"You know...Dylan. Dylan's missing out."
"Really?"

This is going pretty great :P It's just....being me....I've got a few things to complain about. Sorry o:
First of all, if you're really trying to make this into a legitimate screenplay, I'd suggest adding thing's for your characters to do while they're talking. Have you ever read "The Crucible"? It's a great book to look at when you're writing a screenplay because it shows you exactly how to format it and...you know...shtuff :P When you're writing about the characters, try to think about what they'd be doing while they're talking and that'll give the whole thing a bit more dimension or whatever.
Secondly, at the very beginning you write that 'everyone' was talking at the same time. I find that a bit hard to believe unless they're all aliens whose brains are connected or something.
And lastly may I suggest spacing your lines out more? Maybe it's just me, but I thought it was kind've hard to read with everything so close together. Or maybe I'm just getting...old! NO! NO!!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!! I'M TOO YOUNG TO GET OLD!!!!! WHY!!! WHY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry if I came off harsh and/or crazy :P I'm just a very very picky person :D :D :D :D :D Loving it so far, though!!!!

This is really cool, and I give you credit for the imagination and style of writing. Your dialogue is well-written and engaging, but keep in mind to always use quotations marks around dialogue interactions to avoid reader confusion with other parts of a screenplay, such as on-stage directions, setting, etc. Well done!
