What is the best way to do it with a Talkative person?

If someone you know kept talking and telling all of their long stories and moments and bla bla bla.
What will you do to stop this or you will keep listening forever?
Step back a little, look down adn say "Ohhhhkay." Works for me every time. :) It's like showing "I'm on my way to get into another room and walk away now." in body language. It usually makes the other person say something like "Oh. Sorry I kept on talking so long, you look like you need to go somewhere?" -"Yep. I really should get going actually.." "Oh. ok, see ya!" That's if the person gets it. If he or she doesn't get it. Well... Just say "Thank you for sharing all of that information with me, but, I really should get going now. I've got a lot of things to do. Some important things to be honest. I really need to get some things done today.." then wait for a response like "Oh. Sorry. yeah. Sure. That's ok!" "Ok, take care, bye!" Perhaps you can also add "Maybe we can talk again like (here you suggest a moment you have more time to listen)". But then you might regret later on saying that ;)

I just went through this at work. She would not shut up, one of those people that goes from one tangent to another and never stops. I had to interrupt her or she would have kept on going.

I will pretend to be on the phone and walk out.
