This is a bug in the original interpreter, so the following workaround is marked as an enhancement.
When Guybrush gets on the Sea Cucumber for the first time and the monkeys show up on deck, if the ESC key is pressed before the "Any last words, Threepwood?" dialogue, the music will continue playing indefinitely throughout the game (or until another "sequence" music is played). To amend this, we intercept this exact script override and we force the playback of sound 2277, which is the iMUSE sequence which would have been played after the dialogue.
This workaround has been stress-tested on all Steam available languages + Akella Russian.
