Respuesta rápida
Cut to the chase: get to the point
To make your own story shorter, say "Long story short." To ask someone else to stop talking around a topic, say "Get to the point," but say it kindly. In meetings or other business talk, "Let's cut to the chase" means "let's skip the small talk and talk about what matters."

Explicación de cada frase
-
Long story short Casual, about your story
Use it to skip details and give the main result of a story. If you interrupt someone else with it, it can sound as though you want them to hurry.
“Long story short.”
-
Get to the point Direct, a little impatient
Use it when someone is talking around a topic and you need the main idea. A softer start such as "please" or "sorry, could you" helps, because on its own the line can sound rude.
“Please get to the point.”
-
Let's cut to the chase Bold and businesslike
Use it to skip small talk and start the real conversation, often in work or negotiation. It's less polite at a friendly dinner, where small talk is part of the fun.
“Let's cut to the chase.”
-
To make a long story short Casual, slightly fuller

"Long story short" shortens your own story. If you use it about someone else's story, it sounds like a complaint, and that can be rude.

Get to the point! (said sharply to a colleague)Mejor Sorry, could you get to the point? We're short on time.
On its own, "get to the point" can sound impatient. A softer start and a reason can make the request less abrupt, but your tone still matters.
