Make a long story short (3,2,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cut to the chase

(Other definitions for cut to the chase that I've seen before include "'Stop beating about the bush!'" , "Get to the point" , "Start discussing important matters" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
