Writing dialogue is not as hard as you're letting it seem. You have dialogue all the time -- it's called talking. If you honestly cannot think of what your characters are going to say to one another, you need to go take a break and go somewhere out in public. Sit somewhere in the middle of a crowd for one to two hours and just listen to people talking. Then, go home and write down some of the things you heard people saying. That's dialogue.

When you need to have your characters talk, just pretend it's you and a friend (or several friends), and have them say something you'd probably say in the same situation. Then imagine what your friends would say in reply, and go back and forth that way. As you become a better writer, your characters themselves will "tell" you what they want to say, because they become like real people to you.

Can there be a script without dialog?

Absolutely a script can contain no dialog. Film is a visual medium, after all, and a viewer must be able to follow the story without any words. The 2011 film, The Artist, is a great example of a film without any -- or much -- dialog. Silent movies produced pre-late-1920s are also good examples of stories without dialog. They contain dialog, which is presented as text during the scene, but often the text is unnecessary because so much of the story can be understood visually. Plus, the 2015 movie, Minions, is another example of 'no dialog' because the characters' dialog is essentially gibberish.
