New to coding, send help

I’m new to coding, and over the last few days I’ve been gradually trying to teach myself how to do it. I’m struggling with my characters entering a scene when I’ve already got characters in there.
This is an example of my script;
@MAT spot 0.897 55 215 in zone 1 at layer 1
@MAT walks to spot 0.891 57 215 in zone 2 in 5
@zoom on 0 0 to 100% in 0
MAT (callout_neutral)
Hey Leo! There slagging us off again!
@LEO spot 0.897 300 215 in zone 1 at layer -1
@LEO walks to spot 0.891 282 215 in zone 2 in 5
@LEO faces left

How do I make the characters entering the scene come in faster? Theres too much of a long pause,
Thanks in advance
