30 ticks really means 30 ticks
And it seems these 30 ticks are actually the duration between dialog boxes, so it's actually part of the NEXT state that follows after the message box has been removed.
Can you please check what the original interpreter is doing?
Also that's not just the follow-up dialog when you bring coffee, but it's like the 30th dialog box. Please also include which script you are posting from.
This is script 150, sCartoon::changeState, and the state number would be useful too.
I just checked my multilingual Larry 5 copy. I skipped the dialog boxes, but this specific text stays on screen for seconds.
I think I read something that there indeed is a time overflow problem with ticks, but it happens not that often.
