position:0% yeah so we are we are growing from 00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:09.029 align:start position:0% yeah so we are we are growing from shrinking<00:02:08.080> it's<00:02:08.239> probably<00:02:08.479> the<00:02:08.560> best<00:02:08.800> way<00:02:08.959> to 00:02:09.029 --> 00:02:09.039 align:start position:0% shrinking it's probably the best way to 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.790 align:start position:0% shrinking it's probably the best way to say<00:02:09.200> it<00:02:09.360> so<00:02:09.520> we<00:02:09.759> we<00:02:10.000> are<00:02:10.160> we're<00:02:10.319>
