Nice intro for Elmar.

Numbers are supposed to be spelled out, unless they're large (999,999, e.g.). Plus, we already know he's talking to the driver. If you needed a parenthetical, it would be to indicate that he's talking to himself.

"(into phone)" This is when you need a parenthetical. Good job.

(into his phone)
Wait a second. I'm confused. Did your
screen I[-]D'ed me as your Orthopedist
when I called?


Grammar. Not sure "orthopedist" needs to be capitalized.

disparate * adj. * dissimilar; things so unlike that there is no basis for comparison.

desperate * adj. * feeling, showing, or involving a hopeless sense that a situation is so bad as to be impossible to deal with.

Which one is it?

Then why the hell are you telling me
about your Lumbar verteb-fuck
problems?



Huh???

I don't care, Tony, if [you] break
your whole spine and spend the rest
of your life in a wheelchair[] --


Chuckle-worthy line, though. Work on your grammar.

"Sir[--]"

"Goodbye[!]" Impact. But don't overdo it.

Code

DRIVER
Sir, you need to leave.



Code

BATMAN
I'm considering it.



I Don't care if you wrote this in five seconds, this many errors (and within the first [Gasp!] two pages) is inexcusable. Not a good start.

Code

ELMAR
Fuck[,] no.



Code

ELMAR
Sure as hell the lights said "Free"
when I got in, so I'm not going
anywhere[,] buddy.



I am. Next time, proofread.

Pass. 1/10
