To be honest, its expected. Because I highly doubt someone in his condition can be cured even in this generation. In fact, I believe John probably knows that already and thats why he is not that surprised.
John is contented long as he can remain in the care of Dr. Treves, John knows, if he can be cured, Dr. Treves must have talk to him about the possibility of curing him or something.
But I can understand if you are moved by this scene, just that I'm sure that John will surely ask this question the moment John is revealed to be mentally normal, not an imbecile as he seemed to be. -

Well, the part when Dr. Treves cried when he first saw Merrick, because that cry was so natural.
According to the trivia section for this movie, Anthony Hopkins applied method acting in that scene by thinking of his sick father.

When he meets the wife. "I've never been treated this way by a beautiful woman before" or a line close to that. There were many other scenes, but that one was probably the most.

My favourite is when john said to doctor that he want to sleep like normal man. It made me think about his mental conditionhis hopes.. and his positive attitude toward his cruel life. and the end scene where john decided to sleep like a normal man is really breath taking
This is the first movie that made me cry. -

I absolutely love the part when he is attending the opera. It seemed to be the moment that he was offically accepted into Victorian British society. Compared to how people reacted to him earlier in the film, it was extremely moving.

Soon as Adagio for Strings began in the end. I knew he was going to end his life, that was the most moving part, and as soon as he signed his church model and said "It'sfinished", i knew he was definitely going to.

The most moving scene for me was when Treves first sees Merrick at the beginning of the film and begins to cry his response is immediately one of compassion.
I knew right away that it was going to be a special movie. -

So far (I haven't finished the movie yet, but I already know how John Merrick really died), the scene that made me cry was when he breaks down in front of Mrs. Treves and says something like, "Forgive me, but I have never been treated so kindly by such a beautiful woman."
I love only what a person has written with his own blood.
