Isn't it, "I knew you would do that?"
The less the words agree, the cooler the sentence is.
Ben: Yeah, that's the only way it makes sense. But why!?
Both "knew" and "would" are past tense, where as "will" is... future tense? The parts don't line up.
"Would" is the past tense of what... Will? But "will" is the future tense of "to be." So you have to use the past tense of the future tense of "to be"?
