Michael,
I didn't see a single thing wrong with the formatting, I just didn't get how the gang members gave up so easily on the stranger. Was it their daddy? That was kind of weird - unless this is the preview of a longer work? (hint, hint)

Comment from Gloria ....
Uh oh, it looks like the bullies are heading for a big can of whoop ass from the stranger. This is gonna be fun, so I hope you tell the rest of the story.
So I am taking it this is a screen play?
Couple of nits:
You have homie spelled homie and homey. I'm not sure which one is correct. LMFAO.
It looks to me like your (you're) robbing these boys. I don't think I like that.
Anyhow great job, Mav. I think you've done a terrific job on your first script. We need to get a little more action in that category, right?
Love it!

That's what I love about your attitude and your writing: you never let "not knowing" how to do something stop you from launching out like you were the inaugurator of that craft.
and he knows it. [Spacing error. Bring up to end of previous line.]
It does him no good. [Same as above. I think it's intentional.]
Brick: Looks like your friends get the picture. Maybe you need it clarified. [Good dialogue.]
Larry: You don't scar me ... [A little subliminal humor?]
Your not getting it, so don't even dream it. [YOU'RE not getting it ...]
and who knows how many of them. [Ends with question mark.]
Ha-ha! You gave it the ol' Mikey twist! You go higher and higher up the food chain until you arrive with the STRANGER. My only problem is the feeling I'm left with (probably owing to the length of your script) is the Stranger isn't on the scene long enough to build any credibility. If he had a voice like a deep-cave rumble or had a history that would raise the gang's collective voice to a five octave shrill, my reader's heartbeat would buy it, but I'm just not convinced, as written, he would scare the gang members into silence.
But I DO like the food chain idea.

This is OK so far, although to go on and create an actual one act play, you need a turn of scene and more about the character of the stranger. I like this because it makes me curious about what this stranger is like, to mesmerize the hoods

Interesting. I liked the way you layered the bullying. Rarely do we thinj of our bullies being bullied. My niece who is bipolar is a bully. We are trying to change that. Thank you for sharing your work.

Penrod by Booth Tarkington has an excellent chapter on bullying.
I am no playwright, so just because this looks fine to me...

You say you didn't know how, but I think you did well.
Your story just goes to show there's always a bigger, badder guy. It's funny how bullies back down when they're stood up to. They are just cowards at heart. I learned that the hard way and early in life.
-You don't scar[e] me ...
-You['re] not getting it,

You've written a fine script. There's a lot going on with Brick's nasty personality. I'm wondering if he'll be any nicer now that he's had a taste of his own ways. I doubt it. Now you'll have to follow this one with another section.

You did well with this one mike, it was easy to follow and visualize on a stage. The bully got bullied himself, it all goes up the line. Good scenario, just a couple of edits.
Larry - You don't scar (scare) me
It looks to me like your (you're) robbing these boys.
cheers,
valda
