Job 1... Read up on screenplay format.
While a few formatting errors can be overlooked, a blatant abandonment of format can not.
Job 2... Rewrite your dialogue to sound more natural.
Your characters sound like they're reading from a manual. Try reading your dialogue out loud and see how it sounds. I'm willing to bet that you'll see that people don't talk like that.
Job 3... Create a beginning, middle, and end to your story.
There really isn't a story here. It's just a few clips from someone's life and they don't really make sense.
Good luck.
