00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:39.200
it's<00:11:37.179><c> an</c><00:11:37.379><c> odd</c><00:11:37.639><c> statement</c><00:11:38.159><c> to</c><00:11:38.600><c> say</c><00:11:38.740><c> that</c><00:11:38.899><c> we</c><00:11:39.019><c> would</c>

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.559
if<00:11:44.759><c> you</c><00:11:44.919><c> believe</c><00:11:45.279><c> that</c><00:11:45.500><c> that's</c><00:11:46.279><c> a</c>

00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:57.059
