Don't rush me

[emanko]

Hello

Tom is telling Mike a story and Mike keeps interrupting him by trying to predict the end of the story. Tom wants Mike to be patient until he finishes the story.

What is the best option:
1- Tom: Don't rush.
2- Tom: Don't rush me.
3- Tom: Be patient.

Thank you

2- would be my choice out of those three. But there are lots of different ways you can say something like this, including idioms such as “Wait for it” or “Hold your horses”.
