Now, Mel he comes in from time

to time and we check to, you know,

to see if his blood clean,

his brain is flowing, simple stuff.

We don't publicize. We don't talk about

anything outside of my laboratory.

Truth is, and he don't

mind me saying this...

and speaking as a professional,

he has so much to offer

the world of science...

and there's so much potential for him.

This little light, this little light

This little light of mine

This little light, this little light

This little light of mine

This little light, this little light

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

This little light, this little light

This little light of mine

This little light, this little light

This little light of mine

This little light, this little light

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it, I'm gonna let it shine

Everywhere, everywhere

Everywhere I go

I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine

- Yes, sir! Hallelujah!

- Yes, sir!

- Nice, reverend!

- Yes, sir!

Here on this beautiful afternoon,

you're about to experience magic.

Yes, I say to you, beautiful, magic.

You are gonna watch this wheelchair

levitate in the air.

Yeah! Levitate!

But to make this trick successful,

I need a dollar.

Yes, I ain't say thirty-five cents and no,

I didn't say no fifty-five cents.

I need a dollar. Going once.

And you, the beautiful in the pink.

Thank you so very much. Anyone else?

You got one more dollar, brother.

Give me that last one. This is the one.

Let's go, let's go, let's go! Anybody else?

You're gonna watch some magic.

I promise you that.

Criss Angel ain't got nothing

on this trick. Now, here we go!

Everyone, are you ready?

The best act out of the West Bank.

My main man, a hundred grand.

Here he is, y'all!

That's my boy! That's my boy!

He's settling in.

It's a part of the meditation.

Let the magic man

do what the magic man do.

Pictures ain't free. Okay, ladies

and gentlemen, it is about to go down.

Yes! What'd I tell you!

Do not try this at home.

I need a dollar. I need a dollar.

Anybody else? Come on, come on.

That's what I'm talking about.

Come on! You see, that's magic.

Give it up for him, y'all!

Melvin!

The kitchen furniture moves you're doing,

please can you put it back?

Yeah, Mom, I'm playing the piano here.

Please put the table and chairs

back where they belong.

You know I don't love you

touching my stuff.

Coming.

Thank you. And the lamp.

- What is up with you, love?

- Nothing.

Hey, Melvin?

My curling iron, it's shorted.

So? Is that my problem?

Yeah, actually it is your problem.

It's you're f***ing fault.

You, language.

Do you see my hair? Do you want me

to go see Ryan like this? Really?

Ryan or not,
