Wanted: Image or Clip of Foster's Final Scene in This...

Could someone out there who has a DVD of this, or some other file version present on their computer, please extract an image of the scene where Foster waves to the police as she's leaving the precinct and shouts, "So lonnng, suckers!"? I need a copy of this image to put the finishing touches on a Google Page I'm working on.

I would really appreciate someone giving me a hand with this. I've looked all over the net, and all I've been able to find of this exact scene is a miniature still at Child Starlets.com; if one wants a larger version of it, s/he must join and pay to access it.

There was a clip of this scene available at YouTube up until recently, but it's been "removed by the user". Maybe someone out there could be nice enough to reload it, and I could take it from there....

Cheers....

Thank-you very much; I truly appreciate your finding this clip for me. Sadly, however, it is of very little use to me, for it is taken from one of those Chinese 'baidu' (or whatever) sites, and so is not compatible with 'Save Youtube' and therefore not downloadable for my editing purposes. Again, thanks anyway.

Anyone have any advice on how to download the clip in question? Anyone care to make another attempt at finding a more compatible version of this clip...?

Couldn't you just rent or buy the DVD to obtain the clip? You'd be less likely to be violating copyright law -- though I'm not sure of the legality of posting it on your page.

Wow! Someone actually concerned about copyright laws. You must surely be one of the last of a dying breed!

If you haven't figured this out yet, you could get a screen capture app, like iShowU, which allows for a decent grab of Anything onscreen...

I managed to get my crafty hands on some sleazy software that allowed me to rip three stills from Foster's final scene in this film. I wanted those stills to compliment the last of three poems I've compiled as a Google page:

The poems were originally published at the Literary Kicks website, but they got screwed up beyond recognition when some technical work was done on the site, heavily affecting the 2007 archives. I can now provide a link to this page from the 'Links to Online Poems and Essays' section of my MySpace blog.
