Sprink's advice to Shane is spot on. As I noted in my Workshop, a writer can help prevent a scriptlike feel by showing how characters are reacting, as opposed to simply having them "say the line". As Sprink has noted, these descriptions don't have to be extensive--indeed, they shouldn't be unless there is a genuine reason for it. (Sometimes there will be, sometimes there won't.)
