This clip was found and sent to me by kefner666, who did this under difficult circumstances. All credit for providing the clip goes to him. Special credits also go to wheelerguy who suggested the existence of the scene repeatedly, and of course to damianbrody who was the very first person to mention that scene, which initiated the entire search.
A DVD of the movie exists.
