Default Keep number format after converting time to text

I want to use the =right(cell, number of characters) function with time data,
but when I do this, it first ratios the numbers and then gives me the wrong
answer.
For example:

8:33 =right(a1,2) I want it to return 33, but instead returns 25
8:34 =right(a2,2) I want it to return 34, but instead returns 44
8:35 =right(a3,2) I want it to return 35, but instead returns 89

I have tried formatting the cells from time to text, but when I do, it
calculates the ratio or something. Is there another format or conversion I
can use?
