Who can help me?

I go to this video bar and they always show this montage of clips from films with women slapping each other, cursing, and such. They always show this clip of Lily Tomlin grabbing someone by their head and telling them to "shut the *beep* up." Does anyone know what this is from? I keep trying to Google it, but the only thing that comes up is that outtake from "I Heart Huckabees," which is not the clip shown at this bar.

Oh that's probably from the film "Flirting with Disaster." In it she plays a June Cleaver-type who earns a living making acid with her husband. One of the visitors ends up getting their dinner spiked with acid, so she serves as a "guide" to help them through their acid trip. She gets frustrated with them and grabs them by the head and goes "Shut the *beep* up I'm trying to HELP you!" It's one of the dozens of hilarious scenes in the movie. It's actually directed by David O'Russell, who she ends up getting into a vicious fight with on the set of I Heart Huckabee's. But it's a hilarious movie (and WAY better than Huckabee's) and you should definitely check it out!
