You're going to have to write SOME description (otherwise the person reading your script won't know what they're supposed to "see"), but you could use a clipped version of description. Check out the script for the first Alien film. The description is in a format that might suit you. An example:

INT. GALLEY
Pot now half full.
Kane watches it drip.
Inhales the fragrance.

KANE
Now Dallas and Ash.
(calls out)
Good morning, captain.

DALLAS
(voice over)
Where's the coffee?

KANE
Brewing.

LAMBERT walks into the kitchen.
Pours herself a cup.
