Syril: read the first two. There are issues:

The opening montage is way too complex, IMO.


Quoted Text
INT. HOUSE LATE EVENING


Incorrect slug. Should be INT. HOUSE - EVENING

You need - between the location and the time.


Quoted Text
Cyril, late 30’s man of his life and a strip club owner,
being ready and dressed up in an Italian white suit and a
red handkerchief in his jacket pocket, to swing to his own
strip club, named the Pussy galore.


The parts in bold are unfilmable - e.g., how does someone shoot that he is a strip club owner.
It is also inefficient. Try being crisper. Something like:


Cyril (late 30’s)  dressed an Italian white suit, red handkerchief in the jacket pocket.

That really is all you need.


Quoted Text
When suddenly Cassandra his life partner walks in and asks
him




Quoted Text
And Cyril laughs and he looks at her with his two somehow
faithful eyesCYRIL and says



Quoted Text
And Cyril actually try and answers her by excusing himself:


You do the above throughout - it is a script, not a novel. You don't need to preface the dialogue by telling us someone is going to speak. Check out some scripts here to see how they do it.
