What is the meaning of the captioned sentence?
No excuses when you slip. Two can play this game, professor. We all make mistakes. If someone busts you, don’t try to wiggle out of it.

| 'Two can play at that game' means whatever you can do I can do too. Or 'I can do the same as you' |

Thank you. I've got it. "professor" is a playful calling, isn't it?
