There’s general formatting issues. Words missing capitalisation, no spaces where there should be etc.
There are typos such as:
“So by this time me and Alan were having a beer thinking about are next move.”
Our instead of are.
“I’m out of commission for two more weeks but afterwards be I’ll like a virgin...”
I’ll be like a virgin instead of be I’ll like a virgin.
A lot of the dialogue really doesn’t work well at all. Try reading it out loud or find someone to read it out to you. What works on paper doesn’t always work orally. For example try saying:
“Now that would mean she would have to admit to herself that all those sleepovers of girls screaming in the bedroom was not a pillow fight.”
…out loud and you’ll realise it’s a mouthful to say all at once and really doesn’t sound right.
Because of the above issues I got to page 11 and just gave up. I really didn’t know what was going on. I knew it was about LA types trying to make it in L.A and involved relationships but I couldn’t grasp anything beyond that. Sorry.

some things that threw me off a bit was your slug lines
EXT. LOS ANGELES KOREATOWN -DAY-MORNING
INT. APARTMENT-MORNING
and
EXT. LOS ANGELES
EXT. LAX AIRPORT -6 MONTHS BEFORE
that through me off cause there is no description after the first slug lines...
another is the six months before should not be in the slug line it should be super imposed and you also had it in the dialogue which is redundant. your dialogue is also way to long a huge turn off
i didnt understand the whole taxi cab ride with Alan and Jacob
TRISH BELMONT, 25 Caucasian and African American descent
