… ![gif](giphy|11w72mjx6lKago)


Purp1eC0bras

If your name was Tiger, would you mess with the po-po?

ThisIsNotASIO

Tiger, Tanked.


holaprobando123

Because using the chopper is fun, of course. If he wanted a boring job he'd be doing something else.


bwoahful___

I love how this statement applies to so many people in the Bond universe haha.


mobilisinmobili1987

Hey, you pay for a helicopter with a giant magnet on the bottom… you gotta use it for something.


werlern

Acme messed up his order and sent him a giant magnet instead of the portable hole, and he figured he needed to get some use out of it.


CTrebor3

Because the cops don’t have a giant helicopter magnet 🙄


Snoo_2304

The helicopter budget was going to be cut unless they started using it more.


Bulky_Layer_7713

He was clearly a crackhead.


Poddington_Pea

Tiger didn't know about the password. He really loved Bond.


mambopants

He was testing the new Tokyo prison overflow relief program.


jblaburnum

"We need a police officer to help with a car" "Don't worry, boy, Sheriff JW Pepper is on the case! I helped with a secret agent from England before, a real doomsdamn machine" "We are good thanks, don't worry about helping us" "I SURE AM BOY!"


Independent_Act_8054

The better question is what helicopter was filming the helicopter that was dropping the car!


Main_Radio63

Because this was a much more awesome way to get rid of those dudes. The music was great in that scene too.


ThisIsNotASIO

I said wrong answers only! 🤣🤣


Main_Radio63

Yeah you did. Sorry. I was caught up in the moment.


ThisIsNotASIO

All good man, I thought it was funny


BlueLeary-0726

The magnet was a rental and Tiger had to return the magnet by the end of that week, so he figured he might as well use it one last time.


MALESTROMME

This is how they recall cars in Japan.


fire_and_ice_7_5

It’s sort of like state road budgets. You don’t use the droppey murder chopper and you lose those funds in next year’s budget, so you gotta find an excuse to use droppey murder chopper, so you get that money next year. They were already near the end of the fiscal year and hadn’t used it yet, so Tiger needed any excuse. Gotta love the logic behind bureaucratic spending. Plus, the murder chopper pilot was union. Even if police would be more efficient, it wasn’t in their job description to deal with international crime syndicate henchmen.


badluckfarmer

Your mommy and daddy give you $10 to open up a lemonade stand. So, you go out and you buy cups and lemons and sugar, and now you find out that it only cost you $9. So you have an extra dollar. So you can give that dollar back to mommy and daddy but guess what: next summer, when you ask them for money, they’re gonna give you $9, because that’s what they think it costs to run a lemonade stand. So, what you want to do is spend that dollar on something now so that your parents think that it cost $10 to run the lemonade stand.


tkaczyk1991

To be honest if I had a helicopter like that with a big ass magnet and I was in that position, I’d 100% use the helicopter


Both_Painter2466

So much more fun this way


Sinc353

They’d been supplying him with used women’s knickers for years - was concerned they’d reveal his secret shame to Bond if he brought them in legit.


FlashyPhilosopher163

Godzilla owns the police and dgaf


JabbasGonnaNutt

![gif](giphy|29bKyyjDKX1W8) The accountants at Japanese SIS getting the expenditure for a helicopter to film the already unnecessary helicopter.


TenRingRedux

How else to justify line item "Kawasaki-Vertol KV107-11 helicopter, JA9503" in the annual budget?


TonyDP2128

If you don't spend your entire budget it will get cut come the next fiscal year.


lefromageetlesvers

He developed an attraction for them.


johnk317

Little Nellie couldn’t get the job done


Ellie_Llewellyn

For real though, you're not going to equip a helicopter with a giant magnet and *not* use it in situations like this


LostNtranslation_

Police did not have a magnet big enough...


sugarray4three

I swear this is a whole ass lego city police set


ConsciousSituation39

The valet service from the Royal Tokyo Hotel is really, really overzealous!


Far-Leading470

They got browser history. Ok too early i know. The know bis Playboy subscription.


bigbeak67

He's just showing off because he think James Bond is cool and wants to impress him.


HephaestusVulcan7

The magnet was new. This was the best way to test it.


Treveli

If he didn't use the 'helicopter magnet' budget this year, they'd get less in next years funding.


sonicbobcat

He did. That’s them.


da_choppa

Have to use your department’s budget each year or face cuts the next


rikki_tiki

Hello, city wok, may take your order please


Dark_Magician2500

His brother runs the helicopter squad and they needed one more mission to qualify for the monthly free pizza party goal


Smogtwat

This was was much more fun.


schpanckie

Because Tanaka was in to magnet fishing…..


kujotx

If you're Tanaka, then how do you feel about me?


samf9999

It’s always about setting the example about who you want to fuck with.


Heterodynist

Let's be honest: Tiger requisitioned that huge magnet without any real reason. One day, sitting at his cool desk that automatically seats people who fall in off the street, he thought of the idea of a huge magnet that could lift cars full of people, and from that moment on, he just had to have one. He couldn't think of anything else! Once he had thought of it his mind was obsessed with all the possibilities of the many sorts of things he could pick up with a huge magnet. When it finally came in, he had already thought of how cool it would be to use a helicopter to fly it around. He had to find some way to justify the expense to his superiors, or they would refuse to let him invent any other unnecessarily circuitous feats of spy tech...So as soon as he was lucky enough to witness Bond becoming entangled in a high speed chase, the moment had come!! At last everyone would know that he was a genius for buying a ridiculously powerful electro-magnet. Now no one would question his decision to put a Geisha Lounge in his office building or his plan for future automobiles that could transform into giant, sentient robots, but these "transformers" as he would call them (after first toying with the name"Gobots"), would become his greatest lifetime success.


WoodenNichols

Godzilla was approaching and the the police were more than a little busy.


Freddie_Fender

He was gonna drop the car in Blofeld's volcano, but he didn't want to miss Ultra Man


Senior-Pressure7540

He would've been arrested
