Here's a place to start, using our friend BBEdit's powers.
I copied the sample you provided below into a new BBEdit doc,
and then chose the Menu Command Markup -> Utilities -> Translate
HTML to Text, with Remove Tags and Convert Paragraphs checked
and Convert HTML Entities un-checked. That yielded:
1092
00:40:25,710 --> 00:40:29,220
the kid has no idea what you mean
1093
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:31,019
because you don't know what you mean but
1094
00:40:29,219 --> 00:40:33,149
you mean something like well don't be a
... etc
Now your job is much easier to handle with pattern-matching in
the Find/Replace dialog, especially if the numbers and times
above each dialog line are as consistent as in your sample -
maybe just delete any line starting with a digit.

one expression? Thanks!
