Uno: The bold text needs to go, and you have to do a much better job at splitting up the paragraphs. Particularly, it's important to start a new one when person B says something after person A, so it's easier to tell who is saying what.

Dos: When a piece of dialogue is immediately followed up by he/she/it said then the piece of dialogue shouldn't end with a period, but with a comma (unless an ellipsis, exclamation- or question mark is used instead).

In other words, it isn't:

"One month." he said. but "One month," he said.

If a piece of dialogue comes after telling us who said it, then it's justified to end with a period.

Tres: An ellipsis should be exactly three periods long, and there should be space between an ellipses and the word that comes immediately after.

Cuatro: Proofread just one more time.
