cut to the chaseで単刀直入に言うの意味です。come/get straight to the point（核心をついてくれ）でも同じ意味です。いいビデオが見つかりませんが、New in town（映画）の21:23にあるせりふです。why don't you cut to the chase? we don't give a good goose fart on a muggy day. what you're making us make.（用件があったら早く言ってくれ、こんなじめっとした日に能書きは結構。あんたらの指示があればそれに従うまでだ。）jump to the chase(5:18)も同じ意味です。23:57 you just cut right to the chase, don't you? せっかちな人ね。
