Very chill and tries to use timetravelling to enjoy life as much as possible. Went back in time six years to visit Woodstock.

A loud crash sounds behind him, where his non-working time machine stands. SID exits a time machine, coughing and waving away clouds of smoke. SHAWN, stares in horror and quickly starts muttering prayers.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>SHAWN: (complete horror) What the fuck is that what the fuck is exiting my portalllll I THOUGHT IT WASN\u2019T WORKING my god I\u2019m gonna die where\u2019s that fucking gun holy shit this is it\u2014<\/p>\n<p>SID: Let me tell you, Joan Baez can have my\u2026my\u2026 This is not my.

I\u2019ll tell you whatever information you need just put the gun down.<\/p>\n<p><i>SHAWN isn\u2019t sure, backing away and tightening his grip on the gun.<\/i><\/p>\n[part here I haven\u2019t quite figured out let\u2019s move on]\n<p>SHAWN: You don\u2019t know?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SID: Me and my friend, Stevie were travelling the timestream, and we stopped at a movie in the 80s, because like future movies and all that\u2014<\/p>\n<p>SHAWN: Future? Wait, what year do you think it is?<\/p>\n<p><em>A look of dawning realization strikes SHAWN as his mouth drops. He turns to SID, almost fully dropping his gun, and his face goes pale.
