After some testing...

If you hit the guy, he will continue saying blah...

//external script called @ end of main proc
void extloop ()
{
loop:
wait(20);
say("`3 Blahblahblah",&current_sprite);
goto loop;
}

If you hit the guy, he will still move and say blah...

//external script called @ end of main proc
void extloop ()
{
loop:
wait(20);
say("`3 Blahblahblah",&current_sprite);
move(&current_sprite,4,20,1);
goto loop;
}

If you hit the guy, he will stop where he is and will no longer say blah meaning the loop has been broken.

//external script called @ end of main proc
void extloop ()
{
loop:
wait(20);
say("`3 Blahblahblah",&current_sprite);
move_stop(&current_sprite,4,20,1);
goto loop;
}

If you hit the guy, he will stop for a little, then go to the next direction from where he's standing. The loop will continue

//external script called @ end of main proc
void extloop ()
{
loop:
move(&current_sprite,4,200,1);
wait(2000);
move(&current_sprite,6,400,1);
wait(2000);
goto loop;
}

So summed up, if you talk to the npc while he's using move_stop() the movement and the loop will both be terminated. On the other hand, if you use just move, only the current movement will be stopped and the loop will continue on.

You can overcome the stops by doing this.

void extloop ()
{
loop1:
wait(20);
&save_x = sp_x(&current_sprite,-1);
  if (&save_x > 200)
  {
  move(&current_sprite,4,200,1);
  goto loop1;
  }

loop2:
wait(20);
&save_x = sp_x(&current_sprite,-1);
  if (&save_x < 400)
  {
  move(&current_sprite,6,400,1);
  goto loop2;
  }

goto loop1;
}
