This is a rough script and it will give the actors a rough idea of what to say, we will ask them to improvise here and there in order to create a realistic atmosphere and to prevent the dialogue from sounding like a monotone script that's obviously been rehearsed.

"Is everything ready?"
"Yeah I think so, what's the plan?"
"Maybe we could dig out a good film or find a good board game?"
"Really? A board game?"
"Yeah? Why not?"
"We've played them all though!"
"Hmm what about that new one?"
"Fine! I'll go find it"
*doorbell rings*
"Hi!"
"Hey!"
"Alright mate"
"Oh we brought some more wine!"
"Aw you didn't have to!"
"Come in, just chuck your coats anywhere!"
*character 3 takes 4's coat and puts on stairs*
"So, when are your parents back?"
"Not till next week"
"Do you guys want a drink?"
*time lapse*
"Fancy playing a game then?"
"Yeahhhh why not!"
*various shots of setting up game*
No dialogue whilst the game is being played? What about your cutaway scenes? Will there be dialogue here? Check that any you have planned for has been scripted - even loosely, so that you're not going to be wasting time thinking of things to say!
