The above won't work properly because you needed set the stop condition
first, otherwise it just starts up the speech sequence on mouseUp, which
will kill and ignore any previous condition.

This is normal AFAIK with conditional statements. The above is simply out of
sequence, so it just keeps starting up from scratch like it did the first
time.

Yes...see, you set up the condition that stops it first.
