You have a kernel of a good premise. BUT....
There are tons of typos and grammatical errors - far too many to list - try using Gramerly - it's free.
The dialogue is not at all natural.
For example, here:
Quoted Text
PAULA No, No I'm not. (beat) Do you-- do you know who's doing this? LEWIS Who's doing what?
Wo's doing what??? The place is being shot up and he's escaped into a restroom - Of course he knows what "what" is. Several places like this where it doesn't make any sense.
The ending is rather pointless. Think of something more clever - twisty.
