Here are some polite ways to interrupt someone:
Excuse me?
Sorry?
Excuse me for interrupting, but…(may I ask you a question)?
May I interrupt for a moment? Sure / Certainly

Phrasal Verb
“to check out” has several meanings:

1) it can mean to investigate or take a look at something e.g: we checked out the new pub last week.
2) it can mean to leave a hospital or hotel e.g: It’s late. We must check out soon.
3) it can be a used the same way as 2 with ‘of’ e.g: we checked out of the hotel by eleven.
4) it can mean to die, in a slang way e.g: the old man finally checked out.
5) to check in / into means to enter a hospital or hotel e.g: I checked into the hotel by 10 O’clock.
6) check into also means to investigate e.g: I checked into the prices of flights to London .
