check please
Ready to pay
Check please is a request for the bill at a restaurant, signaling you're ready to pay and leave.
It's direct and efficient, the standard American phrase for this purpose: When she started talking about her ex again, I was mentally saying check please.
The phrase extends figuratively to signal wanting out of any uncomfortable situation.
