“You're on Earth. There's no cure for that.”

Yes, I love that phrase. It's from Samuel Beckett's "Endgame." I've read the play three times and have seen a movie version of it several times. Here the link to that particular scene (49m48s) of the movie version:

I watched that movie not too long ago, after you & I had been discussing Beckett on Twitter. A great film. I loved it.

It was very well done. Gambon and Thewlis were brilliant. Great actors. I like when Hamm asks his father in the barrel, "Why did you engender me?" And his father replies, "I didn't know." "You didn't know what?" "That it would be you!" Ha ha. Excellent!

I love Gambon's voice. He's so good. What an orator! Perfect for Beckett's writing.
