"We don't interrupt others, wait a minute" or "wait your turn". Then when it is his turn, "thanks for waiting. What is it you wanted to tell me?"
You need to model the same behavior as well.
Allow interruptions if someone is bleeding or if something is on fire. Otherwise, they need to wait.
Well of course but after you have explained it umpteen teens and modeled correct behavior, unless your child has a cognitive processing issue, then they know the correct behavior, they just don't want to wait.
