Your dialogue must advance the story, otherwise it's dull and pointless. Try a scene out in comic strip format to make sure there are no wasted "speech bubbles".
Also, to make it real, record some actual conversations (be sneaky so they don't know you're doing it) and transcribe word for word, mutter for mutter, sentence fragment for sentence fragment -- because spoken language is very different to written, and if you always use full sentences it's going to be stilted and unnatural.

It could be worse
