1) I know what you're going to tell me.
2) I know everything you're going to tell me.
3) I know all you're going to tell me.
Do these mean:
a) I can predict what you are going to tell me.
or:
b) You are not going to teach me anything by telling me what you are going to tell me, (for example: you are going to talk about the theory of relativity, but what you are going to say about it is already part of my knowledge)
Gratefully,

@navi,
It's ambiguous enough to refer to either
a or
b.. The intended meaning can only be determined by revealing the specific context through ensuing dialogue.
