From LATRO:

Ah, yes but, see, that is exactly what they think is going to happen. So tonight will be total surprise.

We know that they know that they think that is exactly what is going to happen, so we know that in order to surprise them, we need to do it when we think that they know we are not going to do it, and make sure that we do, do it when they think we know they know…ya know.
