Movie Quotes: Perfect Sense


Overwhelmed with grief, 
people are hit with all that they've lost.
Lovers they never had, all the departed friends.. 
they've think about the people they've hurt.

First, overwhelmed with grief.. 
and then no sense of smell.. that's the disease. 
They call it severe old factory syndrome.. S O S.
They say it wasn't contagious, but they do believed that.
- Narrator

Susan: Thought you're in smokes tonight sailor?
Michael: I'm still a chef.

Susan: Even people he didn't know 
and now I'm saying that goodbye sailor.
Michael: You can call me sailor if you like, or Michael.
Susan: When I was a child, 
I thought of it really embarrassing, 
now I'm doing it myself.


Life goes on.. the food become spicier, saltier, 
more sweet, more sour, you get used to it. 
The greater loss or all the memories that'll no longer triggered. 
Smell and memory were connected in the brain.

The scent of cuddlin' could evoke a child with fear of calves.
These are always might back your memories of your first ferry crossing,
without smell, an ocean of passed images disappears.

There are two movements now; 
there are people who run on the streets and grabbing all they can, 
people believe, but at the end of the world.
Then there's the other movement... soldiers reporting for duty.
Those who believe that life will go on somehow, 
or just don't know what else to do.
- Narrator

People prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.
They concentrate to the things that are important to them..
all the things beyond fact and flower.
- Narrator

Hi guys, I really appreciate that you put up this quote. It is a great movie. There is one minor and sweet mistake. You wrote "old factory syndrome". But it should be "olfactory syndrome". The olfactory system is a medicinal expression for the sense of smell. Rainer If you know nothing you have to believe everything
