Susan: All beyond fat and flour...
[last lines]

Susan: It's dark now. But they feel each others' breath. And they know all they need to know. They kiss. And they feel each others' tears on their cheeks. And if there had been anybody left to see them, then they would look like normal lovers, caressing each others' faces, bodies close together, eyes closed, oblivious to the world around them. Because that is how life goes on. Like that.
[first lines]

Susan: [narrating] There was darkness. There is light. There are men and women. There's food. There are restaurants. Disease. There's work. Traffic. The days as we know them, the world as we imagine the world.
Susan: [narrating] They call it Severe Olfactory Syndrome, SOS.
Susan: [narrating] First, the terror. And then a moment of hunger. This is how the sense of taste disappears from our world. They don't even have time to give the disease a name.
Susan: Aren't you going to ask why I haven't been to work?

Stephen Montgomery: Well you've been sick.

Susan: Not sick, just unhappy.

Stephen Montgomery: It's the same thing.

Susan: Unhappy, on account of a man.
James: Well, shall we call it a night?

Michael: I don't know what the fuck we should call it.
Michael: Now, you can invite me back to your place.

Susan: Don't know if I will.

Susan: Well, you-you can just start walking home... and I'll follow you.

[Susan smiles and starts walking. Michael smiles and follows. Susan stops, looks back, sees Michael following and laughs. Michael also laughs]
Michael: I should have made a bigger effort to sniff you the first time you were lying here.
Susan: What do you want?

Michael: What do I want?

Susan: Yeah.

Michael: Well, soon I'd like to close my eyes and try and go to sleep. Which is a big deal for me 'coz usually I... I can't sleep in bed with someone.
Susan: I'm trying to take care of myself.

Jenny: Right. You do that a lot, don't you?
Susan: You're an arsehole.

Michael: I am.

[They hug]
Stephen Montgomery: Incubation period is dropping all the time. It's down from 24 hrs to about 11.

When the goddess meets the goddess, it's the dick and the topless... The few scenes that express the loss of feeling are very well shot. I'm an asshole. Me too.

A European-style romance film in the name of a sci-fi disaster film, the Hong Kong version's name "Paradise Lost Senses" fits the plot, and the two finally came together during the loss of various human senses.

Remember the smile on her lips before her vision blurs, the fragrance in her hair before she loses her sense of smell
