Everyone likes gathering their friends for get-togethers. Who doesn't like to party? Snakes have to get their grooves on, too.
Awesomely Shitty

-On EMF, as a thread becomes longer, the likelihood that fem-Kaworu will be mentioned increases exponentially.
-the only English language novel actually being developed in parallel to its Japanese version involving a pan-human Soviet in a galactic struggle to survive and to export the communist utopia/revolution to all the down trodden alien class and race- one of the premise being that Khrushchev remains and has abandoned Lysenko stupidity

in times of trouble people gather together to overcome the obstacle
it is also a phrase normally used in spite of the opposition

The Australian subtitles (which I'm convinced are the festival subtitles) translate the line as:
"lt takes one old fox to know another, l guess."

Snakes usually represent evil and sneaky/cunning.
So... Maybe someone who is evil or bad, possibly Keel Lorenz, will have his meet ups with the instrumentality team to devise a plan. But in Rebuild we already see all of the instrumentality -sound only- domino's chatting with Gendo.

「国連軍はいいとしても、よく内務省と戦略自衛隊を説得できたものね」
「ま、いろいろと貸しがあるのよ」
「蛇の道は蛇ね……」
"Convincing the UN Forces is one thing, but the Home Ministry and SSDF, too?"
"They owe me a few favors."
"lt takes one old fox to know another, l guess."
Or "it takes a thief to catch a thief". Basically, Misato is in some way like the Home Ministry and the SSDF, has to play their game, but in what way? (Does she lie to them? Threaten them? Frighten them? Suck up to them? Or did she literally mean they owed her favors?)
