Do You Think One Year Of Medical School Entitles You To Plow Through The Riches Of My Emersonian Mind?

About

Do You Think One Year Of Medical School Entitles You To Plow Through The Riches Of My Emersonian Mind?, also known as Entitles Me? Yes, refers to a quote from the 2024 film Megalopolis spoken by the character Cesar Catilina (played by actor Adam Driver) that became a catchphrase in memes on social media. It is notably the same moment in the movie in which Driver says, "Go Back to the Club." The scene was notably made fun of for the back-and-forth Driver has with the character Julia Cicero (portrayed by actress Nathalie Emmanuel) in which she says, "Entitles me?!?" and he replies, "Yeeees," over and over.
