Reality is your greatest inspiration
I find it that the best way to get ideas for a story and characters is to open one’s eyes and look around. The world around you is the best inspiration. You’d be surprised how the people that surround you can easily translate into a character in your screenplay. Your neighborhood can also be a source of inspiration for a location in your screenplay.
I guess the point I am trying to make is that if you’re stuck, take a break and head outside and pay close attention to your surroundings. I would suggest heading to a mall, sitting down at the food court with pen and paper and start writing what you see. Observe the people and how they act, how they walk and talk. This will hopefully spark something in your brain.
