Pare down your dialogue!
Read your screenplay aloud to hear if it flows well.
Remember film is all about images.
"If you don't cut down your dialogue somebody else will and they'll be less merciful than you! Cut to the quick. Cut to the chase all the time." Shane Connaughton
"Any time you write a line of dialogue that you think is really wonderful, that's the first sign it should be cut! For the screenwriter, dialogue is the regretful second choice. Check that you have tried throughout to write in a purely visual way." Robert McKee
