"Because the Rubicon palisade has two access gates: One entrance and one exit, General Labienus," replied Caesar, who knew what the Rubicon was like, as opposed to Mark Anthony.

"How?" asked Mark Anthony.
"This is certainly not the time to tell you but when the time is right you will all be informed."
