Help me impress my boss: where can I find video of the Billy Madison "Industrial Revolution" speech online?
Inspired by this court order, I have been tasked with finding a clip from Billy Madison to show at my law firm's section meeting. My boss thinks I am a whiz at finding things online, and I want to maintain the illusion of my expertise.
The clip is where Billy answers a question about the industrial revolution by comparing it to the book The Loneliest Puppy. The judge mocks him and says something about how it is the stupidest thing he has ever heard and he awards no points. I am looking for a clip that contains the whole question, answer, and judge's speech. YouTube and Google Video offer no help.
If I could come up with this by noon (that's less than two hours) I would be a hero. I petition the powerful AskMe for assistance.

Mr. Madison [Sandler’s character], what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I’ve ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response was there anything that could even be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no point, and may God have mercy on your soul.

You could rent the dvd/video tonight, rip it and upload it to YouTube, and in the morning be all like "it was driving me crazy that I couldn't find it, so I tried some more and here it is."
And then hope that you never have to do it again.

Best answer: I found it online at cinemanow.com. The site looks pretty cool - you pay $2.99 to rent a movie for 24 hours. It streams at DVD-quality and allows you to jump around in the movie.
So I got the movie, hooked my laptop up to the projector in our conference room, and....the video wouldn't play (presumably because my video card didn't have enough oomph to output the video).
