Dillon, there's good news and bad news with this script.

Bad news is it isn't very good. The characters are not endearing and the jokes aren't funny. There is no set up and punchline. It's just dialogue that hopes to be amusing. That's ok when the dialogue is genuinely clever.

I gather you're young and just starting out with your writing career. Your writing gives off a vibe of someone in their teens. The good news is you can learn. Take writing classes, read sitcom scripts (if that's the genre you want to get into), read books on comedy writing. There are some good ones out there.

You have a passion for the craft, that's plainly evident. Put some work into it and you'll get a lot better!
