Michael:


Quoted Text
INT. DINER - NIGHT

The diner is slightly dirty and mostly empty.


You never have to repeat your location in the description if it's in the header. e.g., the above should be:

INT. DINER - NIGHT

Slightly dirty and mostly empty.

Best to write actively. Avoid the "is"and "ings." e.g., this:


Quoted Text
A BUSBOY (19) is wiping down booths with a well-worn towel and a WAITRESS
(40) is marrying bottles of ketchup.


Reads better as:

A BUSBOY (19) wipes down booths with a well-worn towel and a WAITRESS
(40) marries bottles of ketchup.

This:


Quoted Text
A BEARDED MAN (40) is sitting by himself in a large booth. He
is in a back corner of the diner,


Better as:

A BEARDED MAN (40) sits by himself in a large booth in the back corner of the diner.
